Just because some feeble conservative opposition is allowed to march peacefully, just because the German Flag is not yet banned as hateful, does not mean that anything will reverse.
Their flag was banned, along with connected symbols and even hand gestures. Don't worry, the U.S. will be there within 5-10 years anyway.
I'm aware much of the readership here holds a pessimistic worldview and perhaps even hopes for a collapse in the West, but there's little evidence suggesting our fate is sealed. History is brimming with examples of Europe rising from the ashes in the shittiest of situations, while there are no examples of Europe ever being fully conquered by invading foreigners. I don't think your opinion takes into account:
1. The establishment (government, the wealthy, corporations) benefits from the status quo, not from unrest and change. Protests and demonstrations lead to shifts in political power, and with enough pressure, can lead to revolts, riots, and revolutions. No country or system on earth is invincible, and the establishment will quickly shift gears if threatened.
2. Demographic trends (which most of the doom and gloom seems to be based on) don't take into account the possibility of change. Birth rates will not continue on an infinite trajectory. What happens if EU governments start offering to pay immigrants to return (a very real possibility in the Netherlands), or when home countries are more attractive than Europe?
3. If unrest grows, the wealthy and educated Muslims will return to their home countries. The Jewish population in France is a perfect example of repatriation due to fear. Shaming and violence by natives (e.g. mosque burning) will cause others to leave. Even in less dramatic circumstances, demand to enter Europe will likely decrease.
4. Political parties and nationalist/identitarian groups are sprouting up all over Europe and gaining power. Multiculturalism was abandoned by Holland several years ago, Hungary decided to stop accepting refugees, etc. Small steps, but with very tangible results.
We live in peace and prosperity, it's all we know. We've been taught from birth our system - along with "human rights" and government policies - are permanent and invincible. History proves the opposite. As long as there are Europeans on earth with breath in their lungs, the game is not over.
