Living mostly on the west coast I can say that the "self-hating" segment of the population is not that "smaller [a] segment." As for what is going on currently in the Western world, regardless of whether we think there are other countries deeper into the process of self-renunciation, it essentially was kicked into very high gear with America and our election of Obama, looked at also almost as an otherwordly savior by many across the West. Of course conservatives and Republicans looking for cheaper and more compliant labor also substantially has fueled the process. Even if Trump wins and tries to deport millions, the latter of which I highly doubt, that will bring about the beginning of an existential crisis in the West, and when the rest of the West sees Trump in large part stopped by the courts and even effectively by his own party that will be essentially the final nail.

This was one of the best-written descriptions I've seen of where Western Civilization is at this point. I find myself torn between trying to save what remains - or making plans for building upon the ashes. At this point, I lean heavily toward the latter.
