call me a /pol/tard if you want but the huge stream of refugees got me thinking (i live in germany btw.) since alot of them come without passports nobody can tell who is really a refugee, who is in for the money and much worse who is a sleeper. i was asking myself how exactly would sleepers destroy our society? would it even be possible to have a breakdown of society in the middle of europe like it happens in syria right now?

another thing that interests me is how could a resistance be formed in a collapsed society without high tech. whithout internet most people are not even able to hold a friendship these days.

I donated €10 via youtube (which is owned by google) which is raising money to give to 4 charity groups, Doctors without Frontiers being the main one.

I'm not sure if I fuarrrked up or not, but eh, I believe in giving to charity semi-regularly so I decided to do it.

I've been really disappointed lately with the amount of people being so quick to cheer closing the borders but so slow to do anything alternative to help the people.

It is very cyberpunk in *some* sense: People ignoring borders/states and muh finite resources to me are common themes of cyberpunk settings.

Countries should bring in refugees but keep them in designated areas where they can perform productive work for the host country and be watched closely, but should be given the freedom to return to their home country at any moment desired.

This would be seen as immoral by most of the world right now however, especially in Germany, and it doesn't appear as immoral to simply close the borders. It's really ironic.

I saw this sentiment floating around some unsourced Youtube comments the other day. While there may be sleepers mingling among the throngs of refugees, I doubt that their proportion is in any way significant. I live in Germany and have had contact with a refugee from Nigeria. The amount of paperwork, legal work and the number of restrictions on these people are so incredibly high, that you literally can't do anything without proper paperwork.

Even if covert groups form within rich European countries, there is a very advanced and well-trained police force and army that can both weed out such hidden groups and deal with them in case of insurrections.

A greater problem to my mind are locals who parrot about a muslimisation of Europe and about "muh jerbs!". The touted influx of about 400 000 migrants will hardly shift the current population percentage of Muslims on the continent, which is about 4%. Self-righteous Nazi wannabes on the other hand, could easily cause ethnic tension.

Perhaps not as unfriendly looking as that, but essentially yes.

You're not exactly in a choosing position if you're looking for refuge, and if you don't want to accept the refuge you're being given tough luck.

It's much better than just denying these people outright.

If I had an extra room in my home I'd let couch-surfers in my home without a problem, but that doesn't mean I'd let them eat my food without my express permission or claim rights in my home. They'd be restricted to whatever I say the restrictions are, and if they don't like it they can seek either another home or the street.

But this is nothing new.

I don't think countries with sound governments and well-funded, professional civil service should worry about that. The ones who should worry the most about the sleeper issue would actually be countries already in/on the brink of turmoil and piss-poor and/or highly corrupt states. So basically the majority of the Middle East.

OP, are you interested in the military strategy of how ISIS operatives would destabilize Germany? Look up John Robb/systems disruption warfare to get an idea. Basically, modern society is based on centralized networks that have vulnerable choke points. By attacking those choke points you cause cascading failures that massively damage the network at very little cost to the attacker.

Have you realized though, that ISIS recruits from Western Europe? If they wanted sleepers they would have them, and Islamic extremists don't want Europe, they want the land that's culturally important to them.

This is a hijrah, a jihad by emigration. The European leaders who support taking in these migrants should be kicked out of office and tried for treason, for whether intentionally, or out of the good of their bleeding hearts, they are aiding ISIS in a grand scheme to conquer Europe. It is an absolute truth that there are ISIS soldiers among these migrants, ISIS themselves have confirmed it. However, it wouldn't even matter if there wasn't any, the plan would still succeed. Low birthrates in Europe and the constantly increasing intake of migrants per year will, within a matter decades, utterly destroy the homogeneity of Europe. Non-Europeans will, eventually, become the majority. I can't imagine all Europeans will like this. Prepare to see those lovely ethnic conflicts you see happening in 3rd world countries on television happening right on your front door step as nationalism, xenophobia and religious intolerance engulf Europe. There is no peaceful path to solving this crisis. We must either commit ourselves to another long, bloody war in the middle-east or buckle ourselves in for a much longer conflict right at home.

