But there are valid reasons to be skeptical about immigration. Study upon study has proven that immigration lowers the wages and privileges of blue collar workers and while college-educated folk might not care the livelihoods of small town families depends on at least SOME restriction to immigration
Sure immigration will always be a 50/50 but my main thing was that people only ever mention people of color or minorities on the facts of why immigration is bad but let it be a white European country like Germans moving to Ireland or The UK nobody would bat an eye they wouldn’t care because ideally they are all the same complexion which is white
Yes and restrictions are totally fine like I said in my post you can want to preserve your culture and want respect for it but those who are not in support for immigrant their main points are always about minorities which is why what they really mean is as long as you are from another white or European nation it’s okay but if you are a person of color we want restrictions and being held at borders and being turned away
Yes and that’s totally fine there are actually many European countries who put a stricter immigration policy like Poland and Sweden(they had one for years and their minority population is about 1%-2%) and they are thriving but of course they don’t any immigration progressions so they are behind in some things that for example the US probably thrives in
But they are also aren’t allowing themselves to bond with other cultures which makes them more stuck in a isolated box, for example Asian countries don’t have a black population but when black people started going over there they were shocked another race existed outside of white and that’s the isolation most of these people want
And also take FIFA for example racism was at an all time high! Paraguay doesn’t have a huge minority population and they treated people of color like shit! But that’s what happens when you isolate yourself from other races or take Argentina for example they are know for racism against people of color it’s sad but they also don’t have a huge minority population so it’s just extreme isolation of other cultures and realities
If countries would stop seeing immigration as such a terrible thing to the world maybe racism and sexism and other things could slowly become less and less but that’s why European and Asian countries are the most racist compared to the US where we have multiple cultures and we adapt and learn
I’ve seen situations where a village of 160 is overwhelmed by 1000+ immigrants, and considering that they really only have one native homeland. And considering the amount of targeting against British ethnic girls, and decreasing population, it’s not like they’re entirely stable. Also, the blue macaw is not a species, but a group of species/ethnicities which have that similar blue plumage. Like Europeans.
Ethnicity is a term referring to a social/cultural subgroups within the human species. Birds do not have ‘ethnicity’ in any respect resembling humans. Just say you got conned into believing in the great replacement at this point. it’s the only way your argument functions, and it’s demonstrably false.
Are you saying birds aren’t social? As if they don’t have their own form of communication, not as sophisticated as ours but regardless still present. Also, I literally said nothing about GRT. Just observing what’s going on. You didn’t really disagree with me you just said “it’s not that bad” essentially, so do you have a cutoff point where it would hypothetically get bad enough for you?
I’ve not made a single point stating that anything ‘isn’t that bad’. you’ve offered unsourced anecdotes and reasoning that can only function if GRT is taken as fact. the ‘noticer’ line won’t get you off here. I’m arguing that you’re drawing a completely inapt comparison because ecological preservation based on taxonomy is not comparable to the maintenance of an ethnostate. I also never said that birds weren’t social, but that ethnicity is a much more complicated thing than pigmentation/plumage.
We do make an effort to conserve separate subspecies or individual endangered populations. I in fact am heavily in favor of the conservation of endangered cultures. The endangered cultures in Europe are threatened by assimilation into the dominant ethnicities of their countries. The dominant ethnicities are not the ones under threat. If anything the only threat immigrants present to a group like the Occitans is that when they assimilate they will adopt the dominant French culture
I’ve lived in the UK for the past 10 months now, in a city that has been the site of many of the white nationalist riots, and I can assure you basically everybody speaks english here. On the flags, they get torn down because they are used as a symbol of something deeply racist and antithetical to the UK as a nation. Was the swastika a symbol of peace in the 1930s?
Really comparing the swastika to the British Flag. So if you hang the British flag are you a racist? Did they just adopt that flag with Starmer or? Do you mean the riots where people protest or are you talking about the stuff similar to some of the Irish response to a man getting mutilated. Funny you say white nationalist riots, they definitely gained popularity after the various displays of systemic injustice, unless it’s wrong to point that out.
brother, you need to look into what the british empire did to the welsh people and their language. Wales was independent, had their own language, and had self governing kingdoms and princedoms with their own laws, before the british colonized them and attempted to exterminate the welsh language.
