RE: Sweden is starting to find out that immigration is not profitable

in #politics7 years ago

Thanks @scienceangel! I'm sure they teach that indirectly..because isn't that how we all learn about culture in Europe? First we learn that all people are equal. But then we learn that white people and western culture is opressive. We don't learn a balanced view on history. We only learn that the west did horrible things to the poor people of africa and the middle east. They don't mention that the crusades were a long overdue answer to muslims trying to conquer Europe for over a 1000 years. They don't teach us that arabs took more slaves, most of which white, than whites took black slaves. They don't teach us about the context in which these things happened. The time and age these things happened.
They don't mention the 100s of thousands of white men who fought and died in the civil war to end slavery.

So, we all learn that western culture is shit and oppressive - and that all our sucess is built on top of the misery of others. Which is of course insane and 100% wrong. But this is what 60%-70% of the white population believes, and this is what they teach our kids in school.

I had to unschool my 4 year old yesterday. The kindergarden people had told one of the kids (not my kid) that he should finish his food. But instead of giving a sane explanation (like..we shouldnt throw away food simply because wasting food is bad and disrespectful against the plant/animal and the peope who spent time to manufacture the food) they shamed the child. They said; "Think about african kids. They don't have any food!"

I told my 4 year old that well..do you think that the african kid get more food if you finish your food? And he just laughed and said no. And I told him he shouldnt have to care about some child in africa. That's not his responsibility.

I mean..shaming and laying that heavy burden on a child. Like he should feel responsible for another persons misery. And that's why you ideally shouldn't have your kid in kindergarden (or school)

I couldn't agree more! I didn't believe this until I came to live in France, and saw it for myself. French people are actually ashamed of themselves, because they're convinced that they are aggressors who conquer/colonized everything, and somehow caused all the wars and that it's their fault for everything that happens in middle East now!

How could that be even possible? Who is that smart-ass who thought that it would be great idea to introduce such notorious lies/incomplete truths in educational system of all Western Europe?

And yes - neither your kid or any other kid or people from civilized countries in general is responsible for famine problem in Africa or wherever... They're just reproducing much more than resources in those countries allow, and the result is inevitable and predictable - they starve to death, nature's laws, simple as that. People just don't get it - what will happen if we feed ALL starving children in Africa? Surprisingly - soon they will be hungry again!!! And what will you do next - feed them again, and again, etc., and then what - they will reproduce even more, and at some point mass dying would happen, because we won't be able to feed them anymore!

Saw the same in Germany. All Germans are guilty because of Hitler ... although he was from Austria it does not matter, they are guilty of what happened more than 70 years ago and they will continue to pay as far as I can see ... It is crazy!!!

Personally I want to stay away from politics. So I don't talk much about this. But I've seen some Germans being very protective of migrants and they say facts are just emotions in disguise. I really hate political talks. I saw some great points from @vimukthi

Wow friend, it's a shame you had to unschool your son. I remember that the same thing about Africans without food was something they repeated constantly when we were children, and that has a negative effect on people, it is very good that you have taken that responsibility away from your child.

I remember being told the same thing about not finishing our food when I was a kid. Now, both my wife and I tell our children then they are wasting resources or just plain wasting food. It makes more sense than the thought that you are 'stealing' from another kid's mouth.
