>introduce neoliberal policies which transform the country from a place where a single bread winner can support a wife and 3 kids on minimum wage into a country where two people working can barely support a child
>clearly more of the same policies are the answer
liberals have been co opted so hard that john oliver can literally advocate for policies that make everyone worse off to a thunderous applaud of people patting themselves on the back for not being racist

wtf are you talking about m8? we're talking about people afraid of the eleatic school's idea of mathematical infinity and the reductibility of all argument to nothing. it's a real problem.

anywhere I can read about neoliberalism?
>>7723213
neoliberalism is a made up word that only 1st year political economy students use seriously
Reganism/Thatcherism or finance capitalism are much better terms
>>7723224
Okay, any good books on Reganism/Thatcherism or finance capitalism?
Everytime you see someone in the MSM making a moral argument ask yourself.
"What is that individual personally doing in support of their emotional rhetoric?"
So, in the case of say, Al Gore and Laurie David ask yourself:
>Who tends to own private jets and multiple houses all over the world? Champagne socialists in California who won't shut up about climate change? Or impoverished rednecks in Tennessee who, due to a lack of education, deny it's even a problem?
In this specific case John Oliver is a British born American citizen. Just think about that: He could be living with the migrants he wants to desperately for the Europeans to accept, in fact it would have been more convenient for him to do so, but instead he chooses to live in a notoriously nationalistic country where the populace takes due process of immigrants relatively seriously.
>>7723228

>>7723245
>who won't shut up about climate change
Why not? Scientists warned us about this shit since the 80's. Now that the shit finally hit the fans, what are people expected to do? Just go about their day like nothing is happening?
>>7723081
>falling for the descriptivism meme
>>7723245
>in fact it would have been more convenient for him to do so,
Why?
So just because he moved to a different country for his career his opinions should be discarded? You must be a monolingual American
>>7722967
I don't watch this dingdong, so can someone explain the context because it seems like he's saying if europe doesn't open up to more migrants, they deserve plausible attacks that extremists will inflict on them.
>>7724222
low birthrates of native Europeans = shrinking population
he's under some bizarre delusion that population must constantly increase, or something, I don't know.
>>7724222
The original context was that Europe's white population is aging fast without have many kids, so they need to ship in millions of brown people to fix all their problems.
>>7724202
It's literally not happening and could be caused by any number of things.
Also if it is happening it isn't because co2, it's because of ordinary vapor as it is the most greenhouses in the bunch. So anyway if it is a thing it has nothing or little to do with le cars polute drive electric eat vegan type of shit.
>>7724226
Yes, especially because he's probably an abortion advocate.
>>7722967
>>7724226
I see it more as an illuminating look into the progressive dogmatic mindset.
Isn't it just fascinating how people just uncritically accept this guy's assertions as fact?
>"you're afraid of a massive demographic shift? How silly, if you don't accept these people, who by the way have incompatible values and attitudes to that of Western society, your population will decrease!"
>"population decrease?"
>"Yep."
>"Why is population shrinkage a bad thing?"
>"Don't be a bigot."
Fuck bro those liberals are pretty spooky bro.
imagine how great Europe would be without certain people begging and trying to sell you trinkets and pickpocket you
>kill ability for young to start a family. >we need to import people XD, oh but they need financial assistance XD
>>7724223
>>7724225
I don't get why the Europeans don't institute some Lebensborn type thing - basically pay white women to have kids and then get other people to raise them if they're unwilling. I know childbirth itself is probably pretty awful but bribing women into doing it is probably cheaper then the billions upon billions of euros it's going to cost to feed/house/clothe all the migrants.
I just don't see how replacing declining Europeans with Africans and Middle Easterners solves anything. The population of Europeans will still decline and "Europe" will barely deserve the name. It's bad enough as it is now.
>>7724472
or we could just stop obsessing over population growth
there are going to be 4 billion people in Africa by 2100 and it's going to be a fucking disaster
>>7724499
The Chinese will probably take care of that.

better dead than black. seriously this "muh current year" is really looking down on responsible breeding? also what is the point of a country if you give it away to strangers unrelated to you on any level
>>7724472
Finland has something like that. Or is it Sweden? In any case, you get a carepackage when you have a child. Besides, the officials of Europe aren't 'importing' migrants so that they can slow down the population decrease. That's asinine. The percentage of people who will be foreign-born living in the EU will be about 10-15% over the next couple years. People are literally just moving to where the richer people are, like they always have, for centuries.
>>7724587
>what is the point of a country
desu yes. fuck nationalism
>>7724202
>Just go about their day like nothing is happening?
yes, since only real fix is a substantial technological advancement. seriously most of the economy rides on those Chinese factories
>>7724472
because we are not an infestation. there is limited land and we use it responsibly by having occasional population shrinkage when it becomes clear that the economy is too bad for our kids to have a good life.

