Honestly, white populations are being replaced through open-border policies. I'm not really a tribal person, so I don't particularly care about maintaining a population with any specific demographic makeup. I also wouldn't say that ideas about population replacement are necessarily fake or something like that. I do currently support controlled borders for a nation-state, but not because I want to control the ethnic composition of the population. In my opinion, that kind of thinking is strange and overly tribal.
Excuse me but could you explain what an "open border policy" even is? Are you talking about visas for skilled labor? Is this something to do with migrant seasonal labor? Refugee programs?
What the fuck are you even talking about? There's not a single goddamn country in the world that meets the criteria for some definitions of "open borders" and other defitions are met by every single country on earth.
Supporting or not supporting "open borders" is not a political stance because there's no meaning to the words, its nonsense.
It's one of those terms that means different things to different people, which can cause problems when discussing policy, similar to how people use the term "democratic socialism." The literal definition of "open borders" would be an anarchic policy. The context in which I used the term, which you probably didn't understand, perhaps due to a poor explanation on my part, was referring to open borders as a lack of adequate enforcement or supervision of the border (which, in effect, is an open border), with enough immigration to shift electoral outcomes or to supplant a native population's norms, culture, etc.
So what you're saying is "open borders" is used to describe a "feeling" you have about the border. Its not a factual description, its not an objective description, its an emotional invokation of a feeling you have regarding the border and like tourists from mexico or something.
I don't understand. The idea that inadequate border control policies & immigration policies can lead to mass migration into a country seems quite objective to me. I'd say I'd be making an empirical claim thingo there, no? Did I mess up some phrasing or something earlier?
You understood "open borders" is subject to wildly different interpretations yet you still used it because it represents what you want to convey the best: Your personal feelings.
There's no way to measure the following as they are weasel words for people's feelings because they represent goals or thresholds nobody agrees on and people can always say they're upset about them regardless of measurable outcomes.
There's way to measure:
Which measurable outcomes are you actually upset about?