The ones who can afford to get to Europe were middle class in their own countries; lots of them holding university degrees.

Your comment boils down to "BROWN PEOPLE ARE VIOLENT". When tens of thousands of people are forced to abandon their homes, careers, families and everything constant in their lives to sneak across borders like jews avoiding nazis only to be met with barbed wire, tear gas and holding pens, a few cases of "violence and hypocrisy" are to be expected.
By focusing only on those you expose your own prejudice.

I'm not an economics pro, but isn't a population boom bad with today's technology? I always thought that labor followed supply and demand laws, and that a smaller population would mean either higher wages or easier jobs when business make up for the lack of a workforce with mechanization.

That coupled with my naively romantic view of nationalism (maybe to do with that natural reaction to change you mentioned) makes me uneasy to see so many people coming to Europe. It raises the supply of labor past what's needed in Europe and lowers it below what's needed in their homeland.

You know, you can google those things. But no, a lower population does not equal a higher pay, it does however surely decrease productivity, requires higher taxing to keep public services functional, which makes higher payed people (aka scientists, engineers, smart business people) migrate to other countries, causing the country's position in the global market to further weaken, which is kinda like a spiral of death in economics.

Stop with the "poor hapless Syrians!" spiel. This is a critical crisis that must not be solved with the heart, it must be solved with careful logic. The fact is, Europe's welfare systems cannot handle a million migrants coming in every year, most of them cannot even handle the current one million. We are already seeing native Europeans getting the short straw as social welfare is prioritised to migrants. This is not going to be a one time batch of asylum seekers either. Now that Germany has opened the floodgate we are going to see a million migrants every single year. If we put all of our resources into bringing these people into Europe the stream of migration will never end. The only place to permanently solve this problem is in the countries from which the migrants are actually coming from, and that is where we must focus our attention and resources. Until we put a stop to this madness we will continue to see thousands of people drowning with their tin boats in the Mediterranean and more dead kids washing up on Europe's southern shores. Is that what you want? I'm sure that it must suck to live the countries they are coming from, but this mass migration just isn't the answer, and for many more reason other than those that I have outlined.

You're a total idiot if you think anyone in ISIS is fighting for a worldwide caliphate. And as John Robb points out, this means less "global superstate" and more the dissolution of nation states.

ISIS is lead by people with enough strategic acumen to know what they are actually fighting for, and for the next 10 years, they are going to be fighting for control over the Sunni regions of Northwest Iraq and Syria. This is the winnable battle.

Agreed. But they won't leave behind their Islam crap because that's the basis of their culture and an integral part of their identity.

Most of them are not feeling war. The majority of them are not even from Syria according to UN's official stats.

>A study of crime statistics published in 2014 found that among males between the age of 20 and 24 descendants of non-Western immigrants had a crime rate 2.6 times greater than those of Danish origin


>According to official statistics, 21.0% of rapes have been committed by foreigners in Finland. Foreigners comprise 2.2% of the population.


>A 2006 study found that the share of immigrants has a positive and significant impact on the crime rate, confirming that a larger share of immigrants is associated with a higher crime rate. The data implies that this may be caused by the higher unemployment, and thus worse socioeconomic conditions among immigrants. However, unemployed persons born in France are still far less likely to commit crimes than unemployed recent immigrants.


>Immigrants in Germany are overrepresented in crime statistics. In Berlin, young male immigrants are three times more likely to commit violent crimes than their German peers.


>A report studying 4.4 million Swedes between the ages of 15 and 51 during the period 1997-2001 found that 25% of crimes were committed by foreign-born individuals while and additional 20% were committed by individuals born to foreign-born parents. In particular, immigrants from Africa and South & Western Asian were more likely to be charged of a crime than individuals born to two Swedish parents by a factor of 4.5 and 3.5 respectively.

Even ISIS only claimed they had 20,000 among the some 600,000-800,000 refugees. But that's unlikely considering that's 20,000 not fighting in Syria and Iraq and would make up a significant fraction of their milita. Unless that's their way of admitting they're losing.

