- hdgvhicv 4mo agoDepopulating rural Alaska, or America in general, is certainly a campaign strategy.
- murderfs 4mo agoI mean, so's "Bumfuck, Alaska needs a handful of teachers, therefore we're going to import infinite Indians"
- fc417fc802 4mo agoWho said anything about infinite? I don't see anything wrong with importing labor if it's of net benefit to our society. If there was genuinely no citizen that wanted the job for any reasonable price then what's the harm in bringing in an educated outsider who contributes positively? It improves several metrics simultaneously without harming anyone.
- spwa4 4mo agoYou could also say that India is below replacement fertility. Which, if Indian history is anything to go by, will mean India will outlaw emigration to protect ultra-rich Indians. China has already mostly made emigration illegal. The rest of the world will follow.
- triceratops 4mo ago> China has already mostly made emigration illegal Genuinely news to me. Do you have any sources?
- spwa4 4mo agoDepends what you mean. Communism loves bureaucracy and so there are 10 different system "totally not cooperating" to prevent leaving. In China you need permission to leave the country (or even your town), and so there is no law change. The big bureaucracies are referred to as "Hokou" (within China) and "Exit-entry administration" for international. So no direct announcement, everything is under direct control of Xi. You see, it was always illegal to go outside of the country without Xi's approval and those approvals have mostly stopped coming. But here's one source: https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/02/18/china-right-leave-country-further-restricted https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/02/18/china-right-leave-countr...
- triceratops 4mo agoYeah sorry no that's not the same thing as "made emigration illegal". When you say that I think of Soviet Russia with its exit visas that people hardly ever got.
- spwa4 4mo agoIt kind of is. You try to leave, the police stops you. You go to court, the court decides against you. What's not "lawful" about that (aside from the very unjust nature of China's laws)
- triceratops 4mo agoFor it to be true there would have to be evidence that it's default disallowed. Or that most people can't get passports at all, no matter what.
- spwa4 4mo agoNo country locks of passports 100%. And, look, you asked for a source, the hrw article provides a source.

- ahoka 4mo agoDo you really suggest to copy Ceaușescu and start evacuating villages in rural Alaska?
- fc417fc802 4mo agoI wonder if he realizes that we historically went to great lengths to get people to move there.
- throwaway85825 4mo agoAfter the subsidies stopped everyone moved out of Siberia.
