Europe is slowly dying, inch by inch, as we watch in fascinated horror. Even more bizarre, the death is volitional. The choice to live exists, it is in front of them, but they cannot bring themselves to take it.
What's happening isn't exactly suicide, they didn't elect to die. It more nearly resembles someone who cannot be bothered to take the steps needed to live, or who finds those steps morally repugnant. This phenomenon is not, unfortunately, unknown or particularly rare.
Requiescat in pace.
