It is the most profound irony that by surrendering our lands to mass 3rd world immigration, even brain-washing ourselves into believing we deserve to be replaced, Whites will not be offered the same altruism in return upon becoming minorities. See Sweden as the most extreme example of this phenomenon taking place.
You know Europe's had waves of immigration before, right? The Middle Easterners living here are quite mellow. They're kind of a hybrid people, having Western and Middle-Eastern values. We mostly leave each other alone though. I'd say it's where we failed the most: the inability to fix the problem of segregation. But integration seems like an ideal now, because people will always wander towards their ingroups. Anyway, using the word "surrendering" and "replacing" shows how badly affected you are by right wing propaganda. What's the % of non-native people in European countries you think? And the problem you present is WAY more complex than you think. For starters, we need to deal with a starkly rising aging population, while also having to deal with middle class people not wanting to do the basic jobs (who's gonna wash the fucking dishes, or clean up your shit when every privileged child wants to go to college?). The fact is, we NEED influx, because we won't be able to sustain. The mass immigration was a disaster we couldn't foresee and handled badly, but let me ask you this: do you honestly believe that right wing people would've solved the issue better? Did they have the answers? Yes actually, the right-wing had the correct answers. It involved protecting our borders instead of allowing the mass influx of culturally-incompatible young men to rape our women en masse (see Cologne as just one example), while also dramatically spiking murders and terrorism. What we needed was to limit the welfare state while encouraging Europeans to boost their reproduction rates with lower taxes and an emphasis on family values instead of cancerous third-wave feminism. Over the next decade, roughly one third of our workforce is going to be replaced by automation. Which jobs in particular? The very ones you described, but also transportation. Y'know, truck driving and other jobs that don't require high education. Why then would you support the mass importation of unskilled third world migrants if they have no job prospects and are destined to leech off the welfare state? That's what happened in Germany: 1.2 million refugees over the past two years and only 38,000 have found jobs. Automation is survival of the fittest because you cannot stop progress. Isn't that what Leftists have been trying to tell every rust-belt coal miner who voted for Trump? Which begs the question: whose side are you really on when you claim to fight for the working class -- the people already struggling for work in Europe or the hordes of migrants eager to replace them? Would you be content with African capital cities being flooded with White immigrants until Blacks became minorities? Based on your previous arguments regarding White Colonialism, the answer would be no. So drop your bullshit about right-wing propaganda and admit already that the reverse scenario of Europe being colonized is true. Perhaps if pressured enough, you'll concede that the West IS being conquered, but you're simply indifferent due to a pathological hatred for the White race and it's wretched "patriarchy." I've seen this pattern many times before. We let them in because they needed us. Most of them will be thankful in the future. Only a handful will try to fuck us up. And while they'll cut into us, they won't cut deep enough to hit something vital. You are so woefully naive. Based on our current trajectory, Western Europe and Sweden are doomed to become an Islamic Caliphate by end of the century thanks to mass migration and significant disparities in reproduction rates. This Pew Research report gives us an appropriate outlook but only scratches the surface since it doesn't account for illegal or non-white immigration in general, only legal-Islamic. http://www.pewforum.org/2017/11/29/europes-growing-muslim-population/?utm_content=buffer53c40&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Oh no, they will make up a whopping 14% of the population in 30 years. Or 7%. It could go either way. Fucking crisis time. Not like Europe has been coexistening with Muslims for centuries. 31% of Sweden's population in 30 years and nearly 20% of Germany, France, Belgium and the U.K. Europe has NEVER been faced with a Muslim demographic crisis as severe as this. How can you be so naive otherwise? Once their population grows large enough to elect their own political parties to office, there will be nothing stopping them from governing Sharia Law. It make take 70, 80 or 90 years yet, but this change is inevitable and even their Imam's themselves are aware of this. They don't shy away from gloating about their inevitable conquest either. Our grandchildren will never forgive us for selling out their future just to virtue-signal about tolerance and diversity. I feel like schools have done a poor job of explaining the Ottoman Empires existence and explains that there are 1.5 billions Muslims in the world. We've made it through all of human history with a lot of Muslims in and around Europe. There are huge swaths of the world with bunches of Muslims and no Sharia Law. Also Sharia Law is just common law for Muslims.
But we get it: the brown people who pray 5 times a day are scary.