As far as crime stats one dude mentioned above. If these are true, I think they may result from things other than religious extremism most of the time. A lot of young male migrants that come to Europe aren't really all that religious: they smoke weed, they drink, they fornicate, if they're Muslims they probably don't even know how to really pray. Their beef seems to be with "white people" and "Europeans" not so much "infidels". At least that's my observation.

tbh I think it's dangerous to allow them all in. Europe is taking too many refugees in and these people are coming from a country that considers the west their enemy. Why doesn't Russia take them in instead since they are allies with Syria?

Sometimes pretending you're so high and mighty and accepting will kill you. Don't trust so easily. Number one rule for life. Just because these European countries are relatively peaceful doesn't mean their not an enemy to ISIS. They side with America and work towards western goals for the world.

because the person in charge is allies with Russia the people are strongly against his rule, that's why they are fleeing to Europe, Also about population if a full 1,000,000 came in tomorrow, the whole population of Germany is 80,000,000 as a whole, 80X greater than the population currently coming in.

The real problem is
A) should Germany and the rest of Europe will allow them to stay?
B) With the sudden influx where do we get the money to support them.

more than likely they will move them back after the conflict is over or if they are well educated and support economic growth Germany will allow them to stay.

All in all, it depends on how fast the Syrian crisis ends.

Also, the current Muslim population is 6% (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/01/15/5-facts-about-the-muslim-population-in-europe/) wouldn't even increase a whole percent.

That being said all and all Germany's Chancellor does have a duty to hold and send back all the asylum seekers after the conflict, BECAUSE asylum is ONLY temporary!

to be fair to assad, almost half the 23 some odd million Syrian population has either been killed or displaced. Those some 4 to 5 million refugees constitute a significant portion of the population which will be needed if Syria ever hopes to rebuild at all.

And Russia has been taking some refugees in since the start of the crisis, but Russia is more concerned with ending the war, not giving insurance so the war can continue.

The best thing for the Syrian refugees is to make Syria safe for them to go back home. But Europe is only concerned with questions on how to accommodate for the refugees and distribute them among themselves.

Russia's only concern here is keeping Assad in power. Syria is a valuable ally to Russia and the current war is only destabalising their influence in the Middle East.

Their insistence that he be removed will only prolong the war by years, bring us closer to a new cold war, further fuarrrk up Europe, and in the end, if the west wins, the regime that is installed afterwards will lose power just as quickly as those installed in Iraq and Afghanistan, creating further conflict.

They are poor because the country that their culture created is unstable and violent. You can blame this too on proxy wars of the developed world, but is that really an intellectually honest argument? I would say no.

There's geopolitical reasons that the immigration crisis is being universally praised in the media. They're censoring anyone who objects and running stories they know are false. It's plain to see this. You have to make your own informed decision anon. Ask yourself "What reasons could the owners of the media have for pushing positive public opinion of the immigration this heavily?"

Syria was stable before, maybe not the most free, but it was pluralistic and fairly liberal society that was starting to come up, that is until Obama and al-Saud stuck their fingers in the Syrians' potato salad and started enabling radicalized Iraqi Sunnis and Europeans, Tunisians, Moroccans and Libyans with a touch of Chechens to come to Syria for jihad against the "Alawite-Safavid heretics (even though most of Syria's army is Sunni Arab". All with the shekelmeisters urging them on and doing some courtesy bombings in Syrian territory.

>There's geopolitical reasons that the immigration crisis is being universally praised in the media. They're censoring anyone who objects and running stories they know are false. It's plain to see this.


It's because those who have interests in continuing the Syrian conflict want to focus on the need to take in these refugees rather than addressing the reason why the Syrians are pouring into Europe in the first place and finding a way to return them home. The US has been plotting to overthrow the Assad family for years and now is practically forcing Europe to pay the costs of their screw up. Instead of owning up to that, American media and politicians are blaming Bashar and European racism for the refugee problem when any country should have the right to refuse large numbers of refugees that will become a burden on its tax system and people.

