Sin futuro

Mark Steyn sobre aquello de que las sociedades no se suicidan. Me hace acordar a Children of Men.

Me preocupa mucho lo de la baja natalidad de Canadá. Québec, con un esfuerzo enorme, ha conseguido elevar su tasa de natalidad en los últimos cinco años. Hay mucha gente entusiasmada a tal punto que hablan de un segundo “baby boom”. El problema es si se va a mantener.

Pero, por el lado positivo, tal vez debido a su persecuta, en la provincia existe plena conciencia del suicido que implican las tasas de natalidad de no reposición de la población:

The transformation of developed societies - either into old folks' homes (like Japan) or semi-Islamized dystopias (like Amsterdam, Brussels, etc) - will lead, in fact, to emigration. A young German or Japanese circa 2040 will have no reason whatsoever to stay in his native land and have most of his income confiscated in a vain attempt to prop up an unsustainable geriatric welfare system. So, many will leave. Where will they go? At one time the obvious answer would have been America - but Good King Barack seems determined to saddle us with the same unaffordable entitlements that have scuttled the rest of the west.