Demography is destiny. They will replace us and subjugate Europe in time because European culture has become weak and submissive.

Try convincing the Israelis to have open borders and invite the entire third world into their country like Sweden has. Surely they wouldn't mind becoming minorities in their homelands to a fatally hostile Muslim population? Diversity is our strength, after all. It's not like Israel would cease to exist as a Jewish homeland or anything . . .

Yes, let people who run from war and poverty die in the area we've meddled with. Fuck other people! Cologne was sexual assault. I didn't know groping women was equal to rape. I bet you've never had a culture shock. It doesn't excuse them, but in the context of their strict prude culture, it makes a bit more sense. Show me number of how dramatic the spike in terror and murder has become since they've arrived, please. I agree with you on family values, however. The problem is still not solved by people wanting to reproduce. And it's especially not solved by abolishing a welfare state, because both people in a relationship already need to work full time. you'd either have to increase wages, or give tax breaks or give subsidies, because core family values AND 2+ children per family don't go well with the current economic situation. Dumping the children in a creche isn't the answer either, because that kind of fucks with core family values, wouldn't it?
In 10 years we'll have a more aged populous and we'll have more children that immigrated from there. I don't see the problem with automating and getting people (among which are children) engaged in our society when they benefit us in the long run. It's not like every child from every Muslim will become a low sill low educated person. You're acting like it's going to become a huge drag, while you don't know the impact. We've had mass imports before. It's not that much of an issue ultimately. And how the fuck dare you point fingers at such a large number of people with only 2-3 years past since they came in Germany. I don't think you have any clue what it takes to adjust to a new culture, a new language, a new system, do you?
You fucking think colonialism was African countries being flooded with white people? Give it a good hard thought man. Also, we're not being exterminated or colonized,why do you think that'll ever happen? You're following a trend? You do know trends based on current statistics is very naive, right? Extrapolating current numbers don't do well compared to the actual numbers so many years don't the line, so stop hyperventilating over the so feared self destruction of the EU.
And lastly, let me ask you this: what if Europe would be replaced with another culture, or let's not even say culture, but let's just say people that are traditionally not like white people. What's the big deal? Can you elaborate why other people are worse than your people? Is it an innate fear of losing what "we" have built over the last couple of centuries? It's just something I've thought about myself and I can't really seem to place it that well yet, would love your insight on it.
Edit to add some more: not all Muslims are the same, by the way. Coming from different regions they'll have different ways of wanting to live their lives and they won't suddenly all band together to form a super Muslim alliance banishing all the other already set political parties. It's just naive thinking Muslim people all get along on every level simply because they're Muslim. Just in my city, in my Belgian, slowly Muslimifying city (as you are fearing it to be), the Turks don't get along with the Moroccans. Some do, most don't. I'm also pretty sure the Turks or Moroccans themselves have different ways of looking at life within their own communities. You've never met a Muslim in your life, have you?

How do you propose to stop Sharia Law when Whites are a minority in their own countries? I expect the same thing to happen as has happened in most immigration throughout history (as opposed to imperialistic colonisation): the majority of the immigrants from the Middle East will become more like the existing Europeans and have no interest on enforcing the more extreme aspects of their previous culture upon others. Will there be some exceptions? Certainly, but that doesn't change the overall outcome.
Try convincing the Israelis to have open borders and invite the entire third world into their country like Sweden has. Surely they wouldn't mind becoming minorities in their homelands to a fatally hostile Muslim population? Diversity is our strength, after all. It's not like Israel would cease to exist as a Jewish homeland or anything . . . If an external force somehow dropped a Native American nation in the middle of the US, forcibly relocated the existing populace, et cetera, I imagine the United States would be pretty shitty about that - and the question of who 'deserves' to own that land wouldn't be especially morally clear-cut.

