I have left my country because of this.
- dani__german 2y agoAnd yet, if enough people escape that culture and all come to the same location, say London, that culture manifests again. Organizing our society to celebrate and support immigrant cultures makes it completely impossible to avoid the culture that ruined the last country from coming to a new country. How can this be avoided? We have not avoided this in the last 25 years in any new, large immigrant populations. Does any liberal palatable idea exist for keeping such a culture out?
- ZeroTalent 2y agoThere is no societal solution for this right now, as far as I understand. I'm only saying that places like these exist—smaller, walkable, pleasant, safe cities designed for families and communities. These are just a few that I have found in my life. And, keeping it real, it's reserved for people with money—if there would be good jobs there, too many people would come, and the large population problems would emerge. It is sad. Writing this reminds me of the short story by Ursula K. Le Guin—The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.