>>7724220
??? I am not.
Something that's been lost in the shuffle (potentially on purpose if you ascribe to a more conspiratorial worldview) is that the biggest proponents of mass immigration into Europe are large corporations. The multitude of uneducated, non-native, young men are the perfect glorified slave labor base. You can drive up the Euro countries' populations artificially through mass migration, and then justify paying less money for more work overall on the basis of having too many people. The wealthiest classes stand to gain the most from this, and the average citizen's status will weaken. Income inequality will increase. The cultural clash that will subsequently occur is just icing on the cake, because the natives and migrants will be too busy fighting amongst themselves to politically think of anything else.
It's also worthy to note that the entrenched corporate elite has started using left wing social politics as a Trojan Horse to achieve their goals, where they traditionally used the right wing. Those who question the thought process behind the acceptance of so many migrants can be labeled racists, further leading the population into an identity politics struggle, which by design is an inescapable spiral trap.

So, Europe is on route to become Brazil 2.0?
>>7724696
more like Europe is en route to looking like a Hieronymus Bosch painting
>>7724650
This hasn't been lost in the shuffle at all. See zizek, Trump, or fuck, if you listen hard enough, even Bernie Sanders. Why do you think these niggers are getting traction? It's almost enough to restore my faith in democracy... The mob works in mysterious ways but it just might work.

It's weird listening to all the immigration bashing on Sanders right now when it's essential to his income equality platform. Just because he has an understanding of capital and scarcity and Democrats largely don't their villifying him for prioritizing the struggling working class.
I hear very often that democracy fails because people vote for their own self interest, but I think everyone would be a lot better off if that was indeed the case.

Scientific illiterate detected
Can you explain what in the fuck "ordinary vapor" is?
Would you care to elaborate on the differences between the dynamics of earth's atmosphere and the dynamics of venus' atmosphere without mentioning the enormous amount of co2 in that of venus?
I will never understand why people like you are convinced they know more about the climate by reading a clickbait article on the internet than people who devote their lives to studying it.

yeah i don't get why they're giving it to kids. usually we keep all the nice shit for adults with cash. i blame ginsberg.
>>7723031
underrated post
>>7724228
That ordinary vapor is CO2 and various toxins released through the burning of fossil fuels and production of plastics and aerosols. There is an enormous body of evidence pointing to the correlation between the two, and furthermore, there is also heavy evidence of adverse effects on the environment and human health from sudden climate change.
Seriously, you sound like a fucking retard. Might as well argue for creationism too.
Holy fuck does that make me mad, if it's real.
The demographics of birthrate contraction relative to economic prosperity and liberalism are 101 shit. Literally every undergrad in every field in academia knows it, and 95% of them tout it as one of the great arguments for women's lib: the happiness and freedom of women in a given country is directly, almost perfectly correlated with decline in overpopulation and squalor.
The same people harping on those arguments nonstop are the ones turning around and pretending they don't know why the European birthrate is declining, and saying immigrants are the solution.
Literally the same plutocrats who tried to convince you that geometric immigrant increase is "good for the economy." Whatever side of the spectrum you're on, unless you're a billionaire banker, Oliver is a shill.
>>7724228
>hurr durr water vapor is a more potent greenhouse gas than co2 b/c of amount and heat retention
>that must mean co2 is negligible
you can't be this dumb
even if the increasing co2 has less impact than other gasses, if they are static and it isn't....there is an impact. And it only takes a few degrees of graduation to completely fuck most biomes, especially the ocean.
>>7726475
I'm sorry, maybe I'm just stupid or it's because it's late and I'm tired, but what exactly are you saying? Can you rephrase?
>>7723093
i dont get this
>>7723180
what question?
>>7724228
Water vapor is a better greenhouse gas...
It also has a lifespan of 1 hour to 4 days in the atmosphere.
CO2 has one of hundreds of years.
>>7725944
>the amphetamine jew
shit was literally invented by hitler, bro.
>>7724228
Its more Coal factories and petroleum plants, but the heating we've been experience in hundreds of times faster than what happened during the last great Thermal maximum (the PETM), and is nit only impossible without human emisions, but our earth should be cooling towards a new ice age in hundreds of years.