And if you bothered to study the overwhelming amount of attempted Jihads into Europe, especially when the Ottomans were routed at the gates of Vienna in 1683 thanks only to the Winged Hussars thus saving Europe from Islamic conquest, you'd understand just how fortunate Western civilization was in its self-preservation up until the 20th century. But if you're so thoroughly convinced that Ottoman rule wasn't all that bad, just ask the Greeks. They've had to endure centuries of it.
And then there's Lebanon -- a cautionary tale for what happens to multicultural societies when Islamists are allowed to seize power. (Spoiler alert: it ends very badly for Christians and Jews).
In the U.K. alone, nearly a quarter of the Muslim population supports Sharia Law. It is only through useful idiots such as yourself supporting open borders that their conquest is made possible. Europe would not have survived Jihadism for so long otherwise.

The Caliphate also gifted the Europeans, who were too busy trying to kill each other, with a bajillion things as well. At what point do you think China was capable of conquering and enslaving the world? This is the most egregious historical misstatement I've seen so far, with the possible exception of the rest of your post. The Yuan dynasty was really "we were conquered and ruled by the Mongols (who mostly left us alone)" so I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no idea how you're equating the Mongols capturing both China and their western territories with the Yuan dynasty taking over the world. That makes literally no sense. Next I bet you'll be telling me about the time India saved Europe from the Nazis during WW2.
Probably at various points near the height of several dynasties. So a few centuries or so? During the Tang dynasty, the Yuan dynasty, probably the Ming as well. As an example of how far ahead China was, about a hundred years before Columbus sailed 3 dinky little ships to the Americas, Zheng He (a Muslim eunuch) led an fleet of 300 ships and tens of thousands of men to modern-day Somalia.
You do realize the Yuan dynasty was literally composed of the descendants of Genghis Khan, right? And that his other descendants ran the other khanates around Asia and the Middle East.
Your post is so wrong it's actually funny.

