Thread by @willsolfiac on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "One example I didn't have space to bring up in my recent article on the spread of the 'nation of immigrants' article is Ireland, which is a fascinating example because its immigration advocates are coming to exactly the same conclusions as in Britain, but from a completely different historical basis. So if Britain must become a nation of immigrants because it had an empire, Ireland must become one because it sent out lots of poor emigrants. The conclusion is always the same.
See this article for an example. As well as making this argument, he claims that Ireland's refugee crisis comes from Western-caused wars in the middle east. The top five source countries for asylum in Ireland in 2025 were:
1. Somalia
2. Nigeria
3. Pakistan
4. Afghanistan
5. Georgia
So only one that could plausibly be linked to wars in the middle east."
Saying that all Muslims are responsible for the actions of any Muslim is racist and Islamophobic, but saying that all white people are responsible for the actions of any white person at any point in history is anti-racist and anti-colonialist

Sister of Stardust victim tells jury of moment she jumped on alleged Parnell Square attacker - "A WOMAN WHOSE brother was a victim of the Stardust nightclub fire has told the Central Criminal Court how she was taking a break from an inquest into his death when she confronted a man stabbing children in Dublin city centre. Siobhan Kearney today told a trial jury that she “jumped” on the defendant Riad Bouchaker (52) and tried to get him to the ground. She said the knife he was wielding landed at her feet and she kicked it away while things went “really crazy”, with people hitting Bouchaker. Kearney described how she then locked hands with another woman to protect Bouchaker from further blows. She said she started screaming “we’re not savages” as people tried to get at the accused."
Some people claim it was unjustified to continue to hit him because he was on the ground and had no more knife and thus was no longer a thread, but even handcuffed suspects who have been searched by the police can guns, or even fire them, even hitting police

Love Island’s Billykiss Azeez: People assume I’m not Irish. It hurts - "The government has come under pressure from an unlikely advocate for hate speech legislation: a Love Island contestant. Billykiss Azeez, who lives in Dublin but is originally from Nigeria, has spoken about her disappointment with the decision by the Fianna Fail and Fine Gael-led coalition to park new laws after a political and public backlash over perceived threats to free speech. “It’s disappointing to hear that the government, whose job and responsibility is obviously to protect the people, will not push to get that hate speech legislation in place,” Azeez, 28, told The Sunday Times. It’s disappointing to see that they’re not putting the people first. The people is everyone; it doesn’t matter if their ethnicity is pure Irish, white Irish, or if they’re black Irish.” "

Andy Ngo on X - "Dublin, Ireland — While in the city center of @Dublin_ie , I was told to go back to China. I was reporting at a migrant encampment by the canal when this happened. An NGO worker pitching tents tried to stop my interview with the migrants, who are all adult males. She also falsely claimed it was illegal to record them in public. Ireland has been experiencing a migrant crisis fueled by a surge of foreign nationals mostly from Africa and the Middle East. Nonprofit groups have been helping build tent cities around Dublin."

Melissa Chen on X - "This explains what Lee Kuan Yew observed in 2011 when he said: “I have to speak candidly to be of value, but I do not wish to offend the Muslim community. I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came, and if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration – friends, intermarriages and so on, Indians with Chinese, Chinese with Indians – than Muslims. That’s the result of the surge from the Arab states. I would say today, we can integrate all religions and races except Islam.” This specific attitude is anathema to pluralistic democratic societies. If the government tolerates Islamic exceptionalism, then the social fabric frays which destabilizes society. And if you think totalitarian ethnostates would welcome the refusal to assimilate, may I remind you of what is going on in Xinjiang, China."
Is it racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic to say that Muslims don't assimilate when they say it themselves?
Tyson Zahner | Facebook - "Ask a progressive what gentrification is… They'll almost certainly be able to tell you that when a large enough group of people moves into a community, it...
* fundamentally changes that community.
* Long-term residents get displaced.
* The cultural identity of the neighborhood erodes.
* Businesses that served the original community close.
* New ones open that cater to the newcomers.
* The people who built the community no longer recognize the place they call home.
They'll tell you these are legitimate grievances. They'll tell you the long-term residents have every right to be upset. They'll tell you that demographic change has real consequences for real people and that pretending otherwise is either naive or dishonest. And they're right.
So why does all of that understanding suddenly evaporate the moment the same dynamic applies to mass immigration?
When a community of people primarily born in America experiences rapid demographic change, the same things happen. Cultural character shifts. Economic pressures emerge. Long-term residents feel displaced. Community institutions and norms change. The people who built the community watch it become unrecognizable. If you understand why residents of Harlem might have legitimate concerns about an influx of outsiders transforming their neighborhood, then you already understand why American citizens might have legitimate concerns about rapid, large-scale demographic change transforming theirs. Same principle. Same dynamics. Same human instinct to care about the place you call home. But suggest that out loud and suddenly you’re a racist or you’re a xenophobe or you're a conspiracy theorist pushing "Great Replacement Theory." Funny how that works."
Otter's Rock - "This is probably a little too much nuance, but whenever I see a "all borders are violence" post (a political position I generally agree with!) I always add a little asterisk that says "*but the border checks that keep you from bringing homegrown produce into big agricultural areas to avoid the transmission of parasites and invasive species are actually fine and if we were more vigilant about that kind of thing maybe we wouldn't have spotted lanternflies in the states." That doesn't work as well as a slogan, though"
"Things borders should be for:
Biosecurity
Customs management (you do not want people importing a bunch of stuff that doesn't meet your country's safety standards, for example)
Things like that one lake in Europe where three national borders coincide and they built an island specifically so you can run between countries for fun
Things borders shouldn't be for:
Policing who can and can't come into a country"
Left wing logic: "So basically, keeping spotted lanternflies out is more important than keeping murderers out? If you say so..."

