“How is the continent supposed to take care ... “
There’s a more concerning subject than that, and a reason I never understood why the radical muslims do what they do, especially since they are so patient.
You need 2.2 kids per each couple to maintain a population (in this case, population= culture.) I forget the number for Europe - which resembles our blue states - something like 1.2. That’s a parabolic, not geometric curve - in the direction of ‘death of the culture.’
In Europe, the population slack is being replaced by Muslims.
In the US I believe the Red states save us at about even because Red State birth rates compensate for Blue States.
Mark Steyn was one of the (and perhaps THE) first to begin yelling about this 10 years ago.
It trumps politics - because it doesn’t matter whether the western culture populations move left or right. Why? They are eliminating themselves in reverse proportion to how bunnies multiply/replicate.
And who is replicating? And who is immigrating?
That’s why Mark’s theme is often on ‘Death of the West’ ... he’s not just saying ‘oh we are moving too left’ ... or that ‘gosh too much immigration’
What he’s saying is that we are KILLING OURSELVES by not replacing ourselves.
So I wonder sometimes why the muslims don’t just keep immigrating quietly into Europe, and then in a few generations they can have simply take over politically.
In a sense, having 1 child fewer than the 2.2 average needed to keep a population steady, is just one child an invading force never needs to kill. So we’re fighting their battle against us, for them. We’re on their side by not reproducing.
This trumps politics - because without enough lefties and righties to fight it out, in comes the third, dominant culture - whatever it is.
It was about 7 years ago, after reading Steyn and some others that I realized ... this is simply a more foundational subject than even the Constitution.
When there is no one left to practice the Constitution, or when the lumpen electorate can come up with a 3/4 majority - because the electorate is a ‘replacement culture,’ they can just amend, amend, amend, and bye bye Western Culture - both liberals and conservatives would perish in that fire.
No need for war - no need even for revolution. So why don’t the Muslim’s just wait it out - immigrate, immigrate, immigrate?
The French, maybe 7 years ago, in fear of exactly this, began rewarding couples financially for having more than 1 baby, and as I recall it was significantly more ... significant ... than simply adding a deduction for another dependent.
