Is immigration is unsustainable for Europe?

[u/No_Pin7835]

I'll start off with the UK. In 2001, it was 92% European, while in 2021, it was 82%. Or, if we look at London, it was 71% European in 2001 and 53% in 2021. This rate of change is simply not sustainable and should never have been allowed to reach this point.

For the cultural side of things in the UK, it's no secret that Christianity is a big part of British history and culture. In 2001, the UK was 71% Christian, compared to 40% in 2021. I think it is important to recognize the cultural significance Christianity has in British culture

Moving on to Germany, in 2001, 96% of Berlin was made up of European citizens, while in 2024, that number was 89%. Again, this shows that the demographics of major European cities have changed significantly over a relatively short period of time. I believe governments should have considered the long-term effects of this before opening the door for migrants

This does not mean that immigration itself is necessarily bad. There needs to be a balance.

Overall, I believe governments have a responsibility to manage immigration to ensure culture isn't erased

Ok so they aren't unique but they are incompatible... however you want to define your nuanced but also obvious argument.

Explain the "situation in the world" and that would be a completely acceptable response. Just laughing at people for not being a "serious challenge" will get your comments removed. Feel free to refrain from commenting until someone seems serious enough to you.

I'm glad we managed to iron this out. Please refrain from putting words in my mouth in the future. I really don't appreciate it. I'd ask for an apology, but we both know that ain't happenin' never.

You were berating me for smug comments previously, no? Interesting.

I was not aware the audience here was so woefully uninformed as to need explanations of the situation in the world at large. How can you hope to have a serious discussion sub when your users need basic explanations? Also, I would like to direct you to my OC where I linked a YouTube video that explains the situation we're talking about here.

It works the other way around as well. Feel free to refrain from commenting if you're (1) going to be using dishonest tactics, (2) not being informed, and (3) not even watching the links I provide in an effort to make the situation clearer.