African refugee who sexually abused niece spared deportation - "A low IQ African refugee who sexually abused his nine-year-old niece has been allowed to stay in Australia because he would lose access to NDIS support for his intellectual disability if deported back to Sierra Leone. The illiterate child sex offender, 37, was anonymised as YGTC to protect his identity by the Administrative Review Tribunal in Melbourne on Thursday after successfully appealing the October 2025 cancellation of his humanitarian visa. ART Senior Member Margret Bourke overturned the cancellation under immigration minister Tony Burke’s controversial Ministerial Direction 110, which has resulted in dozens of serious criminals being spared deportation in recent months. The tribunal heard that YGTC was convicted of two counts of indecent act with a child aged under 16 years for abusing his sister’s daughter in 2015, but spared jail and given an 18-month Community Corrections Order (CCO) after pleading guilty in 2019. While under the CCO he was referred to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, placed on an NDIS plan and has continued to receive support services, the tribunal heard, and was not required to complete a sex offender program as he was assessed as “low risk”. Ms Bourke noted that YGTC had “an intellectual functioning in the extremely low range, with tests recording that he functions in the first or second percentile”, meaning he has an IQ lower than 69, and therefore did not warn him against self-incrimination at the start of the hearing so as not to “confuse” him. She found that he would face “significant social and economic hardship” if returned to his home country, as “the assistance available for persons with disabilities in Sierra Leone is virtually non-existent”... She further found that it was in the best interests of YGTC’s two minor children, aged 1 and 2, for him to remain in Australia, that his wife and parents rely on his for support, and that he was unlikely to reoffend, even though a psychologist found he had “no insight into the effect of the behaviour on his niece”... This year alone the ART has used the ministerial direction to restore the visas of a Chinese wife-killer, an Ethiopian rapist, an obese homosexual Indian paedophile, an Iranian drug smuggler, a killer Sri Lankan driver, and a Sudanese refugee who was jailed over the fatal stabbing of an Australian teenager."

Do Immigrants Import Their Economic Destiny? - "over the extremely long run, a good predictor of your nation’s current economic behavior is your nation’s ancestors’ past behavior. Exceptions exist, but so does the rule. Recently, a small group of economists have found more systematic evidence on how the past predicts the present. Overall, they find that where your nation’s citizens come from matters a lot... There are three major long-run predictors of a nation’s current prosperity, which combine to make up a nation’s SAT score:
Dr. Sydney Watson on X - "I find feminists today really fascinating. They have long made this argument that "it's not all men, but it is always a man" But, conveniently, that doesn't apply to immigrants - especially when we know a HUGE PORTION of these "asylum seeks" and "refugees" are fighting age men from countries that hate women. Feminists use the analogy that, if you had a bowl of M&Ms and knew a few were poisoned, you wouldn't take the chance eating any. To them, this applies to men - most men might be fine, but you wouldn't chance finding out which ones are not. But, again, all of this self-preservation dies when it comes to immigration. All I can conclude is if these women acknowledged their cognitive dissonance, their brains would break. So, it's a lot easier to fight for the rights of invaders, and justify their violence and shittiness, rather than acknowledge that their ideology is broken and flawed. I've said it a million times - the FEMINIST position is one that is anti mass immigration. It is one that protects women from the hundreds of thousands of foreign males who do not respect women, and believe we are lesser than. It bothers me endlessly than these women are sowing the seeds of not only THEIR own destruction, but the destruction of the rest of us women as well. And they're too arrogant and militant to see that."