Arab countries don't like being forced to take in large numbers of Palestinian refugees when Israel's wars displace them, but Israel, instead of owning up to its mistakes, blames them for the sorry state of the Palestinians ('it's your fault Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt for not taking all the Palestinians and letting us take their clay'). Same principle is happening here. The people whose crusading against Bashar aren't owning up to their part in ruining Syria and instead are deflecting criticisms by pointing at the racist Europeans and those European governments who have played a role in escalating the conflict are trying to turn it into an issue of Europeans needing to be more open and multicultural and tolerant etc. But nobody wants to seriously address the issue of why almost half of Syria has been slaughtered or displaced. Probably because certain people know they'd have to address their own actions. It's easier to say "it's all because Bashar didn't step down" or "it's all because Russia supported Assad" or "it's because Europeans are still too racist"

That's a drastically different issue. There's some dispute as to the first settlers of the Americas. However, I'd agree with the statement that the Indians' genocide was immoral and regrettable. You imply the opposite in your post. Using the mistakes of the past as justification for current actions is stupid. Additionally, Indian culture was much less developed and was objectively more primitive, so in the respect of progress alone, the Indian genocide has at least a leg to stand on, as opposed to what we see in Europe today, which is precisely the opposite.

Just because a culture is less developed doesn't mean it's ok to be wiped out from earth. It's just basic ethics. Plus what defeated Native Americans wasn't the "more advanced civilization", it was the pox.

Europe as a united whole is a joke, Germans won't withstand Italians or Spaniards and won't allow them to have a job easily, Brits won't stand other Europeans. If you were to find a job in a different state in America you could do it without much hassle. and that's the problem with Europe.

Europe's population has been dwindling for a long time, this is just the product of that policy of xenophobia and closed borders to everyone even other Europeans that just recently Europe has been trying to fix.
And now Europe is stuck with a neverending flow of Muslim immigrants and won't be able to assimilate them because of their autistic culture. Just compare America, they also have Muslims but their 2nd generation migrants are Americans plan and simple, on the other hand Germany also has Turkish immigrants who not even now define themselves as German, and Germans don't even consider them Citizens, not even their grandchildren.

So Europeans had the chance to prepare before the current crisis started by becoming a more progressive place but they preferred their old ways so Europe'll have to deal with it.

Another trap is also believing that the worth of a civilization is determined by the quantity of its technological and scientific advancements.

A lot of people tend to take violence as a good barometer, but then more technologically advanced civilizations would have to be considered "primitive" when you consider how much death was caused during conflicts like the World Wars in which the major powers involved were the most advanced civilizations of their time in terms of science and tech.

Looking at the stats is also obvious when you are a double minority (black/woman) (woman/queer) you get a mix of the two that is greater than either oppression. However, like I said radfem is awful and this is getting off topic.

When I said calling other cultures primitive is bad, I didn't say it out of some liberal indoctrination, primitive usually refers to a section earlier in evolution. It is simply not accurate to say primitive because strip them both naked and take away the tech and you get the exact same species.

Our tribal ancestors were also the same species, but no one would argue that they were primitive, because they were by definition.

There are a set of primitive behaviours. When those behaviours are widespread in a culture, we can accurately say that the culture is primitive, or at the very last, has primitive practices.

This isn't about dehumanizing them. I don't think anyone argues that if those people were born and raised in a western country they would still be primitive by virtue of their background.

I explicitly said that I thought that the genocide was regrettable and immoral. However, in respect to technology, architecture, shipbuilding, and other scientific fields that can be judged empirically, the Europeans vastly outclassed the natives. Bringing amorphous concepts like ideology and religion into it clouds the issue. In those respects, yes the "We're more advanced so we'll conquer you" argument has no factual basis and is purely rhetoric. That is not always the case though.

First of all, other lanions' posts have been peppered in with mine. I did not make the first post regarding London, and I did not refer to the Britts as an empire

Secondly, on my mention of nationalism

The dynamic of nationalism vs internationalism is at the core of the discrepancies in our views. I am arguing for a country's right to a degree of homogeneousnes, and you are arguing the contrary, saying it is unrealistic and unnatural. Nationalism is in this way intrinsically tied to the rights of a people to remain secular. That's what we have been talking about.


