IMMIGRATION thread

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Weren't those cultures at quite a different level of development and not seen as the same kind of subhumans?
If I'm not mistaken they did at least have a more educated upper class that was somewhat incorporated into the colonial rule while Africa had a stronger top-down approach.

So you're saying Indian culture was more "developed" than African culture?

More literate and keener to Westernise at one point, perhaps, but by the first quarter of the 20th century Africa also had a well educated elite - or at least the elite had the opportunity to be well educated. Nelson Mandela was a Lawyer as well as a Marxist and a terrorist, for example.

Or is it just that good cultures accept oppression and do what the oppressor wants and only bad cultures fight back?

I'm happy to draw the line at "does not kill own people to make a point".

The Catholic PIRA are in that boat too.

This is also a cultural problem of us expecting that everybody we meet should love us and our culture and our rule or they must be bad people. Most of these muslim terror groups came into existence as a response to foreign oppression. What would have happened without this foreign oppression is a big what-if. How many suicide bombings happened before colonialization?

Before colonialism it wasn't possible to do suicide bombings and, in fact, I think you'll find that the modern Jihadist and suicide bomber only appeared after WWII as these countries gained independence.

It's not an issue of can't....
The government made 100 billion € in profit from the greek crisis alone and increased weapon exports by a whole lot.
It could certainly afford to bail out banks, how much more does that cost than building homes for the homeless?
Germany is seen as the economic powerhouse of Europe and you eriously think the government could not afford to help the homeless if it actually wanted to?
I think it is more likely that they do not care and the homeless probably often don't vote anyway as it would require them to invest a lot more effort than someone who has a home and is automatically notified and registered. A cynic might also say they serve as a reminder for everybody else not to mess with the system too much.

Well, everybody knows the current German government are a bunch of puritanical nationalistic prigs, so that's a bad example.
