Have you ever heard the debate wether or not Japanese people are racist for not taking in enough Somalians? Have you heard about how racist Arabs are for not taking in enough gay Russian people or poor Phillipinos? Did you read about the recent condemnation of the fact that 16 muslim countries has banned Jews? Did you read about all the criticism towards China for being a mono-culture?
No? Neither have I. Of course not.
Different race - different standards
The West must uphold much higher standards than other civilizations. Why? Because we are better. Our prosperity, freedom and equality. We are expected to be nicer than everyone else, all the time.
But of course - the narrative is not like portrayed like this. The narrative is that we are evil oppressors who colonized the World. Yes, this is true. And again, we were best at that as well. Every other race and civilization pursued the exact same goals. They also had colonies, they also invaded other tribes, neighbouring states and areas. The only difference was that Europeans were so much better at it.
But as our civilization grew wiser and we embraced things like equality, human rights and so forth - we also took an apologetic approach towards our past. We started to "do right" to explain, to feel bad. Other races and cultures noticed that weakness and started pointing fingers. "Yes, it IS true. You ARE racists!" And with this focus, in books, in media, in movies - only white people did wrong. We did not learn that all races and people did exactly the same thing - some were even worse.
But that does not matter once we've taken responsibility. We are all of a sudden held to much higher standards. There is a reason why Arabs are not being held responsible for their African Slave trade, that not only was worse and to a larger scale, but lasted much much longer - even up to this day one can argue that Arabs use African slaves.
Yourself first
If you see two kids drowning, and one of them is yours, and the other one is an unknown kid - which one do you help first.
I asked this question to someone in my family - and their gut-reflex was "Why would THAT matter? All children are worth the same"
I must say I was deeply disturbed by this answer. After a discussion they sort of realized how strange and self destructive it was, and in fact insane, to not chose their own kin first. But this is a good example of how indoctrinated and dangerous relativism is. Where is the moral compass? They don't have any. It's like they have "evolved" away from anything that resembles individualism. Sure, they practice consumerism and narcisism and vanity, but they don't allow themselves to be honest to themselves about which values that are good.
We're told that altruism is great - but I don't know any one altruist who seem truly happy. Altruism is bad. It's like putting on the oxygen mask on your buddy before you put on your own. You might save him, but you might die. Wors case, you both die. If you take care of your own self first, then you can save your buddy. But the most important thing is to save your self. To try and save someone on the expense of your own life is insane. Even if you save someone, how can you know they have the resources to make it? It's like giving all your money to a drug addict. You end up poor and starved, while there is no certainty that the drug addict will spend the money on something meaningful. Then you both die. Or YOU could live a great life, follow your dream and create a place where drug addicts come to get help.
Another thing I experience with these people (most people) is the lack of consistency. They can say one thing one day, and the quite opposite the next day. That to me proves that they have no standards, no values and no morality. How scary is that? One day murder is bad. The next day it's OK. This lack of consistency is because of the lack of values and morality. When you strip away that from people you can brainwash them in any form and shape you want.
Solution?
Peacefully vote for parties that has values, that has a moral compass, that cherish your culture, your people and want to keep it that way. I want Europe to be a great place. It's a great place with a lot of different people, indeed. Whites, blacks and brown. But one important factor must be that we should be allowed to be proud of all the fine things we have created like equality, human rights, amazing discoveries, medicine etc. If you honestly believe that all this was somehow stolen from the bushes in Africa or the fields of America - then that is your right. If you believe that for some strange reason picking cotton contributed more to the construction of America than all the white slaves who built roads and houses - then so be it.
But if you believe that despite our sometimes horrible past we also have the right to feel proud of our culture and ourselves, show it. Write about it. Vote for it.
Of course people are selfish. Playing the game like they are not is just a sign of the cognitive dissonance in our culture. I also think feminism is underrated as a disease in our society. Just look at Sweden! Anyway, I like this quote from the Joker (a true existentialist):
“Don’t talk like one of them, you’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak–like me. They need you right now. When they don’t…they’ll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their code: it’s a bad joke. They’re dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see, when the chips are down these civilized people will eat each other. Ya see I’m not a monster, I was just ahead of the curve.”

