Rather, it means that reality can be a consequence of shared belief. It's a logical step, which I have not bothered to point out so far, because I thought it would be too obvious for anyone to question.

It is only white Western populations that are expected to accommodate the entire world and all its cultures. There is no expectation of, say, Muslim Arabs accommodating Jews, Christians, Africans, Chinese, Hindus, Sikhs, Animists, Atheist and apostates (or even Palestinian Muslims) from every corner of the globe and give them the freedom not only to live their own way but actively resist assimilatiion to Muslim Arab culture and social norms..

That's right.

Western cultures hold themselves to ridiculously high standards of secularism, human rights, rule of law, (non-gender-based) equality before the law, freedom of speech and movement, political accountability etc...

The vast majority of cultures have never, and do not today, hold themselves to those high standards.

And when they migrate to those Western Cultures they don't want to hold themselves to those high standards there either ..... they want to be allowed to turn the country they have migrated to into the same sort of country they fled.

And they are actively doing it all over the globe.

That's right, as all cultures do. Hence rabbits, foxes and weasels in Australia.

Individualism is usually an absurd concept to people who have grown up within collectivist cultures.

And those from cultures where religious observance is mandatory and religion dominates all aspects of life, including political life, and is inextricable from their justice systems, find assimilation particularly difficult.

Do you know anything about the Australian immigration process?

Ask an immigrant.

No - but 1.6 million people came into this country over the last 4 years
and that is only what they've admitted to.

That's equivalent to a city the size of Adelaide.

Where are they living?

Given nearly all of them will possess high-end required skills, in middle-class to upper-middle-class houses, I'd bet.

Should people in rural Australia go without doctors, healthcare workers, police etc... due to curbing immigration for its own sake?

Nearly all of them? Grin

What a load of bollocks.

How many of them would you say are living in substandard conditions?

Come on - most of them are in the big cities and
many are living 6 at a time in one bedroom flats. Roll Eyes

indians and chinese feel within their comfort zone when crowded

my sister had a lot of chinese uni srudents stay with her over the time and they often would move out of having their own bedroom to kick in with 20 or so other chinese students , 5 to a room.

and there are an indian family i know of with 4 families in a house and 3 taxis and the guys run those cabs 24/7. they change shifts like supercar drivers change drivers at bathurst .

i'm all for it

i admire the work ethic of the chinese and the indians

i dont think the samoan and tongans and maori are in the same cohort, work wise
and a lot of them are very fat, get diabetes and then spend 40 years clogging up hospitals .

albo needs to connect with the stud manager at coolmore stud and think about what sort of bloodstock we should be importing to improve the national herd.

i would be going all out to get people from singapore, malaysia, south korea, (and china and india) as these places are aspirational and industrious

and like dubai , i would import phillipinos and pakistanis on working visas , on $3 an hour ( a fortune for these guys) and they would build good quality affordable housing

the current slack fat sloppy white trash in most of our cities have probably never held a hammer in their hands and would probably faint the first time the temp hit 30 degrees Roll Eyes

Yep you should be a comedian

They don't have building standards in those countries ... people build to their own standards...

& guess what ... in a natural disaster they get washed away(floods), collapse (earthquakes)

Admittedly your $3 an hour pay rate is better than Gina Rineharts $2 a day suggestion.

Say that did happen .... how long would it be before everyone would be expected to work for $3 hr?

All you seem to come up with is how to turn us into a 3rd world country.

We'd see how long you remained alone on all the country you own then. Grin

Immigration will always be an easy target for politicians to leverage against their opposition.

The obvious reason is instinctive human suspicion of the other.

The next reason is the assimilation issues that invariably arise among post-1st generation immigrants who are forced to take on the challenges of having a foot in both culture-camps that can often spill over into antisocial and/'or criminal behaviour.

yes but see my Reply #80.

Immigration has been a taboo subject and even now
it only got mentioned AFTER the Dunkley by-election
by the shadow immigration minister.

Yes, well, the one caveat to that is when societies are faced with potential demographic collapse - heard of 'populate or perish'?

Societies cannot survive where the birthrate drops below replacement level and does not recover.

Sure - we need some immigration but not millions of people in only a few years.

'millions of people in only a few years', eh!

Define 'only a few years'... 60? or 6?

see my Reply #80.

"but I can tell you what's too high -
1.6 million people coming into this country over 4 years"

Do you have an optimal figure in mind over 4 years?

Whatever is required to fulfill jobs that can not be secured after advertising in Australia.
Could be perhaps 100,000 over 4 years?

You're pulling figures out of your arse!!

And where did the 1.6 million figure come from?

Out of a Politicians/ the Labor Parties arse?

Maybe. It would depend on how immigration was measured and whether the figures were massaged.

It refers to things that become real as a consequence of shared belief in them.

Transgenderism, wage gap against women, the actual existence of Men's Rights, Aboriginal Genocide and Oppression and special Rights, gay persecution, that a cop and not a gay killed those two young men, the Kennedy Assassination was not a team effort, minority persecution and special rights (again), racism in Australia, Divine Right Of Elected Government (the infamous 'mandate'), ... Jesus - what a list here, Igor....

https://www.quora.com/How-come-JFK-has-an-immediate-reaction-to-being-shot-while...

Now HTF was Connally shot through and through right to left while turned over 90 degrees in his seat back towards Kennedy who was already struggling with the neck hit.... run that one through frame by frame and the moment of impact is clear when Connolly's cheeks blow out.. and he is nearly turned backwards in his seat and looking at Kennedy... read his lips - What The Fork!

Did that magic bullet somehow turn over 90 degrees in mid air after exiting Kennedy's throat, and still have enough energy to do a through and through.. it was a Carcano 6.5mm, FCS - not a NATO 7.62 AP round (slightly heavier and more powder and as said - Armour Piercing) which we all know can turn 90 deg+ corners.... well - at least it can do two through and throughs... in a straight line or nearly..

You drink it! There was a second gunman to the left of the car.... meaning via triangulation there were three.. the last on the grassy knoll was the perfect spot, and that was most likely a 7.62 or similar AP round.... massive penetration and through and through.

Connolly was in the way of the head shot from the grassy knoll.... thus was removed ... these guys were experts... not some 50% shooter ex-Marine.

Agree

No. Australian immigration does not discriminate based on religious belief, so their religious affiliation is not assessed.

Probably because the White man created the Political Rights in the first place.
I'm sure Blacks have the entitlement, when it comes to Land and Maths.

Citizens of Western liberal democracies have more rights than any other being on earth,
because we subscribe to and defend Western liberal democratic ideals.

There's a reason why people from other political systems attempt to breach the borders of Western liberal democratic states.
