"As Europeās migrant crisis enters a new phase, itās clear that European leaders have neither the will nor desire to preserve their own civilization."
In other words, they are liberals.
Unable To Confront The Migrant Crisis, Europe Is Committing Suicide
In other words, they are liberals.
On Sunday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would not limit the number of refugees coming into the country. āOn the issue of an upper limit, my position is clear,ā Merkel said. āI wonāt accept one.ā
Setting aside the electoral implications of Merkelās statement, which defied her partyās long-term coalition partner just two months before federal elections, it perfectly captured the refusal of European leaders to face the migrant crisis head-onāa refusal that in turn epitomizes the slow suicide of European civilization.
President Trumpās Warsaw speech earlier this month provoked predictable cries of racism and xenophobia from a mainstream media worried that even the term āwestern civilizationā was a dog whistle for alt-right nationalists. Implicit in such criticism is the dubious notion that western values are not really western, that people of all cultures and religions desire more or less the same thing.
His critics say Trump was playing on white Europeansā fears that Muslim migrants wonāt adopt western values and wonāt assimilate into European society, and therefore pose a direct threat to western civilization. But thereās another group that Trump no doubt had in mind, a group that also rejects western civilization and has little interest in defending or preserving it: European elites.
