Is Europe really doomed?
Well the odds are not in her favor.
After WW1 the old order of Europe was destroyed. The last of the absolute monarchies were overthrown. With millions dead the winning allies were in no mood to show magnanimity to the country they blamed for starting the war. When the treaty of Versailles that ended WW1 was imposed on Germany even Marshal Ferdinand Foch who predicted with eerie precision that “This is not Peace. It is an Armistice for twenty years.” .
Likely WW2 would have still been avoided if it were not for the stock market crash of 1929 that sent the America and the world into economic depression. Turned into the “great” depression by the policies of Hoover and Roosevelt. The great economic downturn was the catalyst that gave rise to Hitler and the Nazi party and also fuel Japans militarist into power. Japan was hit hard by the economic depression also.
So then came WW2, and in the end Europe and Japan were ground into dust. with close to 60 million dead worldwide.
Europe has been in the process of decay for a much long time. For hundreds of years Europe has been wracked with wars that were sometime religious in nature but mostly that was the excuse given for kings to make war on their neighbors to grab land and resources. Saving souls for Christ was not at the top of the list.
But came the renaissance which was followed by the enlightenment. A flowering of art and science and a questioning of the religious dogma of the day. The eighteenth century saw two revolutions that rocked the world. The American and the French. Both extolled equality and liberty, but where in America it was mainly fought between armed combatants, in France Liberté, égalité, fraternité was purchased via state terror and rivers of blood. One of the first acts of the revolutionaries was the de-Christianization of France.
With the Industrial Revolution came upward mobility for many but harsh working conditions caused resentment and the devil exploit’s any opportunity. If one believes that the writers of the Bible were guided by the hand of God then the writers of The Communist Manifesto perhaps were guided by the hand of Satan. Of course Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels didn’t believe in Satan either.
After WW2 America rebuilt (the western half) Europe with the Marshall Plan. It also took on the responsibility of defending Europe against a Soviet Invasion. Freed from having to defend themselves they decided they could do Marxism Socialism the right way without the firing squads and Gulags. Free healthcare and education can be very appealing along with 30 days paid vacation. And so what if you can’t find a job, the check would be in the mail forever. If a government is going to care for you cradle to grave, who needs God.
Christian Europe, who repulsed Muslim invasions in the sieges of Vienna in 1529 and in 1683 is no more. Decades of living the “good” life led to falling birth rates. Suddenly there were not enough people to man the jobs and pay the taxes mass immigration from Muslim countries began in hopes that they would assimilate. They don’t.
The European Left, preoccupied with political correctness and climate change cannot and doesn’t want to see the threat Europe is under. Their hubris is without measure. They cannot admit a mistake. It’s their religion.
And Left wing America admires them and demands that we be like them.
Perhaps when the Muslims take over they will do away with shit like this.
