The older I get and the more horrible s**t I read about, the more I'm convinced that the Nazi party was concocted and something thrown at the German people using American money and guns, rather than a genuinely organic movement originating in Germany.

You always need useful idiots like Hitler, but Germany was almost ready to go full blown communist...

Lots of dead socialists in WW1 and WW2, more than any other group of people by far.

At one of my primary schools, over 90% of kids had at least one parent born overseas, multiculturalism wasn't a choice, it was a way of life.

I have a good friend who works in a primary school where over half the kids were born overseas. It's also as you'd imagine not a particularly great socio economic area.

Huge challenge for those involved, and a far cry from the leafy Western suburbs primary schools where the (white) parents of the (white) kids think discuss multiculturalism ideology over soy lattes.

 

[Pie eyed]

The agenda the left has to force multiculturalism on everyone so that they can consider criticisms against difficult cultures (That are not white, christian etc) as hateful speech, therefore turning the country into a police/nanny state that they desire...No surprise since they themselves are against free speech.

And yes, Islam is not compatible with western society.

I think you are simply s**t scared the culture you want enforced on everyone else will not happen.
Basically you want to live in the past of the racist white christian zealots you call your forefathers.
Bet you have a nude shot of Abbott in your lounge room.

Being British in a country like Australia is not considered "multicultural" by many, for the purposes of this argument otherwise 90% of all Australians would be the result of multiculturalism.
The only people who can legitimately argue against , multiculturalism are the aborigines.
Unless Tripwire is a kouri he/she should slink away like a beaten dog.

I will never get used to the idea that Western suburbs schools in other areas of australia aren't very multicultural. it just an odd turn of phrase to me.

Schools in poor areas have been struggling for decades in Victoria (Kennett).

Multiculturalism had nothing to do with it. Some of the worst performing schools in Victoria are mostly Anglo.

Didn't suggest otherwise.

My point is that it isn't the nice schools with small class sizes and well behaved middle class kiddies that get lumped with kids fresh off the boat, it's the poor sods already dealing with 30+ little shits while their weatherboard demountibles collapse around them.

It's not that multiculturalism makes schools bad, it's that it's another problem that ideologues leave for others to deal with at the coal face (racist pun not intended but amusing). I don't see too many people sipping soy lattes in trendy inner city suburbs advocating migrant kids going to Claremont Primary for example.

They're here because the Anglo's made their home countries unlivable.

Yes Bermuda is an unliveable hellhole

Paddy Shafter is a muppet for thinking otherwise.

Even Lil Leyton is jumping on the bandwagon

Yeah agree then.

As much as I'm a fan of multiculturalism in Melbourne, I'm kind of sick of Dandenong, Ringwood, Frankston (not so much anymore), Hallam, Glenroy and Coburg taking the vast bulk of new arrivals (even though I understand this happens because those suburban hubs are the ones with the infrastructure to handle them i.e. Centrelink, Hospitals, Public Transport etc).

I'm all for investing in a bit of similar public infrastructure in Toorak and Kew.

It isn't for any other reason than to expose some of the decision makers in Melbourne to the reality of life in the outer suburbs. It will do them some good and give them some perspective to live among some poor people for once.

It doesn't make sense to locate migrants into Claremont if they don't have the money to match. They won't be able to afford the rent etc. If they can, then great, bring them on. If we're talking about asylum seekers then unfortunately there's not a whole lot of choices.

Actually the left push multiculturalism because the right used monoculturalism as an excuse to execute millions of trade unionists.

Nice to see a Marxist interpretation. The Bolsheviks did the exact same thing.

Liberals push multiculturalism for purposes of assimilation and appropriation. What could not be won through colonialism, war and oppression can be given willingly.

Yeah. Liberals used the Communists as cannon fodder and then turned on them. See Malayan Emergency for the most condensed of all such conflicts.

Western civilization is on the decline.

Feminism/SJW are attempting to deconstruct western civilization in order to further their utopian goal of a society where straight, white men, especially those who're Christian, aren't in charge, for such ones make up the feminist/SJW's imagined Patriarchy.

"Enlightenment" is nondescript, subjective and thus worthless.

Feminism is a part of western civilization... In fact if you want cultural imperialism there is no better vehicle than women's rights.

If you look at India you can see a cultural rift within the country, one espousing to particular conservative Hindu values and the other liberalized idea about gender and sexuality. Globalization is a two way street in which competing ideas are played against each other, and the west exports culture more than we imports it.

Actually the Bolsheviks liberated people on a number of fronts and were fundamentally more democratic than any other nation at the time.

What do you mean by Liberals? As in ALP type soft right politics? Or hard right like the LNP?

How so?

Feminsism kicked off in France sure, but it didn't get huge until the Bolshi's ran with it. The Anglos' were literally two centuries behind the French and one century behind the Russians.

The Nazi's were fearmongering about feminism and cultural marxism too. Turned out to be bullshit and just a fear campaign against egalitarianism and the class system the rich rely on.

Hey The Coup You might be able to fill me in. I didn't checked the board for a few days and I come back and bushie and scon got banned. What happened?

 

[fleabitten]

We've always been a multicultural country. The indigenous people who were here when the British arrived weren't all of one culture. Then you add the English, Irish, Scots, Welsh...the Chinese have been here for well over a century...Germans and Dutch for ages, too. So we either embrace it and enjoy the benefits or we pretend all those other groups don't/didn't exist and this "Aussie" culture just sprang up out of nothing.

Why are there no choices?

Because rich people?
