The more you write about this topic, the more I feel like Europe is going to turn into a sort of museum. It'll be a beautiful place to visit and experience the heights of premodern civilization.
That's what a friend of mine who lives in Mexico but is European says, that Europe is becoming a Boutique continent, you come to see museums, see sculptures, cathedrals, and all the great things of what was Western culture, but nothing more, since only the remains of a destroyed culture will remain.
I'm from Spain and can corroborate this.

Compared to the us we ARE a museum.

It is. I just hope it turns into a museum BEFORE it can turn into an authoritarian hellhole (which, to be clear, it already is to a large degree, and always has been - but that has been the case for any empire to a larger or lesser extent)...
