Your gonna have an angry mob of immigrants and people who lost their jobs due to the cheap Immigrant workforce

If you are a grown adult not living with your parents in a suburb and have a white collar job, chances are you will be working in a city, thus living and working around poor people. But of course, you live with your parents and do not have a job.

Absolutely retarded take. The way to beat China is exiling those that help them, closing the Persian Gulf, banning the import of Chinese goods, sanctioning nations that accept Chines goods, and sinking Chinese trade vessels with our Navy.

>>16207342

Apply this to white people and asians/jews. It's ok, I'd rather be "inferior" and successful, than "superior" and die in a rut like white people today.

This is the terrifying thing about the author's logic, which should be rejected by both right and left. They argue that the borders should be open, but that civic rights should not be extended to immigrants - essentially creating a serf class in the 21st century.

It's a deranged and evil text made more unnerving by the jolly illustrations. At least the Tsar just told you he was God's annointed and tried to intimidate you into submission, rather than inflicting this twee shit upon us.

>>16207479
So they want to be dependent on some other third-world shithole? If it didn't work the first time, then what makes them think it will work a second time?
>>16207484
1. Elites don't want to pay the upfront costs of fully automating their industries
2. They don't want UBI either, because inevitably that would mean taxing them more to support an unproductive population

The difference would never close the gap.

Western workers already struggle to buy Chinkstuff made with Chinkwages. Their own wages wouldn't seriously increase while the prices would jump tenfold.

>>16207511
A lot elites actually seem open to UBI. It's more of a generational thing, when boomers can't imagine a world that isn't Arbeit macht frei, while techbro's embrace a future economy with more automation and UBI. Once boomers finally kick the bucket, it could come right away. A shame the environment will be too fucked by then.

They are going to get paid more than Asian slaves. They aren't going to get paid more by Western standards.

Most likely they will get somewhere around minimum wage, but even if you pay them 100k, it's not going to be enough to afford shit that's suddenly WAY more expensive.

Their position and ultimate goal seemed much more to extend the rights even to newcomers, however even allowing them to work here without granting civic right would be preferable to status quo and might be more politically passable.

Anyone who pushes for open borders and/or unmitigated migration are corporatists and they will refrain from admitting as such because they usually, also, hold an anti-corporate ideology.

Its pretty silly in that it just assumes that open borders or greatly increased openness will simply scale up the benefits seen under the current controlled system.

I mean take the example of places like India or Nigeria immigrants currently they and their descendants perform very well and are disproportionately well educated and successful - however the way the US immigration system is set it up it makes it very difficult for people who arent in this educated and wealthy demographic to immigrate. By removing the barriers you would be allowing all sectors of this society to enter.

This is actually a good idea though, why is it bad if a Mexican wants to earn 10x his base salary picking fruit in the US and then buy a hacienda to retire to? If they aren't going to become future citizens voting for leftists, what's the big deal? End the wage subsidies the public has to pay for farmers and make them responsible for the foreign workers they bring in. Globalization isn't going away, so it will be necessary to demarcate between native and non-native for the purposes of political rights and rights to the welfare state or you will descend into a leftist dumpster fire from the votes of foreigners seeking opportunity.

This is accurate. In late elementary school (America around 2005) my friends and I were playing smear the queer and some pearl clutcher, who wasn't one of our mothers, overheard us, was exceptionally offended, and began to lecture us. Our group immediately began to berate her and told her to fuck off (we might have offered to call it punt the cunt instead if she was so worried about the gays). It didn't take long until she retreated back into her car and started listening to music at a loud volume. These people only have power of you indulge them in their asinine rules.

I'm living in Poland right now and it's much, much better than i expected. In fact immigrants have started trickling in (Rwandans and Indians). I've been told the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia have become just as good. At this rate i see them targeted by mass immigration in the next couple decades.

Camp of the Saints cannot be confirmation bias since it was published decades before the mass immigration by sea Europe is now experiencing. You may call it prescient or prophetic though. The only thing it got wrong was the majority ethnicity of the migrants, except for Britain.

>>16215783
>Yes. It is right in that immigration is mostly good for the economy, ie. the rich will get richer from most immigration?
is that what we should wish for? Yes, if we are the rich.

Not necessarily. If you are already rich, you may value living in a more homogeneous society with less wealth discrepancy over even more money. Multi ethnic countries with huge wealth disparity like Brazil and South Africa have sky high crime rates forcing rich people to live their life with constant and bothersome security measures. I'd rather be rich, but not that rich, and live in Switzerland.

It turns out liberal bullshit is only held by a minority of a minority of people even in liberal countries, and most other places to jail or kill you for even expressing those beliefs.

You gotta be kidding, only a jew could write something like this shit (and only a jew could get it published)

>>16219421
Not sure if I have expressed myself badly. I'm not saying that other cultures are best or anything like that. I like my culture and don't have any strange complex of white guilt.

I'm just saying that the values listed here >>16208900 exist in other comunities, and in a lot of places or lots of people of ours, doesn't. I believe that can be seen easily traveling or reading.

Every single page I've seen posted in other threads is literally
>So you might be worried that importing a bunch of third world retards will lower the country's average IQ. BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE GDP LINE GOES UP!
>You might also be worried that an infinitely large labor pool will depress wages. BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE GDP LINE GOES UP!
>You might also be worried about how complete open borders would entirely decimate the very foundations of a functional society. BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE GDP LINE GOES UP!
It ends up reading like some extended schizophrenic shitpost, because he identifies all these obvious problems, and without actually explaining why turning your country into some South African dystopia, dismisses them with "but gdp goes up so it's okay".

