i don’t particularly like immigration for 2 reasons
-
it’s a band aid fix for our low fertility rate
-
you take away doctors and engineers from the original country, especially some of the poorest
July 2025, they knew the stakes were high. Across the continent, hospitals are losing nurses to overseas recruiters, clinics are short-staffed, and young medical graduates face the dilemma of staying to serve or leaving in search of better pay.
This isn’t just policy—it’s personal.
From Praia to Port Louis, governments and health professionals are sounding the alarm: Africa is losing too many of its trained health workers to international migration. And while global demand for medical personnel has soared in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, African countries are bearing the cost.

Even countries like india with billions of people will be held back as hard working and high achieving people leave for western countries and hard working builders and labourers are going to middle eastern countries to build stadiums

I know a bunch of Muslims and they’re some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I think there are good and bad people in every religion, and you can’t paint them all with the same brush.

Yeah, sorry, that was badly phrased.
I hate the muslim religion. Most religions really. I know a lot of nice muslims, and people from many religions. It doesn’t make them bad people, but religion is an evil thing which allows humans to be their most evil. And the most evil people will use it.
It’s using religion as an excuse that israel was founded and managed to murder so many people and commit so much evil. So many millions of people were murdered as well using christianity as a tool, and also islam, and the list goes on.
But there are billions of people supporting religion, so it’s hard to criticize it without looking bad. I am offending billions of people by equating their religion to evil.
It’s like stealing for me. You’re not necessarily bad because you steal. That doesn’t necessarily define who you are, but it is something bad and you should be criticized for that. And if you make stealing the whole of your personality, like people do with religions, it’s going to be hard to not criticize you as a person.
Anyway, I shouldn’t post. I always make my opinion sound horrible.

There are lots of examples of mass murder without religion. Many communist regimes that were anti religion but killed millions. The matter of religion seems orthogonal.

I’m not sure about the examples you mention but either a maaassive excuse for evil (not just killing, stealing, invading, etc) would be gone.
They would have to try a lot harder with “protect the children” and “terrorism” as their excuses.
Or come up with new ones. Like they did with communism for example. Which is clearly still strong with some people as I can see but not enough anymore.