Yes it literally did. Explicit policy gave police to be skeptical about the word of the white man. That wound may not have been mortal, had he not be dragged around and opened further, so says actual medical experts. They could’ve taken care of the guy instead of calling him a liar for saying he can’t breathe. We all saw the footage. Was the race and religious targeting of ethnic British girls not racial when the system helped them be groomed and taken?
dude the welsh language is effectively endangered as a direct result of british colonialism and imperialism. you claim to care about the preservation of white ethnicities, do the welsh not count to you? or does preservation of ethnicity only matter to you when it justifies racism and xenophobia?
Well they could have believed him, and they could’ve not dragged him. Their policy was still racist. How would you like where he was and be told that he’s a liar and be cuffed up instead of examined until it’s too late. That whole situation wouldn’t have happened had the policy that allowed Digwa to abuse the system not existed, although it seems the system worked just fine then didn’t it?
Digwa was sentenced to prison time for murdering Nowak. I’m literally a student at the University of Southampton. Nowak’s parents and family have condemned racial agitation related to their son’s murder. Sincerely, stop trying to spew bullshit about a tragedy that has affected my university and community. The narrative that has been pushed about this tragedy by Farage and reform is extremely misleading, and a single anecdote doesn’t make a tsunami. Fuck off, racist.
oh wow, because they retired from policing their word is suddenly reliable? Information can exist through other forms than direct testimony. Statistical analysis, for example allows us much more insight into the direct effects of policy than personal opinion about cause and effect.
that’s an ideology, not a culture. Gee I wonder what happens when an island nation receives a constant stream of individuals whose cultures conflict either morally or ethically and, having generally a higher population, express their cultures while the native one is put on back burn because diversity and hospitality and trust. Sound familiar?
your argument here relies on the person experiencing these things to accurately determine the root cause, which is notoriously difficult with systemic effects. Testimony is great insight into what’s happening factually speaking, it’s piss poor for determining why on a systemic level.
like why social care workers will directly lead a young girl into a car full of strangers that groom her with cigarettes and gifts and then use her? Or why healthcare workers will send them away with birth control when they have obvious abuse injuries. Or how the leading party had access to what was happening and still did nothing? Again look at the inquiry report and read through those testimonies, there is section on Islam and possible motivations.
well you can only know for sure by looking at it. Also, you seemed to get the other sources pretty easily so this shouldn’t be difficult. I literally just looked up the title and found the square space link. Provenance doesn’t matter as long as what is being said is supported which there are citations. That’s the difference between judging the contents as opposed to the appearance. The citations are from what you would consider higher provenance anyways.
provenance absolutely fucking matters, unless you are manually checking every single reference in the document. When I read a document on a .gov.uk site, I probably don’t need to verify that the citations actually support the claims being attributed to them, because the official government sources are reliable. There’s nothing stopping me from putting a citation to that demographic data in a paper, and then claiming that the white population has increased, even though that would be false.
because that has to do with the cultural crisis and the many government corruptions going on as I’ve espoused. It’s not like immigrants are intentionally decreasing some other population, that’s just what policy has led to. It would be more so that a non-integrating population would be overpowering a native one, which would project to happen, just not now, unless there are greater privileges given to them than to native, which offsets that.
if it has to do with behavior and culture that is something that must be fixed. You shouldn’t rely on foreigners for your economy, that’s unhealthy. Also, economics is really a small part of an entire country. Without an identity, it would all mean nothing. So, have you decided to dip your toe and falsify the square space document?
do you realize how much worse the UK’s economy would be without immigration? The economic state of a nation is not a fucking ‘small part of an entire country’ it is a major determining factor of the day to day experience of a country’s citizens and near-directly dictates cost of living and affordability.
