Well I guess the main reason is that in a very brief time period, a very large group of people has been introduced to your country from another culture that has very different standards and values for gender equality and social hierarchy. So people become anxious and afraid. No one is sending out "anti-rape patrols" against locals because they know that the police and courts will deal with them. However, experience so far has shown that the politicians and the justice system is unwilling to deal with the problem with the same determination when it comes to immigrants or refugees lest they are labelled "racist". People don't trust their leaders because they have demonstrated that being perceived as "not racist" is more important to them than fighting a substantial societal problem.


I'm not really sure what this is, some sort of satire or sarcasm? Listen, no one is debating that multi-culturalism and diversity are beneficial, but they are not agreeing how the neo-progressive left defines those terms. Importing a permanent underclass of undereducated, religiously indoctrinated people from poorer parts of the world (many of whom don't share our basic values such as freedom of speech) and then failing to integrate them is not multi-culturalism. I remember reading about a certain country, it might have been Sweden, where they looked at where all the politicians and third sector workers who preach multi-culturalism actually live... most of them were in all-white, gated communities. That is the height of hypocrisy. They ruin the social cohesion of a country, force the working classes to deal with the problem and then label them "racist" when they speak their mind and point out the problems.

what? no i am right there with you dude. :hfive: I didn't know about the sweden thing, but it makes sense! as for me? well, I used to only trust politicians who lived in gated communities and such because there is 100% no possible way another person from a different culture could live there, but nowadays, I don't trust a politician unless they live in a cardboard box in a dark alleyway, like that president from Chile or argentina or something. A politicianfrom the streets, who knows whats real, thats what would get my vote. Not these hypocrite politicians that seem to lie about everything. And yeah, the undereducated are the biggest problems. These dumb dumbds need to go to school!!! It is time for schoool!!! they need an education in order to find out that beheadings (which happen EVERYWEHERE in the Midlde East) and stuff are not OK in Finland :finland: seriously. I cant stress enough how much of a negative influence dumb people have in politics. But it is even the dumber people who vote these politicians in that worry me. some of these dumb people may not even understand basic concepts of morals. Then the same dumb people attach to an ideology's banner, their principles, defending their dumb ignorant beliefs by saying they are not ignorant people, that to the other ideology's side, everything is ignorant, etc., while they make it seemingly okjay to people to be dumb ignorant people. Fuckers! :argh:

Depends which country you are speaking about. In case of Finland, yes. In case of Sweden, hell no. Sweden actually stopped registering the ethnic background of sexual predators about 10 years ago because "men of foreign origin" were substantial part of the total number of criminals and it started to clash heavily with the official narrative.

Off the top of my head... thousands of young teen girls have been raped over a very long period in various cities in the UK by handful of Pakistani men. This was known for years and nothing was done, because the people who are responsible for the safety and well-being of their citizens didn't want to appear "racist". I think it's a pretty good example of the absolutely mental PC culture that puts misguided ideology before everything else, even safety of the people.

You can find examples like this all over Europe.

It's not a problem. The problem is that Halla-aho poisoned the debate with generalizations, us vs them vocabulary and overarching narratives about Muslim hordes forcing Finnish women wearing sacks or something.

Let me give you an example: If you are against mass immigration on the level of "I think we should limit immigration because our system can't cope with it", then that's fine. Perfectly debatable. But, if it's more like "I think we should limit immigration because all muslims rape and leech the welfare state dry", then there is nothing to debate besides your rampant paranoia. Bonus minus points if you think it's because of green-leftie suvakkis corrupting agenda and consider MV-lehti as a trustworthy news source.

As for immigration, Finland has had for a long time one of the tightest immigration checks in the EU. In a normal situation they'd come here, ask for asylum and you'd have the bureau checking things out. The problem is that we're still in a middle of a European crisis, with unprecedented people moving along Europe in masses not seen since WW2. And they're not asking us if we want them. We had it tough at the beginning, but we're apparently getting there that it becomes manageable.

Well, that certainly was my experience. But let's not be silly here: Halla-aho is hardly a man who did it all by himself. However the whole "immigration critical" circle heavily revolved around him and his blog, so it can pretty safely be said that he was one of the main ideologues of that movement.
