I have my life plans in order , thanks though . I also pay my own insurance and phoneJealousy looks good on you though . <| sep |> Out of every snippet on mania , secrets touched my soul the most . My most anticipated song is lonely nights tho . <| sep |> At first glance I may appear to be puppeting NeoCon talking points and there may be some overlap . However I do believe I am being rational and pragmatic in this case . What ' s your political orientation again ? More or less . My flair is the fasces because there isn ' t a blue flag for conservativism . In general I ' m a rightist bordering on farright in most subjects . It should be noted that I share zero beliefs with NeoConservatives because they are not real conservatives . The ideology arose in the 1960 s from antiStalin , leftist , Trotskyites . and lumps all Muslims in one basket before you know anything about themYes , I conceed to that point and here ' s why . It is paternalistic and borderline racist to claim to have intimate knowledge of the cultures and beliefs of other peoples . It would be wrong of me to proclaim to know the inner working and motivations of other peoples . Hell it ' s hard enough understanding my own people let alone other peoples . So when you have a million refugees knocking on your border , it is fundamentally impossible to tell who the good ones are and who are the bad ones . I believe this is the more humanizing view because I do not deny them agency like your world view does . I admit that not all humans think like I do , I acknowledge that my worldview is not the best for all people , only for my people . I personally believe that 99 % of the real refugees are good , honest people . Great people probably . But as with any group of people there ' s a spectrum , with most being good , kind people and some harboring ulterior motives . I simply acknowledge that I cannot tell them apart . I don ' t know which ones are prone to radicalization and which are not . stopping innocent CHILDREN from seeking shelter in the West is . The road to hell is paved with good intentions . By endeavouring to help one group of children you place another group in harms way . You need to consider the impact these people and their children will have on the character of Western governments . I do not imply a conspiracy or some kind of mass coordination . Governments for the most part reflect the will of the people . It is uncontroversial to notice that the West is the liberal bastion of the world . A mass influx of individuals who possess conservative values will only serve to make the nation less liberal . For example , if a million conservative American southerners moved to a liberal state like Massachusetts , would that make Mass . more liberal or more conservative in nature ? My outlook is summed up well by a passage from a 2012 paper on immigration and the Founding Fathers of America . Immigrants present a different , yet related challenge . Many immigrants will come to the United States as adults , with fullyformed ideas about politics , which were decisively shaped by their native regimes . Jefferson states that we have peculiar principles , by which he means a combination of the freest principles of the English constitution , with other derived from natural right and natural reason . To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies . Many will come to the United States as refugees from tyranny , but tyranny will have shaped their ideas about politics . They are unlikely to have learned either how to live peaceably , respecting the rights of others , or how to be vigilant in the assertion and defense of their own rights . They are unlikely even to have a clear idea about the meaning and content of rights themselves . Admitting persons who are not prepared poses a fundamental problem for the American experiment . Jefferson continues They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave , imbibed in their early youth or , if able to throw them off , it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness , passing , as is usual , from one extreme to another . It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty . Having no experience with , or understanding of , liberty , it will be difficult for immigrants to conduct themselves in a manner befitting a free citizen of a republic . This conversation is often black and white , which is a shame because there is a lot of nuance there . stopping innocent CHILDREN from seeking shelter in the West is 1 Against Christian values 2 Against Western values 3 Against human values 4 xenophobic Philanthropy is certainly a Christian value , however it should never come at the expense of one ' s own people . Same for Western values . Placing your own people in harm while intending to help outgroups is pathologial altruism . Oakley defines pathological altruism as altruism in which attempts to promote the welfare of others instead result in unanticipated harm . A crucial qualification is that while the altruistic actor fails to anticipate the harm , an external observer would conclude that it was reasonably foreseeable . As for human values you should humanize them , stop assuming they believe what you believe , and return to them the agency which you deny them . When you do that then you have stopped seeing them through what is essentially a racist , paternalistic lens . As for xenophobia I see no problem with it . It is nothing more than a feeling , than a prerogative of the individual . It ' s no different than a sexual orientation or a desire to consume drugs . Yet it ' s thrown around like it ' s some kind of trump card . Xenophobe is the left ' s version of the right ' s degenerate . What is needed topple the globalist , capitalist , NeoCon racket is solidarity yet things like identity politics only serve to divide and conquer us . Some of it is astroturffed and some isn ' t . That ' s something Marxists , leftists , etc need to recognize . The working class is always going to be inherently reactionary regarding certain things like race and religion . You can problematize that and fault them for it but that only leaves the door open for people like Trump to come along and build a base from their alienation . I try to see the nuance and be educated in the matter but I will most always place my people first . The world is pretty jacked and it ' s hard enough making progress in our own nations . Mass immigration , I believe , only adds an additional dimension of complexity towards achieving progress .
