@ZontarAlt The American system is just a much better integration system, for example a clear majority of second gen and third generation Hispanic and African/carribean immigrants in America identify as American and act accordingly while in Europe the opposite is happening.
@ZontarAlt@The_Davos_Man They invisioned a new Europe of old native Europeans and newly integrated migrants bringing their culture to seamlessly join in and save the European welfare state for the benefit of all. What happened was the exact opposite but foreseeing would mean betrayal of globalization.
@ZontarAlt@The_Davos_Man Don't get me wrong I see the numbers, it's just that the idea really wasn't that unreasonable especially with the logic of globalization and that nation states are outdated modes of state hood. We see it has failed in a cultural and economically but the plan was pretty clear.
@ZontarAlt@The_Davos_Man The worse indictment of this want or fantasy was that the German government metrics shows half of the top income immigrants leave in around 5 year's time, meaning the only thing keeping the current immgration population in Germany solvent is a constant rotation of top immigrants.
@ZontarAlt@The_Davos_Man If it's immigrants that got put things in the pot but only take out, the expectation is the refugees and migrants second and third generation atleast will seemingly integrate and start putting into the pot and the regular immigrants first gen would put things into the pot.
@ZontarAlt@The_Davos_Man You have to be reasonable about this topic ever since the modern cultural and economic environment drifted away from have replacement level amount of kids the only way to keep the welfare state viable long term is immgration for these nations. Though it's still dieing.
@coelho_ren66848@RyanMcbeth it comes off that way cause S.K was given a heads up by the trump admins defense strategy everyone can read, but S.K ignored it. And it's also a thing about who holds the cards and for America vs our allies it's America who holds the cards with an ever increasing hand.
@actsmaniac Tbh I feel America , Russia, and Ukraine are really the only places with such an abundance of farmland this isn't really that much of a worry, while china, india, and Europe it's actually a consideration.
@Urek687874@The_Davos_Man Really Europe main focus should be dealing with there pension crisis and gdp growth crisis russia is a looming threat but ultimately the economic and growth crisis will bring European civilization to it's knees as they are the wall of the demographic collapse of Europe.
@WaywardWestern1@Sterrenbee63001@The_Davos_Man They by plan aren't really traditional nation states, the E.U is supposed to be steering the ship but the E.U just perpetuates European weakness by alot of there regulations and laws and that is also by design to move away from the traditional power points of nation states.
@ViktorBlaskov@JusDisBoy@EuropeanPan Isn't germany set to have just muslims be like 20% of the population in 2050 and around 40% of the working age population though I know those projections are nased on a scenario where there birth rates dropped faster then expected.
@KinderheimRune@posta_octavian The same spain that refuses to spend on it's milltray for collective European defense the same spainsh territories used as a main gateway for migrants into Europe, a route spain has essentially showed they will relax enforcement on to keep their aging demographics up.
@KinderheimRune@posta_octavian it's a waste of political influence and time in practice, as the world is shifting from a globalized one to a one of political spheres and protectionism, you are wasting political capital on your main defender to protect spains overseas territories?
@actsmaniac@yimbyism This is more so a life line for the surging energy cost and new taxes that are about to be levied against the rich to save the pension/welfare system.
@rabello47771@lporiginalg Nothing is guaranteed in life but it makes it substantially less likely to be elderly and alone. Like taking a vaccine or medicine Nothing is 100% but hey even a 75% chance is better then the alternative.
@jakob_w2002@ProudBavaria All he can do is just do what he is doing now the measures, in hope they boost some revenue create some cushion for the nation for when the real decline starts to set in the gen z and nation have something to fall back on and build future fiscally smart policies for the nation.
@jakob_w2002@ProudBavaria The problem is that the German current equation is simply that the decline is baked in and guaranteed, he can't go back and make germans of the past decide to have more kids, he can't cut pensions without being kicked out the government and the pensions reinstated.
