I'm just going to say it. Not all immigrants are the same. I know that reading that might make you feel uncomfortable, particularly if you're white and British and therefore more vulnerable to cancel culture and snowflakery.
But it's true. Some immigrants are simply better than others. And by better, I mean that immigrants from certain nations and cultures are more likely than others to integrate and make a positive contribution to their new country.
Sweden is a useful terrarium of immigration; the good, the bad and the ugly. I was born in Sweden to Iranian parents in the early 1990s. At the time, Sweden had a population of just over eight million, and the country was rapidly becoming a destination for migrants.
Fast forward to today, and it has a population of over ten million, of which about a fifth were born abroad. When including those born in Sweden with two foreign-born parents, the number of those with a ‘foreign background’ rises to almost a third of the population.

Ugh. This is DISGUSTING @LushLtd. Teenage girls love to shop in your stores and here you are happily encouraging them to CUT OFF THEIR HEALTHY BREASTS in the name of trans pride.
This is beyond repulsive. It's dangerous and sick. No parent should allow their child near your stores.

It's actually because most of them are stupid.
When I was a young guy and went into teaching, I had this naive idea that I'd finally find a home among people who were skeptics and critical thinkers, like me.
Instead, I just found myself awash in a sea of overeducated and highly credentialed morons.
In Denmark, the immigrant groups costing taxpayers the most in welfare are the same ones dramatically overrepresented in rape convictions.
From a purely economic standpoint, it would seem like the Danes are paying immigrants to rape them.
Middle class leftists have grown so accustomed to seeing people throw red paint on paintings, block roads, tear down statues and throw milkshake at politicians with no recourse. This is the natural continuation of anti social activism.
The reason there was shock and upset about the appropriately heavy sentencing for the Palestine Action thugs is because these ppl assumed they’d get away with it. About half the time they do. Hopefully that will change now.
🚨NEW: 34% of Brits believe ethnic minorities receive preferential treatment from police, a proportion which has doubled in the past two years
Additionally, 91% say the legal exemption allowing Sikhs to carry Kirpans in public should be removed or tightened

@sjbarr500@PositivFuturist The left just don't understand market forces at all. There's a point where we need to start thinking of making basic economics part of the school curriculum.
Almost 0 women work 60+ hours a week which is required to be in this list.
Women’s IQ is not as variable as men’s and is centered around the mean. Which means the 140+ IQ required to be in this list is 47:1 men.
Women focus on people. Men focus on things. As a result a woman doing her job can affect a few dozen people an hour. A man focusing on things can build something that benefits a billion people an hour.
Of course this will offend leftists and feminists but it is none the less true and explains exactly why there are 0 and everything that powers civilization was invented, brought to market and made successful by men and that won’t change any time soon if ever.
Universalising the qualities of the Anglo. WE can get along with the worst people of the world. We often made careers out of it. THEY cannot get along with us. They don’t think the same in the slightest
People think Saxon England was all mud huts. In reality, there were homes which looked just like the that thatched houses you see in the southern shires today, and tiled manor houses everywhere. Saxon England was also the richest integrated state in Europe, with the most effective tax system. The average Englishman was wealthier than most Europeans.
It’s why so many wanted her.

The fixed pie fallacy is probably the single most destructive delusion on the planet. The belief that wealth cannot be created—only distributed—has done more than any other to stop people from lifting themselves and others out of poverty.
A lot of people seem angry that Elon is now a trillionaire, so it’s worth reminding them that he didn’t achieve this by making anyone else poorer. Wealth isn't zero-sum. Paul Graham explained it well:

@CassandraJustBe When an incident happens + u don't have any reliable information it feels perfectly reasonable to trust what the legacy media say, particularly when some of the accounts on X seem biased/ unhinged. The problem is as we've seen from the 4 cases above, they are sometimes no better.
The legacy media have distorted the facts and framing of too many specific hate crime cases.

⚠️Bulgarian Man Guilty Of Assaulting 12YO Girl In Dundee
Ilia Belov, 22, has been found guilty of assaulting a 12YO girl and acting in a threatening or abusive manner towards four girls aged 12-14.
The court heard Belov made sexual remarks to the girl and pushed the 12YO, causing her to fall and hit her head.
Belov claimed he was acting in self defence after seeing a knife, and denied making sexual comments.
Sheriff Timothy Niven-Smith rejected his evidence as "wholly unconvincing and self-serving," calling it a "revisionist" excuse.
The sheriff accepted the girls’ accounts, supported by CCTV and other witnesses, and said Belov’s remarks triggered the confrontation.
Bulova's sister, Nadjedzha Belova, had already pleaded guilty to the assault on the 13YO girl.
⚖️Sentencing for both is set for 5th August.
🌍The case went viral last year after footage of the girl holding a knife and axe circulated widely.
Several high-profile commentators claimed the girls were lying and were the aggressors, some called it racist far-right propaganda.
➡️Shame on them.

🚨 SHAME!! Dutch police admitted they hid the identity of the Iraqi man who killed 14-year-old Tamar Boes because they didn't want it to help Geert Wilders politically.
A child is dead. A family suffered for 6 years. And the government's first instinct was to protect the narrative
A few months ago I was driving down the road and I saw a Sikh riding a motorbike without a helmet. Then I realised it was perfectly legal. What utter bollocks.
