I don't agree with everything @valorforfreedom says but I think the mass migration that YOU defend was and is a huge mistake.

The people fled from a war. It's not like they had a choice. That war was caused by the destabilization of the region, caused by the Irak war, that was forced onto that region by western countries without any probable cause. So, if you want to be blame anyone, blame the US for starting that war.

Yes, but who runs the USA, think tanks and globalist organizations.

The common people would have never come up with the idea to invade Iraq without the corrupt mass media and political machine.

Now they bring destabilization to Europe just like they did in Iraq.

I have absolutely no interest in discussion conspiracies. The USA is a democracy and people vote for the people they want to see in power. The same is happening in Europe. So we, the people, decide what is up next.

And no, refugees do not bring "destabilization to Europe". The biggest destabilization force in Europe at the moment is the growing activity of right wing radicals. These are the people we need to fight. Racist pigs who spread lies and conspiracies.

Funny I remember when it was the left-wing who were anti-authoritarian. They would want you to question authority and the official narrative.

Now the left is authoritarian. Telling a guy like me that I'm a worthless pig because I considered a theory which was outside the main stream media and educational system.

Am I deplorable pig to you now? You only see people as black or white. It is the same with @valorforfreedom.

For @valorforfreedom I am a cuck and a coward. With you I am a deplorable pig.

This is my experience in politics. To be rejected and hated by both the right and the left.

Are you a racist? I said that racists are pigs. I didn't address you with that.

btw. i'm neither left nor right

I love animals, all the species, and all of the races. Everything has its place in the world.

I believe differences exist between the races. I found that in modern universities people consider me racist if I believe race exists.

If you are not a racist, i didn't call you a pig ;) sorry for that misunderstanding.

Let's just say that "race" is not a very popular word today. Rather use the word "ethnicity", which also makes more sense, because we are defined by more than just our genes. Most of these differences are physical, like skin color or average height, and don't influence how we act or the moral compass that we have. These things come from our culture, surroundings and situations we are faced with.

For example, the reason why there are more black people (or african americans) in US jails is not because they are more criminal, but because they are verifiably get harsher sentences for the same actions as US Americans from other ethnicities.

So, it is important to know the numbers, but also the historical and political influences to understand these numbers.

Isn't this the old "nature vs nurture" argument from psychology?

It could be possible that there are both genetic and cultural reasons.

One study shows Large Differences in Testosterone Excretion in Korean and Swedish Men ..., this is only one of many studies which shows a different bio-chemical makeup between races.


Bio-chemical differences between populations can definitely account for differences in behavior across large groups.

I don't think that makes any race or other group "bad" or "negative". What is a disadvantage in one situation can also be an advantage in another situation.

Also I recognize each individual is different so people can definitely exist outside the norm for any group.


It seems in your case you have come to the conclusion that nurture is 100% the cause of any behavior and nature is 0%.

I don't find your argument convincing because you only said it is true. You never said why it is true.

The USA is a democracy and people vote for the people they want to see in power.

That is absolutely hilarious. The United States is not a democracy, by any means. 100% of the populace could vote for person A to be president, and the electorate can decide to put person B in place instead. Fully within the rules, and the way it is meant to run.

Besides that, the only people allowed to show up as candidates have already been approved by the Council on Foreign Relations, and only have a chance if they have the support of the corporate media.

Never mind the fact that democracy is itself a terrible system, simply violent control by the majority. Any system that involves someone being in power over others (without 100% explicit, non-coerced, informed consent of every person they have power over) is absolutely invalid & morally reprehensible.

This is an old one, but one where I broke down EXACTLY how America's "democracy" works (no theories, just facts, and plenty of conspiracies): Why not voting is the only peaceful, sensible option

PS: Here's the definition of conspiracy, because anyone making a statement like "I have absolutely no interest in discussion conspiracies" clearly has no idea what the word means:

  1. A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
    1.1 The action of plotting or conspiring.

Most every single thing that governments do is conspiracy, by definition.
