I don't understand why telling elaborate lies and engaging in such absurd deception helps their bottom line. It's not any more expensive to tell the truth... And, I think a lot of people are sympathetic to the truth right now and are waking up to the fact that they've been lied to for decades.

How about discussion what Muslims really believe and what their holy texts say, and how their beliefs can lead to hostility against other ethnic and religious groups. Why is it that we are constantly being told "Islam is a religion of peace", even though one of the central beliefs of Muslims is that "non-believers should be killed" - and why is it that when Muslims act upon those beliefs and commit violent Jihad for the sake of Allah, the media is so slow to use the word terrorism? They like to say "this has nothing to do with Islam", even though many of these guys are very open about the fact that what they do is entirely motivated by Islam.

How about discussing some of the issues regarding Muslim communities in Europe (terrorism, sex abuse and trafficking of infidel minors, widespread prison radicalization, etc). How about discussion of the racial component of interracial crimes, especially when they involve recent refugees. The media always tells us when a white person does something racist, or hateful, or when a white cop shoots an "unarmed" black, but we never hear the racial component of crimes when the races are reversed. Why is that? If we are going to make rational choices about migration, we need to be given good information, and we need to be able to discussion issues without fear of censorship. Why can't we do that? Why won't the CBC do that?

A good youtube channel that shows some of the dark sides of immigration - most of this stuff is conspicuously hidden from us:

u/agfatsam · 3 pointsr/Libertarian

Well, I'd personally say that it's not likely to be an issue.

Historically, the United States has a pretty long history of people already in the United States worrying about new groups entering the US.

This involves rolling out a remarkably-constant-across-the-centuries list of concerns with each group. That they will force cultural change on the existing inhabitants. That they come from poorer places than the US, and will make the US poorer once they arrive. That they suffer from sexual immorality. That they will force their religion on others. That they suffer from radical political ideas and will destroy American political institutions. That they will refuse to learn English.

You can go all the way back to Benjamin Franklin, back in 1751, prior to the American Revolution, and Franklin was already complaining how non-white (yes, the term has been remarkably malleable over the years) Germans, Swedes, and all sorts of other bilge of humanity were going to ruin America in "Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind":

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Franklin/01-04-02-0080

> And since Detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their Places at Home so soon supply’d and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.
>
> Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

And for centuries, those alarming people rolled on in, and instead of collapsing, the US became wildly wealthy and powerful.

Happened with Catholics, the Italians, the Irish, Jews, the Polish, and on and on and on. Somehow, the imminent catastrophe that the other was going to cause never quite materialized.

Here's a cute political cartoon I like to drag up: “Who is to Blame”, from Judge magazine 1891

It was not frictionless, no. But it has persistently worked out.

You can find similar worried authors all through US history. It'd be fun to line up some modern-day equivalent -- I dunno, maybe Pat Buchanan's The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization alongside other screeds -- take one about the Irish, say, and one about the Poles -- and put the texts side by side and actually do a Venn diagram showing how many of the concerns actually overlap versus how many differ from each era.

The especially good bit is that historically, a number of people who originally came to the American colonies were considered as something of flotsam. The American colonies were the destination for British penal transportation for longer than Australia was, not to mention all those religious radicals, or the piratical types operating out of Rhode Island. If there was one good, solid piece of evidence that societies weren't particularly good at identifying people whose progeny would surely lead to failure, the US has got to be it.

u/SammyD1st · 2 pointsr/Natalism

Certainly!

Let's just all keep it respectful, and understand that this sub here isn't /r/childfree.

To dive into the question... I think it's interesting that you phrased it "want kids" because survey data consistently shows that people desire more children than they actually end up having. That is, "desired/ideal fertility rates" are consistently lower [EDIT: "higher"] than "realized fertility rates."

Because of this, much of modern Natalism focuses on how we can enable people to have as many children as they themselves already want to have.

Author Jonathan Last focuses on this, in particular. Check out this interview of Last here, and his book is here.

u/CertifiedRabbi · 49 pointsr/DebateAltRight

Eric Kaufmann is a mixed-race Jew and university professor who specializes in understanding ethnicity and demography. He published a book earlier this year called Whiteshift which largely focused on examining the White Genocide/Great Replacement agenda via mass immigration, miscegenation, the liberal "anti-racist" (i.e., anti-White) ideology that ultimately underpins it all, and the rise of far-right, reactionary, and populist movements like Trump, Brexit, and the Alt-Right in response to the left's anti-White agenda.

