    What do you mean by the crocodile tears of 4000 white people? You're mask is slipping.

    crocodile tears "for" not "of".

    Your own mask is somewhat transparent.

    No the rest of your post did. Herrenvolk is a clear Nazi reference. Why was that necessary?

    That poster was discussing ancestral right to return. We extend it in a certain form to people of irish lineage, whose ancestors may have left Ireland quite a number of years ago, through eligibility for irish passports.

    Can you clarify what you meant by the herrenvolk comment like a good man?

    Let's not be moronic or tricky. Most posters who are bemoaning the situation of white Zimbabweans are not in favour of increasing asylum seeker numbers into Europe and Ireland whereas the majority of the left-wing posters are.


    Why would we increase numbers above present levels? We have decidedly finite resources/negative cash flows/budget deficits. It would not be wise at all.

    Infrastructure is already creaking at the seams and adding more people to the equation will worsen it. Like wasn't a portion of the London sewer system shut down for a couple days last year because it was blocked by tampons and other junk?

    Our services and cities were not designed for the sheer numbers we have today, but for the natural population curve (if even). Most of Europe is not talking about increasing migrant numbers, but decreasing, because of this realistic concerns. So be careful what you wish for.

    I obviously mean the crocodile tears of people on this thread. You know that and are trying to misdirect things because it's too hard to engage other people's ideas, right?

    Crocodile tears come from people who otherwise want to bar immigrants and asylum seekers who are in genuine need but favour the letting in thousands of other people in need because of their race.

    We take in much, much more asylum seekers than anywhere else in the developed world - http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/77923000/gif/_77923075_destinations_by_regions_20140916_v2.gif

    I never proposed giving the Zims of European descent asylum. I proposed that we give them an ancestrial visa, allow them work where there are labour shortages and for them to earn citizenship. No welfare, no acting the bollix.

    Which is a great idea, genuinely! But can we not allow black farmers in too into regions that need farm labourers? Can we allow them a track towards citizenship and allow their generations to develop the land too? Is that acceptable to you personally?

    If it is, we're in agreement with one of the solutions to the situation in Zimbabwe.

    And you speak for all of them right?

    Do you even know what you are talking about?

    Why in God's name would any sane individual want to increase the numbers of asylum seekers anywhere given the rampant abuse by economic migrants and welfare tourists in their midst?

    There is a global argument for proper administration of temporary protection for bona fide refugees, permanent, if no solution is found within a given time-frame as per UNHCR design.

    His suggestion being a system that is already in place, and that many of those people could possibly be already eligible for, be extended to skilled workers, who will probably integrate well, have some assets so they would be self sufficient and not a burden on the state.

    I'm not sure it's that simple. There is no self esteem problem with people who seem to think they speak representatively of entire continents of people and indeed, races. Quite the opposite I suspect.

    You linked to a very racist speech by a man who inspired a racist mass murderer to bomb a federal building in America, wiping out a creche full of children in that building!

    Why can't some posters on this thread not realise that if you make, link to or support race-based arguments, then others are allowed to mention the word race in reply!

    I swear the thread is filled with overly sensitive princesses who want to say what they like but who recoil in horror when others bring them up on it :)

    My guess is because he's using a essentialist conception of race and extending from there most of his political beliefs on how immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and possibly others should be dealt with.

    It's not a personal attack or even necessarily an objectively negative thing but it is a description of what he has said regarding white Zimbabweans,

    A real liberal, in the classic sense, would be against the current globalisation of people and capital that we see today. Do you think this free movement of people and resources promotes equality, economic fairness, a stable environment for a person to live their life and grow into themselves? You must be joking.

    No.. they suit large transnational corps, corrupt governmental bureaucracies, and let's not forget the nefarious political ideologues which thrive in this environment. This world-view serves to divide people; it ascribes man a purely economic personality only - while nullifying his true character potential - which are his special family bonds, sex, culture, ethnic group, customs, history and his actual identity, the things that make him who he is, unique and valuable. True world-diversity is sidelined in this way.

    Instead we get an empty shell of a man, viewed for his monetary value only. Yes, a real liberal would be quite against this world-view!

    Instead what you call 'liberalism', 'social-democrat', 'socialism', 'diversity', 'multiculturalism', 'LGBT'... etc.. are just pseudo-moralities that the mafia who currently rules the Western world finds acceptable as they will never get in their way or provide a solution to the fact that they dominate most aspects of civil society, and ultimately do not exercise this power in our favour.

    Man finds hope, rectitude, strength when we has access and can express his identity, and the common collective identity that he shares with others around him. It's his culture - our Irish-European culture - a series of commonly held values and principles shared by a common people. The same is true for all distinct peoples. This is what makes the world beautiful, no apologies! Have confidence in your people!

    There I said it. Make-believe never was my thing. How a person might limit themselves by absorbing themselves in a leftist paradigm has always been beyond me, especially as it's so superficial and unintelligible when faced with real life practice. It must make one feel all warm and fuzzy inside.. because it's certainly intellectually void. As another poster said, so-called leftism is merely a self-esteem issue.

    So much faux outrage on this thread about racism. What makes Zimbabwe notable compared to the rest of Africa is that it was in pretty decent shape a while ago and has been ruined. In a world where we focus so much on economic development it's a pretty big deal that a country would actually go so far backwards purely through government policy.

    It's an inherently negative implication, designed to undermine an opposing, but very reasonable, argument by comparing it to Nazi ideals.

    As I and that other poster have pointed out the circumstances and precedent for this already exist.

    Nodin hasn't addressed any of the points I made beyond a "they only care because they're white".

    I believe you were the one who took issue with posters suggesting visas/citizenship be extended to displaced white farmers. You were insisting it was racist not to do the same for black farmers.

    Black farmers are not being displaced in Zimbabwe. They generally lack the cultural and nationality links that were the basis of that posters suggestion. They generally lack the skills and expertise that would be the basis for skilled worker visas.

    So although the circumstances didn't apply to black farmers at all, you're crying racist that they are not being considered.

    There's a race angle here alright, but since whites are the victims some people are having to perform mental gymnastics so they can be offended on behalf of black Zimbabweans
