How Immigration Changes Britain
11th November 2018
Almost nothing is discussed as badly in America or Europe as the subject of immigration. And one reason is that it remains almost impossible to have any sensible or rational public discussion of its consequences. Or rather it is eminently possible to have a discussion about the upsides (“diversity,” talent, etc.) but almost impossible to have any rational discussion about its downsides.
That’s because Immigration => Diversity, and Diversity is a good unmixed with any possible bad.
This attitude arises from the proglodyte view of Change. Progress is Good and since Change leads to Progress then Change must be Good as well. Conservatives know that Change doesn’t necessarily lead to Progress and so Change is just as likely to be Bad as Good. A proglodyte will push every button on the control panel in the sure and certain knowledge that the result will be an improvement. A conservative knows that doing so is more than likely going to break something. This is why a society with proglodytes in charge sooner or later degenerates into a dystopia like Zimbabwe or Venezuela or the Soviet Union.
