Sins of the Western civilization through history.

Are they grave enough to justify the current trend of Western nations sacrificing themselves and their citizens (children from Rotherham, women from Cologne) to Muslims and other such immigrants? Is it justified that news don't want to report speficic instances of these sacrifices? And that progressives ignore them?

Please discuss according to /his/ rules, this isn't /pol/.

Businesses lobby for migrant worker programs more than immigration, if someone wants to get their foreign business partner citizenship or a visa that can be done very easily.

Mass immigration and turning a blind eye to the issues it generates is a political thing, you have successful immigrants, then you have ghettoization and a cycle of poverty among less successful immigrants, people don't want to look at the problems because they view it as conceding defeat or an attack on their middle class cosmopolitan lifestyle and in reaction they unilaterally push for more immigration.

Unfortunate living conditions don't mean they get to come here and rape children and women.

Or do they?

And since I need to spell it out for you, sacrifice is meant in metaphorical sense. Fearing they might be called racist, authorities did nothing to prevent what happened in Rotherdam. Hey, at least they weren't racist, right? You'd hate that, having racist authotities, right?

>Are they grave enough to justify the current trend of Western nations sacrificing themselves and their citizens (children from Rotherham, women from Cologne) to Muslims and other such immigrants?

Why do you view these specific incidents not as just simply crimes, but "crimes done by XYZ, therefore it is a problem" ?

There are clearly problems with immigration to the West, but for some reason I can't seem to shake the feeling that you have another agenda, than simply being suspicious of immigration.

Do you think the ethnicity and religion of white people would be paraded if there was a grooming and rape ring done by them? (Which there have been plenty of I might add)

In my view it all boils down to demographics that could be solved with increased native birth. If you rely on natives instead of immigrants you avoid the problem of integration/assimilation as well as whatever clashes there are. You also avoid the debate around "racism" like you have in America with African-Americans; the debate itself is a problem and distraction. Alternatively you could pray for robotics to fill the productivity gap.

> Western European Christian Civilization post-Charlemagne

Oh right, so we are only talking about a select group of countries that are Christian and located in Western Europe.

So countries that have been at war countless times since Charlemagne, do not follow the same religion, do not speak the same language, and have only recently adopted superficially similar economic and political systems are apparently of the same civilization, from which I assume we can then exclude all of Europe which doesn't belong to arbitrary Western geographical defition, as well as the rest of the world?

You can argue that there are has been an Arab civilization when these countries were united under an Arab ruler, speaking Arabic and following Sunni islam, whereas China is probably the only one I'll actually buy.

>>536569

> "Authorities" isn't a single organization. You might notice that by interacting with them in some way.

I have a job, unlike you bunch of basement dwelling /pol/lacks, so I know very well what the authorities are like.

Which makes me even less inclined to believe in any sort of conspiracy on their part.

Political corectness isn't a conspiracy. It's the reality we live in. And reports confirm political corectness was the reason why nothing was done to prevent the rapes from happening.

Where's the conspiracy?

right, I am aware that apparently misguided political correctness was behind the negligence on part of some people in this case.

But the last I checked, rape was still illegal, as was child abuse, and nobody, right or left, has ever proposed that we change the penalties for these abuses if the people conducting them were Muslim

I imagine it must be nice to think you can pidgeonhole each and every person you don't agree with politically as somehow believing that should be the case, but nope, ask left or right, rape and child abuse should still be illegal.

So again, who exactly is sacrifing their children?

Well obviously. Are you clinically retarded or something? What's your definition of "western civilization" if not the civilization originating in western european countries?

>So countries that have been at war countless times since Charlemagne
Wat? What has war got to do with anything?

>do not follow the same religion,
Wat? What western european country is not christian? I guess you're right if you're referring to Al-Andalus, and I indeed do not consider Al-Andalus to be part of western civilization. It was part of arab civilization.

>do not speak the same language,
What has that got to do with anything?

>and have only recently adopted superficially similar economic and political systems
What has that got to do with anything?

You seem to be a complete and utter moron. Just because France and England spoke different languages and had different kings doesn't invalidate the blatantly obvious fact (well, obvious to anyone with a brain, that is probably not you) that they belong to the same civilizational group.

>from which I assume we can then exclude all of Europe which doesn't belong to arbitrary Western geographical defition,
The distinction was never arbitrary. Europe was divided based on religious lines (catholic/protestant to the west, orthodox to the east) as well as political (balkans were under ottoman domination and were de facto excluded from western civilization)

I suggest you, like, read a book or something.


>as well as the rest of the world?
Yes you fucking idiot, as it turns out the Zulus are neither europeans nor christians! Hence they are not a western civilization! Do you understand know or is your brain struggling to grasp that basic concept?

>>
>>536615
No, I am saying that there exists no such thing as a Western civilization. Never has. It's just a term that was invented for political purposes, which has zero merit once it has been properly examined.

Your own definition even requires that you somehow lump together protestantism and catholicism, that alone should show you how broken a defition it is.

What similarities is it you somehow think these countries innately share?