I really wish there was a block feature, I like a fair portion of the discussion here, but when 3 pages disappear to arguing with a literal white supremacist my blood pressure doesn't do too well trying to sift through it. Blocking or banning the kind of trolls that think other ideas are white supremacy would save time and pages of scrolling. If you want to put this quote in the "other ideas" basket and defend it as such, you are no better. The Dark Ages were certainly a bad time, too, but the point is that Europe got past them. Africa never did, in spite of being essentially "gifted" with all of the know-how of how to do so during the colonial period. I'm not in favor reestablishing colonialism in Africa because I don't think that you can forcibly "civilize" a people (just look at all of the disasters of American "nation-building"), but it doesn't change the fact that Kipling was onto something with his poem. This is really your stopping off place for white supremacy? An opinion on civilizational low points between locations? It’s a wonder you think anything is worthy of debate, or that you’d survive in society thinking so many are practically Nazis surrounding you. But this does illustrate internet tough guy memes, when you actually behave less absurd in your own bubble. Your refusal to see subtext, narrative or implication in daunt's statements (which deliberately omit huge amounts of context and history to make that narrative work) doesn't mean it isn't there. Your blindness or deliberate ignorance of racism and white supremacy doesn't mean it isn't there. To give you totally undue benefit of the doubt, I'll make an example of what I mean, and if you can't see why his statement is clearly white supremacy, that's on you. Here we go, the one chance I'll give you, because I don't have the energy for this crap ------------------------------- I'm South African, so I know the context here a lot better than most of you arguing about it academically. I LIVE this place every day, and interact with people affected by it regularly. Apartheid only ended in 1994, the "born free" have barely entered tertiary education and the workplace. ~90% of the population was heavily disadvantaged by multiple generations of deliberately crap ("Bantu") education. Major cities have had populations moved back and forth, with people of colour being packed into slums and losing all established property time and again. So collectively wealth distribution is totally screwed up, with a substantial amount of the money generated by industry and natural resources immediately leaving the country, or going to mining magnates and such, without it ever influencing local economies (in large part due to colonial history, having a system set up where half your potential economy gets siphoned away is not a gift) Further, due to intense crowding after population redistribution in rural areas, a lot of farm land has been destroyed by overgrazing. So again, you can't use any of that "imperial wisdom" or whatever the fresh fuck daunt is talking about, because you literally can't use much of the land as a direct result of colonial policies. Back to the education thing, the situation is that people of colour (again, 90% of population) have been forcibly denied a usable education (with varying degrees of this depending on "how far from white" the group in question was deemed to be). How can a country be expected to use all that "colonial knowledge" when that is not at all what the population was given? There was no trade, no way in which the interference of colonial powers gave back, none of that was imparted. It's not even that no attempt was made, the population was deliberately, across generations, denied any chance to seek that. And then, when apartheid ends, the new ruling party comes into a system with a totally uneducated majority population, spread across a huge country with terrible rural infrastructure. With no existing government structure in place, and a population that is incredibly susceptible to populism (and incredibly poor), no shit corruption wins out. Every possible check and balance either doesn't exist or has been actively torn out by the previous colonial system. It's like letting go of a whole arrangement of glassware 10 feet above the ground and crapping the system out for not catching it all with two hands. ------------------------------- So given that, when daunt talks about how Africa just didn't recover despite having access to some or other aspect of western culture or whatever, and deliberately ignores WHY, and then follows it up with this: Show nested quote +I'm not in favor reestablishing colonialism in Africa because I don't think that you can forcibly "civilize" a people The only conclusion that makes any sense, putting the pieces together daunt has very very very clearly laid out (his opinion on those in Africa as being uncivilized + his observation that Africa did not economically recover after colonialism) is racial / cultural supremacy. And given the fucking huge spread of different cultures and societies in Europe and Africa, and the very common practice of racists to hide behind arguments of culture, I see no reason to give any benefit of the doubt. The quote I put above, for example, is so disgustingly callous. The reason he doesn't think Africa should experience colonialism again (responsible for some of the worst atrocities of last two centuries) is not because of the people's lives it will destroy (if he considers the people it would affect people at all) but because those people can't be civilized.I really hope that that helped spell it out for you. I'm not doing so again. So you’re saying he’s ignorant of the true story to why Africa didn’t adopt European norms and flourish. Then you assert that it’s deliberate and due to white supremacy. I think I understand you quite well in the African post-colonialism time period. Your final attribution of motives is still definitely lacking. You need racial animus, not cultural misunderstanding, for white supremacy.

