The leftist elitists want to fiddle while main street burns.
Not yet. I give it 20-30 years. It won’t be sudden; it will be gradual as the Muslim population continues to grow, while Europeans continue to not have children. But it’s inevitable. Self-induced suicide.
We will see what happens to the elites security when the SHTF in europe. Afterall their security is made up of the very people the elite despise.
The ruling elites have fooled themselves into thinking they’ll be in control as the demographics shift. Truth be, they’ll be among the first on the chopping block and all those elderly white folks will see their benefits go up in smoke. A majority Muslim rule will see no benefit to providing retirement and health care to the natives.
My neighbor, Jerry Occam, has a simpler explanation:
Stable, or worse, falling population levels are unacceptable to the powerful business interests that are the financial controllers of the political class. They demand population growth any way the politicians can deliver it and the politicians comply.
The loss of the great European culture is an unfortunate byproduct of the resulting immigration policies but it’s the ptice you have to pay if you are going to grow your business.
FYI
This confirms our discussions.
Just as John Derbyshire’s advice to his children is good advice, and Nineteen Eighty-four is a valid warning about about dystopian, statist and totalitarian government, Raspail’s The Camp of the Saints is an accurate primer on how Europe is committing slow suicide.
But they all anger “progressives” and we know why.
Europe aborted millions of babies and God replaced them with Muslims.
Those in government have been bringing in replacements for you and your families for decades now.
Like the article says, the elite don’t give a zip what the tax slaves think or want. It’s why taxes never go down in places like CA. They only want more and more tax dollars. A never ending circle the money drain for many people who haven’t had a significant pay raise in many years and have likely had their benefits slashed or trashed in the last decade or so.
I recently read “Submission” by Michel Houellebecq, a very compelling and believable vision of the “end game” for “European countries like France who have become ‘bodies without a soul – zombies’”.
For those who don’t want to read the whole book, here’s a detailed and well done synopsis/review of the book.

It’s unsettling, but unless the west regains its “soul” and its fight, it may end up being our future... and as testimony to how low we’ve sunk, it may be better than the pervasive nihilism of today.
Here’s a snippet from the review...
“For Houellebecq, history is the story of the rise and fall of civilisations. The only lasting civilisations, as he sees it, rest on a solid foundation of shared religious values. Once those values disintegrate, a civilisation slides into inexorable decline, and becomes susceptible to what, in “Atomised” (1998), he called a ‘metaphysical mutation’, a sudden and decisive transformation of its values. These metaphysical mutations are the engine of history. Politics and economics – the stuff materialists get worked up about – are of secondary importance.”
Good article. Thanks for posting.
