just (bad) opinions, without even minimal evidences of of -real- facts.
The crisis of Europe is way more in the massive investment in speculative finance than in real in-house investments and development, in the past 30 years. results? No resources = no strategic tech, no defence, no cheap energy, low employments, no higher wages, no redistribution, no public sanity, austerity to keep orders in states finances = no resources for development, and so spiraling downward.
Blaming immigration, green-tech and fighting-succes (?!) is simply brainless vapor.
I'm not a defender of mass immigration- in fact I find all arguments in favour of it (or just fatalistic about it) to be naive or well-intentioned non sequiturs.
Yet, I don't see how it is contributing to the decline of Europe, which is entirely endogenous- a product of Europe's fragmented history and culture. The only real macro impact of mass immigration is, for the time being, the discontent and slide towards populism that it fosters. But I'd be curious to hear what makes it one of the great problems of Europe now according to the author- the article doesn't even try to explain it.
I do not think it is fragmented culture either. There is no clear patter of bigger being better. I think it is complacency, bad government, and a decline in efficiency. I do agree it is endogenous.
Throw into that same fire also every Russian psyop attempt at destabilizing the West. Such as every alt-right/nu-right political party that sprang up over the last 30 years in Europe, brexit, QAnon, climate change denialism, Trump and all of MAGA, anti-vax, etc etc etc.
I suspect that DHH is not so willing to meet at the center. He might be a great software/business leader, but politically he's just another whiner who at best will achieve nothing and at worst will be another Elon Musk.
But how, exactly? Their political weight, at the moment, is negligible. Their economic impact is probably neutral to positive (workers for the economy). They do foster a discontent that expresses itself in vote for right-wing, populist parties- and this is indeed destabilising but not the direct fault of immigration, rather of our reaction to it.

The author wants to blame immigrants.

I could agree with his title, but not with any of his chosen cows.
Its been clear what he is politically since his "London is not white enough" post. He has only got worse since

You sure it's not the hordes of people coming in that aren't partly responsible for the destabilizing?
