There might ( might , see later) be a set of values, but there definitely isn't anyone or anything that, given dictatorial powers, can be trusted in applying such values forever fairly without abusing or misusing their power. I'm

Ok, less wrong every day; we have some rationalists here, whether you think yourself as rational or not let's get an idea of how rational you actually are: do you agree with the views of @tenobrus mentioned below ( https://xc

whatever you're referring to, "nebulous refugee loopholes" are a legal way to reside in a country, to be clear.

If you say so. I'm sure you're impartial about the matter.

It's not the bias the problem, it's the conviction of being better and "less wrong" than the rest of us. That, along with constantly calling yourself rational and being well-intentioned, easily leads to cultish beliefs t

Oh, so Muslims by definition can't integrate with our own values, that's so much better...

If saying that everyone who wasn't born in a place would be forced to leave it doesn't seem ethno-nationalist to you, I don't know what to tell you.

Why the monospace? I used to think that people in tech would have the brain to react in a sensible way, anyhow. And I don't see how you could think that someone " by definition, can't integrate with our own values " with

The quote without context is absolutely ethno-nationalistic (but I've been told that there's a context).

It's a complex issue, but in short, I think that some of the concerns about immigration are often legitimate. Progressive people, being more keen on altruism, tend to think that the good reasons immigrants have to migrate should oversh

by g-b-r 3mo ago
Alright, it was hard to make sense of your comment, anyhow the only way to have no connection to Sweden (besides the birth itself) despite being born there would be to have left it as an infant.

by g-b-r 3mo ago
I don't know very much about Sweden's issues, but if you say that the legal system is not equipped to deal with them, maybe that's what should be fixed? Do search for the causes and strive to solve them, I doubt that the only

Not having birthright citizenship doesn't mean that you can't acquire citizenship.

It could be a response, but the point I was making was that while saying "criminals should be expelled" might sound reasonable to many, defining what exactly you mean with criminal is extremely important. If the party comes to pow

by g-b-r 3mo ago
Ok, do fix the Wikipedia article. But, born here? Or not born here? Anyhow, "criminals" is a way too vague concept for expelling someone from a country, especially when your party could come to power and criminalize anything you w
