In the famous 2007 neo-western crime thriller directed by the Coen brothers, the not-so-young sheriff, magnificently played by Tommy Lee Jones, is warned by his cousin: “This country’s hard on people. You can’t stop what’s coming. It ain’t all waiting on you.” The Cohens’ film is No Country for Old Men, so why have I paraphrased this title to write about the situation of young people in Europe’s democracies?
