Brussels Bureaucrats Ably Visualize the EU’s Decline

[Dragoon]

The European Commission’s in-house think tank has produced an interesting report on “European common goods” which has a wealth of infographics highlighting the various ways the European Union is declining: the rise China, the rise of euroskeptic populism, weak militaries, poor quality migrants, and weakness on R&D and tech. The paper is worthy of Signal, both in terms of striking visuals and fluffy bureaucratese (which you can read only if you wish to have direct insight into globalists’ minds).

The report’s authors speak of the “polycrisis” (financial, debt, and migrant crises), “megatrends,” and supposed “reinvention” the EU has experienced in recent years . . . but really the document is very frank in highlighting the downward slope Europe is facing. Say what you want about the Eurocrats, they are acutely aware of many of our continent’s problems, even if their supposed solutions are often highly questionable. The infographics follow, with the occasional quote and commentary.

Rise of China

The report notes that “standard-setting power threatens to shift towards Asia, along with economic prowess and technological leadership.” What’s more, partners who have traditionally looked to the EU – namely Africa and the western Balkans – “are diversifying their partnerships” throw growing ties with China, India, and/or Russia.

Military

The EU’s defense capabilities have taken a huge hit with Britain’s departure, leaving France as the only country left with semi-serious power-projection capability.

Energy

On energy, Europe has decoupled economic growth from carbon emissions: GDP per capita has resumed growth, even as emissions are overall declining. However, so far Europe has not led the clean energy industrial revolution, which perhaps make sense given her post-industrial services economy.

...

Tech

Winner-take-all is winner-take-all…

In theory, the EU has the scale to produce its own homegrown tech giants. In practice, despite the removal of legal trade barriers between states, the nations continue to be the real markets that one wins or loses and none of them is big enough to rival the United States or China. That’s statal-linguistic memetics for you. However, if the EU were to become fully protectionist on digital matters, there’s no doubt we could achieve digital sovereignty.

Migration

And now the most disastrous area: migration. As the report notes, the EU is increasingly:

Suffering from brain-drain to the Anglosphere
Failing to attract high-quality migrants
Attracting low-quality and “non-economic” migrants.

Every nation/empire that relies solely on Migration is already dead.

WTF? I know you can't hear anything negative about your precious EU but Unz is great and that's a shitty leftist 'fact-checking' website that solely exists to blacklist right-wing and pro-white media.

Actually - this same fact checker also regularly takes out leftist sources for being heavily biased. I would consider Unz to be an example of propaganda. Plus: it's also foreign propaganda.
