<p>> 99% of "immigration problems" are because of poverty and inequality<p>That's just made up claim there's no evidence to support this. Even if it were true it's not the taxpayers responsibility to import all the degenerate murderers and rapists from all over the world in the hopes of civilizing them.<p>Why should someone from a developed country agree to give up their safety and wealth to run this ridiculous and deadly experiment?</p>

<p>It makes perfect sense. Differentiating between a good and bad ones is the easiest thing ever.<p>1. Are they a net benefit to the country's finances? Do they pay more than enough taxes to cover the public services they use and then some. Or are they just a leech on the welfare system and a burden to society in general.<p>2. Do they integrate well into the society? Do they commit crimes?<p>3. To whom is their allegeince? The society they live in or the one back home? Do they promote the interests of their own ethnic group at the expense of the natives?<p>The first two are already available to state, tax, crime, welfare records. The third can be found out with a simple investigation.</p>

<p>I always dreamt of migrating to some european country but seeing their suicidal policy of importing the worst from all over the world I've completely abandoned the idea.<p>If this passes maybe there is some hope after all.<p>Note: In case anyone wants to exclaim xenophobia or some other nonsense I'm also part of the "xenos". So no it's not xenophobic to want your country to be safe and prosperous.</p>

<p>The Rwandan genocide, Holodomor, invasion of Nanjing, Mao's massacres, Gaza right now none of which are remotely related to W.Superacists yet just as brutal if not more. Humans have been fighting and killing each other forever it's in our nature. We can't be biased if we want to rise above our own nature.<p>We can't convice any WS if we single out the attrocities of "their group" while ignoring others. That's why they don't even care anymore. They see the hypocrisy. They're told they can't have an ethnostate while being forced to pay for and protect another group's ethnostate which is engaged in genocide as we speak.</p>

<p>The thing is linux desktop is pretty damn good for a lot of people for their day to day needs. It's just the office tools and gaming. Cloud tools like google docs can handle the office side and valve can sovle gaming. But there still remains the issue of convincing people.<p>My mom works as a translator and all she needs is email, something to edit documents in and a browser, thats it. She was able adapt to ubuntu pretty fast even though she's not the kind of person who likes learning new tech.<p>There must be millions of users just like her. But people are very resistant to change and few have an annoying linux evangelist like myself in the house to push them.<p>We need to get them young somehow. I'm thinking around highschool.</p>

<p>Hmmm... I really wonder what the said tyrants did when they got into power? Oh that's right they imposed heavy restrictions on speech and all forms of media. And it's not like there was free speech before them, the Weimar republic tried banning them as well. It's almost like challenging ideas and defeating them on an intellectual level is far better than trying to supress them.</p>

<p>> You're straw-manning. I never proposed anything like government enforcement against misinformation.<p>Tyranny is the only alternative to free speech. I just don't see it ending in any other way.<p>> I don't think misinformation should be illegal, for the reasons you touch on: You certainly don't want government deciding the truth.<p>Awesome! Then we can stop making such a big deal out of misinformation and protect free speech.<p>> But I can at least hope you can agree that misinformation as a concept is unethical, right? People are literally dying because of misinformation.<p>Yes lying is unethical it's been established thousands of years ago.</p>

<p>Sorry but I'm not willing to live in an insane orwellian world just so your grandma gets her vaccine. It's her family's responsiblity to convince her and if she still refuses shes an adult she has the right to refuse treatment and vaccines.<p>As for libel, it has always existed and always will. There are laws against it to protect people if they suffer any damage from it. It's not without consequences.<p>What you're proposing is so much worse. Imagine a tyrant government is after you and has control on information like you propose. How will you protect yourself from the goverment's false accusations?</p>
