RE: The End of The World As We Know it - EUROPE and it's inevitable future!
Nice post, lots of cold hard facts which I really enjoy seeing on Steemit. A few points that I feel might have been missed in this post. First, despite the barrage of negative news coming from the Arab/Islamic world recently the region is at a historical low point in conflict. Israel and the regional powers remain at peace and this cannot be overlooked when considering the levels of violence there now. Second, those aid dollars flowing out of europe have done much to develop the regions and countries that the immigrants of various types left behind. For countries with high levels of unemployment remittances are a critical source of development funds for the people left behind. Large parts of Latin America and Asia have fueled their development in early stages with this outside capital so it's incorrect to see those funds as a theft from Europe. The better the average person does in Iraq or Syria then the less likely they need to move at all. And finally, recent changes in technology like Steemit itself could possibly mean that the movement of people globally going forward becomes even less likely as they might be able to generate more income using what they have access to on the internet. And let's not forget that the generation of Muslims growing up in Europe going forward could just as easily be cosmopolitan and progressive as they are backwards looking. Europe has been dominated by Islam in the past and came through it just fine. Thanks again for this amazing post. @jackmiller
