Europe Has Fallen

That is, according to SkyNews Australia.

True or False?

Is this just Chicken Little "Sky is falling!" bullshit, or is it accurate?

Reading the comments, many people seem to feel it's accurate.

But it's SkyNews Australia, and they're hysterical right-wingers.

So it's kind of hard to tell.

Rather than "falling" and immigration this is probably a much greater problem. When did people start accepting feelings as a gauge for accuracy? When I grew up they taught us that you need to know and learn as much as possible in order to understand the world. Now it's increasingly accepted to just go by your feeling. And on top of that, people report what others SEEM to feel.

Has the world really become that difficult to understand so that these mental shortcuts are necessary for "many people"?

It’s so funny to me… don’t people realize that immigrants and immigration have been around since the beginning of time? People leave areas that aren’t good for areas that are. If you don’t want it, the areas that have wealth in abundance should help those other areas develop so they won’t want to leave.

by Anonymousreply 16July 16, 2025 12:36 PM

^btw Europe is a prime example. Immigrants fled Europe in the time leading up to WWII and then after because Europe was pretty poor. Now no one leaves Europe to immigrate to the U.S.

by Anonymousreply 17July 16, 2025 12:38 PM

The problem isn't really immigration, R16.

The real problem is badly behaved immigrants.

People who leave their shithole country behind, for a better country, and then bring all of their shitty ways with them.

They don't try to assimilate. They don't try to lift themselves up.

Instead, they (and mainly their kids) end up trying to turn their host country, into the same shithole that they left.

Where's the sense in that???

Immigrants must respect their host country, and do everything they can to assimilate.

But that is not the case at all in Europe.

Muslim immigrants want to turn European countries into Muslim countries.

African immigrants bring all of their violence with them into European countries.

If that's the case, then go back to where you came from (if you like it so much).

R16 All these immigrants will destroy the European countries. Europe developed a democratic polity. Not many countries outside of Europe or European descent have been able to create strong democracies. The way wealth is built up in Western Europe and the Americas is because of the development of strong institutional capital markets, recognition of intellectual property, and contracts as enforceable. Additionally, Christianity played a huge role. The left does not want to acknowledge it.

[quote]All these immigrants will destroy the European countries.

Europe was quite diverse until WW2, when forced movement of millions of people created the ethnic homogeneity you seem to think is natural.

[quote]Europe developed a democratic polity.

It was forced on Germany and Italy at gunpoint. France wasn't so hot either. Switzerland didn't let women vote until 1972.

[quote]Not many countries outside of Europe or European descent have been able to create strong democracies.

Many countries of European decent created hideous, murderous dictatorships. And those strong democracies were happy to do business with hideous dictatorships.

[quote]The way wealth is built up in Western Europe and the Americas is because of the development of strong institutional capital markets, recognition of intellectual property, and contracts as enforceable.

This helps, one supposes, but the European Empires (that didn't end until around 1955) helped. If you look around Brussels, the wealth that you see on display was largely robbed from Central Africa at gunpoint, under the most hideous circumstances. The great fortunes of the English upper class were created on the backs of slaves at sugar plantations. It's only until after WW2 that Europe started to behave in a way that you think it's always behaved.

[quote]Additionally, Christianity played a huge role.

Ireland was the most Christian nation in Europe and was the poorest. Same with Portugal. It was only when they secularized that they grew rich.

There have always been empires, often very violent ones. Muslims have as much if not more blood on their hands than anyone else, but they'll behead you for saying the truth. Oddly, only Europeans are singled out as the only imperialists or enslavers, when islamic imperialism and slavery continue to this day.

None of what R21 says really matters. Every nation state has a right to its own border, culture and homeland, and, yes, this can be based on race. Europe (and every country in it) has basically signed its death warrant unless it finally gets some backbone, closes borders, enforces its values, laws and rules ruthlessly. There are cultural reasons why most of the muslim-majority countries are shitholes. Ditto for Africa which was really destroyed by African socialist dictators (educated in the west) in the 60s and 70s. Africans are destroying each other on many levels, that is on them.

London and Paris both have had very large African, Arab and Desi populations for well over a century. Yes, there are more of them now but the difference seems to be that they want political representation and the colonial overseers hate that.

Plus, the populations of the wealthy former imperial centers are aging. You need younger workers. Are you really so racist that you'd prefer a poor, all-white country as opposed to a more wealthy, more diverse one?

Yeah, probably.

Japan doesn't seem to be suffering, even with their aging population.

They are probably the strictest country when it comes to immigration, and it has served them well.

They don't suffer from many of the social problems that are plaguing Europe and the US right now.

And the workers they actually do import, are not given citizenship, and must return home at some point.

THAT is how you handle immigration.

Sure they do. Rural Japan is empty of young people. Anyone with a brain in their head gets the hell out and moves to the cities where there's work. There's no one to staff hospitals or act as carers for elderly Japanese whose children have moved away. Their pension systems are in danger. The choice is becoming tax wage earners even more highly or let the growing number of retired Japanese slip into poverty.

R32 this is true. Its helped by the fact that nobody (bar a small number of rural owners for vermin control and the like) really needs a gun in Japan as it is so safe, so gun ownership is miniscule as it should be in any sane, functional society
