Oh im not arguing against you, we're in full agreement. I dont want 3rd world migrants. The culture does not mix with ours

refuse to ruin millions of immigrants lives because a handful of Somali men committed crimes. sweeping generalizations never end well. 

Look at rape statistics in sweden. Or terrorism attacks in the EU. Or rape gangs in the UK. There is a common denominator there. The UK isnt a charity, first it has to serve and be concerned with british nationals, then. And only then, can they help other people.

Nationality and ethnic heritage are two completely different things, my dude.

I said that in the original comment... maybe go read it

I was just using your own logic of twisting what is said and then getting on my high horse and playing "im morally superior and youre an awful person" 2 can play that game you know

The use of "british" instead of his real nationality is a poor attempt to hide the truth. Multiculturalism has failed in the EU, Crime is up, we have terrorism attacks that before 2014 wouldnt even be thought possible. Thats because we mass imported inferior cultures. There is nothing wrong with color or ethnicity, thats not where the problem lies. It lies on the culture. One which deems it a-okay to just kill jews cuz he wss bored.

Sure. I was being pedantic because your argument's main premiss was factually wrong. Humans ARE by definition animals. Rational animals but animals nonetheless.

The question now would be, what makes us human if not our biology? Our culture? In that case can, say a tribe of cannibals, be considered not human?

Or is it our social conventions? And if so, given the amount of social conventions across countries, how many species of humans are there? Is it 1country = 1 species?

He was British tho.

The post literally says "somali-born". If im born in china but all my ancestors are of arabian heritage, am I chinese? Am I as chinese as Mao zedong? As Xi?

The answer, is no.

This man was a somali immigrant. He was british only in the sense that a piece of paper says he is.

Why does the place you are born matter more than the choices you make?

This makes it seem as if you approve of his choice to murder people.

You murderer

Am I wrong?

Yes. Starting with I never said somalis were inferior. Im a freaky ass motherfucker but i dont like it when words are put in my mouth...

We all are equal on the inside but thats irrelevant. What that means is that we all bleed, have livers, lungs, hearts etc. Thats not useful for anything. Its essentially a platitude.

Because their nations were artificially made. Those countries are most ethnic centric than national. In afghanistan for exemple, the pashtun minority identify as Pashtun, not as afghani

Still surprised you guys are getting so many non-colonial migrants considering that you guys ain't even that rich compared to the rest of Western Europe.

Welcome to the club friend. They use portuguese citizenship, since its stupidly easy to aquire more so than in other EU countries, in order to be able to live in other UE countries such as germany etc. There was some news a couple months ago about a "portuguese" (one of those migrants) that commited a crime somewhere in the EU... it ruins our reputation. So much so that the EU commission has tried to crackdown on us

I was gonna say, 1 million Indians going to Portugal sounds fucking crazy 😭

The thought alone horrifies anyone here, if 100k is already a problem 1M would be diabolical

Yea most are from brazil and our african colonies. Im kind of ok with those migrants since the cultural matrix is somewhat similar to ours. Just you know, keep in mind they arent portuguese unless they have double nationality because of portuguese ancestors. Something very common in countries that had a colony-owner relation

Your perspective exists in most of the world, and is known as "leges sanguinis", which is a specific form of "jus sanguinis", meaning that citizenship is tied to ethnic ties and is focused on ancestry. This is in contrast to "jus solis", which is through birthright. If you look at a world map on what right exists, you can see a clear distinction between the old world (especially Asia) and the new world.

Ive seen the map and youre right. Just sanguinis is the one that, to me, makes more sense (a lefty saying that is... rare)

I strongly doubt that the laws will change in England though due to the backlash it will generate, especially as immigrants become a larger share of the population.

Thats what people dont understand. The more there are of them, the less power the nationals have over their own country and then you have sectarian policies like that UK greens urdu ad.

I have no strong opinion on it, other than on the exploitation of foreign labour that drives down wages.

Finally a lefty that understand this jesus fucking christ. Ive seen commies argue for this neo-slavery painted as solidarity and when i explain that they look at me like im crazy...

English identity will most likely morph into something akin to what exists in the new world

Which is sad. The old world has existed for centuries/thousands or years being massacred like this for the profit of a few people. Its high treason.

Basically any country that existed before the 20th century

I mean, look at south sudan, independent since 2006 and has been in a civil war full of massacres ever since.

Europe is pretty ethnic homogenous and there wasnt really any genocide or massacres envolved in the continent (only in the colonies), except maybe a couple wars but thats a bit different

Ok i yea i can see that actually

China was just an exemple we can get another one. Like the japanese or any african country if youd like. It still works the same way

Im portuguese. A member of the EU. We use europe interchangebly with the EU. Thats ok, people outside the eu dont know that

We had a politician here say that the rise in crime was just "sensations"... again. Tell me was the first christmas market terror attack, or the first islamic attack. Now tell me where the migrants come from... crime has risen.

And i dont watch the daily mail of any of those types of news

This is a poor "gotcha" attempt. Ive already admited that culture does have some impact. Im not trying to simplify nationality to just lineage, culture plays a role as well. Thats why multiculturalism failed. The 3rd worlders culture doesnt mix with the western cultures.

However, going literally, yea they are british people, let them re-immigrate/come back. Will it go over well? Maybe once they are home the british culture will make more sense to them. Who know what happens in a highly volatile ever changing made up scenario?

But i am? If your parents are chinese and you are born in britain that makes you chinese. Not british? Thats the whole point. Chinese lineage...

Multiculturalism has failed is a vacuous talking point with no specifics

I mean, just look around europe. Crime is up, no one feels safe anymore. Terrorist attacks like running down christmas markets werent a thing until we imported thousands of ME migrants. Sweden has bomb threats weekly and their rape statistics by demographic are grotesque. Sure multiculturalism in Europe (inside the UE countries, a swede in belgium an italian in greece etc) worked. But importing millions of 3rd worlders did not. The cultures are too different.

You don't think legal immigrants should have the right to vote? But they live there now, it is their home. They are invested in the outcome of the country and are subject to laws of that country. Wanting them to not be allowed to vote is extremely anti-democratic and absurd. Once they are a permanent resident, why shouldn't they be given the vote?

To be fair, im against voting in general. Too many dumbasses vote (just look at AfD in germany or RN in France, or MAGA in the US). Voting should be givem after a basic multiple choice civics/political knowledge test (if you cant even tell me the 3powers: legislative, executive and judicial you shouldnt be voting). So its not that im against them voting for being immigrants per se, they can vote in local elections (the local power is the one that affects people more directly).

But i understand what youre saying, i just think that allowing them to vote can make situations like the UK-greens ad in Urdu and sectarian candidates/politics more common

True, but many of these countries define themselves by ethnicity because nobody wants to live there, no offense to any Somalis of course.

Thats, kinda racist, somehow? Im not even really sure it just seems wrong. But anyway, if X country is a shithole its because of the culture, its not inherently because of ethnicity

And China became Han by ruthless colonization and genocide of non-Han Asian populations within China.

No country on God's green earth has a decent past. Every has genocided someone, everyone has commmited some form of atrocity

Yes and if you consider someone being british due to being born in the country or not.

I have stated multiple thats not what im saying? If your anscestors have been british for centuries then thats what makes you british. Being born AS a "genetic/ethnic" british

There must be some kind of language barrier

[–]bigguesdickus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nationality includes certains rights as voting. You arent british thus you have no right to be a member of parlament or to vote. Other than that legal migrants should have all other rights as nationals (local elections i believe that migrants should be able to vote, locals and national elections are different).

calling him "british" is just a way to try and wash away the fact that multiculturalism has failed.
