    For Ethiopia it's projected to level off by 2100 ... Malthus will have his say long before we get there though.

    What climate? Ignoring a couple of celebrities you're still far more likely to have your life ruined for a public far right statement than a far left one.

    Fossil water consumption, deforestation etc etc. The impact a doubling of population every 25 years can have on an environment is so far in excess to what the relative steady global warming can do it's almost laughable.

    But you are allowed to talk about global warming, you have to pretend population growth is irrelevant.

    Turning it into an argument about how parents should raise their children, rather than the essential tenets of freedom and the technological parallel of this new technology and ad blocking is kinda dangerous.

    That way lies communism, the greatest mass murdering ideology in the history of mankind.

    But VidAngel no longer redistributes anything, that's the whole point of using the existing streams instead of streaming anything from their own servers. It's a bunch of software with data which filters content retrieved by users themselves, just like add blocker software.

    So ready to fold? Go full retard, be consistent and also condemn add blocker software? Or just choose insanity and pretend there is some fundamental difference which doesn't exist?

    They are providing them with a living example of a nicer world, so when they do join the normal world they will realise that's not all the world can be.

    If you have to hand your kid a condom so he'd use it when necessary you've failed as a parent. Giving advice to remain abstinent and having provided enough knowledge of the world and the independence to put that knowledge into practice (ie. buy a condom) are not mutually exclusive.

    They might be united on some things like diversity, but they aren't completely united. They aren't all true believer progressives, there's a fair few AIPAC members in Hollywood as well. Who won't mind pushing a bit of glorification of the (diverse) US military. Gotta keep people enthusiastic about going to war in the Middle East after all.

    The adds are an integral part of the website as authored by their creators, just as much as any given scene. Whether it's product placement, or a sex scene ... it's as intended by the author.

    VidAngel don't modify the scenes, they just don't deliver them.

    You're bending over backwards and sticking your head up your ass simply because white Christians want this service. You are sacrificing your ability for rational thought for a hatred programmed into by propaganda.

    "country wide CCTV, that didn't help crime statistics at all"

    Fake news.

    BTW regardless of the size of the impact, one of the greatest benefits of CCTV is objectivity. When minorities commit more crime on camera you can simply show the images, avoids all the social justice systemic X lies and stupidity.

    US morality used to be a lot different and a lot more free than this.

  14. Reality has a systematic bias, while social "sciences" have a systematic bias towards being retarded.

    An unfortunate combination when they get to give evidence to judge you of thought crime.

  15. The numbers will show one thing, political correct "science" that they can only mean there is systemic discrimination. Google will be punished, because when it concerns political correctness it suddenly becomes perfectly correct to judge based on group identification and statistics. It's only bad when the evil x*ists do it.

  16. It's impossible to show when there is so much scientific bullshit around, they use statistical evidence and scientific consensus to declare you guilty of thought crime. There is no defence possible except to just give undeserving women bullshit jobs and raises till the statistics line up with what the scientific consensus hold they should be. Then soon you have to do it for every other protected class and then the economy and freedom dies, hello communism.

    Prohibitions against discrimination by private citizens were a mistake ... the road to hell and all that.

  17. We were talking about Turks and Moroccans at that point. Groups which prove how generous family reunification laws (protected by the EU human right courts at this point), foreign brides and high fertility can explode small numbers of foreigners from poor countries ... showing your comment about the number of refugees being negligible for the lie or the naivety it is.

    So lets get going shall we :

    Netherlands and Denmark are pretty unique in that official statistics keep track of immigration status, parent's immigration status and whether immigrants were western or not. You can't find statistics from other countries with data sources as good as them. The reality of multiculturalism is easier to hide with poor record keeping.

  18. Shouldn't that be /ss as in double sarcasm?

    Otherwise you unironically said Turks and Moroccans are vibrant communities which enrich an European society ... which is just fucking retarded. By any objective metric they make the country worse for being here, their community is a net tax consumer, they have far higher levels of crime than the native population etc. To deny this requires far more mental gymnastics than denying AGW. Which in the end is only ever a theory extrapolated from evidence, while the crime and the negative economic contribution of these communities are simply evidenced.

    The truth isn't PC, Islamic immigrants on average would be better to not have in an European nation. The US is a little different, because of it's more mercenary welfare system, more restrictive immigration (less influx of older dependents) and since it has a smaller percentage of Muslims (ie. they don't have as much democratic/economic influence) it has attracted a better or at least less obviously negative group of Muslims for the moment.

    Just a bit overrepresented in terrorism, as usual. Those kids at the concert certainly got more vibrancy in their clothing.

    If you are an American and have a decent number of USD in the bank you can almost certainly pay your taxes and avoid bankruptcy or worse at the hands of the state.

    Whether bitcoin or gold will have an exchange rate sufficient to do the same is much less reliable.

  20. Multiculturalism is a means to the cause of globalism, destroy national unity and it's easier to sway the divided masses to accept a more globalist governance.

  21. My country ended the period of guest labourers with ~22k Moroccans and ~65k Turks. In 40 years that became around 400k each through family reunification, foreign brides and high fertility. From " not be a noticeable amount of people" to nearly 10% of the population in 40 years ...

  22. But then there's the problem, who do you call a Nazi to justify who you advocate use of violence against? How far are you willing to push that line in the bus? Communists have the habit of pushing that line quite far as well ...

  23. If you want a nation with inhabitants and corporations which internalize morality and respect their nation's laws, then you don't want globalism.

    Globalism and multiculturalism create mercenary corporations, all the law can do is create a maze for them to optimize their a-moral profit chasing behaviour around ... which doesn't necessarily mean obeying the law.

  24. They are almost certainly doing this because they think it limits their moderation costs and liabilities.

    They also have no responsibility to fight anyone else's battles.
