I've said immigration is now more like colonisation. From last week: "More people from Nepal settled in Australia last year than from the United Kingdom... Tara Gaire ... said he felt very at home in Melbourne’s multicultural environment. 'We catch up with community members, we go to the temple, it doesn’t feel like we’re overseas.'"What an appalling hypocrite:
Bolt was born in Adelaide, his parents being newly-arrived Dutch migrants.His parents were the right colour though, hey?
I mean, he doesn't even have fear of Muslim terrorism from Nepal as a basis for his snide insult:
According to the 2011 census, 81.3% of the Nepalese population is Hindu, 9.0% are Buddhist, 4.4% are Muslim, 3.0% are Kiratist (indigenous ethnic religion), 1.4% are Christian, 0.1% are Sikhs, 0.1% are Jains and 0.7% follow other religionsAnd, he's an agnostic himself, so he can hardly be concerned that Christianity is being displaced - what does it matter to him if it is?
It comes down to a creepy Pauline Hanson line - "they're different and I don't it."
He has become appalling stupid and a deep embarrassment to the Right side of politics.

ReplyDeleteGraeme, why do you bother? I can virtually guarantee that if you mention the word "Jew" (or make a clear reference to them) your comment is going to deleted as soon as I can to it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, didn't your "rational" approach to migration involve bringing lots of attractive Asian women to Australia for the benefit of lonely Australian men (like, ahem, you)? Or am I thinking of someone else from Catallaxy?
I am an agnostic also and used to be a hard-core atheist. But I think we ought to be taking in Christians who are currently being persecuted the world over.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of citizenship is that we want a coherent enough population that we feel an almost familial need to look after each-other and watch each-others back. Basically we've lost that and we have also lost a banking system that can provide jobs for the new guys. So the idea is to reduce immigration, until we can get banking reform. When we get banking reform and have labour shortages we should be bringing people in with a view to a coherent patriotic nation. People who support surplus budgets, and egalitarian small government. Not people who hate science and go in for international rather than local loyalties.
You can have different races, but its difficult. You can still lead the good life in a mult-racial setup but in order to do so you need rational leaders like Lee Kwan Yew or Mahatir. You cannot just be having lunatic internationalists like Turnbull, destroying everything that is important to Australians.
People kind of accepted multi-racial immigration in the service of diversity. That made sense in the 1970's but it makes no sense now because to encourage the same trends in immigration means to WIPE OUT DIVERSITY. Every city becomes a polyglot version of the Bronx. Every city in all Western countries achieves a sameness. The trend is not your friend. We had too many people from Italy and Greece. About around 1990, apart from the Greek/Italy oversupply I think we had it about right. The standard should be where we were in about 1990. People from all over. Salt and Pepper, Sugar and spice. But these things are supposed to be a sprinkling. Not a replacement. We are choking on spices.
ReplyDeleteWhat if we took the Angus, the Scottish Highland breed, the Jersey, The Frisian ...... We take every bovine breed and mix them together? Is that diversity? No its a crime against diversity within animal husbandry. Its a genocide of the different breeds. But then again what if we forbid the farmers to mix breeds? That too is no good. Both these things are no good.
I'm big in favour of miscegenation and mixed race people are often more beautiful creatures than Anglo-Saxon-Romano-Celts like myself. They enjoy a covering over of accumulating genetic mutations. These West Indians with some whitey ancestry are very aesthetically pleasing people for example. But in the west we don't need to actively promote this any more because miscegenation is absolutely assured. Marriage immigration is quite sufficient to keep this practice going if you were somehow worried about losing it.
But do we really want to lose all the Bushmen? All the Han Chinese? The coming scaling down on Han Chinese well below 400 million is no tragedy but do we really want to lose them all? If the answer is "no" its a racist undertaking to also want to breed out all Yamnaya aka whitey.
All these plots and schemes to do this are evil. The Malay people might like their Chinese, Indian and other neighbours that the British Empire foisted on them. But I think that most of them would agree that they were brought in, in too greater numbers. To call out such sentiments as racist is just sickening. Its evil. Same with Fiji. Any normal Fijian will understand that too many Indians were brought in for the interests of the Fijians. Not that a few skilled and hard-working Indians would be a bad thing. But you get too much of a good thing. Its no good for the incumbents.
Any Koori will understand that the white man came here at a speed that wasn't helpful to the Koori. A slower immigration rate could have enhanced their lives, but as it happened, Koori populations they were very badly damaged.
This is the same story all the way around.
It is simply racist dogwhistling to people who are really really stupid but very passionate.
ReplyDeleteGet off the proton pump inhibitors and phase out the blood pressure pills Homer. You've lost your capacity for independent thought. Its all gone now. You are just goose-stepping in your sleep.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Quiggins medicine cabinet as well. He's got the right idea about banking. But his more open-minded thoughts on other matters is caving in slowly.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't less if we did. Identity based on cultural heritage or genes is nonsense, we are not determined by those things. Human populations will be shifting forever now because travel and immigration is so common. In spite of that if you look at genetic maps it is surprising how closely those can match national boundaries. Over coming generations those boundaries, driven possibly just be language and legal issues restricting marriage across borders, might become more permeable.
You might not care one way or another. But some people do care and have made it clear that they want to get rid of all these people.
