I don’t think that’s just unique to the West. I think most countries, wherever they be, view immigrants from their own perspectives. I think that’s just human nature.
Ulrike Meinhof in West Germany in the 70’s. Member of the Baader-Meinhof and probably the most famous female terrorist.I think in Europe maybe but in Russia, Africa and parts of Asia there have been female terrorists. I believe they are called ‘black widows’. Or at least that’s what they are called in Chechnya.
You are absolutely right. However, I do believe that thanks to recent historical dominance, outflow of media and culture, the rest of the world has a better grip on the West than the West does on what makes the rest of the world tick.
Mass immigration is a big societal problem for Europe, but I don’t believe it’s going to stop because there’s no political will or ability.
Unfortunately, I think you are right.I think it will eventually lead to right wing governments seizing power across Europe.
I’d rather that than the disaster of the left wing power if I’m honest. It’s now becoming totally unsustainable. Also tired of hearing that immigrants contribute so much. Maybe at one time but I’m not seeing it now. Thousands of homeless and tents all over the place. What a cesspit it’s all becomingI think it will eventually lead to right wing governments seizing power across Europe.
Far right. for me, is synonymous with violence, and the tolerance for the death (literal or metaphoric) of the 'opponent', whoever that may be. Right wing governments expect you to respect the police; the far right will attack them. They will attempt to dismantle justice systems. They will kill you (or your institutions) in whole or in part. They will try to suppress you. They don't care for fairness, or the rule of law. The ends (ie their supremacy) justify the means."Far right" has almost lost all meaning as far as I'm concerned. It's just become something people seem to call someone who doesn't agree with their world view exactly in every way?
People don't look at the bigger picture, imo. No one wants to leave their country, their home, their family - least of all to end up a migrant living in a tent or making a dangerous journey for asylum. Imperialism is an ouroboros of making other countries poor / unliveable / generally hostile environments, and then blaming the people affected for *having* to flee. Climate change is making it worse, as is the arms trade, through which the billionaires make their billions.I also believe our immigration has to be controlled and 'cherry-picked' so that that system works, and integration needs to be an integral part of any immigration.
Why's 1.4 bn people going to flee India?
Anyone who works in the public sector and local government knows that current levels of immigration are unsustainable because we don't have the infrastructure or housing stock available.I don't care what excuses they make for him. He is a murderous, wicked bastard. These particular muslims trying to blame his mental health are worried that the tide is turning against uncontrolled immigration. They should be - people in the west are sick of welcoming those from a different culture, only to have the immigrants do their best to undermine the laws and culture of the country the enter, making no attempt to integrate - on the contrary, living by their own country of origin's laws which are often diametrically opposed to those of the west.
No country can sustain this sort in rapid increase in population even at the best of times. The economy and infrastructure can't cope with it, even if every one of them was a genuine refugee looking for a decent life.
