Anyway I'm not really commenting on the state of europe or whatever (not like 'europe' is one big homogeneous region, the norwegian sovereign wealth fund is gonna do just fine unless the 'impending collapse' is totally global), just correcting a wrong statement. You could've just said 'almost none' instead of 'not a single one' in bold and it'd be all fine and dandy. |
Just saw it from a tweet form an ok source and didn't fact check it, I don't think its relevant since its already the mainstream concept of both economies. |

of course because Venzuela's economic collapse has nothing to do with the socialist dictatorship you love, its because they aren't friends with the US. |

I don't think people understand how the 'collecting taxpayer money' in Europe works. Literally, nobody will give you money for free if you're an immigrant that doesn't attempt to participate in society.

so you think in germany, britain, france, sweden, if an immigrant or refugee can't find work they end up on the streets, or they get kicked right out, or...?
|
is that what i said? |
If that's what you said, I wouldn't have had to ask, would I have, you dense fucking clot
What you said has no meaning that's why I pushed you to confront what you're talking about
If by "attempt to participate in society" you mean "say you looked for a job" then yeah immigrants can do that, and also get welfare, which is money for free as if you don't work you can't pay taxes

Immigrants in EU are forced to take language classes and actively seek a job in order to get any kind of welfare. And the welfare they get is nowhere near one giving them a comfortable life, they barely get by. It's not like they come and receive a flat with 5k euro a month and can do whatever the fuck they want.
I can guarantee you that in Germany for every immigrant there is at least 1 Penner. Penners is the german word for somebody that doesn't want to study nor do anything other than live off welfare. They always have a fucking dog cause they used to receive 200euro/month for dogs and the only reason they receive welfare is because they hit the lottery of being a german-born citizen.
They have around 2million asylum seekers as part of the population - that's 2.5% of the country. They'll be just fine
Sweden has a lot of immigrants but almost all of them are highly educated and well needed for the economy. Their biggest issue is with the Eritreans, Somalis, Iraqis and Afganis. I couldn't find how many they are exactly, but around 250k have made it there in the past 4 decades, which again is nothing.
Media in the EU is using immigrants to split the population. There is no real problem with immigrants. Doesn't mean many situations shouldn't have been handled better and politicians are starting to suck immigrant dick, which annoys people though. There is a middle ground, no need to be an extremist policy-wise
I agree that the 'cultural' difference with Eritreans, Somalis and Afghanis are way too huge for them to be assimilated in European society any time soon. There are people that literally have no idea what a toilet is, it will take at least a few generations for them to be adequate members of society
That being said the majority of European countries have 10% to 30% of their population being of immigrant background, but born as natives. Yet media has still done a good job to make people hate them, majority despise immigrants. The ironic part is that 1st and 2nd generation immigrants are usually the ones that hate new immigrants the most. |

Diem25 is probably the best hope for Euro's atm. It's not heading in a good direction; just like the rest of the world. You can expect those worker rights to be eroded over time if people keep talking about immigrants instead of trying to make Europe into some kind of democratic system.
As for the parasites, Germany was the designated parasite country for Europe after ww2, that was largely how post ww2 planning was set up, in "the Grand Area". Europe was allowed to exploit Africa; as the US needed a strong export market. It's comically hypocritical for these rich European nations to be calling anyone but themselves parasites; particularly when you take into account ecological damages they cause to the rest of the world. |

Unlike when you said that Maduro wasn't a dictator and that he had a honest face and that Mรฉxico had the best president in the world, should we fact check these assertions? |

Agreed immigration is exploited by both sides, the paranoid right that fuels xenophobia and the left that refuses to acknowledge the challenges of assimilation etc. |