I guess I could add "bashing that candidate alone won't do it" to make it clearer... but I'm 50/50 on whether this is genuine confusion or deliberate obtuseness because in context it should be obvious what I mean. This is my read of the conversation: Position 1: Democrats are stupid for thinking that drawing attention to candidate badness will have a meaningful effect on voting. Position 2: Candidates need to offer change to meaningfully affect voting. Contrary Position A: Position 1 is incorrect. If attention was not drawn to Moore's badness, Moore would have won the election [note - this does not contradict Position 2]. Position 3: Neither Position 1 or Position 2 said candidate badness should be ignored. Position 4: Drawing attention to candidate badness is not sufficient. My position: Positions 1 and 4 are inconsistent. You offered to change position 1 to make it consistent with position 4 which is fine, but you are claiming context made it obvious even though two separate people took issue with position 1 as it was written. I can definitely see how you would see it that way, but I stand by that you seeing a contradiction is a petty semantic squabble rather than a contradiction. Position 1 as I meant it, and as it should have come off as, is “it contributes as one of the factors, but there are plenty of bad Republicans and thinking that bashing them is going to win seats is idiotic.” That message is in there. Position 2 is a follow-on to that. The rest provides a little clarification. As for others seeing it a different way: you might have a point except those “two separate people” tend to be among the most reductionist posters around and would be the first to assume the least reasonable interpretation of any given post. Either you should be able to figure it out, or know to ask for clarification. You seem to be saying "you should have understood what I meant instead of reading what I said, and you too Gorsameth." However, when he pointed out the problem with your statement, instead of clarifying the statement, you denied that the statement was incorrect (or at least misleading/unclear). I think a bit of introspection is in order here, as minor as this whole affair has been. Sigh. This seems pointless but since you're insistent enough, let's break this down so we can move on. Spoilered for those that don't really care. + Show Spoiler +Alright, so the progression of the argument is basically, using your wording: Position 1 (your version): Democrats are stupid for thinking that drawing attention to candidate badness will have a meaningful effect on voting. Position 1 (my version): Painting the opposition as bad contributes as one of the factors, but there are plenty of bad Republicans and thinking that bashing them is going to win seats is idiotic. Position 2: Candidates need to offer change to meaningfully affect voting.
Contrary Position A: Position 1 is incorrect. If attention was not drawn to Moore's badness, Moore would have won the election.
That could be valid for either version of position 1, so it's reasonable enough to want more clarification. Hence, 3 and 4. Position 3: Neither Position 1 or Position 2 said candidate badness should be ignored. Position 4: Drawing attention to candidate badness is not sufficient.
Your view: 1 and 4 are contradictory.
My response: No they're not, you just misinterpreted Position 1.
Nothing wrong as far as that goes; misunderstandings happen all the time and sometimes for whatever reason what someone says doesn't quite come out as intended. I personally think that I wrote it clearly enough, but that since any post ever is subject to being misinterpreted, asking for clarification is always an option. So:
Your interpretation of what I was saying: "you should have understood what I meant instead of reading what I said, and you too Gorsameth." What I was actually saying: "you either should have understood it, or asked for clarification." With secondary point: "your observation that others seem to have misunderstood it as well isn't really meaningful"
What you actually did, which is rather irksome, is to go 4chan-style "gotcha" with all the requisite image editing, to try to paint it as definitive evidence of a contradiction (maybe not your actual intent, definitely the way I saw it). Which is problematic for a number of reasons: 1. Kind of a really shitty way to go about things. 2. The initial disagreement died down a while ago and no one has been talking about that issue for a while. 3. The quibble is minor and could have been easily resolved if you had genuinely not figured it out from context. 4. Overall reviving the discussion is a bigger deal than the disagreement in the first place.
Hence, I label it a petty semantic squabble. And I still am not sure if you could not have genuinely figured out that that's what I meant, because it seems that you got it without issue. Which would play into the issue of deliberate ignorance as I was talking about earlier, which certain posters do a lot of around here (making the "others didn't get it" argument sort of moot).
All I really have to say beyond that is, "meh." I don't see this as worthy of any particular attention, and this response is mostly because you called me out specifically rather than because there's anything credible to talk about. Miscommunication is a reality of any discussion and if you don't get something, you should ask rather than assume. I suppose I've done the opposite a fair few times as well, to be fair.

