I'm not saying we should have unlimited immigration or open borders. Countries can and do have immigration rules. My problem is with using nationality as a stand-in for a person's personal/individual character, beliefs, or ab

I'm not saying that non-citizens have identical political rights to citizens or that temporary residence can never end. What I'm saying is that persons legally present in a country should not be penalized as a group based on nati

I have not called you racist anywhere in our conversation. I've simply asserted that a policy may be discriminatory. I also don’t see how universal human rights leads to “nation-states should not exist". A state can have borders,

I think we may be talking past each other a bit here. I’m not saying countries are inherently unjust or that Sweden must have open borders. I’m saying there’s a difference between choosing future immigrants and changing the status of people

I believe in universal human rights and equality/fairness in application of laws. You seem like you don't and you're contorting yourself into a pretzel trying to justify discrimination and unethical behavior towards other hum

Legally in Sweden means they fall under the protections of Sweden's legal system and should be granted protections under the law, so it is a distinction without a difference. Your context changes nothing: it's just one long "

Of course I am talking about people legally in Sweden (if they weren't there legally, this wouldn't be a conversation). >> "In isolation that would be unjust discrimination." You could have just stopped there. It i

I know of no progressive that supports unlimited immigration with no screenings, that is a right wing talking point based on nothing factual. I do see a lot of people on the right, some conservatives, and some libertarians calling for blank

This gets back to the salient point of this whole post/thread/comments: do all persons residing in Sweden (as citizens) deserve negative rights as you understand them (namely the freedom to not be harassed/deported simply bec

It is arbitrary if you believe all humans should be afforded the same basic human rights and should not be judged simply by the country they come from (rather than the content of their hearts, minds, and character). Do you believe that if a

If the Pareto principle holds naturally, why are you pushing for laws/policies to gate keep access to opportunities and access to wealth to force inequalities? Why do we need to make policies that discriminate against some, while benef

If you're not claiming entire nations think and act the same way, then what you're describing (a blanket ban on entire nations of people because of some arbitrary numbers in a theoretical poll) is, without a doubt, discriminatory.

by willmarch 3mo ago
That's exactly my point. No group is a homogeneous whole, so why are you trying to blanket ban certain nations (which discriminates against individuals based on "polling" on topics). Shouldn't we determine this based on

It's a little befuddling that you are pretending there are countries where every person in that country share the exact same thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. Where is this mythical place? Are we determining an individual's potential,

Are you saying the population in Africa should not be provided healthcare? I fail to see your point here. If your argument is economic scarcity, then that can be solved eventually (and should be).

What state policies are you referring to? Laws/rights should apply equally to all people or else they are not really rights (are they?). No, Enlightenment principles come from the idea that rights and laws belong to all people (citizen

I said it was "discriminatory" (which it is), I never said "racist" (but that case could easily be made). How are you determining this group that holds these views? What criteria? Because I don't know any group that

I think judging any group of individuals as if they are all a single entity (be it through the lens of a particular majority view or a particular race) is discriminatory to the individual (hence discriminatory overall). In your example (wit
