Europe is a serfdom & always has been.

Everything is done to prop up the stature of "Lords" (the already big)

And sqeeze out or limit the ambition of serfs wanting to reach Lordly status.

Its a nice place if you are docile donkey that love's being taken care of by lords and have no personal agency whatsoever.

21st century Lords are the american billionaire class. They don't take care of their serfs though.

[abc123abc123]

True. The ambitious brains flee europe, the docile remain and love it. That is why the quality of life in europe is steadily going down, and taxes steadily increasing.

In the end, europe will be a historical museum with a tourist economy and nothing else. All industry will have moved to the US and asia.

It's sad, but, it is also a valuable lesson for other regions on how not to destryo themselves!

[cenamus]

All industry? Who build more cars, cranes, extreme UV chip machines, the US or the EU? Even up there in nuclear fusion

[tmn]

Their claim was that future industry would move to Asia or us. Comparisons of US to EU for present day do nothing to contradict this claim.

I have no take on this claim being true