Because as I've pointed out, there are major differences in religion, language and politics.

I mean you're basically denying a whole chapter of unified european history, when the papacy ruled europe.

>Your own definition even requires that you somehow lump together protestantism and catholicism,
Protestantism and catholicism are very related since protestantism is an outgrowth of catholicism.

>that alone should show you how broken a defition it is.
Actually it just shows your intellectual deficiencies and historical illiteracy.

Reminder that governments are amoral. The introduction of the refugees into a country was done because of economical growth. Of course what they didn't know is that only the 5% of the refugees are doctors/lawyers

The surrounding countries of Syria didn't accept A SINGLE refugee. They knew the problems they would create.
Whereas Germany didn't. Those people were following Sharia Law. The women on their own countries were clothed so that you couldn't even be able to see their ankles. Now that they've come to Europe. They view our women as sluts and treat them accordingly.

Spain, Greece and Portugal were fascist until the 70's. Europe wasn't widely democratic until after the Second world war. Nearly each and every single country in Europe has very different constitutions, some even have monarchies for fuck's sake.

No, no, no and no. Because those weren't linked to catholicism (orthodoxy a bit, but the schism came early).

Christians in China, are you fucking serious? Are you literally this moronic?

There are LITERALLY MILLIONS in Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. How fucking dense are you?

> they were Western European Civilization

Because you say so? Because I really don't see how that is the case.

> they weren't linked to catholicism

Of course they were, they made plenty of contributions to early Christendom. And you can't just wave off the link with orthodoxy based on your own arbitrary standards, fuck off.

> Millions of Muslims in Medieval Europe

Spain, the Balkans, Southern Italy...

> The Jews are a Europeanized foreign culture

What the fuck does that even mean.

> Oil painting

The earliest incident of oil painting was found in Afghanistan. It has been used all over the world. Besides, how the fuck does the fact that a few painters around the continent use that method somehow legitimate the whole place as a common civilization? That is beyond retarded.

> The printing press, classical music.

The printing press was not a Western invention. It is certainly true that it was used heavily in Germany, and from there spread rapidly across Europe and, spoiler alert, the rest of the world as well. Or am I to take it that only people in "the West" print books nowadays?

As for classical music, plenty of countries in "the West" have no remarkable classical music to speak of, and besides, it was a hobby and a taste that was only available to a very limited number of people in those places. Hardly enough to constitute a "civilization".

Didn't actually have Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon in mind. They did accept a huge portion of refugees. The post was about Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates

Oh, you mean the United Arab Emirates (200k refugees), Kuwait (120k refugees) or Bahrain (5k refugees)?
Not to mention the Gulf States don't surround Syria.

Yes, Israel is an ethnocentric state that rejects non-Jewish immigration and hopes to ethnically cleanse its arab population.

You have made no proof as to why Russia isn't part of the West, I am genuinely curious, why isn't it?

> Random namedropping of philosophers

What's your point? What is common and Western about them?

Socrate, Plato and Aristotle would certainly have felt more in common with people in Egypt or the Levant, than they would have with people in Denmark or Britain.

> Military tactics were common

Countries that fight each other adapt one another's military tactics, colour me surprised.

No, but your essentialist view of what nationality means is telling.

All the nice Buzzwords leftists always adhere to, it's so sweet.

You'd get along with the german 'left' (You people don't have ANY right to call yourself left) so well. Einzelfälle, Stimmenfang am Rechten Rand, Rechte Ressentiments, Rechts Gedankengut.
Aw, you'd love it, you little guy you. Now go wear that Che Guevara Shirt and scream ''Bomber Harris do it again, Germany never again, death to germany'' and you'll just fit in.

There are reasons the 'left' (Again, you scum are not left) are losing major ground in europe. And that is good and right.

>>536739

The Gulf don't give a fuck. I couldn't see a secularised Alawite wanting to go and live in Saudi Arabia and the last thing Saudi Arabia would want to do is take in Shi'ites, Christians, Druze or Alawites.

It's all posturing, all they care about is making sure the Sunnis come out on top in Syria
>>
>>536753
>You have made no proof as to why Russia isn't part of the West, I am genuinely curious, why isn't it?
Mainly because it is not germanic.

Western europe is the combination of roman heritage, christianity and germanic genes.

Russia is slavic and orthodox. It is another civilization.

So, what's your nationality and what's your ethnicity?

Do you think if a similar crisis was to occur in a Christian state like Cyprus they would've accepted the refugees?
FUCK NO.

They would be had their not forgotten their heritage after being conquered by muslim arabs. Egyptians and levantines are completely disconnected from their roman past.

On the contrary, scandinavia is heavily influenced by its roman heritage, despite never being part of the roman empire.

>Orthodoxy is Christianity
My bad meant catholicism.

>You can find Germanic genes everywhere, certainly also in Russia.
Russians are slavic, not germanic. "Germanic genes" was just a figure of style, and was not meant to be taken literally (I should have made myself more clear, once again I overestimated your intellectual capabilities). What I meant is that western europeans were of germanic ancestry.

