More than once I have tried to explain why I NEVER donate clothes, shoes, or cash to those NGOs that distribute "aid" to poor third world nations. I go through how the aid actually makes things worse and hurts economic development:
i.e. Free rice sent to Haiti put local farms out of business. Free clothing put local small tailors and textile makers out of business.
My explanation was in direct conflict with their virtue signaling. My words were blocked out or shouted down.
Trying to explain how encouraging waves of boat people is also a bad idea will be just as fruitless. You can't reason with emotional thinkers. There is no way to win an argument based on emotion.
Exactly - this 'help' from the West destroys 3rd world countries' economies. Japan and China have massive restrictions in terms of imports. You cannot even import much food into Japan and that is why they still have their own super-expensive, but high quality rice and stuff. They even restrict exports, because otherwise the price for the local people would be affected.

Foolsgold - EE women have been responsible for over 10% of white babies in the UK, otherwise the percentage of non-White babies to White born in the UK would be 65-35 already. Now it is balanced due to Polish mothers, who get plenty of kids when there is financial security around. I don't deny that even that import of Poles to the UK is not very advantageous for the Brits who get some competition, but you have to realize that the second generation of them will have a strong allegiance to Britain and will look and talk like Brits. Also the average IQ of those slavs is 106.

Tigre - the European nobility has often become full-time globalists a long time ago. In fact any nobility which opposed the current dominant globalists were executed - the French died the same death as did the Romanofs. The Belgian, Scandinavian kings and queens were seen often enough at Bilderberg meetings to know that they are just like Fortune 500 CEOs - fully on board with the agenda. A recent example from the history was the British king Edward VIII who supposedly 'gave up the throne for love'. In reality he was opposing the globalist elite in private and wanted to act out on it - he was given the choice of either leaving for some trumped up reason or dying. He wisely chose to go and make it about some 'love affair'. (Kings as well as queens back then could have had dozens of love affairs with no one taking a glance at it - the press wasn't the same as now.)

Amity - yes the more radical ways of Islam are the worst, but even the 'moderate' ones are backwards, barbaric and way too restrictive. The Ottomans for example had a more or less 'moderate' view, but Ataturk correctly identified it as the leading force that kept the Ottoman empire from evolving.
It is Islam - read the Quran - and also some of the leading Hadiths. If your underlying religion is violent, backwards and bad, if your founder was warlord, slave-holder and conqueror, who left securities in place to NEVER EVER DOUBT OR CHANGE THE RELIGION, then you are in deep shit.

Many many Salafi ex-Muslims clearly state that they tried to reform, but realized that the religion is way too violent.
But we have had that discussion before. I know that you see many moderate Muslims who don't take the path seriously, but you have to realize that this was likely created from the 1940s to the 1970s by the globalists who pushed back Islam in all Muslim countries. In the 1970s seeing a woman in a Niqab was strange and Afghanistan and Iran were executing secular reforms. But obviously they changed course and decided a different approach - radicalization instead of secularization and slow pushing away of Islam. IF THE ELITE had continued the path from the 1940s to 70s, then yes - then Islam may not have been reformed, but the Muslim countries would be changed nonetheless since no one would go to mosque and they would ignore most rules set out by Imams. This can currently only be done when the full government, full social engineering, the entire academia, most media and entertainment - all pull along the same lines - in tandem with pulling Imams to their side similar what the globalists did with Christianity (council of churches and their influence over there). But this is not the path chosen and I can guarantee you that the moderates will become more radical as time goes by, more and more countries will shift with only one END-SOLUTION - TOTAL WAR OR AT LEAST TOTALITARIAN SURVEILLANCE STATE.
The few well-meaning Muslim reformers will fail. I foresee only a massive surge of Muslims leaving Islam before the final conflict takes place - many will join the secular side, become atheists, agnostics or Christians. The others will be drawn into the global conflict against their will as the more radical ones and the globalist powers pull them into it.
