Which I don’t believe works

Yeah, I am not one of those modern leftists. They are so distracted.

I’m more of a social conservative/realist and slightly economically progressive/reformist

Which I know won’t make me many friends on this server😂

Nah, it’s fine.

Our main left wing party is also socially conservative, but they’re also social democrats

I live in Romania if you wonder. 🙂

Ah

Interesting

Your English is excellent btw👌

Thank you

Imo, one of the biggest issues of our time is the immigration thing

People need to understand basic human nature

And that humans naturally prefer members of their own tribe, so when there’s big multicultural societies there is bound to be friction

Homogeneous countries like Ireland or japan do not have the same social problems

We like to stick to our tribe if things are... going well... but if they aren’t, then we migrate.

But for some stupid reason there are so many people who are now convinced that borders do not matter and that an absolute perfect utopia is very achievable🤦‍♂️😂

Back when we weren’t as intelligent or aware of the things around us and back when life was about survival, we had open borders

We didn’t have concrete borders back then

Which is why there were so many petty disputes over territory

Exactly

Nowadays territories, for the most part, are well defined

Territories are defined so migration is now on a person by person basis

Yes. But the motive is still the same: lack of resources.

And that makes it easier for leftists to call foul when a single person isn’t let in

Like “what’s the harm one person will do”

Not much

But a lot of people can be harmful

A person can begin running a criminal organization

They may pretend to want to work and stuff, but secretly do evil things

That’s why state surveillance is important

I think that terrorism is more anecdotal, but the thing I’m concerned about is large scale culture clash

When a big group of the population essentially rebels against the current cultural norms of the country

It is destabilizing

Ah, that’s not ok.

That’s undermining a state’s and the people’s safety.

And you are 100% correct that the strain on resources (space, capital) is making things worse

The pie is shrinking and everyone wants a bigger and bigger piece

And when times are hard, people fall back on their tribes and become distrustful of outsiders, they purge the ranks of their in-group

Agreed

Ideological stratification occurs
