Possibly it has to do with the higher percentage of Muslim immigrants/welfare sucklings/economic refugees in Europe. Nobody is talking rot about the Muslims' family values and strong work ethic, and if they did, the younger people who have grown up around them would laugh.<br /><br />Also, the unemployment among that age cohort in Europe is horrendous, even if you leave immigrants out of the stats. Not having much in the way of prospects tends to concentrate the mind wonderfully.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-5172426950494586182013-05-31T16:19:55.102-10:002013-05-31T16:19:55.102-10:00BTW, just after posting my comment, I clicked on t...BTW, just after posting my comment, I clicked on the link to Mangan's, a site I don't normally read, and came across this:<br />http://mangans.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-french-womens-traditionalist-group.html<br /><br />Case in point! The situation is VERY different in Europe than the US. The best thing that can happen to Western Civilization is that the US lose its leading role globally, something poor Larry Auster understood - and perhaps you will not, either. But at some point, you patriotic Americans will have to come to terms with the fact that this regime is more akin to the Soviet Union than you care to believe.Marcus Marcellushttps://www.youtube.com/user/MarcusCMarcellusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-20591665661160063652013-05-31T16:12:44.034-10:002013-05-31T16:12:44.034-10:00As a divorced GenXer who still dates Millennial gi...As a divorced GenXer who still dates Millennial girls/women, this analysis seems correct. Now quasi-self-employed, I recall how difficult it was to deal with Boomers on Wall Street. I was not the only Gen X banker to make alliances with the older partners, bypassing the self-regarding Woodstock crowd. <br /><br />But now, dealing with the creatures coming up, I long for the Boomers, who at least were fundamentally libertine and knew how to have a good time. Millennials are EARNEST, good little sheeple. I have never met such principled conformity. They have no imagination because their iLives are run by Google, Apple and HBO. They do, in fact, watch TV - lots of it, but they get their news from Bill Maher (a god among them) and John Stewart.<br /><br />I could go on but I think the piece you quote is fundamentally correct.<br /><br />HOWEVER, in Europe, the resistance to the ongoing deconstruction is strong among that age group. I have long known that Europe will decouple from the US for the simple reason that America is no longer a Western nation. The resistance to gay marriage in France; the reactions in Italy, Austria and Germany; the changes in Russia - these are being led by people of my age group or younger. The US is finished...<br /><br />Enjoy the website.Marcus Marcellushttps://www.youtube.com/user/MarcusCMarcellusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-47434580415040866792013-05-30T11:30:47.440-10:002013-05-30T11:30:47.440-10:00Hello?

I'm not unduly fussed about it, but there used to be more interaction with readers, which is one of the reasons I write the blog.<br /><br />Is the comment moderation a problem? I get about 25 spammers a day -- <i>they</i> sure like the site -- so I felt I had to switch on the filter. Actually Blogger does a decent job of weeding spam out (how? Beats me) but too many were getting through.<br /><br />Any feedback will be appreciated.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.com
