European self loathing

Europe is not only figuratively killing itself, it is literally killing itself. Limping along with a birth rate of 1.5, Europe is slowly becoming a Muslim continent. Along with that has come all of the expected friction between native Europeans and the new immigrants. Not satisfied with slowly exterminating itself, The Netherlands is now speeding up the process. A hospital in The Netherlands has announced that it has begun to euthanize those "incapable of deciding for themselves whether they want to end their lives," in accordance with a new law, and that includes infants.

Europe has long been where "Progressives" decide that abortion is good, euthanisizing the terminally ill is good, but the death penalty is bad. Now they can say that euthanising fully born babies is good. Nevermind the contradictions. Europe "gets" it. The rest of us are just too damn simple. After all, any sensible person knows that those incapable of deciding to end their own lives need someone else to pull the plug for them, and that those who kill others deserve to live long lives.

Europe has become the Goth kid everyone knew in high school. You know the type, they walk around mightier than than thou, hating everyone, but really loathing the hell out of themselves. Misery loves company, and there is nothing Europe would love to see more than us going down the drain with them. Well, we played Europe's hero enough during the 20th century. It's on its own now. And it isn't going to be pretty to watch.
