In his Real Good Oil piece last week, Nathan Smith argued that the real cause of European decline wasn’t the millions of Muslims and sub-Saharan Africans who have invaded the continent over recent decades. No, he argued, it was the world’s great bogeyman: America.
Now, I appreciate a good contrarian as much as anyone. But is Nathan really onto something?
The problems begin very early on in his argument:
Europeans […] were conquered in 1945 and those occupiers are in total control of their politics, culture and future.
Conquered? Or saved?
