assuming the unrest over equality is based in fact, in addition to being unethical doing this costs too much. you don't have enough police, enough jails, or enough productivity when you're done with it. better to stop enforcing laws unfairly, if you can. if you can't, then yes the market corrections tend to happen outside of the state's "monopoly" on violence, which increasingly looks less like monopoly. that's a bad path, for obvious reasons.
You can always hire more police and build more jails. Technology also allows more surveillance with less manpower.
Buddy, you provided the Wikipedia link. Assuming that was the source you wanted to provide, it explicitly defines it as "white". I'm sure there are primary sources referenced that validate the claim.
That's like saying Biafra was a black ethnostate. It was an Ibo ethnostate, Ibos happen to be black. It was about the Ibo ethnicity, not the black race, just like I'm about the Afrikaner ethnicity, not the white race.
Erm per Capita our immigration rate was double America's.
My condolences.
25% population growth between 2000-2022. I don't think USA took in 75 million migrants in that time frame.
What we do have is universal healthcare, welfare, and help with social housing.
Why do you take so many uitlanders in?
It's under a lot of pressure atm but we never have had ghettoes and things like that even in the great depression (unemployment rate was about half of USA then).
So we dodged the worse effects of inequality so far. It's not perfect of course.
You could have done even better if you never let them in in the first place.
Apartheid was unsustainable you can't treat the majority like crap for so long without consequences. Your system will collapse one way or another.
Yes, I have even admitted that apartheid was unsustainable.
Hmmmm yes hmmm. What is words? What are definitions?
Perhaps not the thread for recursive questions.
I wish I had more positive reasons, but the honest truth is that the present developed world is sleepwalking into a worst case scenario climate crisis and I hope that it won't take the destruction of the present concentrations of wealth and power to do something about it, but it might.
Theres your answer. My desire for a radical redistribution within society is partly out of hope that it will be functional. My hope is that a flatter society will be able to make the decision to not destroy itself, whereas the current decision making process cannot do this as those in power are willing to accept being captain of a ship where everything but their bridge has sunk beneath the waterline.
I only have the evidence of what doing nothing will do and it is increasing my tolerance of political risk.
Its the south africa thread dude. You're kind of doing it by who you're defending. That and the US is only 30 years better than SA, but keep on throwing that centuries word about.
There are plenty of states I wouldn't trust to do it. One can hope that internally hostile states can be reformed.
When you look at demographic, cultural, and political trends in the modern world, you will begin to understand why I'm not so bothered a climate crisis. By and large, the world is past the point where it's worth saving. Just being honest.
Not sure about this tbh, the US only has about 12% to 15% of its population born abroad, compared to NZ's 27%. The US is not a particularly high migration country these days.
Not sure why New Zealand lets so many in.
What's Aussie numbers? I assume it's closer to NZ than USA.
Auckland is about 40% foreign.
Yikes.
