They feel that they're entitled to have everything provided for them, so if they destroy everything, someone else will pick up the bill, and they'll come out on top. It's hardly a surprise. Minority activism has been at play for over two decades now, first with feminism, then LBG, and now with everything else, with race having a particular trump card. (longer than two decades, but its presence has been truly strong over the last two decades) The problem with the encouragment of multiculturalism, is that it feeds into creating minorities, all of whom are entitled to be protected. The NGO's, Charities, lobbyists, and activists have ensured that minorities know that they have this "right" to be provided everything on the backs of the white people. Which is why (as Wibbs has said) we never hear that Ethiopia is too black, or that China is too Asian. Instead, Western nations need other racial (and cultural) groups for them to be successful, dismissing that these nations were far more successful when immigration by other racial groups was extremely limited. This isn't about dealing with reality. This is about reshaping reality. Which is why we have this crap with "chop" going on. Or the PC brigade which continues to reinvent itself, reinforcing a creed that seeks to encourage divisions. PC culture tramples on peoples rights to express themselves... and that encourages bitterness and anger, which feeds into racism, which proves that the activists are needed. With activists who are entitled to protection even when they reject the government or every aspect of society in favor of anarchy. They're not responsible for whatever happens because they are either victims themselves, or they represent victims. So, they'll dismiss the systems that keep people safe, and dismiss any suggestion that they're responsible for any deaths or suffering caused by their movement, because they're still entitled to be protected/provided for.... and they're entitled to act against the system that provides for them. The world has gone full retard. I swear China, Russia, etc must be laughing themselves silly right now at the self-destructive impulses of western society. All they need to do is wait, while we tear ourselves apart...
Wikipedia wrote: Baizuo (/ˈbaɪˌdzwɔː/; Chinese: 白左 báizuǒ, literally White Left) is a derogatory Chinese neologism and political epithet used to refer to Western leftist ideologies primarily espoused by white people. The term baizuo is related to the term shèngmǔ (圣母, 聖母, literally "Blessed Mother"), a sarcastic reference to those whose political opinions are perceived as being guided by emotions or a hypocritical show of selflessness and empathy.

I don’t have any issues with people who have a legitimate claim. I do agree though that the juxtaposition of an asylum seeker housed immediately with the local homeless was jarring. The folks in RTÉ clearly aren’t bright enough to preempt the message they inadvertently weaved into their narrative. The most interesting commentator was the guy who referred to the 15-20% of the electorate who aren’t catered for today. In my view, this will play out in one of two ways. Either one of the existing parties will recognize this gap in the market and develop policies to attract that cohort or a new party, with a hitherto unknown, but charismatic leader will rise, to mop up those votes. I had never heard of the Irish National Party before this evening. My view is that they won’t gain any traction with their current leader.

No hard questions put to her on how she got here, when she will go home since the conflict is over or how many safe countries she traveled through. The other lady, volunteering to help those from her community on the housing list - absolutely torn to bits and shamed with an old Facebook post. Balanced, indeed. The tough questions and gotcha moment was only reserved for one “side.”

Hamachi wrote: » The prime time piece was reasonably balanced. There was an attempt to portray those with reservations about immigration as deluded. That message didn’t really land very well in my opinion. It’s interesting that RTÉ even broadcast that report. Perhaps the penny is finally dropping that there is a growing sense of unease across the country about the volume of the migration?

There's a naked excitement in the destruction and violence, even if it's their stuff that's being destroyed, and a complete absence of consequential thinking or any thought of repercussions.

It would have been and still is, a remarkably stupid thing to do, but we could... Or we could have negotiated and demanded aspects that our sovereignty was entitled to retain. Getting the Euro was solid, as was the opening of the borders. Economic reasons. Good reasons. But giving up control regarding our security, immigration and worse yet, our culture was just plain retarded. "Brussels" the Cultural hub and decider of what should be "protected"... The EU is ****ed because countries didn't stand up and retain their independence in a manner that contributed to the development of the Union. We're as much to blame as anyone else for how the EU has turned out. We have always had a voice, and a surprising large number of people willing to listen... but our political representatives chose to play agendas. The Irish political landscape pushed into Europe.. bungling along, whispering "ahh, it'll be grand". I remember the EEC and what it could have become if handled right. An economic powerhouse. Not a federal government. Meh.

Hamachi wrote: » I’m not disagreeing with you. I think it’s important to remain open to different perspectives, ways of thinking, and friendship with people from diverse backgrounds. However, my experience on the ground is that this is mostly aspirational thinking. My employer is an extremely diverse, progressive organization. The employee demographics are pretty much split 50:50 between Irish people and internationals. We are required to take annual anti-racism, unconscious bias etc... training. The outcome you would expect is that this fosters many cross-cultural friendships, right? The reality is that it isn’t happening. The Irish people have gravitated towards one another, plus a couple of Europeans who are long established here. When impromptu nights out happen, these are the folks who tend to be invited and attend. Similarly, when the company organizes structured events, I know for a fact that many Irish people check the sign-up list before making the decision to attend or not. I’m culpable here too. I invited a group of colleagues to my own wedding. It didn’t even occur to me to invite any of the internationals. Not because I’m inherently xenophobic or racist. I simply have little in common with many of them, outside of sharing the same workplace. There is merit in what my employer is trying to do. It’s important to be respectful of different backgrounds and behave decently to others. However, fundamental human nature always asserts itself. Most people have a strong preference for being around others, with whom they share a common outlook and heritage. All the corporate training in the world will never override this basic human impulse.