According to his demographic estimates, most White Western nations like the UK are going to become majority non-White in this century and about 75% mixed race by 2150. And that figure didn't even include non-White immigrants that will still remain genetically/racially pure - which means that Whites are going to be reduced to a tiny percentage of the population in their own countries and blended out of existence almost entirely in the next century.

And so if ethnonationalist movements like the Alt-Right aren't successful, then not only will the White race be completely destroyed, but so will every other race as well as humanity becomes one giant monoracial and monocultural beige blob - which is the exact opposite of diversity.

u/jeanralph · 1 pointr/todayilearned

Here's a book written by a respected, apparently relatively uncontroversial, pro-feminist genocide scholar who asserts and easily demonstrates that there are serious issues with the media coverage of massacres as regards their male victims.

Over-emphasizing the existence of -- presumably -- minority of female victims when in fact most of the victims are male (who are treated as default, genderless victims, their maleness never being brought up which is paradoxical given that it's likely by virtue of being born male that they were assumed to be potential hostile combatants, and subsequently dealt with as such) is precisely one of the biases that are discussed in this research.

There are patterns at play, and it sure looks like OP clumsily reproduced the one I've just mentioned.

You're deluded if you believe that they are anecdotal and not detrimental to the way we perceive and accept the existence of male victims.

Du gider jo ikke et dansk værdiset, du ønsker at vores værdier skal udvandes og vi skal blive en del af en globalverden, der ødelægger fælleskaber og højtudviklet etniskehomoegene samfund overalt.

En verden hvor diversitet er en merit det handler om racer og kønsroller, men ikke personlige individuelle kvaliteter. Et sted hvor drømmen om en "mixed raced majority" og "demographic revolution" kan herske. Det sygt som du vil ødelægge udgangspunktet for min stamme, dybt sygt.

France didn't care about this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3435772/Former-commander-French-Foreign-Legion-75-arrested-Pegida-protest-Calais.html

Why would the French military men start growing a pair in the future? Don't you guys get it? It's over. http://www.amazon.com/Death-West-Populations-Immigrant-Civilization/dp/0312302592/

We are witnessing the SPOILS (women, welfare, housing, education, medicine) being divvied up between the VICTORS (various third-world tribes under the banner of Islamofascism).

In Eastern Europe there may be military coups to get out of the EU and setup strong borders against Western European third-worlders (who will soon be on the move for fresher economies and women to exploit). These coups will be quickly squashed by a militarized EU and NATO.

Western Europe is lost. You guys need to get that into your heads. Even if all third-worlders left today, suicidal degeneracy will destroy what's left because the CORE of the West is ROTTEN.

Ask yourselves, what's left to protect? Gay rights? Feminism? Self-hate? Transgenderism? Crony-capitalism? Soulless consumerism? No wonder European men don't bother lifting a finger for the women anymore. http://russia-insider.com/en/rts-anissa-naouai-interviews-iben-thranholm/ri12471

u/amaxen · 0 pointsr/TrueReddit

Speaking as a general rule, it should be ignored based on the history of previous social crises that never happened.

To take just one example, in the 70s, the Population Bomb was widely believed to be a reality already here: If you haven't heard about this, the best known popular culture representation of it is 'Soylent Green'- which was completely serious about it's beliefs. Ehrlich was predicting that England would have food riots cease to exist by 1990, and that the world population would crash. There was not just his book, but multiple other scientific models that supported his theory. He was hugely popular, and was giving advice on things like giving aid to Indian and African famines which basically said 'We should not give them food and let them die, to avoid the even worse consequences later'. He was completely, utterly wrong. His advice, if followed, would have lead to the deaths of millions.

You can read about the fight against neo-Malthusianism here in a short popular article. Bottom line, though, people tend to obsess about the next doomsday scenario and not think too much about how many have fizzled out (few people remember how much people bought into the Y2K apocalypse, just as an example).

We have had any number of other apocalypse scenarios come out, acquire passionate adherents, then utterly flame out. The most recent one was the 'peak oil' theory. Try finding someone to defend that one now. Two years ago they were all over Reddit and popular culture.