Now then, will you please answer my question? What's your nationality and what's your ethnicity?

The thing that made me adopt these views is exactly that i moved into a big city in Germany with over 40% immigrants. And oh boy is it a charme. You adapt to your surroundings and what you see.
Do you live in America? It really seems like it.
I am confronted with the abomination of Multi-Culti every fucking day. Just as those Women in Bielefeld, Cologne, Berlin and Weil am Rhein. But it's just illegitimate fear, right?

Well whatever, your time is over, people over europe are waking up, and even though i don't even sympathize with these right wing parties in many ways, seeing that they'll put an end to your madness truly is bliss.
People will always react extreme to extreme situations, and infact, vote for extreme parties in extreme times. One time it's left, then it's right.
But it gives me joy to see all this scum grasping at straws, trying to hold up their faked reality of a working multicultural system.

Now you are talking shit. A big portion of germany is catholic, just like i am catholic. Ever heard of southern germany?

Isn't all that bad around here.

>Lol, just lol. Not a single fucking thing about Scandinavia is Roman,
Large swathes of its cultural heritage is roman.

>But Scandinavia isn't Catholic anon, neither is Britain, nor Germany, nor the Netherlands...
Sigh, I already talked about that. They were catholic for hundreds of years, and protestantism is intrinsically linked to catholicism.

>Again, you can find Germanic ancestry everywhere.
Wow you've convinced me. I guess australian aboriginals were germanics all along.

>>536792

>the numbers aren't too high though
Well, the UNCHR estimates there are 5 million Syrian refugees in the Middle East, half of them in Turkey. >100k refugees is a high number already. Most European countries take in much less refugees.

Also, it's funny to see xenophobes in the Arab countries using the same /pol/ rhetoric to claim their governments are ruining the country by taking in refugees:

http://m.gulfnews.com/news/gulf/bahrain/bahrain-denies-bid-to-naturalise-syrians-1.1080480
"Bahrain has rejected reports claiming it has been working behind the scenes to naturalise thousands of Syrians living in a refugee camp in Jordan."
"Opposition claims about mass naturalisation of foreigners by the state to alter the country’s demographics have been repeatedly rejected as baseless."
>>
>>536803
> Large swathes of its cultural heritage is roman
So first you accuse me of being Swedish and now, under the assumption of my Swedishness, you presume to tell me about my perceived culture?

Go on then, which part of Scandinavia's "cultural heritage" is Roman?

> they were catholic for hundreds of years

as were the Orthodox ones.

Are we just going to keep moving the goalpost until you have found a definition of Westernness that includes fuck all but which suits your needs?
>>
>>536055
>They let them in because of the economic growth it brings.

Isn't this basically because of the population growth? Why don't governments just encourage people to have more kids instead of only looking for a solution in immigrants? Less ethnic tensions, less crime, less cultural bullshit...
>>
>>536816
>as were the Orthodox ones.
No they weren't you fucking nigger

Russia for instance was NEVER catholic. They were converted by Greeks around the time of the great schism and as such have always been orthodox.

You know NOTHING about the subject. KILL YOURSELF.

But before killing yourself, tell me : what nationality and what ethnicity are you?

regardless, Orthodoxy stems from Catholicism

Besiddes, by your definition, America and Australia aren't Western either, since:

1. They do not have a state religion
2. The majority has always been protestant
>>
>Scandinavian Protestants have Roman heritage and thus are the heirs to Greco-Roman Western Civilization

/pol/ logic
Even Romania has more Roman heritage than Sweden.

>>536841
I don't understand this post.

>>536845
What's your ethnicity and nationality?
>>
How about dividing every culture into different aspects such as:
Religion
Religiosity
Government
Economy
Social institutions
Etc

And make different gradients of cultures. So rather than defining something as Western, you compare it as a distance from a certain core. Then you can draw "cultural circles" around "cultural centers" to make comparisons between countries and ethnic groups. So Tibet would be on the outskirts of a Chinese culture, just like Latin America and Russia would be on the outskirts of a Western culture and Malaysia would be on the outskirts of the Muslim culture?

That way you can stop pretending that Spain and Germany are the same culture, but you can explain why they are closer to eachother than to Syrians.
>>
>>536847
>have Roman heritage and thus are the heirs to Greco-Roman Western Civilization
I never said that.

Rus converted in 988, before the great schism.

You really are just a fucking troll.
>>
>>536802
Ofcourse you can read all nice up about these things in the media, but seeing how the media refused to report it until social pressure went up and media telling people interviews that they will cancel the interview if the people talk about refugees in any way, yes that's really fishy and sows distrust and fear. I fear for my future and that of my family, girlfriend, and so on. Is that illegitimate? As a native to defend myself against a obvious threat? I am not blaming the real syrian refugees, but the criminal arab and north african scum, as they are vaguely described by our media, and that reluctantly. If you haven't experienced these thing on your own body and to the people you love, you virtually have no right to talk like this about it.
>>
>>536858
The great schism didn't happen overnight you fucking nigger. It was a culmination of a gradual separation.

Now, what's your ethnicity and nationality?
