Right.

Because past history = inevitable future.

Absurd.

Can you point out a difference between our society any any that preceded us? We are definitely becoming very perverse and incompetency and graft abound. I see nothing on this site except deep mistrust of the government and its officers. Large blocks of citizens live on the public dole. All of this occurs in the last two stages of collapse.

If everything is hopeless, why do you insist on remaining alive?

Just look! Everything people complain about on this site are both symptoms and cause of collapse. Please read “The Palladium Letter” I linked above.

The socialising here isn’t “networking” — but rather to become part of a collective, with a shared understanding of who you are (in this case, French) and why it’s good to be that.

It's "good" to have your head up your ass, sit back in a stupid cafe, while Muslims take over your nation?

“soulless Americanisation“

Neither the Americans nor the Israelis Europeans love to complain about are the source of their problems.

It’s letting in “cultural enrichers” from the Middle East that is the problem.

We had the same situation in the late 1800s in places like New York.

I am not hopeless. The drive behind what I say is to warn of the consequences of taking no action. The idea is to increase the tempo of corrective behavior. Trump will not be our President past this term, so The People need to frantically assure follow-on.

Besides, rebuilding civilization might be fun. ;-D

I am well aware of the collapse of civilizations. I personally would like to do everything possible to thwart the collapse of ours. But that’s just me.

I’m not the only one suggesting collapse. There are numerous “how brow” people studying this angle. Go read the material to which I provided links, and then reconcile what you read to ongoing events and attitudes. We can probably postpone collapse, but only if we identify and reverse the causes.

Naw, it is at the very least you and me. I do believe people need to come to grips with the seriousness of our problems.

Muslims running around with knives and machetes adds bold excitement to European cafes. All the little Trotskyites sipping absinthe can stroke heir beards in wonderment as their mates are gutted like cod.

Becoming more European is not going to improve our mental health.

I wonder if France’s new jihadi masters will allow them to keep their cafe culture....

I spend a lot of time in Europe for my job. I like visiting, but I have ZERO desire to live there. Give me my farmhouse in the country where I can shoot my rifles off of my porch and not have some bureaucrat controlling my every move.
