France Enfeebled

The French appear to have “used up” their ability to resist attacks on their culture during the horrific trench battles of the Great War which ended in 1918. In what became known as World War II most basically rolled over and surrendered to German domination.

Now it appears they are doing so again. See a Gatestone Institute article by University of Paris scholar Guy Millière which lays out the extent to which French President Macron is surrendering the country to its Muslim immigrants, while suppressing ethnic French unrest. It is depressing, to say the least. Millière writes:

The main concern of Macron and the French government seems not to be the risk of riots, the public's discontent, the disappearance of Christianity, the disastrous economic situation, or Islamization and its consequences. Instead, it is climate change. Although the amount of France's carbon dioxide emissions is infinitesimal (less than 1% of the global total), combatting "human-induced climate change" appears Macron's absolute priority.

On a personal note, in 2015 the other DrC and I were dismayed by how Paris had been trashed, and left to persist in that condition. On a taxi ride between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon, what we saw was depressing, much worse than it had been just a few years earlier. It’s a pathetic fate for a once-beautiful and proud city.
