IMMIGRATION thread

[Husar]

Effin hellski!

So the Swedes have to adapt to the to immigrants? Do these idiots want a far-right party elected, because if they do, this is a very good way of going about it.

I'm glad I'm pushing 60 and won't live to see the coming civil war.

"We are the Bjørk, resistance is futile!"
It's all your fault, when we tried to embrace our culture and asked you to join us, you helped America bring us down.
The result of that are the modern ultra-peaceful movements that want to destroy and eradicate all differences between humans and oppose all movements that want no different humans.
It may surprise you, but I do agree that the tone of the video is quite strange and at least mildly offensive because it sounds like "So we did all that for decades and now you must adapt!". While I agree that putting differences aside is a good goal, one cannot ignore reality and neither should one be an ass about it.
I also don't see people who embrace macho cultures agreeing with this video.

This is a call for "multiculturalism" in its classic academic definition. That academic argument suggests that if we all try to treat one another as human beings and set aside outdated notions like nationalism and maintaining cultural stability in the face of shifting demographics, we will be able to build a new culture that adapts to change on an ongoing basis and seemlessly blends the beautiful strengths drawn from many cultures into a new whole.

Interesting, because: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism that promotes maintaining the distinctiveness of multiple cultures is often contrasted to other settlement policies such as social integration, cultural assimilation and racial segregation. Multiculturalism has been described as a "salad bowl" and "cultural mosaic".[4]

This suggests that multiculturalism embraces the differences and wants to keep them in peaceful coexistence, i.e. strong cultural stability.
I keep getting confused by all the definitions of multiculturalism, although I always thought it was more or less what you just said.

That view of multiculturalism works just about as well as the original blend of Marxism. As in, theoretically beautiful, but dead in the water on practical terms.

I think that depends a lot on the circumstances, many people would say the USA are pretty much what you described.

IA, medicine is good so you are likely with us a while. In addition, that civil war has already begun -- it is just that, as with most modern wars -- we will not get something as crisply defined or resolvable as Roundheads v Cavaliers. It will meander on in low intensity civil disorder with spurts of terrorism until one side or the other's reactionary fringe engineers a repressive government to stop it.

That's just terrible. If we can't get along then it just proves that humans are as terrible as some say. [insert terrible expletives]

If you say so, you can continue to try to provoke me all you want its not going to work

You already insulted him, what is not going to work?
