Catastrophic events that led to the downfall of civilisations happened many times.

Granted Arnold Toynbee's famous truism that civilisations die from suicide not murder, the western world's total implosion is too weird to be entirely plausible. In England and Wales, the percentage of births that are "white British" has fallen from 66 per cent in 2010 to 62 per cent in 2015 to 59 per cent in 2020 to 54 per cent in 2024. This is the year, it seems too obvious to say, that it will fall below fifty per cent. America is already there:

A major demographic shift is underway in the United States.

White births in the country have fallen below 50% for the first time ever.

This is an odd thing to happen to any society absent conquest or plague. And yet it is not reported as such, even when it is reported at all. Instead, it is presented as a natural phenomenon, along with other recently discovered natural phenomena such as gang-rape, machete rampages and Somali annexation of the daycare sector.

This is, from the perspective of, say, 1950, such an improbable development that someone must have consciously implemented it. If one were to parachute onto the right private island and kick the door down, there would be the Spectre board meeting with Blofeld stroking his cat as Number Two announces that his scientists have created the lethal catchphrase "Diversity is our strength"
....
In Hamburg, a South Sudanese man decides to throw himself under a subway train, but, to add to the gaiety of the scene, pulls an eighteen-year-old young lady down with him. In Amsterdam, "Mohamed H" attempts a combined murder-rape, pulling off the knickers of a twenty-year-old woman while strangling her and telling her "You will die tonight", but the Hon Judge Eikel (I hope I got that right) is not persuaded that the chokehold was "strong/long enough" to kill the victim, prompting her to storm out of court in despair. A stone's throw from Windsor Castle, Chaudhry Zaman seizes a twelve-year-old girl to have his way with her, but is spared gaol by a kindly judge, Amjad Nawaz.

On and on and on, day after day after day... Is the future "just happening"? Or is there a "powerful group of people" making it happen?
...

Which leads to the obvious question: is it likely that every developed nation west of the Iron Curtain simultaneously decided that "diversity is our strength"? If not, how exactly does that "just happen"?
