This startlingly prescient article explains, better than any news report could, what is happening in Paris this week. A long read, but for anyone interested in this most important story very worthwhile.

Long, but good. I love hearing how our nation has all these unique problems. Seems the rest of the world has them as well.

"Everyone knows la douce France..." Thought he said La Douche... at first glance. All of Dalrymple's columns are good reads about the decay of western civ.

From these projects, the excellence of the French public transport system ensures that the most fashionable arrondissements are within easy reach of the most inveterate thief and vandal. Wonder why lots of middle class Americans aren't interested in improving public transportation?

It seems to be a matter of time only before this spreads across Europe.
As infuriating as the French are- much about their culture has enriched the world- yet their unwillingness to face themselves will be their undoing.

Excellent article. I think there was another article by Dalrymple here earlier today. Impressive.
Although it may see peripheral, what he says about le Corbusier is all too true. I would add the Bauhaus School. The International Style is dehumanizing to a sickening degree.

There's nothing prescient about this ninny's article. This reality was predicted over 33 years ago in
The Camp of the Saints.
Want to know why Dalrymple is a fool? Saying this:
Unless it assimilates these millions successfully
The problem isn't that they aren't "assimilating". The problem is that they are there. They and their religion have no plan for assimilation and never did.
Quite the opposite.

ALL of us in the West have a dog in this fight.
Today, France and Western Europe.

I read this a while back here on FR. It is a great piece. Theodore Dalrymple is a great social commentator. Thanks for posting it.
