That’s bc the ppl doing the complaining aren’t Individualists, they’re faux-Collectivists (faux bc they’re not actually altruistic; they simply pin useful group/identity labels on their ego in order to maintain a sense of moral superiority & self-righteousness). They’re adrift.

All seriousness, anyone offended by the term shld use their annual 2 weeks of paid vacation to visit slums in Haiti, El Salvador, or even parts of the U.S. You can find shitholes all over the world. That doesn’t mean ppl there are shitty. Last thing they need is faux-sympathy.

Mass immigration used as a weapon or a tool to fundamentally change a nation's demographic makeup also undercuts individuality.

Why does everyone think immigration during the largest international migration is a conspiracy? It’s a response to one crisis or another. There is more generative capacity with difference from diverse individuals & ideas “mixing.”

Throw me off in a discussion with imagery as if an entire nation is a melted down collective hive mind for IQ. And that this is explanation and rationale for why the world is the way it is & should form immigration policy. *White supremacy!*

I called USA a
#shithole on twitter for a while, it most certainly doesn’t literally translate to USA only contains *shit. It’s merely a figure of speech, at most, it critiques issues of fascism, Satan quo, intentional in grouping per racism sexism & otherization, etc#freespeechThanks.

You know that the implied causality is not from country to individual citizens. It is, undoubtedly, from biological essense of "volk" to essential/eternal 'kultur", to institutions and practices, to concrete individuals. Naked "scientific racism".
