"The problem is we are running out of places to run to. I fled to a white majority place 15 years ago, and then watched as increasingly more Pakistani Muslims moved into the neighbourhood until I was the only white face left. I've fled again now, to an even smaller town, but I know it's only a matter of time. The net migration levels and difference in birth rates means in the next 30-40 years we will be a minority nationwide."
I feel this.

@Moon @icedquinn @romin Have you visited before?
-
@Moon @icedquinn @romin Damn. I didn't realise it was that bad.
-
@sim @icedquinn @romin it is clean and safe and lots of opportunity and things to do but it has very little character imo
-
@icedquinn @romin @sim over 90% of the country is non citizen and if you cause a single problem they kick your ass out with no apology.
-
@sim @icedquinn oil and lots of laundered money. UAE is THE tax heaven.
-
@romin @sim i don't know much about UAE but they do a lot of things there that they're allowed to do but if the US did it you'd hear "racism" screamed off the rooftops or whatever.
you don't even get birthright citizenship there
-
@icedquinn I hadn't thought about that but it makes sense. Especially with how it is paid for through tariffs.
I just wondered, how did Dubai become this? You couldn't make it up.
-
@sim colonials always do that. they come by to build shiny airports and dock yards to 'help' you export goods to them. which you pay for, because europe imposes tariffs and taxation on the locals they built ports that were never asked for.
and if you remove them, europe (and i guess now the US as well) colludes to ensure you stay punished for not paying debts they enforced on you
t. Haiti (Graeber's "Debt.")
-
@icedquinn Yes, but then they also modernise these places. They kick the locals out and build their own buildings, easier to exploit those that remain to work for them and take the resources and profits for themselves.
-
@icedquinn It wouldn't surprise me if they are displacing those people by bringing them to the west either.
-
@sim they are displacing them by destroying their ability to live (ex. putting the world under endless lockdowns)
-
@icedquinn Makes me wonder what can really be done when it seems like the third world wants to move in.
-
@sim immigrants are mostly being used by globobozo. its part of the whole clowart and pivon strategy to overflow foreigners in to a society to collapse it.
they literally use those third world nations to practice their shit on before taking it to the west.
-
@sim running doesn't solve problems it just concedes authority to the enemy :cirno_shrug:
-
@sim @icedquinn @romin yeah a couple times been there
