Thanks again for once again perfectly illustrating my point. 

Just for the record this was not planned, it's just this easy to attract them.

But THEY'RE NOT ANTISEMITIC! And never suggest it or inquisition will break lose on you..

Thank you for perfectly illustrating my point 😘

I just gave you the example of house prices in Lisbon, and those are not being pulled up by cheap labour, but uncontrolled migration also means cheap labor.

And no, a EU citizen in another EU country is not an immigrant. But an American digital nomad in Lisbon yes, is indeed an immigrant. 

Also, advocating for limits and policies that regulate migration doesn't mean being against it all together. It's not a yes or no question, precisely what I've been trying to say since the first comment.

You say something less negative about Israel and get immediately banned from several popular communities. It is a problem, there's less hate speech than on Reddit for sure, but the hate speech that you see is perfectly tolerated and standard, like hating Israel.

Iran has been helping Russia this all time, STFU. 

You're the one advocating for cheap labour without restrictions, how am I the one carrying the flame for the rich? The rich love cheap labour! But yeah, with that dominant ideology among left parties, no wonder the popular classes vote far-right...

No region of the world can receive millions of people without disruptions. Some thousands and you have a housing crisis already, shitty apartments in Lisbon are more expensive than good ones in Brussels. And the total of the population barely changed..

Also, migration without controls is a neoliberal agenda, not a left one. Controlled economy doesn't work with uncontrolled migration. It's weird to me that it's always the left carrying the defense of migration when it's something of a free market ideology. Socialist countries are always extremely controlling of their borders.

The problem of the debate on migration is that it's always black and white, it's difficult to have nuance, and this is a complex topic where nuance is essential to achieve a reasonable policy, one that allows needed workers from outside Europe to work in Europe, but one that also addresses the safety and demographic concerns of Europeans. The debate is clearly being won by the far-right, although they easily reverse their own policies when they see a negative impact on their businesses.

But the left won't win this if their position is always and only of defense of current policies against far-right attacks. Europe needs migration, but Europeans also need assurances that that migration doesn't put in question their social contract and their way of life. And these are indeed being put to test in several places around Europe. Easy cheap labour makes everyone's jobs more precarious, especially among the less qualified ones. Muslim migration is indeed changing the way of life in many neighborhoods and cities around Europe, in a way that doesn't please the locals. There are real issues with real consequences in the real world, lefty university professors praising diversity while living in gentrified areas and having the most secure jobs in the country won't be the ones winning the debate.

She could simply boycott like many artists did, but she doesn't want to pay that price, she prefers instead to try to profit from the situation. Quite lame actually.

Third world countries getting contaminated by woke speech and consequently screwed.. the woke professors in the West are not the ones getting worse living standards out of the silly policies they inspire. Lower French investment in Algeria has real consequences for people in Algeria. The woke guys in the West will continue to afford and consume French wine.
