My solution isn't laissez faire. I want to force the movement of oversea labor to go hand in hand with increasing standard of living. But protecting unskilled labor the way that's been suggested is just another way of saying that you think winning the vaginal lottery and being born in the US means you should somehow get a leg up on all the other unskilled labor in the world. I don't buy it.

The endgame of this attitude is racial/ethnic loyalties replacing national loyalties. Once you've given up on nationalism, you've given up your ability to say "Let's ignore race and culture, we're all American after all". We are already seeing a retreat to this already (not just white nationalism, black nationalism and other groups are getting in the game), and there's no reason the trend will reverse anytime soon.

Also as a side note, if American citizenship is nothing special anymore and open borders are great, the US should stop taxing US citizens overseas, making it easier to escape US taxation if the desire to emigrate came about.

LITERAL WHITE SUPREMACIST

rkajdi posted:

A pathetic white supremacist who's posting history is fully of talking how the "elites" are letting immigrants in and "undermining white communities" appears and supports your position. If that isn't enough to tell you that you are the wrong side of history, I don't know what is.

Who is it that determines economic and immigration policies if not the elites? Globalism (capitalism) has created greater economic equality but it has also established, enriched, and empowered the native capitalist and bourgeoisie classes to establish a concrete and entrenched capitalist system in all corners of the world. The end result of this is the empowerment and reification of the capitalist system on a global scale in a way that didn't exist in the post colonial/cold war era.

This line of thought is not really leftist or socialist, it's a form of capitalist racial equality, and beyond that in this case, it's specifically anti-white. The goal above all others is the destruction of white identity as it exists now through an alliance (in the ideological sense) with global Capitalism.

I dunno. The US has done a pretty piss poor job of keeping its culture "safe" from migration waves. IMO this is a good thing, of course, since the addition of immigrant communities has been a huge boon to the US economy. Half the reason why the US motion picture industry (which is often shown as the spearhead of US cultural hegemony) took off is because of the initial work done by Jewish immigrants and children of immigrants when it was an "illegitimate" job and thus unworthy of the established white community. The reason US culture tends to do well is because it tends to absorb parts from other cultures and is syncretic in ways that for instance European culture just isn't currently. If the way you assimilate cultures is to make part of their culture yours, I'm not sure that's drowning out so much as just having a combination of the two. I'll also be the first to admit that we haven't done perfectly with this-- look at the Native Americans for a great example of the US stomping the living gently caress out of another culture and not really combining with it. But the way to remove the artificial barriers between people is going to be accepting that what ends up existing is a combination of the two, and that end of the difference is a good thing not a bad one.
I'm talking current US culture, which now constitutes a larger group relative to immigrant groups, and which through its media has at its disposal a much stronger assimilationist tool than it used to. I also think you're romanticizing how the US absorbed immigrants, the concerted pressure to stamp out cultures of questionable loyalty (Germans and other northern Europeans which were lumped in with them during WW1) has resulted in way less syncreticism than if those cultures had been allowed to integrate peacefully over time, and that's a pretty sizable chunk of modern Americans.

Also, you're underestimating the strength of US culture, which is powerful enough to partially assimilate people outside its borders. In a free-for-all scenario, many smaller cultures would no longer be able to remain the focus for their own syncretic absorption within their own cultural borders, when in direct competition with the American (or possibly Chinese) juggernaut. Basically, new arrivals would just become English/Chinese speakers, if they weren't already, and the natives would just go along with it because hey, why not, that's easier for everyone involved.

imo it's basically younger people who

1) Don't really give a poo poo about economic issues, maybe a few leans left on them
2) Don't really give a poo poo about religion
3) Sees "political correctness" as the ultimate demon (even more than Islam)
4) Most of all, feel a sense of white victimhood, that the current state of American culture, especially in traditional liberal enclaves are de facto racist against white christians and are so concentrated on outdated racial struggles that they are naive about encroaching threats like Muslims
5) Misogyny, very much in line with their belief that blacks or browns have a leg up on whites, they believe that women have a leg up on men. In reality this is heavily related to their inability to get girlfriends in their teens/college years, leading them to believe that female has disproportionate power over men.


In reality they are simply regressing to the mean of modern right wing movements, American conservatism is really quite unique in their ability to veil over white identity politics with libertarian economic ideas. The Alt-Right is only an American phenomenon because they would simply be "the right" or "the far right" in most European countries. Along with their counterparts in say Germany, this group of people as a political force has serious problem with attracting women or minorities into their fold because their ideas are so explicitly based on resentment of them.

I would imagine they'd all get their teeth kicked in by the Euro Right, however.

In a lot of ways, the alt-right *is* the Euro-style far-right. Less emphasis on hating the poors, and more emphasis on bigotry, racism and extreme nationalism. However, the hatred of women and feminists is uniquely its own - the Euro right is more laser-focused on race and religion.

It really isn't. In fact, the far right in Europe are able to get so much support is because they are in favor programs that benefit the lower class (but only those belonging to the right ethno-national identity). The bigotry and extreme nationalism is what happens when we follow the type of economic policy this thread wants to and expect people to just accept being screwed over because "it's not your turn."

Yeah that's one thing I like about European Conservatism. The "welfare state" is not a dirty word there. Advocating leaving sick people to die in the street is not okay there. Giving those dying sick people a Bible instead of actual help is not okay there. The Far Right groups might be taking it...well, farther but they're still not as insane as our Right Wingers.

And specifically when we compare them with the Alt-Right, the Alt-Right looks even more pathetic than it is. Obviously they take pride in being "different" from the mainstream Right, possibly indulging delusions of being against the establishment. They are armchair revolutionaries, or maybe desk chair revolutionaries. Meanwhile, the Euro Far Right actually are doing stuff.

Euro-fascists don't want foreigners of any sort. They have the superpower of being able to discriminate against other lily-white people, for instance Poles or Romanians or Irish travellers. Foreigners who look different are even worse, of course.

One thing Euro-fascists don't generally care about is religion. A lot of them are like the alt-right, die-hard atheists. This doesn't stop them discriminating *hard* against Muslims or Hindus or Jews, but they aren't personally religious. Except when defending cultural stuff like racist Christmas parades.

Oh they are undoubtedly white. When non-whites go into "gently caress whitey" mode, they actually have a plan to re-enfranchise whatever group they're trying to help; white people who do it just want to punish other white people for making them look bad and prove how totally not racist they are.

On top of that, there's a sense of self-assuredness that a policy will just naturally evolve into an egalitarian system that can really only come from a white privileged perspective.

The thing I've noticed about the alt-right is that, most likely because of its internet nerd user base, they always try to give it a veneer of intellectualism by pointing to "thinkers" or "speakers" who espouse the same crap, that really just feeds their own sense of intellectual superiority.

The only time you ever see Euro-fascists mention religion is when it comes as a rallying cry about a traditional identity being used, like when people say, "Since when is Muslim a race?" but you know full well they don't give a poo poo about Christian Arabs, either.

Edit: I remember Pat Buchanan a year or two ago, lamenting "Catholic" immigration, knowing full well that he and his entire family is staunchly Catholic.

But you guys (are you European? Just kind of assuming) are the ones with the hate speech laws. I think that's actually a really awesome concept.

He went to Botswana and tried to pull that poo poo and they very politely kicked his rear end right out of their country.
