DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH: 10,000 Millionaires Flee France.

French millionaires fled the country in droves in 2016 in an attempt to escape taxes and terror, a new study shows. . . .

As we have noted before, polls have shown that about 50% of all French people 18-34 years old, not just the millionaires and billionaires, would leave France if they could for another country. Meanwhile, at the low extreme of the wealth scale, the migrants of Africa huddled in containers and lean-tos in Calais (until they were recently removed) in hopes of getting to England, rather than accept long-term residence in France. From top to bottom, the desire to get out is, it would seem, widespread.

And it is notable that for those with means—the millionaires cited in this study—Anglosphere nations top the list of destinations.

Thought the Anglosphere has plenty of leftists trying to ruin things here, too.

This is nothing short of a cry for help. Blue model rot, deeply set in across Europe, is pervasive in France. When semi-literate refugees and the well-heeled and well-educated alike are scrambling to get out in these numbers, something is deeply wrong. And as France, for all the occasional lovers quarrels, is a deeply important ally to the U.S., we need to notice and be concerned.

Meanwhile, it’s a sign of health for the Anglosphere (and for Israel) that it continues to draw people from all over the world in search of a better life—even if the one they have is already pretty good. For all our troubles, English-speaking countries in the common-law tradition continue to be better situated than any others to meet the trials of the 21st century.

The thing is, the “Blue Model” may be rotting, but it offers more opportunities for graft and self-importance than the traditional Anglosphere approach. Which explains both the rot, and the rot’s popularity among the rotten sectors of American politics.
