I just watched a bizarrely and blatantly racist video on YouTube that I got linked to after watching, yes, another bizarrely and blatantly racist video featuring the latest Neo Nazi of the United States, Richard Spencer. I was spoken to by a beautiful and admittedly good looking light skinned - very light skinned - blonde woman, for about 20 minutes, and preached to about all sorts of things, but mostly about why letting "hordes of non whites" into "white countries" is going to end up so disastrous , etc She began to mention how, centuries ago, every country rigidly and, of course, violently defended its borders from invaders. So why , she asked, aren't we allowed to do it now?
The keyword here of course is centuries ago and- had it been mentioned, which it should have been-- technology. If this girls argument had any real logic to it - or any real bread and butter besides just being a racist fluff piece void of any integrity or reality -- she would have mentioned technology and why technology is, in fact, the key culprit to blame when it comes to immigration and "hordes of none whites". The truth of the matter that these people can't seem to fathom is that the World is simply no longer as easy to seperate as it used to be...and unless we purposely destroy all the cars and airplanes and boats...it's never going to be as easy as that to separate again. In fact , assuming technology keeps advancing, all of this is probably just going to keep getting more and more chaotic , whether we like it or not. In a sense- and I realize to some people who are really rabid with all of this it might sound "insane"-- but in a certain manner of speaking, the entire modern immigration and refugee et cetera problem essentially goes hand in hand with what happened with music records, or even movies and books ...or even writings like this...and the Internet. Years wgo even a small piece of writing like this would have in fact been something you, as my reader, would of had to buy. Now it's available to you for free through this blog I get paid nothing for. Yet if I waltz around with my nose held high and try to claim you should owe me big money , or any at all, for this, you'll tell me I'm insane. And most people, as you can see, are also doing this exact same thing with YouTube and Spotify and a host of other online resources. Most people in fact, even those this very girl called "Commies", are participating DAILY in a form of communism right here on the Internet. But they don't see it --- mostly because they are enjoying it so much.
The fact is that, regardless of whether or not it continues into the future, the Internet has, in our own time right now, basically made all the songs you could ever want 90% free, in the exact same way that airplanes and cars et cetera have also made traveling from country to country far easier than it ever was before. The people that this woman was referencing who lived all those centuries ago...the only reason they felt so absurdly bound and obsessed with their countries of origin was because they couldn't escape them. These days this sort of intense binding is hardly the case. All of us now are thrown into a million different worlds the moment we want to be just using a screen and a mobile phone. This ease of access to the world combined with airplanes has obviously made it all the more desirous to travel the world. The problem in our own time of course -- because there is indeed a problem -- is that not everyone has caught up quite yet. We're in a state of serious imbalance. Three quarters of the world essentially hasn't caught up.
We thus have a situation where there are a lot of wealthy people who probably wish more of the world was open and safe for them to travel to -- but we also have all of these desperately poor people who are trying to leave those same areas to go to a wealthy country. As you can see here , the more people we can make it all better for ...the better it will, quite obviously, be for all of us. And unfortunately one thing that's apparently going to have to happen is that a lot of places that are really good right now are, it seems, going to start looking more and more "third world" for perhaps a rather extended period of time. And again: though that is ashame, the reality is that the only way to stop it is to cease creation of all airplanes and go backwards in time. Which we obviously can't do.
The truth is very simple: Borders are breaking down not because of immigrants, but because of TECHNOLOGY that incredibly wealthy and intelligent people created. There is no way to combat technology. To me, it all easentially seems to be "the will of the world", and my philosophy is that you're better off trying to enjoy it rather than fighting against the inevitable. In some sense, I think everyone on earth right now understands the comfort zone of having ones own culture and ones own "people", but at the same time as that it's obvious to see that this is passing away now ...because of airplanes ...and there's no sense going crazy and fighting it -- though of course I suspect people will anyways.
Oh well....