This Pew Research report gives us an appropriate outlook but only scratches the surface since it doesn't account for illegal or non-white immigration in general, only legal-Islamic. http://www.pewforum.org/2017/11/29/europes-growing-muslim-population/?utm_content=buffer53c40&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Yes, let people who run from war and poverty die in the area we've meddled with. Fuck other people! Cologne was sexual assault. I didn't know groping women was equal to rape. I bet you've never had a culture shock. It doesn't excuse them, but in the context of their strict prude culture, it makes a bit more sense. Show me number of how dramatic the spike in terror and murder has become since they've arrived, please. I agree with you on family values, however. The problem is still not solved by people wanting to reproduce. And it's especially not solved by abolishing a welfare state, because both people in a relationship already need to work full time. you'd either have to increase wages, or give tax breaks or give subsidies, because core family values AND 2+ children per family don't go well with the current economic situation. Dumping the children in a creche isn't the answer either, because that kind of fucks with core family values, wouldn't it? In 10 years we'll have a more aged populous and we'll have more children that immigrated from there. I don't see the problem with automating and getting people (among which are children) engaged in our society when they benefit us in the long run. It's not like every child from every Muslim will become a low sill low educated person. You're acting like it's going to become a huge drag, while you don't know the impact. We've had mass imports before. It's not that much of an issue ultimately. And how the fuck dare you point fingers at such a large number of people with only 2-3 years past since they came in Germany. I don't think you have any clue what it takes to adjust to a new culture, a new language, a new system, do you? You fucking think colonialism was African countries being flooded with white people? Give it a good hard thought man. Also, we're not being exterminated or colonized,why do you think that'll ever happen? You're following a trend? You do know trends based on current statistics is very naive, right? Extrapolating current numbers don't do well compared to the actual numbers so many years don't the line, so stop hyperventilating over the so feared self destruction of the EU. And lastly, let me ask you this: what if Europe would be replaced with another culture, or let's not even say culture, but let's just say people that are traditionally not like white people. What's the big deal? Can you elaborate why other people are worse than your people? Is it an innate fear of losing what "we" have built over the last couple of centuries? It's just something I've thought about myself and I can't really seem to place it that well yet, would love your insight on it.
Let me make clear from the beginning that i think Shake is an idiot.
Since that's made clear, let me correct you in a few points. Yes. Sexual Assault equals rape before the law in quite a few european countries. Penetrating with a finger is considered rape, you do not need to stick your dick in to rape a woman. Not in germany, nor in sweden and other countries. Culture shock is the absolutely dumbest justification i've ever heard for this, even if you backtrack on it. It doesn't make sense, and your arguments in that regard are absolutely idiotic. I'm talking "Shake levels" of idiotic.
Statistics.
https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article163918666/Zahl-der-tatverdaechtigen-Zuwanderer-steigt-um-52-7-Prozent.html
That's for germany, i'm not gonna translate the entire thing, but the amount of criminal suspects under refugees rose by 53%. These numbers are from the BKA (Bundeskriminalamt, Federal criminal police office), and thereby official. Now, that's not in regards to terror, and i can't be arsed to check. This is just for little things like rape, mugging, burglaring and the like.
I don't think you have any clue what it takes to adjust to a new culture, a new language, a new system, do you?
I do. That makes the current situation even more infuriating. To adjust to something, you have to have the will to do so. If people after 10 years in germany still can barely order a coffee in an Extrablatt, .. fuck off. What it takes is the will to integrate, and that's something that is missing for at least three quarters of the people seeking refuge.
I'm not gonna get into the entire colonialism debate. I can't fathom how people can argue that colonialism did anything but fuck up africa, the same way we fucked up the middle east. Or does everyone here (by that i mean xDaunt and the likes) think that the Islam always stood for blowing shit up? Might i remind you that europeans streamed into the middle east because they were so much more liberal? Especially if you were into boys, for example?

How can you be so naive otherwise? Once their population grows large enough to elect their own political parties to office, there will be nothing stopping them from governing Sharia Law.

Also Sharia Law is just common law for Muslims. But we get it: the brown people who pray 5 times a day are scary. And if you bothered to study the overwhelming amount of attempted Jihads into Europe, especially when the Ottomans were routed at the gates of Vienna in 1683 thanks only to the Winged Hussars thus saving Europe from Islamic conquest, you'd understand just how fortunate Western civilization was in its self-preservation up until the 20th century. But if you're so thoroughly convinced that Ottoman rule wasn't all that bad, just ask the Greeks. They've had to endure centuries of it. And then there's Lebanon -- a cautionary tale for what happens to multicultural societies when Islamists are allowed to seize power. (Spoiler alert: it ends very badly for Christians and Jews). In the U.K. alone, nearly a quarter of the Muslim population supports Sharia Law. It is only through useful idiots such as yourself supporting open borders that their conquest is made possible. Europe would not have survived Jihadism for so long otherwise. That Sharia Law is very scary. Islam is the new communism for some folks. Suductive and persuasive. The Ottomans were big meanies in the 1600s, when all of Europe was in its fluffy kitten phase, burning protestant and being under divine rule.