I work in a hotel and from time to time we have had for example Arab guests. We are expected to treat them like kings, offer services we don't normally have and of course for the same price, while they are very very very rude. "You have to be undestanding, they come from a different culture." Fuck that! There is no way I would get treated the same way in their countries.
I'd have to be covering myself up because no matter what, I as a European always have to be understanding and respectful towards every else.

Oh, you'd get treated different in their countries all right. You'd be whipped for not wearing a hijab, stoned to death if you'd be so unlucky to get raped and in a court your voice would count half that of a man.
Are you fucking that though? Are you telling your boss you're not going to treat certain people differently? I know it's hard, and you could lose your job, but think about it.

Well, most of the Arab nations are monarchies. They don't even hide the fact that they believe some are born to rule others. It's a real shame that royalty still exists. The West has the problem too. As a species, we are apparently very slow learners in that regard. :(

It's a coincidence, but I just watched a documentary on how immigration has failed in Sweden. This is a difficult subject, for I believe peaceful people should be free to travel no matter where they are on the globe. Borders are just a way to control people.
However, the key word is peaceful. You're not peaceful? You don't respect equal rights under the law for all? You think women are property? Children too? Well, then we are going to have a problem.
We cannot depend on governments to protect us either.
As they did in Sweden, they won't care. They need more tax payers, and they need people afraid and dependent on government for protection.
This is also why I will never disarm. Come and be peaceful. Beware if you are not however. I will defend my culture, my love of individual liberty, with violence if all other means fail.
Here's the link to the documentary if anyone is interested:

Yeah. I'm divided also. As you, I am a Libertarian, ancap and freedomlover. I like a lot of cultures, subcultures, food and travel. However, I hold dear certain values which are incompatible with certain people (for instance Islam and Nazis and orthodox Jews and Communists) I don't want to live near these people.
But as long as people decide that they want Government to control us, It is important that we show them where we stand.
Without Government there wouldnt be a problem with immigration. Only those who seek our values and would want to contribute would come. And we would welcome them.
With Government we have to fight against it, because our hard labour goes in the hands of a lot of people who just demand and dont want to contribute.
It's like neither the Governments nor the immigrants themselves understand how utterly degrading and violent it is that we have to work, pay taxes and then GIVE our money to these people who have no intention of working - just recieving. It is so humiliating and evil.
We are literally the SLAVES of third world people in our countries.

It will come to an end. I thought I read too that some refugee camps were burned down? This is one reason I respect the Russians by the way. They make it very clear that all are welcome, but you have to learn and respect their culture. If you do not, you are not welcome. You will not be accepted either. I know Latin America does the same thing too. Unless you live by their standards, they will never welcome you.
America used to have a similar culture built on individual liberty. Those coming here who were against it were not welcome. Sure, you could stay, but good luck making a living, etc.
I forget exactly what I used to write about religion, but it is related to this topic. It was something like, "Freedom of religion is okay as long as the religion that protects that freedom remains in the majority." That's the problem with immigrating people who have a religion that does not support freedom of religion of course.
I will not change my beliefs to conform to theirs. They will not force their control system on to me. As I said in other places, I will use violence in defense of myself too if you try to use violence to force me into your bad cultural or religious systems.

With permission I will take the liberty of intervening in the conversation, since I found the subject interesting.
The truth is that migration should be completely banned or, in its absence, highly regulated, it seems to me that if there were freedom of transit, what would happen is that the socialists, once their country was economically destroyed, would go to live capitalist countries and then they would destroy them. Remember that in today's world, most people are socialists even if they do not declare themselves as such. They go to an economically prosperous country, and once they are there, they begin to demand a welfare state. Finally, I believe that people from the West and East, we are both in religion, cultural, economically, politically and socially incompatible.

