If one has only become aware of the current regressive leftist "intersectional" feminist multiculturalist ideology in recent years, one easily gets the impression that it's a relatively recent fad. That going back 10 or 20 years it was almost non-existent, until it suddenly gained a lot of traction.
In many countries, such as the Nordic Countries, the history of modern multiculturalism is a bit older than that, though. It traces it roots all the way back to the early 1980's, and started gaining a lot of mainstream traction already in the 1990's (only speeding up from there).
A big part of this multiculturalist movement has always been social engineering. The activists and advocates trying to make multiculturalism an integral and inseparable part of society and culture, and any criticism and opposition to be highly vilified and demonized.
Already in the 1990's the narrative, often repeated in newspaper opinion pieces, TV and other publications, was that immigration is something inevitable. It happens, and will happen, completely regardless of anything. As surely as the Sun raises every morning, as surely as the tides go in and out every month, as surely as people grow old and die, immigration will happen. As a matter of course, as a self-evident fact, like a force of nature.
It's just part of life, like growing old, and we just have to accept it, and consider it complete normal. The only question is how we deal with it, not whether we allow it to happen. How much money is spent dealing with immigrants and have them integrate into society, and fund their healthcare, schooling and jobs, and what kind of services we need to provide and create for immigrants.
Even the idea of stopping immigration is completely off the table. It doesn't even register. Even the idea would be as silly as thinking that we can live forever, or that we can stop the Earth from rotating, or the tides from happening. It's not even part of the conversation, because such ridiculous fantasies don't even need to be considered. Anybody presenting such ideas should be ignored and shunned, and considered lunatics and the fringe of society, in the same way as any doomsayer and conspiracy theorist nutjob. It must not be part of the conversation at all.
This is also the source of the extremely commonly held misconception of the nebulous "international agreements" that force us to take immigrants, and "sanctions" that would be imposed onto us if we were to refuse. Everybody knows of these "international agreements" and "sanctions", even though nobody can name them or give a single reference to them, or give any examples of this happening. But they surely exist, and the sanctions would surely be bestowed upon us if we were to resist. It is always the thing that people immediately bring up when the discussion is about this subject and somebody dares to suggest that maybe we shouldn't take any more immigrants. The looming "sanctions" are always there, like the monster in the closet, like the slenderman in the forest, hidden there ready to jump out at the smallest sign of dissent.
It just goes to show how successful the decades of social engineering have been. It is indeed so that the majority of the population in the Nordic Countries (and much of Europe in general) just "know" that immigration is inevitable and cannot and shouldn't be resisted, and that bad things will happen to us if we dare to even question its inevitability. They also "know" that anybody questioning this doctrine must be a racist and a bigot. How can anybody even think of opposing the blessings of immigration?
