The West spent centuries looting the world, blowing up states, and sucking talent in. Now that the bill is arriving, suddenly "mass immigration was always a scam."
The way you frame this hides where the real scam actually is.
The West spent centuries looting the world, blowing up states, and sucking talent in.
Now that the bill is arriving, suddenly "mass immigration was always a scam."
Who created half the refugees in the first place?
Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Latin America, Africa... those people did not wake up one day and say:
"Let me destabilize the West for fun."
They were running from wars, coups, sanctions, debt and climate chaos made in Washington, London, Paris and Brussels.
Mass immigration was not a plan to destabilize the West.
It was a side effect of the West destabilizing everyone else.
On top of that, your own elites loved it.
They wanted cheap labor with no power.
They wanted doctors and engineers trained in the Global South to plug gaps in their own aging societies.
They wanted migrants they could blame when the system started cracking.
Now that the social fabric is strained, the same class that opened the borders for profit points at the people at the bottom and screams "invasion."
China is different for a simple reason:
it did not spend the last 50 years carpet bombing half the planet, wrecking currencies, and then pretending to be shocked when people flee.
It did its industrialization at home, with its own population, under its own control.
So it does not need to dress up demographic panic as some moral drama about refugees.
Larry Fink saying "countries that avoided mass immigration will be better positioned" is not an anti-immigration epiphany.
It is a quiet confession:
The model where the West lives off imported labor, imported brains, and imported resources is breaking down.
Blaming refugees is the most cowardly way to avoid saying that out loud.
So no, mass immigration was not "a scam to destabilize the West."
The West destabilized itself by building an empire instead of a society.
Now it is angry that the edges of that empire are walking back through the front door.
