Hot take: Multiculturalism is good

sk8erboii

Reactionary types beware: Multiculturalism is defined as the spread of people and ideas.

I know you're already thinking about white genocide, catholic oppression and that liberal arts girl that rejected you for being rough around the edges. But hear me out, because im about to tell you why multiculturalism is good.

The one reason: It's the default state of humanity.

You ever wonder why those forgotten tribes like in the sentinel islands is rare and in many ways primitive? Because they are not like us. The rest of the world has managed to collectively cooperate. One guy comes up with a great idea and someone else from another country copies it and improves it. Thats multiculturalism.

I made this thread as a response to the obvious xenophobic hatemongering in other posts.

Like some scumbag throwing acid to a child's face, somehow implicates every immigrant and they should be put under a proverbial spotlight. Its tenuous logic at any point of view.

Right now I want you to imagine if Ireland became your insular and backwards utopia. Forget about the Wakanda syndrome (That if a nation somehow closes its borders and focuses on itself it will become advanced) and look at case studies. The empire Japan is the poster boy for the self-serving xenophobic nation state. And it was 200 years behind until it stopped the blockade then it entered modernity.

If Ireland had no multiculturalism (which includes the Catholic church) it would literally be a depressing backwater even moreso than it was for hundreds of years. Everything you ever owned, knew and f*cked is influenced by foreign people.

That doesn't mean genocide, asmuch as self-victimizing citizens in the top 10 quality of life in the world would have you think. It simply means acknowledging that Ireland and multiculturalism are deeply intertwined, even back to the building of 'native' structures (which were built by people that came from spain, scandinavia and france).

Ireland's golden days when it was all 'native' never existed. In fact, those days were among the most depressing and oppressive in history that the population never recovered. Blighted by a food that came from Peru.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Saudi_Arabia

Then
The first mention of Jews in the areas of modern-day Saudi Arabia dates back, by some accounts, to the time of the First Temple.
Immigration to the Arabian Peninsula began in earnest in the 2nd century CE, and by the 6th and 7th centuries there was a considerable Jewish population in Hejaz, mostly in and around Medina

Now
There has been virtually no Jewish activity in Saudi Arabia since the beginning of the 21st century. Jewish (as well as Christian and other non-Muslim) religious services are prohibited from being held on Saudi Arabian soil

Where is your outcry, hipsters?

So does that mean that those against multiculturalism are supporters of the Saudi authorities?

Interesting article on the (lack of) sustainability of Irelands current model.

'FDI growth regime been made possible by inward migration and European integration, but given the unequal distribution of the economic benefits that this generates, it is unlikely to be politically, or electorally, sustainable'

What about Singapore? They are about 20 years ahead of us down the FDI driven economic model and seem to be doing just fine. Granted their social housing policy is about 50 years ahead of ours but still...

well where do we get our cleaners etc from in the meantime? I believe most people are inherently good anyway, the wasters in this country are Irish not foreign. Anyway where do people find the time to give a sh*t about where people are from? Life's too short amigos.

There is huge unemployment in Italy and Spain and other EU countries, why not campaign and try to recruit our European brethren??

as opposed to who? also, spanish and italians dont want to come to ireland to clean hotel rooms. I spend a lot of time in Spain and the cleaners are usually Romanian/Bulgarian or South American anyway.

A lot employers will look for Romanians, Bulgarians for cleaning jobs because they get away with treating them like slaves. Irish people won't take ****e off employers, they know their rights.

No, Irish people would rather be on the scratcher than have menial jobs like cleaning. And would you blame them, given our generous welfare. Even 20 years ago when I started working in Dublin, the cleaners in offices were always inner city Dublin type women. There's not one Irish person working as a cleaner where I am now.

I work for a company that provides cleaners and other staff for different sites, I'd say about 70% of the applications for cleaning are from eastern Europeans mostly Croatians and Romanians, there are still Irish people that will do these jobs. The difference is the immigrants are terrified of losing the job so you can call them at any hour on their day of or whatever and they will jump and go whereever you tell them to go and work for as long as you tell them.

Irish people won't do that nor should they have to. Its the employers taking advantage that are the problem not the immigrants.

Most people are normal but they dragged into discussing these abstract topics and isms because it represents common ground, a lowest common denominator. And so they waste time here on the internet.

Though it would probably be a lot more real and relevant, I can't discuss herrings with you. They don't feature in my life much.

I remember when cleaners were paid quite well, I was stacking shelves in Quinnsworth back in 92 while in secondary school.
I was on 2:49 an hour getting **** from trainee managers lol my brother was getting 4:50 an hour cleaning for Noonans cleaners.

I actually like cleaning, nothing like getting dirty and harden into my calluses, then having to clean the hands after...

Yes. As in uneducated low skill people from poor backgrounds. Cmon you're not that thick. My Ma is a townie, who left school at 14, she was also a cleaner for a while.

Can be good, depends on the culture and mentality of those being brought in. What's happened to certain parts of Europe is a disgrace.

Some people will probably think I'm making this up, I started a new job recently and there's an English chap working there. He told me the street and surroundings he grew up totally changed culture wise and he with his family emigrated to Ireland because of it. The anti Brexit parade will never admit that the main issue behind it was immigration and how the UK is changing for the worse because of it, all you hear is "People were tricked, uneducated low information voters" and so on.

It's one of the biggest economies in the world though, it simply can't continue that way without lots of immigration. They were sold a lie.

The issue isn't immigration. Read the first part of my post, the issue in that country is the problems associated with importing mass amounts of people from Islamic cultures. You can't take in copious amounts of people with a different culture and expect it to end up well.

Yes we need to be judicious.

Can I ask thread starter skaterboi again to state if they believe we need any filter or not on this multicultural drive?

They need skilled migrants not more cab drivers, street cleaners and fast food workers.

Well I lived in the uk for 7 years and the Islamic folk seemed to integrate fine, I worked with plenty. It has ended up well, the UK is maybe the biggest melting pot of cultures in the world and for the most part everyone is very respectful of one another. And you can always get a good kebab!

The fact is they (uk) will still have plenty of migration, the only difference is they will now get 'quality/skilled' migration via their new proposed points system.

So anyone unskilled coming to the uk expecting to earn less than 30k GBP, won't be required nor welcome. Not to mention stricter health, literacy,education and police background checks.

They'll be pretty f'd trying to fill cleaning positions etc in that case. I'm not saying open borders is a great thing, but the in this capitalist greed based society we now live in in the west, low skilled immigration is definitely required in order for countries to function.

Ah the 'kebab' argument, "shure everyone needs a nice kebab".

Mass migration in 2016 caused the end of the EU as we know it (Brexit) is that working out fine?

Only this week in Birmingham a school was forced to close, because mainly (integrated?) islamic folk didn't approve of SexEd classes.

Are grooming gangs fine and respectful?

yes, they used to be anyway. The flats etc. They don't go to Blackrock college, but you know that anyway, I don't know what your angle is here.
