Leonardo Orlando rose to prominence when — at the height of leftist cancel culture — two courses he taught at Sciences Po on political psychology, biology, evolution, and gender were canceled. Ironically, it was at that Parisian university that he earned his Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations.
The decision reportedly stemmed from pressure exerted by those who, driven by gender ideology, opposed Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Orlando’s curiosity led him to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in Cognitive Science and Evolutionary Psychology at the École Normale Supérieure in France, where he has lived since the age of 18. His expertise and critical thinking eventually brought him to the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest, a hub of counter-cultural thought in the face of the “woke” West.
Opposed to extreme political correctness and to a school of thought that views reality through the prism of race and gender, Orlando has closely monitored the violence in Ceuta following the migration surge that allowed tens of thousands of Africans to cross over from Morocco in a matter of hours last July.
We discussed his views on contemporary Europe and the tensions arising from migration in this interview.
Regarding Ceuta, I wouldn’t say it represents something we are going to see in Europe; rather, it is something we have already been observing for some time. The difference is that in Ceuta, the phenomenon is concentrated within a very small area, whereas elsewhere in Europe it is more dispersed. The consequences are concentrated as well.
We are seeing instances of sexual assault against minors and elderly women, as well as security and public health issues. This is present in every corner of Europe experiencing a massive influx of immigrants — particularly, as in the case of Ceuta, involving men of military age and low social status, which serves as a primary indicator from an evolutionary psychology perspective.
These men will attempt to climb the social ladder using whatever means are at their disposal — the most immediate means available to them are those involving the use of violence.
We also know that, generally speaking, they arrive from countries where the average IQ is significantly lower than that of the native population. A lower IQ correlates with a greater propensity for violence and a reduced capacity for impulse control. Fundamentally, this is the demographic profile arriving on the continent.
Beyond these factors, there is also the cultural dimension. They come from cultures that are intensely chauvinistic and anti-Semitic, where a woman who exposes her skin is deemed a prostitute and, consequently, deserving of any mistreatment or abuse inflicted upon her.
Right now in Ceuta — concentrated within a few square meters — we are witnessing a sort of microcosm of the European catastrophe.
For political scientist Agustín Laje, multiculturalism is not merely the “presence of many cultures.” Rather, it is a policy that elevates cultural “diversity” to a principle requiring political protection and recognition, while ignoring the fact that it fosters fragmented societies where distinct groups live according to divergent values, norms, frames of reference, and practices. Is the alleged functionality of multiculturalism a dangerous lie?
Multiculturalism is — much like the vast majority of approaches propagated by the media — anchored in the “common sense” (for lack of a better term) of officials, national governments, elites, and the European Commission. They adopted it during their university education — the very place where this lie, this denial of human nature, is taught.
Multiculturalism never truly existed. In the few historical instances where a coexistence of people did perhaps occur, it had to be maintained by the sword — and by denying the fact that some cultures are inherently incompatible.
