How do you explain Singapore? South Korea? Japan?
- the_real_cher 9mo agoThese are good questions. You have found three outliers out of 193 countries. It still really doesn't disprove the theory that 100% of white western civilization founded countries have people trying to immigrate to them whereas outside of a tiny handful the rest of the countries have zero immigration problems. All of these countries need to be studied for what behaviors and cultures create high trust first world style societies.

I don't blame that on immigration, but economic contraction. I can't tell if you're serious or just saber rattling. I know better than to engage with this type of stuff on Reddit, but I like to think people in the HN space are more methodical than this.
- gizajob 9mo agoImmigration is a small part of the issue for sure, but in the UK it was Thatcherism and the legacy of it which did in the high trust. Plus it was a country of half full of pirates and thieves anyway.
