barn Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Hi thinkers and alike, The EU is toast (imho), too late & too little. (bleeding out, civil wars inevitable in my estimation... there'd have to be a great enough number of nations WITHIN the EU to enact mutiny, but that'd also include many of those nations going against their self interest... very, reeealy hard to even say that it is a possibility... so, I rather discarded its puny likelihood) Has anyone seen any plans drawn up by sympathetic nations to welcome those in hopes of finding less feudalism/deepstate-globalist environments ? (I wouldn't be surprised if it was already in the making, filtering for skills and genome.) Russians are seemingly doing something about the situation in South Africa but I'm less than convinced many would ever consider it other than a last resort.

Is it really a good idea to take in European refugees? Europe is the way it is because of Europeans. Why should we bring that here?

Or am I not drawing a true parallel, are the two completely different? Also, it isn't likely bringing "that here" because of the Constitution and its protective powers (until it lasted), right?!

What percentage of the North Americans came from Europe originally? Did they leave Europe back in the day to seek more freedom mainly?
Siegfried von Walheim Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 All this running away will result in the same end that befell the Amerindians when they continually sold out their descendants and hid out in the expansive West. Eventually the West ran out, and so did they. Europe's going to be fine. Sure, they might have some rough patches, maybe even a few wars, but they'll be fine. They've been fine for at least 5,000 years, I'm sure they'll be fine for another 5,000. You might not like it, but feudalism is what succeeded republicanism historically (in Europe). The Feudal Monarchy is progressive; the Republic is regressive. And while you might not have meant it literally, it's a possible future. More likely there will be petty dictatorships though. Once they've fallen, they may morph into feudal states however and return to law and order in doing so.

I don't think America/Russia would benefit from importing the most cowardly 20% of Europeans... ...However Europe might benefit. I'd rather not play theoretical-God though, because neither you nor I can really be sure what'll happen so we might as well just accept the infinite possibilities and tend to our own gardens.

There's no good way to ideologically vet people coming in, so I don't think it is possible to take only the good ones. But when things start going south, my guess is that the people fleeing will be the same ones who voted for these catastrophes. Anyone with any sense and two nickles to rub together got out of Europe/SA a long time ago. So by "that" I mean leftism. The constitution only exists as a protection so long as people want it to, so will millions of more potential leftists I don't see it lasting for very long.

Quote Russians are seemingly doing something about the situation in South Africa but I'm less than convinced many would ever consider it other than a last resort. More than 80 thousand white South Africans have left the country just last year. Most to other commonwealth nations, but another lot to other countries that would rather not draw undesirable media attention to themselves by advertising their programmes. I am not authorised to say who these prudent nations are, but you will no doubt learn about them after the new land reforms are implemented at the end of August. That's when they will have to crank up the scale of these evacuation programmes, and there won't be any hiding it then.

The only way most europeans can be rehabilitated is by admitting the intrinsic failures and immorality of their ideologies. Short of that, the best thing that can happen is that their suffering serves as a warning to others. If people refuse to admit their causal role in what's happening in europe, then they're a lost cause and it will only hurt us by bringing them here.

Ok, let me ask you this... When thinking of value encapsulated in a given quantity... Does Stefan Molyneux qualify as European if we filtered by origin(?) (+1 Would you say that Peter J. Watson's manifesting "european politics" too?) and that keeping the back door open for such individuals was an immense net gain, even if the costs were relatively higher? (because they'll be paying it off in several multitudes later, unlike the illegal immigrants currently unable to 'find' jobs) As a sidenote, I fully agree with you on the 'buzzword' thingy, although in this case it's actually representative of the majority of people who voted Trump into office(and he's using it accordingly).

My assumption is that people who stayed had no problems when policies were being implemented but want out because it's gone horribly, predictably, wrong. No way you think? Bummer. No probs. It sounds logical though to a certain degree. The way I think of it, the reason I was asking, because I know quite a few people who have large sums of money sunk into 'cashcows' / sluggish herency related assets... etc. and to transition from one place to another 'TAKING' with you your lifesavings is quite a challenge (well, depending on your preference for retention rate and stuff). There's not that many 'mobile asset holders' to 'cemented down' wealthy people, comparatively. Future telling is a great gamble, especially if you aren't used to it (Europe has always had less applicable free-market as a whole than say the USA, takes time to 'unlearn' state boundaries). (Obviously, I also know about the 'cream of the top' having left/in the process of leaving / transitioning, but as you know there are several levels below say, 200K a year, conservatively put.)

If people refuse to admit their causal role in what's happening in europe, then they're a lost cause and it will only hurt us by bringing them here. That's a great point, I think. (see below if I got it) Similarly in parenting, or in education, if consequences are being kept outside of a bubble, the children/students will not be able to interact with reality when the bubble burst. For them, the otherwise neutral reality is most likely going to be an impossible impasse, for most it's going to be a knee-jerk reaction to seek out another 'protective bubble' during the shock of being unable to function/the world is 'functioning upside down', suddenly. (Is this that you'd meant?) Would you say that perhaps it was time the Europeans, except for the "few and far between" should be left to their own devices, and it's an illusion that 'helping' would help?

RichardY Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Hurrah Collectivism. No individualistic settling of disputes, just massive tribal warfare. Bulk of the world being collectivist. Unconscious bias. Given modern technology and lack of geographical separation. Collectivism winning big time. Some ability to choose between Left and Right, virtually none between collectivism and individualism.
