Today, a man stabbed four people in islamophobic rage: a ghastly crime. Where are the riots in protest of racist UK natives?
How many Brits do you know?

Trust me, the climate is in as rough a shape as those so-called extremists would have you believe. You can quite literally read it off the veniers, or at least we could until we hired a strong man to smash them. Nuclear is another matter -- I reckon the European anti-nuclear movement set climate change ahead by at least several years, but these days the cost/benefit leans solar, as political unrest pairs poorly with…
None of these things have happened but these people were still let near schools unvetted with these claims in the 90s. If day we've learned to communicate science better but fools in the know all to quickly become political bedfellows with money with agendas attached to it...

Don't capitalise black, don't capitalise white, write like we used to do before the identity politicos started messing things up. Even by capitalising white you're falling into their trap of raising identity as a political factor. Dump the lot of those identity politicos in the bin where they belong and let's get to the actual issues no matter what they say.

There are extremists who claimed the ocean would be destroyed by acid rain, oil would run out by 2020 and co2 levels would push the temps to 25+C in the UK for most of the year. None of these things have happened but these people were still let near schools unvetted with these claims in the 90s.

That capitalization convention is included in the Associated Press Stylebook ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Stylebook ); the author's use of that convention is not evidence of any broader "allegiance." (Maybe some feel that adhering to the AP's guidelines is enough evidence of bias, but I think it is imprecise to judge the author specifically for following that convention.) (I am not expressing any opinion on the…

Your ignorance is hanging out. > The author could not find the elusive videos of maniacal Whites stabbing, beheading, assaulting, machete-ing or raping non-White strangers in the streets because they do not exist Literally today - man charged after suspected anti-Muslim attacks in Edinburgh https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2xg6lwz5jo

As a brit, I can confirm I am not at all fed up with immigration. Your comment is unnecessary, unsubstantiated, doesn't add anything to the discussion and is just going to cause arguments in its current form.

I agree with most of what the article has to say, but I feel like it's dancing around the fundamental issue. Like: > These apparently disparate events all feature one obvious commonality: race. In each case, the riots were sparked by an act of violence in which the victim(s) were white and the attackers were not. The context: these events were focused largely in ethnically diverse working-class neighbourhoods, commun…
See also: antisemitism in Nazi Germany. I’m sure some Jewish people committed serious crimes against non-Jewish Germans. But that was incidental, not causal, to the vile propaganda that eventually led to the Holocaust.

Maybe native Brits should make more babies? Or maybe the powers that be should enact changes to make native baby-making more compelling? Dunno what to tell you. Without immigration, the wheels fall off completely.
Do you recall the criticism that a blind commitment to economic growth at all costs is a social pathology that (among other adverse effects) prevents us from addressing climate change?
You're doing something much like that right now.

If they are fed up with immigration they are stupid. “Gee we have declining birth rates and we want to deny this pool of labor that might correct course because they are brown.” The american empire was built on easy immigration. Turns out the tired and poor that we took in can build empires and win europe’s major wars for them.
Immigration is a duct tape solution to fixing things at this point. It is not going to build you an empire today.
Maybe, but lack of it will definitely lose you one.
