Geo-Strategy Update #8: Why the West is Doomed
The Western world is facing unprecedented levels of immigration, inflation, and economic malaise.
Professor Jiang argues that these are symptoms. The real disease is the selfishness and hubris of the Baby Boomers, who are the most powerful demographic in the West. They want to maintain their pension, their free healthcare, and their property values -- even if that means burning the world down.

Good morning YouTube
So I know that
you flock this channel because I am such a sunny and optimistic person.
I bring cheer in a world of gloom.
You may face some difficulties in your life, but you know that when you watch my videos
I'm gonna tell you how great the world is.
Unfortunately, today
it's all going to be doom and gloom. I'm going to talk about how the Western
world is going to collapse and there's nothing entering
can do about it. So let me start with a concrete example. I live in Canada and
these past few years I've just seen Canadian society get worse and worse. A lot
of the issue is this relentless immigration these past five years.
Millions of people have come into this country seeking a better life.
Unfortunately, they can't create in only a few cities where there are economic
opportunities and as a result housing prices have gone up, inflation has gone
up, cost of living has gone up, but wages have been stagnant or depressed because
of the surge in cheap labor. And in Toronto, if you're not making at least
hundred thousand dollars a year, it's very hard to get by and quite frankly
most are not making that kind of money and most are struggling. So crime has
gone up, homelessness has gone up.
work together, to innovate, to be resilient, to be cohesive as a society.
Right now, a quarter, 25% of Canadians are foreign-born, first-generation
immigrants like myself. So if there were ever a referendum and
Canadians could choose whether or not to join the United States voluntarily, most
of these immigrants would immediately say let's join the United States because
there are more economic opportunities. So in the long term I don't see Canada
staying together. I think Canada will ultimately be dismembered by the United
States and be absorbed into the American Empire in the next 20-30 years. I don't
think Canada right now can be a sustainable nation. Now it's really easy
to blame immigrants for all this and most Canadians do in fact blame
immigrants because
The American empire, when it needs, can always draw on the infinite resources of Canada.
And so, because of its lack of ambition, there are two main drivers of the Canadian economy.
The first, as I said, is resource exportation, but sustainable limited resource exportation.
But the main driver of the Canadian economy is immigration.
Canada allows rich, corrupt families to come to Canada to hide their wealth.
Canada also welcomes cheap labor, poor immigrants like my father, to come to
Canada to do all the work so that Canadians can enjoy their life on
drinking beer, drinking Molson's, a terrible beer by the way, by the cottage.
And because of this economic framework, three major religions have developed in Canada to sustain this economic framework.
The first religion is environmentalism. So Canadians love the environment. They believe it is their duty.
you can't exploit resources because of your religion
of environmentalism.
You can't encourage entrepreneurship
because of your religion of aircraft taxism, right?
You don't want to reduce the regulatory state.
You don't want to promote individual initiative.
So the only solution available to you is mass immigration.
Okay?
And again, a lot of it is just driven by the baby boomers.