I was watching this video a moment ago, I thought it was a good idea to comment on it here. Here it is shown how the left, and many others, tries to realize the historical psudorevisionismo that I mentioned before. They want to see European colonization as negative, based on nothing more than deep unknowledge and misrepresentation of information.

Finally, a European who defends his culture !! I was already beginning to believe that they became stupid. Look, about everything you say, you're right. although many do not like it, but the original Europeans proved to be superior in the past, and even today they continue to demonstrate, countries like Norway, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, are examples of societies. For some time they have tried to carry out a historical pseudorevisionism, in which only Europeans are criticized, the worst thing is that they misrepresent everything, they have done a brainwashing, especially to the Europeans, "everyone has to feel good for their origin and defend their culture, "say, with the exception of Europeans, because if it is not seen aggressively, supremacist or discriminatory.

Well, I don't defend it, or maybe I am..I don't know. I just don't understand why we should be ashamed of the greatest culture ever built, when everyone else (who ALSO had slaves and colonies) are encouraged to embrace THEIR own culture. If someone can prove to me, with logic and rationality that europeans somehow STOLE all the ideas for everything that we prospered in..then I'll reconsider. But I can't see any rational reason of why that should be.

Look, I'll give you the example of my country, Venezuela: In the 50's, our country brought the nation a flow of European migrants, Venezuela was the main welcoming country of Europeans, especially Italians, Portuguese, Spanish and German , the truth is that only during that time Venezuela became the second economy of America and was among the first five in the world. At that time, all the Venezuelan oil was extracted by Europeans, Dutch, British and German. The country was the main exporter of oil in the world, the Venezuelan population, of only about 4 million people by then, had a high quality of life. Years later, the power passed to anti-European people, entered the country of all the people of South America and the Caribbean, and the nation was degrading. Today, we are governed by Arabs and mulattoes, and well, I think I should not have to explain the conditions in which my country is today. There are simply cultures that create and others that destroy.

Yes, you are defending European culture, but there's nothing wrong about that. It's the atmoshpere we live in today that makes you think maybe it's wrong to defend your way of life. That's self-censorship and we all have a big problem if we start feeling we shouldn't say what we think.

I have known many people from other countries, from other nationalities, races. And my experience I have been able to meet many good people and I feel very lucky.
I have lived in their homes, I have eaten their food, I have talked with them, I have participated in their events, in their churches and never of all the people I have had problems.
I have always lived in peace in spite of the cultural differences, of language and other differences.
It is true hypocrisy but you have to know how to live with others!
And I'm going to end with a quote from a Mexican President Don Benito Juarez who said:
Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.

We are seeing the negative effects of the massive immigration. It doesnt matter if you personally have good experiences with people. It is not statistic. It is anecdotal subjective experiences.
Calm norwegians who are quiet and polite don't like it when hundres of shouting and screaming Somalis enter the subway. We just don't fit togheter.

I don't quite agree with that :)
We are all equal in terms of worth and rights. We are all the same species and we are all worth the same. But we are not equal in terms of many other things. We are different - and we should embrace that. I want all cultures to be what they are. I want Chinese culture to exist, and I want Egyptian culture to exist. I also want European culture to exist.
But that's not really relevant. The point is everyone should be subjected to the same standards. Unless we of course decide that Africans and Arabs have such low IQ that they can't be responsible for their past..
What's it going to be? :)

It is a very difficult subject but if it is true that we are different races and with different customs and so it will always be. What should occupy us is that we know all the inhabitants of this planet is that in our inner self we are all equal and with the same human rights.

Yes. That's true. And people with the same values and interest would in a perfect world flock together. Unfortunately, with governments controlling us, we are forced to live with people we don't want to live with. I would love to live with other anarchists and capitalists..of ALL colors and cultures. But no communists. :)
