We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A decade long austerity have underfunded basic services, thereby making migrants and locals compete. Climate change will only exacerbate the ongoing tensions.

Sweden and like New York are doing great 👍 So Germany, do Better.

Problem with migration, that often people get placed in the same area and won't really assimilate.

Not sure what you mean, but Sweden have soured on immigration. The far-right Sweden Democrat is in a coalition government with the centre right as we speak.

Oh okay, I wasn't able to tell.

Out of curiosity, is New York also experiencing anti-immigration?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

There is definitely a push for it. I recommend watching Cash Jordan on YouTube https://youtu.be/W8OPvPZF6zc good inside look and discussion.

And yet our Government shies away from banning this fascist pos Party. Spineless cunts.

Forgieners are the easiest to blame for your problems. But they often are the exact opposite of them.

They are essential to the survival of the country - we neither have the brith rate, nor the capacity to sustain anything without them. As a country highly dependent on exports, immigration has always been one of the key factors. Be it the Turkish in the 60s and 70s, or anyone else. Being German has basically nothing to do with being born here

If you think thats bad, its gonna get worse. One of the biggest biggest demographics that voted for them were young people now imagine how it will be when these young people grow up

Europe is going to be a shitshow in the coming decades no matter what direction voters are trending. We're all talking about this as if it's primarily a political issue and it just isn't. Climate change is already fucking our shit up and that's going to get exponentially worse. Desperate people don't care about imaginary lines on a map.

We can't even deal with a comparatively small amount of migrants without backsliding into the same kind of fascism that our grandparents had to invent nuclear bombs to subdue 80 years ago. There's no way we're going to deal with what's coming in a rational way.

Hey, the nuclear bombs were to stunt on fools, fascism got beat just fine by the united industrial strength of social democracy(ish), communism(ish), and the British Empire. And all three of those things are doing just fine in 2024, right?

"Fascism got beat just fine" is a fun way of saying West front was exceptionally lucky, and the Eastern successfully smothered the fscists with meat

Tbf, that was Chiang Kai-Shek's strategy against Japan as well.
