So ture. How many govts have been toppled in recent times through military action. I think surprise is that it is happening first time to west without direct military action. Last time govt was toppeled in west was French govt in WW2.

Well i hear sometimes that india was better off under imperial rule than now. There was better rule of law. I guess india should have waited another 50-100 years for independence.

I doubt it even works for trade. Full free trade has caused money flow to 3rd world countries at the cost of natives. China has policy of trading off ip for privilege of cheap manufacturing. So its growing in tech at the cost of west. What west gets in return in temporary cheap goods and must of 2$ crap toys which break.

And what makes u think that people who come acustomed to those values and cultures will auddenly change when broight to rich countries?

Well written. Totally agreed. There is systematic underestimation of culture migration along with all its goods and bads in these articles. No one digs into why the country became what it is.

Details? I dont know a german to ask!

“If enough of them came, they might vote for an Islamist government...”

Given the rate of expansion of islam, i would say when not if.

I am ok with selective immigration. But open borders is truly crazy idea at this point. If we open borders like suggested next thing we know will be - developed countries becoming like garbage dumps we see in other countries. There is a reason why some countires fall into downward spirals. If u get its people en mass without filters, you get that mentality too.

Why dont we experiment in smaller scale with liberal companies like facebook/google/microsoft opening its employment where anyone from anywhere can come and say i want to be employed here and goog/fb/msft have to take them in? Lets even throw in a restriction that person should be cs degree holder from anywhere in the world. Lets see how it goes.

Didnt church burn people in the name of heresy to conserve their power. It included much celebrated joan of arc in france.

Why is boundary around your house also not an absurdity? Can few people stay there tonight or permanently. Tgey might not respect you though.

Come on. Yet another political/social piece.

What kind of political crap being submitted in hn now a days. Pretty rare to see any technical business things. Just politics.

Seriously? All the proclaimed freedom in country is built on the backs of soldiers/police. And we are worried about helping them? If we cant trust the govt then boot them. I am more worried about big companies which are accountable to small set of shareholders more than big govt accountable to najority.

Why is this even worth discussing?
