@TouchmineX Still though, the suggestion made by some that FIFA are helping Argentina isn’t backed by reality.
Why would they allow France 2 penalties against Argentina, in the World Cup final of all games, if they have a secret agenda supporting Messi?
@pink_glockk@xspotsdamark Immigration delays collapse at best, while bringing with it major problems: housing shortages, strained services, cohesion issues, and long-term pressure on native birth rates.
Why not pair selective skilled migration with aggressive pro-natal policies instead?
@xspotsdamark Why not bring people on temporary visas, instead of letting any and everyone in while fast-tracking their pathways to citizenship?
I am an immigrant myself, I’m not against immigration at all. I’m against this level of immigration, it’s clearly causing many problems.
@pink_glockk@xspotsdamark Well I know better than to expect that of western politicians these days. It’s increasing clear that all options on the political spectrum have an aligning underlying agenda.
I’m not naïve enough to think that it can be stopped. It will continue, I don’t doubt that.
@xspotsdamark And I have absolutely no problem with migrants with degrees coming to fill jobs which require them, any thriving society would want the best from around the world.
To conflate that with the current levels of immigration though would be dishonest at best.
@xspotsdamark As I said in my previous reply, it’s a band aid not an actual fix to the problem though? And comes with its own pretty serious issues?
“Everyone goes for the quick fix” when that is literally what you just suggested, rather than addressing the low birth rates.
It’s interesting the way that everyone also seems to be so certain of their own objectivity, while being clearly biased in the same post.
What happened to “the only thing I know is that I know nothing”?
Ancient wisdom is still prevalent today for a reason, clearly.
Social media is just endless amounts of people confidently asserting the exact same talking point that’s been debunked and repeated a million times already.
They could easily look up rational challenges to these common arguments, but project them as a novel revelation instead.
@Skelebruv@xspotsdamark No shit women don’t want to have kids, it’s kind of the main factor in falling birth rates. You’re projecting some misogynistic stance onto me when I said nothing of the sort.
You’re also grouping me in as “people who scream about immigrants”, when I’m literally an immigrant.
@xspotsdamark conversations about family?
Mass immigration to perpetually top up the worker to retiree ratio also doesn’t solve the root fertility collapse. It’s a band aid that creates new pressures on housing, cohesion, and services. Both paths are imperfect, but rapidly changing the

@theriac33 Why not just take an actual aromatase inhibitor if that’s the effects that you seek? Instead of becoming addicted to vaping for lesser effects?
@Anglothule People were voting largely against immigration as a decisive issue leading up to 2016, just for it to be pushed on a never before seen scale immediately after.
