15 Comments on "Erase the borders"

It’s simple lifeboat ethics, let everyone on the lifeboat, we all drown.

And what would erasing the borders solve? Don’t get me wrong, it is a beautiful idea, but completely impractical. I have always wished I lived in a world without borders. I have also always wished I lived in a world in which humans were smart, which would be a prerequisite for the above. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! People are incredibly stupid and they like having countries because we are essentially an ignorant, stupid, primitive, tribal species.

This crisis is because they DID erase the borders. The Europeans also lost their heritage too, this is what you get after 2 generations of pinko liberalism, a bunch of lemmings. Not able to see the wolves are circling the sheep.

No – close the borders completely.
The “refugees” are just here to get lazy and comfortable.
That is why they dont stop in the first – nor the second nor the third nor the fourth nor the fifth peaceful country they pass through.
No – they pass through all those peaceful countries that do not have extensive welfare systems. Travelling 1000s of extra kilometers to reach scandinavia and germany.
They are here to get “free money” – not safety.
The countries that surrounds Denmark that does not have extensive welfare – like poland do not receive ANY “refugees” – that is – no refugees go there willingly.
peakyeast on Sat, 26th Sep 2015 10:41 am
For example here in Denmark: “Refugees” from Somalia has an employment rate of 1% – that is 99% is on welfare. And many sends money back home.. Recently there was a case where a Somalian mother of 9 kids (all born in Denmark) sends almost 100.000$ from welfare to Somalia…
Its the same with most moslims. Asians however never uses the welfare systems.
I wonder why that is?

It all comes down to climate and resources,, and whether individual countries want to save what’s left for themselves. In the end, climate/resource migrations will go truly global. George Mobus posted his take recently:
“[big snip]…
As the MENA refugee crisis unfolds this fall we will have a good view of what to expect world-wide. Right now a fair amount of European sentiment is in support of the migrants (I know there is a technical difference between a migrant and a refugee, but as I claimed above, these refugees are really climate-escape migrants). As more and more pour into the continent we will see how long this sentiment carries. There are many anti-migrant advocates already making noises and trying to get more political purchase. A lot will depend on the economic strength of the countries taking in the migrants — will the local natives be able to get jobs? — and the behavior of the immigrants. There is a real danger of culture clash based on the religious backgrounds of Muslim immigrants and secular (or Christian) natives. I refuse to predict anything on this count. The situation is too chaotic.”

Most western nations have disfavoured domestic labour, in favour of imported labour in order to reduce and limit marginal wage costs. The impact has been the creation of a wealth gap in the economies, which has been plastered over by welfare. In fact welfare is seen by most governments as a form of legitimate spending! Think of how many goods and services will be needed now because of immigration. It’s this shortsightedness that will spur the west to its inevitable destruction.

I think that you will fund that it doesn’t matter. Population has exceeded carrying capacity in most of the world. Like all other animals when the supplies run out, its time to migrate. I am certain that in the near future you will be a migrant or conversly you will live in an area dealing with immigrants. Imme or Emmi you will all be affected. Overshoot is real. Hope on the orher hand-not so much.

Do you think that this is all accidental? I don’t. What is the prerequisite for a world government?
Answer: The leveling of the masses. That would only leave the 1%ers with all of the resources and wealth and power. BTW: That averages out to about $10,000 per year for each of the 7.4 billion of us. Welcome to Armenia, #137 out of 194 countries.
We are growing at ~80 million per year, 220,000 per day, about 10,000 per hour, or 400 per minute or 6 new humans every second. That exceeds the deaths of the two world wars added together, military and civilian.
We have to get more efficient if we want to cut population! The mini wars aren’t working. GMO poisons are being rejected. Not enough drug over doses. Not enough suicides from debt overload. Not enough refugee ships are sinking. Come on people! Get with it! Nuke the bastards! (Sark, of course.)
BTW: I think the borders are pretty much erased already. 1 million per year of LEGAL immigrants into the Us, not to mention maybe another million illegal. Floods of North Africans moving farther north in ever increasing numbers. Funny that I have not read about any migrations in the Asian areas. Did I miss something?
Oh, yes. The Chinese Mafia criminals are moving to America in the hope that they will not be extradited back to China. They don’t have to worry, China doesn’t want them. We send China our money and they send us their mafia. At the present time, I believe there are about 30,000 such the US is trying to ship back, but China ‘lost their paperwork’. LMAO

