One of the better articles on the problems facing Europe. Longer read.

In headier days, Europe’s leaders dreamed of a multicultural continent, its aging cities saved by millions of new migrants eager to join a stable, prosperous urbanity. This was the promise behind former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair’s Cool Britannia, the multicultural fervor of Herman Lebovics’s Bringing the Empire Back Home: France in the Global Age, and the early enthusiasm that greeted Germany’s refugee influx in 2015—estimated now at 1.6 million.

That dream has faded, with Europeans now opposing new migration by wide margins. Once-peaceful German and Swedish cities have seen a spike in crime, a resurgence of anti-Semitism, and growing political unrest—all associated with the migrant influx. In 2016, Pew Research found that 59 percent of Europeans thought that immigrants imposed a burden on their countries. In addition, less than a third believe immigration has improved their countries, with 63 percent of Greeks and 53 percent of Italians, respectively, stating that immigrants have made things worse in their economically challenged countries. As the British political thinker Kenan Malik acknowledged in a 2015 Foreign Affairs essay, “multiculturalism” has devolved from “an answer to Europe’s social problems” to a fraught reality of “fragmented societies, alienated minorities, and resentful citizenries.”

In most places, the welcome wagon has been sent out for repairs. Nearly all European countries—even progressive ones like the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Norway, and Germany itself—have imposed stricter immigration controls over the last two years.

Unlike the United States, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, modern Europe never produced melting pot societies. Though French Protestants and Jews, for example, played important roles over the centuries in the development of contemporary financial centers—first in Amsterdam and later in London—immigrants still were relatively marginal in most of the continent’s economic advancement.

From the comments I can't vouch for the accuracy,

An inability to foresee and anticipate geometric/exponential growth is one of the brain's major flaws. In the UK, the Muslim population doubled every 10 years:

1961:0.1%
1971:0.2%
1981:0.4%
1991:0.8%
2001:1.6%
2011:3.2%
2021:6.4%
2031:12.8%
2041:25.6%
2051:51.2%

I would think that the growing antisemitism is roughly equal to the growth of Muslim populations. Putin, a fascist nationalist, is sitting back licking his chops at the hand history has given him.

Europeans are going to be in a growing struggle for the culture thanks to globalism. Then they are going to be in a struggle for their freedom when the nationalistic response seems to align with Putin's viewpoint.

Don't soft peddle what's happening in Australia and Canada, and here. Multicultural globalism as promoted by corporations is eroding our freedom and muddling our culture, and surely is beginning to turn on our faith heritage. And I believe its message has played a large part in the erosion of American unity and what was once our universal defense of our constitutional rights.

Agreed 100%. BTW I didn't post it because not sure of his accuracy but Zogby's latest poll has Trump with an approval rating of 49% with Hispanics and 28% with AAs. We need to get illegal immigration to crawl and fix legal immigration. I think the USA is positioned much much better than Europe moving ahead. Thank god for our constitution. I just saw a story with a tweet from the police in maybe Manchester UK, they tweeted an arrest photo of some guy and a follow up that making fun of his hair on social media could lead to an arrest. The perp is a black guy.

Leftist thought process for Europe
