Europeans, and Europe, would overreact and turn their own societies into something extremely authoritarian, and throw out many of the good parts of their heritage.
This is it exactly and why I even bother being a part of these discussions.
I can't believe people don't see the historical parallels.
The correct way to handle this would be rolling back society to conservative liberal ideals of most European countries. To Smith and Burke. Don't give people lifetime welfare just for showing up. Don't have this massive public sector which needs victims to stay in power. Man up and take care of your own. 50 years ago, it was considered a great shame to ask the government for welfare, now it is speculated in.
The masses will not want that though. They have been taught to look for someone to take care of them. Once the demographic problem becomes too large, they will simply exchange one set of international socialists with another set of national socialists.
These parties in Europe are largely national-socialists. Their economic policies are well on the left.
How can you fail to see the 20s repeating?