Are these surveys similar to the U.S. surveys where they allow them to define the Sharia Law they support and the vast majority of respondents say it's living your life in accordance with your interpretation of the Qor'an? Those are my favorite, because Donald Trump cited them but didn't read them and the similar surveys of U.S. Christians actually broke down nearly the same way with folks believing Christianity should supersede the law at about the same rate.

I know they're much more sexually repressed down there and they look way more down on women. This coupled with sexual frustration and the fact that women here are more liberal (take that in whatever sense you want), I guess this can make people become sexual predators. I'm just trying to find a reason 'why' they're doing it. My immediate guess was they couldn't handle the sexual nature of our culture. Anyway, the thing in Cologne was still bad; but I thought i was less severe. I stand corrected.
Will for integrating is different when you're segregated from the start, m4ini. Getting into a native speaking community, perpetuating native culture makes you feel like you're not estranged anymore. It's a reason why so many different communities in every culture exist and they barely intersect with other communities. To put it all at the expense of "wanting to integrate" is a little harsh and oversimplifying the problem imo.

Position 2 is a follow-on to that. The rest provides a little clarification.

Nothing wrong as far as that goes; misunderstandings happen all the time and sometimes for whatever reason what someone says doesn't quite come out as intended.

The only reason why it even got my attention was because someone else pointed out the problem with what you said, and you responded that 'nobody said it' even though I still see that you plainly said it.
Also, "The initial disagreement died down a while ago and no one has been talking about that issue for a while." is not a fair point because this is not a chat room, it's a forum thread. This thread does move really fast, but it's not really fair to expect people to always be around to respond to something within a few minutes.

So how would you explain away the shittiness of pre-colonial Africa? Its fucking super hot there and its hard to grow crops. The same with some regions of North America pre colonies, except harsh winters were the real killer. Civilizations advanced at different rates depending on the environment they existed in. That super dope regions where Greece and Rome started, prime early civilization real estate. That land by the river in Egypt, also prime early civilization real estate.

So how would you explain away the shittiness of pre-colonial Africa? Like compared to the Dark Ages of Europe? The dark ages were super shit. People overlook that era and the 20 crusades just to export warlords and assholes to the south. I don't think xDaunt thinks Egypt counts as Africa. That or he doesn't believe the Code of Hammurabi was a big deal. babylon isnt really in africa though? Excellent, the A-team is finally here. Would you mind making the proper counter-argument for all of these lost leftists?
actually i thought our south african friend did a fine job of doing that, which i appreciate because i dont find your arguments here to be worth taking seriously. i mean come on man. saying post war japan had it worse than postcolonial africa? complete bollocks

This is the most egregious historical misstatement I've seen so far, with the possible exception of the rest of your post. The Yuan dynasty was really "we were conquered and ruled by the Mongols (who mostly left us alone)" so I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no idea how you're equating the Mongols capturing both China and their western territories with the Yuan dynasty taking over the world. That makes literally no sense. Next I bet you'll be telling me about the time India saved Europe from the Nazis during WW2. Probably at various points near the height of several dynasties. So a few centuries or so? You do realize the Yuan dynasty was literally composed of the descendants of Genghis Khan, right? And that his other descendants ran the other khanates around Asia and the Middle East. You realize the Khans weren't even Chinese? I feel like I shouldn't have to tell you this but China then and China now are made up of different territories and peoples. That makes the Khans as Chinese as I am Iraqi (I'm an American of European descent). Even the Chinese don't equate the Yuan dynasty with the Mongol Empire ffs.
Way to give a specific answer on the bold. The point is that no civilization was capable of long distance overseas colonization until the 15th or 16th century, and by that time there was no way the Ming dynasty could have conquered Europe from the other side of the world, even if it wanted to.
Unless you're trying to tell me that the Ming was going to successfully march from China though the Ottoman Empire, and all the way to Western Europe and also defeat all of them from halfway across the world in the 14th century. Right. I'm the crazy one here.

Based on your previous arguments regarding White Colonialism, the answer would be no. So drop your bullshit about right-wing propaganda and admit already that the reverse scenario of Europe being colonized is true. Perhaps if pressured enough, you'll concede that the West IS being conquered, but you're simply indifferent due to a pathological hatred for the White race and it's wretched "patriarchy." I've seen this pattern many times before. I'll grant you that large-scale immigration into Europe is causing short-to-medium term problems but I don't see how a bunch of poor migrants is analogous to technologically advanced colonists taking over, exploiting or straight-up exterminating the locals with their superior technology, and shipping resources back home. It seems thoroughly implausible to me that these immigrants are somehow going to take over and subjugate Europe. Causing some unrest is an entirely different question. Demography is destiny. They will replace us and subjugate Europe in time because European culture has become weak and submissive. We are the only culture that thinks demographic replacement is a meritorious act. How do you propose to stop Sharia Law when Whites are a minority in their own countries? Try convincing the Israelis to have open borders and invite the entire third world into their country like Sweden has. Surely they wouldn't mind becoming minorities in their homelands to a fatally hostile Muslim population? Diversity is our strength, after all. It's not like Israel would cease to exist as a Jewish homeland or anything . . .
are you doing your part to save the white race and having as many white children as possible?

This coupled with sexual frustration and the fact that women here are more liberal (take that in whatever sense you want), I guess this can make people become sexual predators. I'm just trying to find a reason 'why' they're doing it. My immediate guess was they couldn't handle the sexual nature of our culture. Anyway, the thing in Cologne was still bad; but I thought i was less severe. I stand corrected.
That's an issue with them. If you can't deal with your new surrounding, leave. If you don't leave, you'll be made to. Sexual frustration, the fuck is that even supposed to mean, not everyone had raining pussy in his life, by that measurement 75% of gamers are sexual predators. This is absolutely no justification whatsoever, no reason, nor argument. If you look down on women, you should not have the right to be in that country, especially if that turns you into a murderer/rapist (and there's quite a few of these happening in germany). There's a reason "why" they're doing it. It's because they can, and it's because they think that they're above it. Not just women, but "the west". It's also not just "not being able to integrate, being disillusioned and turn criminal". Currently there's a murderer/rapist on trial, 32 years old. It took weeks to figure that out, since he was registered as 16 years old. He came with the premise of lying and tricking into the country - there's no "he turned out that way", he came that way, and the "Dunkelziffer" (the assumed number, i suppose?) of people who lied at the application is suspected to be around 70% if i recall correctly.
Will for integrating is different when you're segregated from the start, m4ini. Getting into a native speaking community, perpetuating native culture makes you feel like you're not estranged anymore. It's a reason why so many different communities in every culture exist and they barely intersect with other communities. To put it all at the expense of "wanting to integrate" is a little harsh and oversimplifying the problem imo.
No, it's not. I do know because i did. I don't live in germany anymore. Now, i do live still in a western country, sure - but some things go different here, so i adapt. I don't expect to come by speaking german here (although i've met a few others). What you need is the will to integrate. Flatout. It's something that even erdogan was aware of, when he called out his people in germany to not be "assimilated", i think was the word. And that was before he went full retard.

The Normans conquered England and ruled it for quite awhile. Would you like to argue that's not part of English history?
China, for most of its history, was a pretty insular empire. There was no reason for them to go out and explore and conquer because they basically had everything they really wanted.