It's not a great study, it's based on how many people agree with the statement "most people can be trusted". So really it's a metric of how trusting a people is.

The economic factors that allowed China to become such a vital part of the global manufacturing chain are more than simply their population. They already had tons of heavy industry from the Maoist developmental period, as well as a literate population. Other holdovers from the developmental regime, like collective work groups and systems for regulating population movement also helped. Additionally, the country is geographically close to Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan which meant when their initial manufacturing booms slowed their container ports (very important!) and capital could be utilized easily.

Not necessarily the main point of this thread, but it is frustrating to see the same "cheap, poor peasants are the ONLY thing China brought/brings" idea get thrown around. Essentially, cheap people dont equal prosperity without lots of capital investment and robust systems to funnel them into. This same point applies for immigrants in the US too, IMO

"beat china" get your head out the CNN/MSNBC neo lib dumpster fire and focus on the problems facing the working class.

You're not wrong but Austin costs several times more than Houston for an equivalent living space. Houston is inexpensive and at least pretty interesting. There's a lot to do here.

>This is the terrifying thing about the author's logic, which should be rejected by both right and left. They argue that the borders should be open, but that civic rights should not be extended to immigrants - essentially creating a serf class in the 21st century.
Somehow I doubt that.

i'd rather every country be strong, prosperous, and safe. i don't actually WANT the third world to be so third world. i WOULD like to be able to travel safely anywhere i want to go. unfortunately no matter how much you raise certain peoples up they remain dirty savages. look at india. under british rule for a century and immediately reverted to the rape capital of the planet when they left, streets covered in shit and garbage. and i don't care how poor you are, you can still have the decency to tidy up your trash and not crap in the street. so rather than "everywhere is nice, and you can go anywhere you like," all we get with this open borders shite is that firsties get flooded with thirdies and everything on the planet becomes third world, and not only that but loses its cultural identity in the process, becoming a mongrelized globohomo corporatist mystery meat slum, a stew with chunks of upchunk floating in it every color of the rainbow. there's your modernist utopia. the whole world as new delhi.

there are more whites than ever before in history, they are not going to go extinct. the issue is that traditional white countries and only white countries are being flooded with foreigners. now london is knife-attack-istan and swedish girls can't go outside without getting raped. there is also open-air anti-white racism "fuck white people" or "you can't be racist against white people" and the like. it's gone too far to be sustainable, which is the problem. and whites have always been a global minority to begin with, with easily erased recessive genes. but we've been through worse bottlenecks as a species and succeeded to breed and repopulate. the actual issue is the skyrocketing crime rate in former first world nations which is directly caused by importing large amounts of unvetted "refugees" from places that aren't even at war. or even were they at war, a refugee is supposed to be temporary, yet these are treated as permanent additions. so you can say, japan is still 99% japanese, china is 99% chinese, saudi arabia is 99% arab, nigeria is 99% nigerian, but there is no longer any white nation that is 99% white. primarily the issues are the overt anti-white racism and violence, coupled with the lawlessness and insane new crime levels. anti-white hate crimes occur every single day but are ignored by everyone. so yes, it's swung completely into a state of oppression and racial hatred against whites. and that is a problem. "sins of the father" etc. you're punishing zoomers for things that happened in the 1600s.

>>16228338
and i should say that if the purpose were to "import workers" that purpose has failed, if it could ever have succeeded at all, because something like 85% of immigrants go onto welfare. in other words they have become a large financial burden and a parasite. that drains out all the tax money that working native whites pay, which used to go towards infrax maintenance and general betterment of the nation, but now go to keeping clothed peoples who commit crimes all day and drive further up the financial burden of their residence. meanwhile we are entering a global economic downturn where young whites cannot afford what their parents and grandparents had, and the additional tax burden is killing them economically. and that creates hatred, when you, a native, work and work and work and toil and go into debt for education and cannot afford a house, but see new immigrants who do not even hold a job just GIVEN a house. that creates resentment. there is no way it would not, and it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with justice and equity. the youth are struggling too much for we as the western world to be handing out large sums to others, especially malbehaved others who commit the majority of crime. it's a bad situation and you don't need to be a neonazi to understand that.

What's the solution then? Looking at birthrates in places like America it seems that even if immigration was stopped tomorrow whites are simply going to be out bred. How do we reverse these demographic trends?

Are you fucking stupid or something? The amount of money that goes into welfare programs for the immigrants is so fucking tiny compared to what the (((rich))) steal every day. Literal billions of dollars get sent to Israel every year. Literal billions for the "war". Literal billions for tax avoidance.

You're such a stupid fuck that I can't believe you figured out the "import workers" scam yet didn't figure out the two pronged approach where they also can be blamed for taking money away from hard working Americans.

You stupid motherfucker. Stop posting shit and put your head up your ass.

>>16229210
Traitors deserve it. The only exception being mercy on those who immigrated to colonies of an empire, under the assumption it was the same country. Many somewhere like Newfoundland considered themselves just and were British citizens just working in a different province. unspeakable southern italians and swarthy germans and stuff going to america get no pity.

>>16228338

Actually I'm looking at demographic predictions and it seems like whites will go extinct in a couple of centuries if current trends continue.
