There are two reasons. The first is that just about everyone is white, with a homogeneous culture.
The second is that just about everyone is middle-class. In the U.S. the wealthy are overwhelmingly parasites who have used government to suck wealth from everyone else, and as for the poor, they have plenty of money for alcohol and drugs and big-screen TVs...as long as someone else pays for it.
The middle-class is the zenith of Western civilization. When it goes we all go, rich and poor alike.
By the way, when you look at just the white homicide rate in the U.S. by firearms, it's lower than Holland's.

Small and white.
A place like Iceland is really just a big family house.
I know people who've fled here from Aleppo, Syria. They were middle class. Christians, descended from the old Greek Byzantines.
That's what they said Aleppo was like. Nobody paid taxes. You went out for dinner and drinks almost every night. You waved and said hello to every other person you saw. That's exactly the words they used: like living in a big family house.
But, no middle class.
You are 100% correct. When the bourgeois disappear, the country is done.
Another good one. Reblogged and quibcagged:
