you need individual rights

2018-01-23 00:08:35 UTC  

Radical nationalism rn is an excuse for the state to clamp down further, it helps no-one

2018-01-23 00:08:40 UTC  

I'm sure they're aware that they need individual rights.

you need to understand why individual rights are necessary for life and collective rights means you have no rights.

2018-01-23 00:09:07 UTC  

no they aren't

2018-01-23 00:09:10 UTC  

uh

might want to specify

2018-01-23 00:09:16 UTC  

nationalism doesn't guarantee your rights

2018-01-23 00:09:29 UTC  

Well, yeah, that's not being argued.

2018-01-23 00:09:29 UTC  

What does then revolver

2018-01-23 00:09:32 UTC  

Collective rights are a thing, they just need to be curbed. There's a balance to be had between the individual and the group.

2018-01-23 00:09:36 UTC  

Also yes jej this was all a ploy to keep labour in power, import a state reliant class of voters illegally

2018-01-23 00:09:46 UTC  

Tony Blair did this ultimately

2018-01-23 00:09:52 UTC  

I don't even know what you're getting at

2018-01-23 00:09:52 UTC  

If u act only as individuals then you will be swallowed by a group

2018-01-23 00:10:10 UTC  

If a mass of individuals have the same rights, and are in the same country, that's collective rights

2018-01-23 00:10:11 UTC  

the only way to maintain individual rights is to ensure that the population understands why individual rights are important

2018-01-23 00:10:22 UTC  

As a community.
As a group.

2018-01-23 00:10:25 UTC  

immigrants tend to do what they are told by the host country

2018-01-23 00:10:41 UTC  

By the ones who want to give them stuff

2018-01-23 00:10:45 UTC  

act as individuals working together

If you can guarantee "any one" individuals rights, then everyone has the same rights

At that point it no longer becomes a question of "who's being oppressed" or "who's rights are being violated" but who's got the best idea to lead the country

Revolver u wot

2018-01-23 00:11:11 UTC  

if they are told their culture is important, they will perpetuate it, if they are told individual rights are paramount, they will advocate for individual rights

2018-01-23 00:11:36 UTC  

Immigrants tend to do what they’re told , no they don’t , not the ones we in the West have been flooded with anyways

2018-01-23 00:11:38 UTC  

its got nothing to do with race or ethnicity

2018-01-23 00:11:41 UTC  

They're perpetuating their culture anyway, though, even in the face of being in a country with individual rights.

2018-01-23 00:11:47 UTC  

Yeah, I'm not sure what's even being argued here. Does the government go out and personally tell one person at a time what rights they have? If they all have the same rights, that's collective rights

2018-01-23 00:11:51 UTC  

I still don't understand

2018-01-23 00:12:06 UTC  

we are telling them that their culture is equally important and not telling them why our culture is important

2018-01-23 00:12:20 UTC  

that is why they don't respect it

2018-01-23 00:12:38 UTC  

We're not allowed to, though, because "all cultures are beautiful."

2018-01-23 00:12:42 UTC  

True , but even if we did lots would not suddenly respect us , we’ve been flooded with the trash and garbage of other cultures

2018-01-23 00:13:07 UTC  

they would if we show them that our success is due to individual rights

2018-01-23 00:13:12 UTC  

wew

2018-01-23 00:13:40 UTC  

the problem is that our moral justification for rights was traditionally religious

2018-01-23 00:13:50 UTC  

What success , the west has been declining since the 50s

2018-01-23 00:14:00 UTC  

Same time individualism became such a big thing

2018-01-23 00:14:04 UTC  

how are you measuring that

2018-01-23 00:14:10 UTC  

thats because we abandoned the conception of rights 100 years ago

2018-01-23 00:14:22 UTC  

Declining morally , politically , culturally
