The Desire To Protect "Culture"

[Louis VI the Fat]

I've got nothing against culture. Some of my best friends are cultured men.

Yes we do, as we're not having enough babies.

But why should a population grow for all eternity? Or stay at the exact amount it is now?

I say let Europe lose half its population, or three quarters. This will be far more sustainable. East Asian populations are dropping too. Nobody is contemplating replacing the shrinking population of Japan with New Guineans.

Overpopulation and the graying of our population are the real threats for Europe. The fact that previous generations of politicians wasted the tax money of my parents instead of saving some, makes these problems potential disasters. Looking at our current generations of politicians, it has all the looks that these problems will indeed turn out disastrous for us. Legions of uneducated immigrants with no skills won't be the solution; in fact they might become the catalyst to set the disasters in motion.
