I'm all in for the "just use `x = x if x is not None else def` objection. This is not a needed feature, it does nothing and introduces more implicit complexity instead of linearity, and is less readable. ?? Is also an alarming sign, which catches more attention than it should
I'm sorry, you think you're very rational. Immigration is not a gift. It is something that happens and so called States use force to counter that when they don't like it. It's also not a right to not have migrants, it is something you enforce with power police and military. If there are reasons for migrants to be statistically more violent then maybe it's not about their genes but about the system they are put in, the place they get in society, the mismatch with the culture they are coming from and most of all, the lack of active integration. So you don't "have" any rights to deport: you "enforce" deportation. You don't take a statistic done now and apply that as a theorem to justify your racist views. Everything must be understood with context in mind. I can really tell that 100% of people arrested for violence are more violent. Yet this must create no prejudice about the prison population. Turning statistics into prejudice is exactly what fascism is about. Closing the eyes in front of people in need for the needs of the privileged ones, with the violence and entitlement given by the power of government. 100% fascism.
You got the perfect metaphore.
To avoid rats, you don't kill them or set traps, you do trash collection, so you make a friendly environment for clean animals and not for those which bring plague.
You can do the same: have integration courses, make VISAs readily available for everyone no question asked, put language courses in place and make everyone in condition to have a job and contribute to society.
The United States is a country made of migrants.
Almost no one is a "native american" there.
Wasn't that the most powerful country in the world, up to 10 years ago?
So, "native Britons" is a sentence that makes no sense, and it's racist.
You know what, 90% of rapes are from people close to the victims. Parents, husbands. Get your facts straight. Immigrants bring tax money and workforce. The problem with integration is racist people who don't want them, and keep them without VISAs for years, not offering language courses, relegating them to the margins of society. In the United States, almost no one is native to the continent, nowadays.
After WW1 and WW2, Italians flocked to the USA like crazy. You know, the mafia and all the rest. Oh, and the USA has been the most powerful country on the face of Earth anyway, for decades.
He Is. If someone thinks that minorities are the problem of majorities and is ready to use its power and force to achieve it's goals, it's called fascism. Go read some Umberto Eco if you want to recognize what is what
This article just tells you there's someone in the IDF preoccupied of enemy lives. It doesn't tell you why the two populations are at war, why they did cut the food to civilians for years, does say "there will be errors" while not letting any journalist or the flotilla on the ground to independently check. While complaining that the filmmakers didn't ask their propaganda machine to preemptively check what's being said.
Ah, yeah, sorry, the problem is not about rats, it's the people letting them in. Oh, how racists can decoy. The people he supports are for remigration, which is another way to say deportation. And btw, wasn't he a migrant in the US he loves?