Christian Heiens ๐ on X - "The math behind this is actually really fascinating, and it explains why the Left has to rely so much on institutional capture and mass migration to remain alive. The children of Liberals adopt their worldview 89% of the time, while Conservatives see their kids adopt theirs 81% of the time. But this advantage on the Left is dwarfed by the fact that they’re essentially an anti-catalyst movement. We know that women have kids at a higher rate than men across the board, but Conservative men have kids at a higher rate than even Liberal women. This means that ~59% of Conservatives become parents, while just ~31% of Liberals do. That’s almost a 2X fertility advantage. And when you multiply those numbers by the ideological detainment rate on both sides, you see that:

S: How long ago the nation’s ancestors lived under an organized state.
A: How long ago the nation’s ancestors began to use Neolithic agriculture techniques.
T: How much of the world’s available technology the nation’s ancestors were using in 1000 B.C., 0 B.C., or 1500 A.D...
On average, nations with high migration-adjusted SAT scores are vastly richer than nations with lower SAT scores: Countries in the top 10% of migration-adjusted technology (T) in 1500 are typically at least 10 times richer than countries in the bottom 10%. If instead you mistakenly tried to predict a country’s income today based on who lived there in 1500, the relationship would only be about one-third that size. The migration adjustment matters crucially: Whether in the New World, across Southeast Asia, or in Southern Africa, one can do a better job predicting today’s prosperity when you keep track of who moved where. It looks like at least in the distant past, migrants shaped today’s prosperity... Overall, the relationship between a nation’s percent population of Chinese descent in 1980 and current economic freedom is strongly positive. Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the countries with the largest percentage of post-1500 Chinese immigrants, are the freest. Hong Kong, which had only a few thousand Chinese residents before the British arrival, is now the economically freest country in the world. Malaysia (a third of whose residents are of Chinese descent) and Thailand (10 percent) are next, and Malaysia is clearly the freer of the two. The remaining countries, Laos and Myanmar, are substantially less economically free than Singapore... Economists have long known that some of the strongest statistical predictors of long-run national prosperity have been “percent Confucian” and “percent Buddhist.” A famed paper coauthored by Xavier Sala-i-Martin demonstrated that conclusively. It’s time for scholars to investigate whether, for most countries, a pro-Confucian migration policy is a good option... second-generation immigrants to the U.S. are more likely to favor income redistribution policies if they come from a country where the average citizen today also favors more redistribution. In this case, attitudes migrate, so heavy immigration from pro-redistribution cultures will tend to boost a nation’s number of pro-redistribution citizens decades later. More importantly, the same holds for trusting behavior... trusting attitudes migrate. And the link from trust to economic performance is well-accepted at this point: One famous paper, “Does Social Capital Have an Economic Payoff?” [Answer: Yes] is now routinely cited in economics textbooks. And why do low-trust societies generate worse economic performance? One reason is that low-trust individuals demand more government regulation... One particular attitude has been well-studied in the migration literature: Strong family ties. This is often known as “amoral familism,” the view that you should help out your family, right or wrong. In comparative anthropology and sociology, it’s well known that cultures strong in amoral familism tend to be places where children live with their parents into adulthood, where corruption is common, and where identity is heavily shaped by one’s extended family... At this point, it’s clear that attitudes migrate to a substantial degree, and at least in democracies, they’re likely to take those attitudes into the voting booth. There’s an old saying in the migration policy world, a line by Max Frisch: “We wanted workers, we got people instead.” It looks like that saying needs updating: “We wanted workers, we got voters instead.”... giving the vote to women really did change government in a more progressive, expansionist direction... Women did not quietly, meekly vote for whatever the men around them supported. They had their own minds, and those minds, when empowered by the vote, moved policy in a more progressive direction. And notice that the longer-run effect was twice the immediate effect: Expanding the franchise to a group that favored more government spending indeed increased government spending, but it took decades to see the full effect. In U.S. history, new voters have mattered. And this is no one-off study: the policy impact of female suffrage has been studied extensively... “eliminating poll taxes raised welfare spending by 11 to 20 percent” among other findings, so once again, new voters made important progressive policy change a reality... Government policies don’t radiate from subterranean mineral deposits: they are in large part the product of its voting citizens. And in the long run, new citizens lead to new policies."
Clearly, mass migration from poor countries with weak institutions and low human capital can only strengthen a first world country
viet thanh nguyen @viet_t_nguyen: ""Third World" refugee here. I have a PhD in English and I won a Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. What have you done?"
A PhD in English and he still doesn't know what "most" means
59% x .81 = 47.8
31% x .89 = 27.6
So that rounds to a minimum of 48 Conservative-aligned children per 100 Conservative adults, compared to a minimum of just 28 Liberal-aligned children per 100 Liberal adults. Conservatives are reproducing their worldview at ~70% higher rate per adult than liberals. And this is a minimum estimate because all our math here assumes that both the Conservable and Liberal families had only one kid, but we know Conservatives on average have much larger families. The Left can’t compete with this organically, so they have to essentially steal the children of Conservatives through the education and media system (which they’ve all ideologically hijacked) and import new voters who will make up for their own collapsing birthrates. If you ended all immigration and dismantled their dominance over education, the Left would be extinct in 20 years."
