A doctor who is also a good friend you'd invite to social functions would not prescribe something likely to harm you long term. A doctor from a foreign culture who came here because they can make big bucks is different...
@wolfwood and oh my gosh half* the doctors are of foreign birth now
*Not literally, but it seems like that sometimes
I think the pharma execs who deliberatly marketed opiods to the vulnerable, and lobbied medical profession to change standards to proscribe more opiods should be dealt with as traitors
Back in CA I had to go out of my way to find a general doc who was white, and even then she was still an immigrant, with a heavy (but nice) accent.
all their familial wealth should be confiscated, company nationalized etc
@wolfwood That's something a lot of Americans don't realize, that these people who come here from foreign cultures to make money do *not* care about you
medical profession delibarely keeps medical school positions limited while importing foreign doctors
Literally no one comes here for "muh freedoms" or whatever civnats claim
also discriminates against whites
I grew up around immigrants and you guys have no idea how many times people have blatantly said that they don't actually care about America and they're just here to take what they can
Also, side not, I absolutely cannot stand heavy accents
America means white settlers
so obviously non whites don't care about that
I don't like accents in general but heavy ones are the worst
@wolfwood consider this.
Do you think it would be in affective strategy to "END Immigration" by appealing to the fact that when we take in the third worlds few and far between "higher educated people" we cheat that country out of further development by gobbling up it's higher IQ, and more effective people?
It would have the same effect no matter how we frame the argument
brain drain is a very good argument
we should throw all the narratives out there and see what sticks
It's essentially the perfect storm from start to finish to harm white people. The drug companies are motivated to make addictive treatments (not cures), the doctors are motivated to prescribe the treatments that make them the most kickback benefits from pharma companies (and return patient visits?), and a society that *cannot* admit white people are a group deserving of compassion and help.
white people not being willing to help out poor white people while preferring africans was a theme back in 1920
@Jordan - MD I've seen the brain drain argument used, but have not seen any minds changed by it, in that moment/argument.
@Perihelion - CA oh God and they go out of their way to do it, too
It somehow always comes back to "needing" the people to fill positions
When American brains move to India, white people will wake up and claim their land.
I'm surprised that it's observably ineffective at changing minds in the moment because I feel like even if you were talking to a social justice Warrior, talking about being unfair to an African nation is something they seem like they would be very into
My dad has gone on multiple trips to volunteer in central America. Like, don't your own people need help?
They would argue that you are bringing forth the brain drain argument in bad faith and that you just want to make the country whiter.
it's easier to imagine people you don't deal with often are innocent victims rather than tied up in their own problems
I would argue, who cares if I'm saying it in bad faith, the argument is equally valid
@Freiheit - CA actual brains, in jars?
Fair but they have no idea what angle you're coming at if you're just a random person on the Internet or something, so maybe it would be more effective not face-to-face lol
The brain drain argument only makes sense when America becomes the third world.
People simply can't grasp that there's also nothing really wrong with economic contraction. If there's a labor shortage, so what? Wages go up? Prices of real estate fall? Where exactly is the damage occurring? Top-end incomes aren't as padded?
@olly-CA no the investing class understands it perfectly

They love this argument for open borders as well, there is almost a total consensus between economists of all disciplines, that entirely open borders would see global GDP increase by 50% by the end of the decade.
To be honest, though, I don't even use the brain drain argument in bad faith. Part of the reason I'm so anti-immigration is the effect it has on Eastern Europe.
East Germany is starting to move into Eastern Erope
wait what?
brain drain is about to be in their favor if they keep up the anti muslim laws