>data on rates of minority growth as apposed to a country's levels of immigration rates would be more "real"


You act like I'm refuting the fact that globalization results in higher flow of people through a land. I'm not. A "natural flow of people due to goods and services" implies that the immigrants are trading and doing business with a country. The majority would not be integrating and assimilating into the culture long term. Immigrants that are in a country to conduct business by and large would still have ties to their homeland. Now we are back to my point,

>Natural flow of people attributable to goods and services is in no way comparable to the sort of subsidized and politicized immigration to Europe that we see today.



That is why I said the rate of growth of minority populations would be a more pertinent statistic to our discussion. It would largely compensate for the natural flow of peoples attributable to a major trade hub. I'm not "rejecting data because I don't like it". I was pointing out an extraneous variable. And in response you're trying to brush my legitimate points aside as petulant refusal of what's been presented, which is resorting to an ad-hominem logical fallacy.

This is all engineered by capitalists to fuarrrk over the working class. Think about it for a moment. Have you seen factory and company owners and investors worried or complaining about immigrants? Of course not, lower wages are a plus. Cheap foreign labor is best. Increased tensions between workers also increases competition in the market. Why do you think the US is stirring soykaf in the Middle East? And you, by attacking immigrants and fighting between yourselves, are fixing nothing. Know your real enemies. Attack the ones who are engineering and profiting from this, not other victims. That's all.

The answer is, like in most cases, it was both intentional and unintentional.

The unintentional part is that, lacking exposure to European diseases, the native Americans became very sick very quickly after just being exposed to normal environments for the Europeans. Only one of them survived the first passage back to Europe, for example. So the Europeans quickly figured out that the Americans were, if not weak to European diseases, weak to disease in general.

Then, when negotiation became difficult, they'd trade blankets that were used by children who contracted measles or pox or other common diseases, and watched as the Americans died of plague.

This is pretty well documented; the only example I know of is Lord Amherst but I'm sure there are others.

Maybe its because I'm an american and I'm relatively used to a heterogenous society, but I have no sympathy for the EU bitching about losing their homogenous society.

We have more illegal EU immigrants than you have refugees and fuarrrk ton more illegal Latin americans but no one is complaining about them establishing a catholic papacy or undermining the fabric of our society like EU fascists are whining about Syrian refugees establishing a caliphate and enacting sharia law.

Do you really think your societies are too fragile to handle a few thousand more strangers? We did that soykaf when we took you in. But if you think your culture is too weak to assimilate them then go ahead and vote more fascists into power cause that always works.

I'm honestly disappointed in my nation for not taking in more refugees. We could settle them in Detroit and the rest of the rust belt and they would be grateful for the chance to not be decapitated or blown up at any second.

I hear you bro, as a Murrican who lived in Euroland for 4 years (not anymore tho I'm in college now.) I totally get your point. I probably would go as far as to say that there are far more legal immigrants in America than refugees in Europe. But the problem with Europe is that precisely, assimilation. In America a son of immigrants is American, period (inb4 anchor baby Trump rant.) But in Europe, for instance Germany or France, it is completely normal for people to say "oh yeah I'm Turkish but I was born in Germany", it's never I'm German. Because not even 3 generations later immigrants feel European. The autoperceived French cultural exceptionalism and the "muh masterrace" are real, in fact, I can even say that I've witnessed more racial discriminatory acts in France and Germany against minorities (insults, beatings, etc.) than I've ever witnessed in America, and I am from the South.

I agree. I feel like the parallel to popular anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe is Donald Trump in the United States, and he's basically a joke that wins votes :/.

It's weird how politics in the United States versus Europe works - over there, they seem to be more socialist while we're less racist.

I mean, ms-13 certainly happened that way. It's not like Hispanic immigration to the US has been all kumbayah and cheap labor.

There's a big difference between a refugee crisis and a porous border, though. Syrian refugees can't control where they'll end up, so that can't plan things like bringing their gangs (that well at least) and they're not going to be able to smuggle drugs.
