Perhaps that explains the elites’ mad drive for mass immigration into the West.
Actualy in a sense it is. Due to our hedonistic post 1960s lifestyle and the cult of death scarifies to the death god, Abortion, the population of the West is in decline. In many of the nations of Europe the birth rate is actually a negative number.
Combine that with the overly generous social welfare state and increases in human longevity and you have an inverted pyramid of more old people collecting more benefits then the taxpayers paying in can support. So, some “smart” people decided the solution to that problem is a mass migration of third world peon to re-populate the European tax base.
What they did not think about, like Rome before them, is the barbarians are not coming to become Europeans, they are coming to replace the Europeans with their own cultures.