I guess you did, Mak:
“No respite for Rohingya in Bangladesh
The mass exodus of Rohingya from Myanmar after the 2012 riots in Arakan state was the most recent episode of decades of persecution and forced evacuation.
In 1991-92, more than 250,000 fled across the border into Bangladesh after an alleged escalation of killings, torture, rape and forced labour at the hands of the Myanmar’s notorious military. A similar mass departure also occurred in 1977.
Much of the modern-day ethnic division and persecution was created and entrenched by the 1982 Citizenship Act, which effectively withdrew citizenship from the Rohingya. …”

…and: Bangladesh, Burma refugees have nowhere to go
“Abandoned at sea, thousands of Bangladeshis and members of Myanmar’s long-persecuted Rohingya Muslim-minority appeared Wednesday to have no place to go after two Southeast Asian nations refused to offer refuge to boatloads of hungry men, women and children….
…Southeast Asia is in the grips of a spiraling humanitarian crisis, with about 1,600 migrants landing on the shores of the two Muslim-majority countries that over the years have shown the most sympathy for the Rohingyas’ plight.
With thousands more believed to be in the busy Malacca Strait and nearby waters — some stranded for more than two months — activists believe many more boats will try to make land in the coming days and weeks.

Like I said, climate/resource/political/ethnic migrations are going global and nothing but force and genocide will stop it. Your planet is running out of room, and stuff. Too many claims on too few resources. In SE Asia, sea level rise will create an ongoing increase in dislocated populations looking for somewhere, anywhere, to go. Best get your ass to the farm, Mak, and expect visitors.

The story of the Rohingya and what the Myanmar government has done to them is one of the greatest injustices commited by humans in my lifetime. I have always associated it with what the Jews have done to the Muslims in Palestine.

Countries are based on the premises that they are carved out living space for the tribe and its descendents. These should be aggressively defended, not allowing people of other nations and tribes to settle on their land.
We’re on the cusp of a huge, massive, environmentally triggered genocide in the world and we need to seriously hedge our bets and fortify our castles in all the necessary ways to defend ourselves from the tidal forces of resource scarcity and angry, hostile tribes trying to secure prosperity by violent conquest.
The Europeans are totally clueless. The Arabs have grown genocidal as a result of resource scarcity (think ISIS), and are using religion to justify land grabs. They’ll probably end up with this giant yugoslav style war in the next 20 years. We, living in the United States, could expect that central americans and Mexicans could grow violent and restless towards us, and this is is already mestatizing in the form of ultra-violent drug cartels and ethnic lobbying seeking to undermine our laws.
We can start by aggressively locking out central americans and Mexicans from “our country”.

ghung, Bangla has been an ongoing migration. I did forget it. Thanks.
makati1 on Sat, 26th Sep 2015 11:49 pm
Anoymous, how do you expect to do that? With a giant wall? LOL
Your government WANTS them. They work cheap, live 10-20 in a home/apartment, taking down the wage rates and promoting discontent among the sheeple.
Chaos is the goal of America, including in their own country. Makes Marshal Law implementation easier at home and plunder easier abroad. No different than any other rogue nation or 3rd world banana republc dictatorship.

Over POPULATION is the worlds worst environmental problem.
Endless population growth is not sustainable.
Around the world we can find a food crisis, a water crisis, a declining fish stocks crisis, a Climate Change crisis, an unemployment crisis and an OVER POPULATION crisis.
