No coincidence. It's Russia using thousands of social media accounts and various dubious websites in all countries to put the topic of immigration at the center, because anti-immigration has always been the most popular platform for far-right parties to run on. And sadly it's true that immigrants are quickly accepted as the scapegoat for everything that is going wrong in any given country, so all other political parties have not much choice but to talk about immigration as well. Far-right parties happen to be pro-Russia because they admire how Putin could get rid of democracy. This makes them the ideal partners for Russia's efforts to destabilize western democracies. Russia knows that the weakness of democracies is the knowledge or rather the lack thereof of its citizens. It's also Russia's only realistic chance to win the war in Ukraine, by convincing the population of the USA and the EU that Russia's victory is inevitable. What goes hand in hand with this are attempts to discredit Ukraine, portraying the government there as corrupt and thus as pocketing the aid money for themselves; so the story goes that much-needed money in EU countries gets gifted away to the leeches in Ukraine. |
If that is the case Russia needs to fucking fall and change their mentality. No one is out to get them and if they just entered into 2024 like the rest of the 1st world, then they would be far more ahead then they are today and no need for conspiracy theories.
Even in Australia far away in the southern hemisphere, anti-immigration is starting to pop its head out n the last 6 months more so then before.
I agree to a degree that immigration is a problem, BUT no one stops to ask why. It doesn't matter if you are far right or far left, this issue has never been addressed with the question why is it a problem.
As a immigrant into Australia myself, I can see why there is issues but Governments do not care and are quick to blame each other and the immigrants themselves they allowed in, rather than owning up for not doing a good job of immigrating people over the last 20-30 years.
The biggest problems here and probably other countries:
1) Government let them in bulk lots from one country, but don't provide enough support for them to integrate into the country's culture and be part of the broader community. Instead they have no choice but to congregate together and create their own mini home they come from (i.e. an isolated island maintain all their problems from their country they ran away from). When I moved here, my community was small so had to integrate into the main Australian community to survive and get work. Instead they should limit intake from each country and spread it across many countries so they can't congregate. Allow each group time to find a place in their new home they call Aus.
2) They also bring in an increased number ever year but are 1-2milliiion houses short to accommodate them, that will only create problems. In recent times I am seeing more families with young children living on the streets not just drug addicts.
3) They have a half baked skills visa scheme, and the people that come here on that visa aren't even close to the standard that our education system provides (and we not even that high ranked in the world). When my parents come here, their education wasn't even recognised and basically couldn't get work, and they were far more skilled then what we get today. They had to essentially work any crappy job that would hire them. We have allowed so many labourers into the country, but non of them follow our building codes, and then Governments wonder why inspectors are findings so many defects. They looked for a quick solution to the housing crisis but, he defects are causing far more delays then the pace they want all these houses built.
Governments essentially like to bury their head in the sand and pass the problem onto future governments, as long as they get their golden retirement super fund they are happy.
This is also no different then what they did 50 years ago here, build specific suburbs for poor people far outside the main cities, s that the problem wouldn't be at their door. Now we got a generational unemployment issue become they know nothing better. Now the growth of he country means those outer suburbs are no longer so outer and people complain they live next to the unemployed. The better solution would have been t spread them out around successful people as that rubs off and they would have tried harder in life.