it’s not about individual tasks or skills, it’s about numbers, you dipshit. If you offer visas to highly skilled workers from other countries you can increase the total number of highly skilled workers within the country, which increases GDP and GDP per capita, which leads to a stronger economy. The argument is not that Britain has some massive need that can’t be met with domestic labor, but that the inclusion of immigrants in the labor force results in more prosperity than purely domestic labor
So you’re seriously using “they make us more money”? What if they automated? The economy isn’t particularly exceptional. And since there is a majority of native population as of now, there’s more than enough domestic workforce to learn and be incentivized to get into some work. Sure they might take a hit now, but it’s not impossible to recover. Won’t be as hard a hit as the US South. That’s not a very secure economy if it relies on the exporting countries to continue.
there is no significant threat to demographic security in britain. I don’t have a problem with the occurrence of demographic security, it’s the racist and xenophobic policies and actions that demographic security is being used as justification for, despite it not being under genuine threat.
Sorry I’m taking summer classes and I work so I’ve been busy but yes #5 basically summed up what I was talking about I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with not liking immigration because it’s not perfect but the majority of peoples arguments tend to be more race based on immigration which is why I say they hate immigration for minorities not other Europeans or white people.
Why has every argument against it been that it isn’t happening, or to call attention to completely different matters, or to accept that it is happening but justify it with “oh but the British were colonizers” or some historical action as if that justifies what is essentially colonization?
Immigration isn’t a terrible thing it literally helps economies and genuinely the US gets a bad rep but they deal with immigration and diversity very well vs Asian countries and European counties! Europe is in a crisis because 1. They don’t know how to take on diversity they don’t know how to handle or make laws that are needed for people of color 2. They want progression but also want to keep to themselves! Which the UK is good for branching out but they don’t know how
Nobody is dismissing anything but the British heritage and the British history isn’t going anywhere😭 literally British people are still having babies and their birth rate is on a incline compared to the US so I believe the UK will be alright a whole civilization isn’t going to disappear because of immigration if that was the case then the US should be a shit show and everyone should close their borders
Wdym by the sources I found they are below the rebound line. It’s like 1.5 babies per couple; that’s really bad. Perhaps I didn’t explain a whole lot more, but some of the policies of the UK government also flat out suppress aspects of the native culture as expense for incoming ones, and that also is impactful.
Like I said it’s fine to be against immigration that’s your own opinion, but most immigration arguments are always and always about how they should preserve white nationalism and stricter border laws for minorities! Which is racism, it’s one thing to be worried about how it effects jobs and money, and travel and etc but it’s always usually about race because if an Irish person moved to the UK it’s fine but let a Nigerian and it’s hell
I said they are better than the US birth rate but look at my last comment on the reasons why the UK is struggling a lot of European and Asian countries don’t know how to make laws or policies for minorities or people of color because they don’t know how to deal with those types of struggles which is why their government is a bit in shambles but that doesn’t excuse that immigration is good because it’s a good thing it’s progression and evolution
For example, British and St. George’s flags are regularly taken down. In fact their own St. George’s day itself was essential cancelled which is an important holiday for them. Their system seems also to be less lenient towards natives than others, and there have been instances such as Anne Boleyn and Sir Isaac Newton, historical heritage, who were appropriated to a different race (African) unapologetically by their film industry.
Compare Sweden who’s majority of the population is white(Swedish) who’s immigration policy is strict and barely lets anyone move there unless you have European or Swedish ancestry vs the US where we have multiple cultures and laws that protect people to color and minorities and we are a melting pot! There are things the Swedish do better than the US but then there are things the US does better than the Swedish because we have that diversity factor behind us which comes from immigration
I’m telling you they just let everything go in one ear and out the other 🤷♀️ because I just explained like 20 times why the UK struggles but also why immigration isn’t the end of the world but clearly he is the reason why I say those who are against immigration are against minorities immigration
You are just ignorant because I just again explained the reasons why the UK is struggling because they clearly don’t know how to create laws or policies for minorities yet you keep going back and forth without acknowledgment that you understand my side? So you are prejudice against minorities because that’s been your whole argument that you want to persevere white nationalism and that’s cool but clearly countries don’t believe in that because they still let immigration happen
That was a hypothetical in response to the hypothetical about the one Nigerian. I was just showing how the problem would occur and how it isn’t just an argument of one Nigerien = raise hell. Here is a real example of a surplus, though not as extreme https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2034319/irish-village-arms-migrants-being/amp and look up the small county of Lisdoonvarna and how they took up Ukrainians
I never said any sort of racism. Look at Brent, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, and Newham which have a majority non-native population, most of those are Middle East population, and also all in London which is a hub for the trafficking, which you would know about if you actually contended with the source I gave you. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6810978a41bbc42489eafa81/t/6a314bb1151e511944bd4421/1781615537601/The+Rape+Gang+Inquiry+Report.pdf
read the inquiry, I’m not breaking down 200+ pages for you. Did you know that blond hair is seen as belonging to witches in Islam, and how their age of consent and treatment of women works, especially non-Muslims and how that conflicts with European ideals. If you won’t contend with the source I give you, that you ask for and then deny I did, I have no choice but to believe you acting in bad faith. There is a whole Islam section. Go to page 116.
