Deleuze and Foucault really sucked the life out of Western philosophy. I can get the same insights from the anarchist hippie down the street.

Within a 100 years only Islamic theology will be taught in European universities, and it's probably for the better.

Maybe you should get involved with the peace movement instead of anti immigration. Africa and the middle east will never get better otherwise.

If someone needs help you help them, that's basic moral understanding. The problem is state bureaucracies are not capable of morality, democracy is amoral by nature.
Turning people in need away when you can help them is selfish cowardly and inhuman. Immigration would sort it self out without all the arbitrary restrictions of state sovernity/private property.

It totally can, foreign policy can make or break peace. Public opinion is easy to sway and democratic governments respond to the conscious of their governed(because they have to). The peace movement is about calling out bullshit. if everyone who was pissed off about refugees was as dedicated to giving them a home worth going back too, their problems would be non existent in no time and they wouldn't have any opposition.
Bitching about immigrants is not a practical thing to do. Bawwing about immigrants, and ganging up to prevent powerless people from making their lives better is never going to fix any problems, especially because it has such a strong moral opposition.

You have an incredibly naive view of how geopolitics works. Shitting on immigrants is obviously both useless and immoral, but every solution to the problems they face at home is either incredibly costly to the West (both monetarily and in terms of lives), or is going to make the problems worse (a la Iraq). There's no obvious solution to the problem proposed by any peace activist.

also don't forget that in ww2 European born citizens fled from totalitarian regimes, in our time the roles changed, and the west is playing big daddy without being grown up enough to know what the hell they are doing. the westerns states think that it can play the geopolitical game without getting their hands bloody

Elaborate. How are they vulnerable? I think you underestimate the economic wellbeing of the average "migrant" or "refugee," not to mention the increasing proportion of immigrants in countries like the UK, US and Canada who are economically better off than the majority of the working class "natives." Economic inequality in places like London is being accelerated by immigration and the rich playboys from abroad who own the city.

They're not vulnerable. Any violence against them is a backlash against their own unwillingness to integrate. It's why Islam causes problems wherever it goes, while Hindus and Buddhists do not.
Also that minority will become more and more violent as it increases in numbers.

>Thank you, by making a crude generalization about a group of people you made me realize that this group of people should not be defended from crude generalizations.

It's hardly crude when Islam has been historically always spread throughout Jihad, and not proselytization. Also the fact that Muhammad said that jihad is the best and most sacred thing a Muslim can do has no effect on the violent nature of the community whatsoever.

To go back to the original point, i do not get why leftists see anything worth defending in Islam. It oppresses women, hates all non-believers, has no concept of secularism, and is incapable of reformation by design. They're an enemy, in every sense of the word.

The decolonization of Africa had an overall negative effect. There are various reasons for this, chief among them the fact that African colonies had not been structured to be self-sustaining or independently successful. But if you want to be racist, surely the answer is "because Africans are incapable of taking care of themselves". There is never any hard evidence for claims such as this, but self-satisfied racists insist that it's the only logical answer, while turning a blind eye or blaming external factors whenever white people fail or underperform.

Many refugees are uneducated third-world people with uneducated third-world behaviors. They often don't know how to respect women and are certainly not tolerant of homosexuality or trans persons. They need to learn to conduct themselves in civil first-world society because they have no experience with that.

There is nothing wrong or racist in admitting that. However the fact that refugees are like this does not mean that there is a legitimate reason for rejecting them wholesale. The truth is first-world countries can accommodate for at least some of these people and teach them to behave.

"But I as a private citizen don't want to bear the cost of that!" You whine.

Yeah neither do I but what else are we going to do? Pretend the problem doesn't exist? Even if you utterly ignore the moral argument (very convenient, unless you also ignore the moral argument in all other situations), from a geopolitical perspective we need to start indoctrinating people into Western liberal democracy if it's going to survive.

Alt-right bois always complain about how we'll all be Muslims by 2050, but continue to insist that we should just ignore and keep away from the rapidly-growing Islamic world, as if we lived on different planets. If you really don't want to be "replaced" by Muslims, then maybe start educating those Muslims.

Racism is not comparable to those things because it is a belief rather than an action. It is very totalitarian to control people's minds and emotions in this way.

In any case I believe the basic intuition of racists is correct, and this is why you see the same pattern of racism among people in all parts of the world, with the exception that they rate their own race too highly usually.

The fact that many racists are pathological and irrational about their racism is due to humans just being that way about everything.

“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.”

Vulnerable to what? People having their own opinion? There's already anti-discrimination laws in every western nation.

Fun fact: In the United States hate crimes are overwhelmingly against Jews. They are the #1 most targetted demographic, the most vulnerable as you say. Look it up, it's a statistical fact. But do you hear a lot of leftist rhetoric about protecting them? Of course not, because it's not about empathy or helping your fellow citizens, it's about forwarding the leftist agenda which is arbitrary and utilizes whatever group is most convenient and marketable, regardless of reality or reason.

In America Democrats harp on about protecting Muslims and Mexicans and the need for immigrants because those are the groups who vote for them, or aligns with the sympathies of those who vote democrat, that's all. It's not some sinister plot to flood America with brown people, although that is an inadvertent consequence I suppose. This is the same reason they're so against reducing public spending, it would upset their key demographics.

You don't even need to make the racist argument (which you can), you can just say that many of these things are inherited and that by being colonised they became the inheritors of a grand tradition, so to say. Plus all of the infrastructure you need to "exploit" the third world, that they kept. Would anyone* deny that Roman imperialism was good for Europe?