TL;DR: If it happens, we'll deal with it then. But I see no reason to rush into it. History predicts that something will happen in the next 10 years that will make BI look like just another cultural obsession amongst a small subgroup. Extending a current trend to infinity assumes trends are straight lines rather than curves. Things will need to get a lot, lot worse before it becomes politically possible to cut people's Social Security benefits. And really, there's not much evidence that we're seeing massive job loss beyond the normal amount that happens during healthy economies.

u/poiurewqweruiop · 5 pointsr/Conservative

Think about how unbridled immigration from third-world countries and open-arms refugee policies affects a nation's law, culture, traditions, and political philosophy. Just go take a peek at Europe's cultural suicide.

And I challenge you to think critically about the related issues independent of ethnicity! Resist the leftist impulse to view everything through the lens of race, and you'll gain some harrowing insights about what is happening in the world.

***

Read one of these books:

  • The Death of the West

  • Slouching Towards Gomorrah



    Observe the destruction of the family and the increasing infidelity, glorification of casual sex, and out-of-wedlock child births (which is one of the major predictors of criminality). The media normalizes so much of this.



    Consider the growth of the government and the ever-increasing dependence on government by citizens.

For those of you that want to have your blood boil, or have a good laugh (or cry) at what the religious right is thinking about this topic have a look at this "documentary", this book, and this book as well.

I am not promoting these books (I vehemently disagree with this thinking), but this is actually a serious movement within social conservatism and social conservatives who are kind of freaking out about the low birth rates and extremely widespread use of contraception.

> If you actually instituted tests for IQ and high-skills, you'd basically end Hispanic immigration right there.

Leaving aside the blatant offensive characterisation of Hispanics - IQ is a bell curve, not a straight line or half a bell curve....

Hispanic net migration has already ended of its own accord. The reason is simple - declining birth rates in the source countries, mirroring declining birth rates in America and in most other countries around the world. Involuntary unemployment may soon be a thing of the past. You're fighting yesterday's battles and you don't realise it.

The Chicken Littles would have you believe we're screwed but they're just not very creative or they want their "solution" imposed on everyone.

I'm old enough to remember when the "smart crowd" was preaching we wouldn't have enough food for everyone because there would be too many people by now. Instead, we have an obesity epidemic. At the time they were preaching mass sterilization. China riffed on it and imposed the one child policy which now has them saddled with a lot of young men who can't find wives because the girl babies were murdered.

> but I can't quite see what point you're making beyond that.

To beat your enemy, you must understand your enemy. The fact you continue to repeat this nonsense that the only thing white nationalists care about is skin pigmentation is ludicrous. That is factually not. That is why I brought up light skinned Asians and albino blacks. If skin pigmentation was truly all they cared about, then they wouldn't give a shit where someone was from, or what ethnicity they were, as long as they had white skin. Which is obviously absurd. their concern is having a homeland for exclusively those of European heritage, to the exclusion of other groups.

> You're right that white nationalism is inherently ridiculous,

It IS RIDICULOUS, but we disagree on why. You think it is ridiculous because you have a childs understanding of the world and it boils down to left wing mantras like "racism bad", which has a complete lack of though or understanding of anything. I find it ridiculous because there is no realistic way to accomplish the craft of making the US a European ethno-state, as there are already huge amounts of minorities. They will not go of their own choice. Because I do not want to be associated with genocide I think it is a silly ridiculous idea. HOWEVER, the idea of Europeans having a homeland where they can restrict immigration I do support, if it is in Europe. Most countries on Earth are an ethno-state to some extent. Japan is a fucking ethno-state, and more power to them. I agree with the white nationalists when they point out that every other ethnicity on the planet has an ethnos-state somewhere, EXCEPT Europeans.........You need to learn more about the world young pup.

i highly recommend reading the following book to help you get some understanding of the European situation.

u/QuantumCatBox · 3 pointsr/politics

Tennessee is currently one of nine states with strict photo ID requirements where a citizen cannot cast a ballot that will count without a specific kind of government issued photo ID. As many of the comments on here demonstrate, these strict photo ID laws are needed to prevent in person voter fraud. Of all the experimental, statistical, and qualitative studies examined in the 200 page September 2014 GAO report, a qualitative study from 2010 found 48 individuals charged with violating federal election laws from 1996-2005 (p. 67). But, that does not really matter. A thousand studies could be released confirming the results and it wouldn't make a difference because the claim being made simply cannot be falsified. The response will always be "well yeah, it's fraud, you are not going to catch it...so we have to work to reduce it...even though it will always be a threat because it can never be measured." It's essentially a claim that can never be defeated as the framing of the issue means you cannot disprove it, and it's hypothetical existence always justifies greater restrictions to prevent it. It really is an ingenious way to gain support for a policy, especially when you throw in the "fear of illegal aliens" - a fear that has rallied support around all kinds of repressive legislation.