Thats just completely wrong lmao. What makes a statistical sample in error is based on its sample size in relation to the total population of its sampled population, not just flatly the size of the sample. Also, if by policy such cases that I provided do happen, it can apply to any small town or county. And when you think that way, it changes a lot.
You are the racist. You are the colonist. You are the problem. What right does a native have to be overwhelmed by people who are not willing to respect the host, and who strip power. You say “move” but then where will they go, somewhere else where they are alien in their own land? If you support this you support the colonization of the New World, because it is the same thing. They did move away, you know, but eventually there was no where to go.
#5 I don’t even think it’s worth fighting anymore 😭 #6 is just ignorant and proves my post right they won’t listen to reason and admit faults and truly believe in the UK British heritage! Genuinely they should move to the UK and run for government so they can fix the white nationalism 😭
that is not slippery slope. slippery slope is about a chain of events, “if we x then y, which will cause z” and it’s only a fallacy when the causal link can’t be justified. This is a reasonable inference about the intention and credibility of the authors based on the bias demonstrated. It doesn’t cover everything, the survivor testimonials are still credible, but the conclusions about Islam are void because the way Islam was identified was flawed.
right but the report states that an overwhelming 87% of those responsible do the trafficking were Pakistani Muslims. It follows that their behavior can be traced to their culture and those things that they are normalized to or believe is correct. Testimonies suggest Muslim influence, and Islam section shows where specifically it can come from.
care to elaborate? These are just answers to the questions of “why does this particular demographic from this region contribute this much to trafficking? (87% Pakistani) What are the actions being taken (racial/religious targeting) and why? (possible Islamic motivations through testimony of words given by actual traffickers)”
It’s circular reasoning dumbass. you determine that all these people are muslim based on their names, then look for an explanation of why islam explains the behavior, and then that’s evidence that they’re muslim. it’s the dog wagging the tail, and a bunch of confirmation bias. jesus fucking christ you’re dense.
You act as if using names is inconsistent. And there’s nothing illogical to raise questions when a pattern emerges in both the victim and victimizers. Nobody is using “Islam explains behavior” to self-justify that they are Muslim. It’s already predetermined before that they are Muslim. I have no idea where you are mixing all of this up lol. I mean if you come from a Muslim-ruled region and your name is of Islamic origin…. They obviously didn’t use names to determine Pakistani demographics.
You’re actually dense. I’m talking about the investigative process and how this compromises the integrity of the report. You cannot justify using an unreliable method to ‘detect’ muslims, based on the explanation for Islam as the cause, which relies on the proportion of muslim perpetrators.
I mean sorry that the array of data and testimony help each other out. Obviously if you are making such an argument you would want to use a range of data types. The demographic data shows the implicated demographic, the testimony shows the specific patterns and witnesses to such events, the rest gets into offending patterns and possible suggestions as to why using what was established in the data before. Pretty straight
It never said “all Muslims”, it’s specifically addressing the cases of what is going on in the UK. Theorycrafting but forget the testimonies about being called kafar or being taken to other countries to be subjected to Muslim matrimony, and literally everything else. I really don’t care what you call it. If it’s true it’s true 🤷
