    Germany‘s population is projected to shrink this year as slowing migration can‘t make up for low birth rates anymore. It’s also likely more german young adults will migrate elsewhere due to low demand of young workers domestically. I suspect the trend is similar in many EU countries. This will only worsen the problem. We‘re destroyed by hate and selfishness, not migration.

      What’s the problem of a smaller population? The population can’t grow forever…

      Maybe the governments should start thinking in making the life easier for young adults

        But that is not part of the plan to transfer us into technofeudalism.

        Problem in most countries is the speed of decline. A lot of old people, who can’t work, need to be cared for by a lower number of young people. And the normal work needs to be done too, if we want to keep our level of living standard.

        That is the neutral version.

        Less work slaves for the Epstein class is the reason why newspaper owners are caring for that problem.

          They created the problem. They should have thought about it. It’s either fuck them or fuck the younger generations. I say fuck the old people they have more guilt in the current situation.

    The heated confrontation in the European parliament came on Wednesday after lawmakers voted 418 to 218 to approve controversial measures aimed at increasing deportations of undocumented people.

    418 to 218 is not a close vote by any stretch of the imagination.

    People may disagree with the chants and/or the policy here, but in any event, it does appear that the writing is on the wall. It isn’t just the US which is increasingly anti-immigrant, and these sentiments do seem to be spreading across the world.

    I know I’ll be downvoted into oblivion, but this reflects the will of the people in the EU.

    You can’t say you control a Nation or a Union if you can’t control its borders. The Roman empire had a horrible problem with illegal immigrants also. This isn’t a new thing.

      Vulgar conduct isn’t about representation. And “the people” are having their brains cooked by hysterical unregulated algorithms pushing fear and division.

      The will of those who have been brainwashed by social media to believe immigrants are the source of all their problems.

      It’s true that border control is important, but border control does not mean that you cannot seek asylum.

      Ah, once again, somebody who discovered the democracy theory from around 2000 years ago.

      Bravo, only two millenia to catch up.

      Spoiler: modern democracies define themselves by more than “the majority”, that is what one could’ve learned from history.

      All those “Western Values” people like to preach about? Well, in theory those are about protecting minorities, helping refugees, etc. pp.

      Go read about it, before you shout “that is the wIlL oF tHe PeOpLe”.

        Nonono, Christ is only invoked to shame people, never to follow on his teaching and care for those less fortunate.

      The only thing you got right was your name. Although xenophobicbitteroldcoot would be more accurate.

      That is hardly comparable. Back then they didn’t use boats but elephants.