So, What kind of company are the people supporting these restrictive voting laws in? Since the fraud issue cannot be disproven given that fraud can never be detected, lets see where the supporters of voter ID laws fall in an historical context.

The nine states with the most restrictive laws are Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, N. Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Do any of these states have a history with enacting restrictive voting laws? Between the dates of 1890-1918 the following states had in place the following restrictions:

  • Alabama [poll tax, grandfather clause, old soldier clause, literacy test]
  • Arkansas [poll tax (declared invalid in 1905...new one approved in 1907)]
  • Mississippi [poll tax, literacy test]
  • N. Carolina [poll tax, grandfather clause, literacy text]
  • Tennessee [poll tax]
  • Texas [poll tax]

    Wow, six of the current nine states with voter ID laws have also attempted to tackle that rascally issue of voter fraud. The poll tax seems like an especially popular method, with Mississippi setting the standard with its $2 poll tax for every citizen between the ages of 21 and 60, with the requirement that the tax receipt be presented in order to vote. At the time Mississippi's black population was 743,000 and the white population was 545,000. But hey, you have to pay money to buy alcohol and tobacco, or to buy gas and insurance to drive to a car, so why not have to pay to vote? I mean isn't that the argument with why voter ID laws are okay; equate the right to vote with privileges to trick your logic circuits in justifying the regulation? I mean who cares if the actual effects meant that in Alabama in 1900 only 3,000 of the 181,471 black males of voting age were registered to vote.

    It's called stopping voter fraud, and this fraud is so dangerous it should be stopped by any means possible or our entire democracy will surely crumble! But I understand, these states recognize that in the face of certain threats a persons constitutional liberty can be slightly encroached on. Wait, eight of those nine states do not require any form of ID or background check for two private individuals to engage in a handgun sale. What the FUCK?!?! Are you telling me the threat of voter fraud is so severe that the states put restrictions on the right to vote, but actual fucking gun related deaths are not enough to constitute any infringement on the right to bear arms?! Does not fucking compute!!

It's the chief reason why I left the neo-con movement, minus the racism. More the cognitive dissonance by reducing BC and abortion services while cutting programs for poor children.

It's actually a GOOD THING the racist asshat is thinking this way. The neo-con anti-abortion stance had very little to do with religion, it had to do with racism.

See, in their minds the only people who use BC and abortion services are white college co-eds. "Darkies" don't use them to get more welfare babies.

So to keep the white population up, we need to ban BC and abortion.

This is seriously what they believe, Pat Buchanan wrote a book about it. http://www.amazon.com/The-Death-West-Populations-Civilization/dp/0312302592

Well, racist people (or nationalists who see racism as tied to nationalism), see it as a race or nation dying off & dread that.

In the US, the birth rate of white people is low, in Germany I believe it's below replacement rate. Here in the US, we white folk will be outnumbered next generation, as Hispanics and others are having larger families then we are.

If you see cultural change as dangerous or scary, you're terrified by this.

Seriously, Pat wrote a whole book on this subject.

He's not entirely wrong in his basic thesis, this demographic shift is causing real issues... but mostly because of fear causing the outgoing top demographic's reactionary response... i.e. Brexit or Trump.

Given the nationalist & racist undertones going on in society within that movie, coupled with the exaggeration of low birth rate to zero birth rate, I very much saw the basic idea of this movie as highlighting these demographic fears.

In the movie, the only hope for humanity, was a scorned & imperiled 'other' in the form of a miraculously pregnant imegrent woman.

>I'm irish you stupid idiot.

You're still racist. Like a Celtic Uncle Ruckus.

>Sorry I'm not a billionaire and can jet-set around the world

I've only been to Canada.

I do have a library card, an Internet connection, a high school education, and basic people skills though. That's all one really needs to realize you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

>Did you know that they just threw chinamen at the TCRR until it was done?

"Chinamen"? That's some vintage racist shit.

>There are a lot of Polish people here too.

But you don't know anything about them because you have the people skills of a mole rat.

>Your hostility proves the un-popularity of this issue. Mr. Genius.

So one the fact that one person disagrees with an opinion makes it unpopular? Well, I guess there are no popular opinions then.

Again, read a book.

EDIT: Read another book too.
