Exodus of middle-class Dutch from the Netherlands

When I called for the countries of Europe to commence a net out-migration, I meant a net out-migration of Moslems. What’s happening instead is that white middle-class Dutch are leaving the country in droves, in order to escape the multicultural experiment that has ruined the Dutch way of life. Forgive me for asking, folks, but when you began importing Moslems en masse into your tiny, crowded country, what did you think would happen? Why do liberals only learn from actual disaster, never from forethought? But I’ve mis-phrased the question. The Dutch haven’t learned from disaster, as that would imply having a principled opposition to their own liberalism , they are only fleeing the disaster.
