 We're in decline, but I don't agree with the doomers who say we couldn't turn it around, long-term.
But turn-around is only probable if the population isn't constantly diluted with large numbers of newcomers. Especially unproductive ones with an incompatible culture.

We're not mass-importing Brazilian engineers, Indian software developers, and South African doctors, after all. A lot of us wish we were, but they're usually like, Nah, bro. Have fun with your Muslim fundamentalists and sky-high taxes, bro.πŸ€™

 Agree, that's incompatible and unsustainable for any developed society. 

Your government and my government have to stop doing stupid, crazy shit.

We have to keep calling them out, and being brutal. That's why they've been so keen on censorship the past few years.

Get on them. Stay on them, and demand results. Your overlords are enjoying the cushy life and wealth they're stealing from you..πŸ—‘οΈπŸ¦…πŸ—½βœοΈπŸ˜
