What the hell is this argument. DO you even understand that the vast majority of this "new workforce" are either:

a) Illiterate
b) Uneducated
c) Unwilling to integrate
d) Don't speak the language
e) Utterly disrespect the local customs and traditions
f) Breed like rabbits
g) All of the above

They don't and mostly can't qualify as workers in nearly any imaginable field. They can't even be janitors or work at a McD, goddamn.

Then they get free housing, welfare, handouts and paychecks PER KID (with their 7 wives) and you think they want to give this up? You think this somehow boosts the economy? HOW??? LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE IS HAPPENING YOU DUMB FUCK.

Jesus fucking christ, if that was bait, I took it hard.

>Is this why people get more conservative as they age and accumulate more wealth?

You answered it pretty succinctly yourself. You may also eventually come to develop a distaste for all things that leech on welfare, from fatherless black families with single moms to immigrants and trailer trash etc.

It's not that you hate these people, or are in any way racist (and whatever other buzzwords lefties might try to impose), it's just that you see the inefficiency and wastefulness of the systems propping these people up for no discernible benefits, both short or long term. Why? Why because it is your taxpayer dollar that funds it all.

Immigration is not the sole reason behind the decline of western civilizations. It's generations of never before seen peace, prosperity, welfare and progress in all schools of science and industry leading to the degradation of the entire western noosphere into a quagmire of social and cultural upheaval, dependence, weakness, decadence. Western people are well on their way to losing a grounded grasp on the world around them, much of which is not as peaceful, forgiving or friendly as we have become. Youth are losing the capacity for apprehension that would remind them of dangers lurking just outside the gates (and within human nature). As history has shown, civilizations rise and fall due to no other reason than the foundation they are built on crumbling. This foundation is the people.

Hard times breed strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. Weak people create hard times.

Mass immigration from culturally incompatible and outright aggressive cultures is just a symptom.

Ah, I forgot the non-Western rich folks.

Dunno, a lot of their behavioral quirks are products of their culture. Chinks tend to be highly hierarchical in both social and professional settings, which is kind of conducive to raw productivity, but deleterious and highly draining for the underlings/employees/lower classes of society, who are often openly treated with derision and spite for merely being lower class. Consequently, their rich people have a higher tendency to turn out absolute shitlords with colossal egos/attitudes with not much stopping them from outright abusing/harming lower classes should they so desire because their respective place in the hierarchy affords them the leeway.

The children of Chinese elite/upper classes who have never known hardship/humility grow up inhumane monsters if the parents let them, and it's not unheard of for them to just roadkill pedestrians out of boredom or whatever. Hell, ordinary chinks double tap pedestrians they hit by accident anyway to avoid the Good Samaritan syndrome that grips their society so roadkilling another of the innumerable masses doesn't even register apparently.

I imagine it's far worse in the Middle East. Saudi princes and their own kids have more oil money behind them since birth that it literally means nothing for them. Hence the ridiculously over the top diamond and gold plated lambos, the giant mansions, the super degen orgies and parties, the best and highest quality foods and banquets etc. These people can and will get away with whatever they want that remains within their little desert kingdoms and they could probably step on the toes of quite a few people in other countries because the hush money game is *strong*.

I feel your pain, breda. I couldn't muster the balls to pull the trigger at the top, and I legit WAS about to sell at the top around Jan 13. Down 50%+ atm, so it sitngs, but you only lose if you sell. The coming years may as well see my investments die too. Again, only time will tell who will be left in the end.
