What are the closest historical analogies to what’s happening today in the West? What happens when an ethnic majority is rapidly (in historical terms) replaced with one or more minorities?
Is there a historical precedent for a wealthy, prosperous elite turning against less affluent/educated members of its own ethnicity and promoting unrestricted immigration to dilute out the formerly dominant ethnic group?
In some other cultures elites have looked down on the majority, going so far as to adopt another language or subscribe to a mystery cult; but none deliberately sought to displace the very people from which the elite itself had sprung.
That in essence is the sickness of the West.

One aspect of Prof Kauffman’s very good analysis that nobody will discuss is the demographic explosion happening in Central Africa.
The population of Africa is due to quadruple by 2100. Populations currently double every 25 years. Nigeria, one of the most unsustainably growing countries, has a population of over 200 million, and will be 400 million in the next 25 years.
There are already no jobs for the majority of the 200 million there, and no plan, or capable government, to deal with the next wave of 200 million people.
These demographic changes will drive key geopolitical conflicts across the continent, but also transform European politics beyond recognition. 200 million people attempting to immigrate to Europe will either cause Europe to become African, or make it deeply isolationist. I cannot see another option on the horizon.
Unfortunately neither left nor right will talk about this reality, much less propose sensible solutions to it.
Such discussions have been going on for a long time on certain websites. I should know.
Steve Sailer has a graph from the UN revised in 2019 showing the projected population growth of sub-Saharan Africa. He’s called it for several years the world’s most important chart.
If you haven’t seen it (I’m pretty sure you have) Google “Steve Sailer’s Most Important Graph.”

Nope.
Western ethnomasochism is unprecedented.