Immigration clearly is something a developed country like the US needs and is +EV in theory at least. In practice though there are clearly long term -EV considerations.
To me the problem is that people vote based on identity politics lines way too often. I remember in high-school a Korean dude was running for mayor of my town and all the Korean moms helped campaign /voted for that guy. My town has alot of Indians so there are alot of Indian candidates for school board, chamber of commerce, etc.
If people are going to act like this its incredibly stupid for whites to not be fearful of immigration... and whether you like it or not thats how alot of people currently do behave... I don't think its "paranoid" at all. |

so it's racial justice to import more penner that are of a variety of skin colors?
or are you surprised that citizens can get welfare from their own countries

what are you trying to say? there are 250,000 eritreans, somalis, iraqis, and afghans in sweden? and that's not a lot? in a country of 10 million?
let me use Math to explain why you're an idiot
and it's weird you're volunteering to be an idiot like this by bringing up all these subjects to show what a radical centrist you are when all i asked was explain how, what did you say? trying to participate in society? counts for free money
if 2.5% of your population comes from 4 countries, and for a thought experiment let's say that 2.5% are the only immigrants
if you continued this beautiful trend of loving tolerance and invited the same amount of immigrants from 152 other countries (there are 200 some odd on the planet) your country would be half immigrants, i.e. half not your country
intredasting
you can actively look for jobs all you fucking want, if you never get one or if the jobs don't actually exist for you it's not adding up, your apologism here. 2.5% of population being asylum seekers from countries halfway around the world with no cultural, language, or racial points of commonality. not immigrants. JUST ASYLUM SEEKERS lol

Always been funny to me of the anti-immigration policies in the US considering 99.9% of your population is immigrants. Your population density is also among the lowest in the world. I guess it somewhat makes sense culturally since the country was made by people that left everything behind while taking enormous risks to build it, so they made it hard for newcomers to 'join the party' unless they prove themselves

when i called you "psychic university drop out" you think there are real accredited psychic universities and i was accusing you of having paid tuition and dropped out of one, having never completed education past high school
and not that i was calling you an idiot for trying and failing to read my mind* because "fuck the immigrants" is something i've never said nor believe nor even a fitting caricature of what i believe
+ Show Spoiler +
*like a PSYCHIC would dumbass
what an embarrassingly simple thing for you to so horribly and publicly misunderstand
"I disagree with you, also can you explain X Y and Z because it seems wrong?"
"yOu'Re MiSsInG tHe PoInT"
the point: sign up now and you, too, can be a mere 0.1% of your own country within 400 years just like america. what's the big fuss.

the thing that I dont understand about Baal is how he calmly continues talking rationally with spitfiree even going as far as to say he is "intelligent" at one point (at least thats from what I remember).
anyway regarding your points obv santafairy is correct.
also "immigrants" is a large basket and I think the whole point is that there are different classes of immigrant.
trump has spoke highly of immigrants from countries like South Korea, Taiwan, India? IDK what else. You can also make the case that immigrants from European countries like Romania are better suited than other countries of similar economic level.
And its not just about that immigrant staying away from crimes and contributing to society, doing well financially etc. There is a growing trend among Asian immigrants to vote democrat and ruin the country with communism like that dumb Parasite director. As an Asian myself its my obligation as a good citizen to be favor of restricting immgration from these countries if this trend persists. That's not what most people do though, most people are emotional and throw hissy-fits like Loco.
...the sad truth is that alot of immigrants from for example Africa will vote Democrat/communists EVEN IF they succeed economically in the United States.
The guy might be "controversial" but I generally like Jared Taylor from American Renaissance's takes on alot of immigration stuff. He makes things easy to understand and doesn't shy away from anything that other people won't talk about because they are afraid of getting cancelled or being labeled as alt-right. I'm not really going into alot of his views on who has the superior intellect between races...I don't 100% agree with some of the stuff he says but alot of his points on just immigration in general is spot on.
ex. Japan and Mexico regulate their immigration laws but no one says anything about it because they aren't white. alot of points he brings up like that are 100% spot on. white people have a right to defend their rights. |

Succeeding financially is why you should vote left in general lmao
No opinion on that topic for the USA though cause you are given an illusion of voting power, while legal corruption aka lobbyism is there and both parties end up doing the same shit. I'm baffled that you guys haven't shot up the entire Washington DC regardless of their party affiliation |
