Immigration

Immigration Doesn’t Really Hurt Wages

  • https://www.nber.org/papers/w12497.pdf

    • National Bureau of Economic Research paper on the effects immigration has on wages in the United States
    • Study contends previous analyses on the relationship between immigration and wages falsely assumed perfect labor substitutability between immigrants and native workers of similar education levels, distorting results
    • Research shows average American wage RISES due to immigration, both short-term and long-term
    • Only native demographic whose wages drop are High School dropouts who suffer a decrease in wages of approximately ~2% short-term, alleviating to ~1.1% over time.
    • Study finds new immigration does severely impact wages of prior immigrants, suggesting lack of substitutability with *natives.
    • Overall, vast majority of American workers’ wages increase from immigration, High School dropouts (<10% of population) experience a slight decrease which alleviates with time (and there is evidence that immigration may increase native High School graduation rates, too).

  • https://sci-hub.do/10.1016/j.labeco.2014.05.002

    • Similar research to the above paper, except conducted on the French labor market.
    • Findings are near-identical; immigration leads to across-the-board wage increases for all except a small minority of low-education native workers.
    • Reaffirms conclusion that there is low substitutability between native workers and immigrant workers.

  • http://davidcard.berkeley.edu/papers/mariel-impact.pdf

    • Famous research on the Mariel Boatlift and the impact of a wave of Cuban immigrants (mostly low-skilled) on the economy of Miami.
    • Research found essentially no impact on native wages, even for low-skilled workers, despite the Mariel Boatlift increasing Miami’s labor force by seven percent.
    • Even former Cuban immigrants didn’t seem to be affected.

Immigration Is Just Good in General

  • The Effects of Immigration on the United States’ Economy — Penn Wharton Budget Model
    • Extensive summary on the effects immigration has on the US economy, with sources
    • “While some policymakers have blamed immigration for slowing U.S. wage growth since the 1970s, most academic research finds little long run effect on Americans’ wages”.
    • “The available evidence suggests that immigration leads to more innovation, a better educated workforce, greater occupational specialization, better matching of skills with jobs, and higher overall economic productivity”.
    • “Immigration also has a net positive effect on combined federal, state, and local budgets”.
    • “Economists generally agree that the effects of immigration on the U.S. economy are broadly positive”.

Diversity Doesn’t Hurt Social Cohesion

White supremacists will often argue racial diversity leads to less social cohesion than racial homogeneity. The data disagrees. Credit to Mouthy Infidel (Mouthy Infidel - YouTube) for this research.

  • https://sci-hub.do/10.1146/annurev-soc-071913-043309

    • Enormous meta-analysis of 90 cross-sectional studies analyzing relationship between diversity & social cohesion.
    • Vast majority of studies on the subject fail to prove the relationship between two variables.
    • In fact, study finds positive relationship between inter-ethnic contact & trust in ethnically heterogeneous communities.
    • Only contrary data shows small-scale (intra-neighborhood) trust suffers with ethnic heterogeneity in some circumstances, and even then only in America.
    • Plurality of data does not support - and largely contradicts - assertion that diversity hurts social cohesion.

  • https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/laibson/files/measuring_trust.pdf

    • Study which tested around 200 students in a trust based experiment and compared results from diverse groups and homogenous groups .

  • Finds no statistically significant negative relationship between diversity and social cohesion.

  • APA PsycNet

    • Study examining a range of experiments meant to gauge the relationship between diversity and social cohesion.

  • Study finds all of the experiments found a positive relationship between diversity and social cohesion.

  • Proposed mechanism is that diversity causes people to identify more broadly with humanity, increasing sociability.

  • http://www.fisherwilliamson.com/downloads/MPSA040508.FINAL2.pdf

    • Longitudinal study comparing the change in social cohesion over time in an area which experienced a large increase in diversity with a comparative control which didn’t.

  • The two areas did not differ significantly in how their levels of social cohesion changed over time, suggesting the increased level of diversity had no statistically significant impact on social cohesion.

  • https://sci-hub.do/10.1093/sf/soz030

    • Another longitudinal study analyzing changes in trust in 22 European countries between the years 2002 and 2010.
    • Study suggests immigration often leads to decrease in social trust, but results were heavily affected by ethnic polarization & economic stability.
    • With low polarization and a good economy, immigration was shown to actually increase social trust.
    • Results suggest it isn’t the diversity of immigrants which lessens trust, but rather the economic and political context in which they arrive.

Holocaust Denial

There is an enormous body of historical research concerning the Holocaust, none of which holocaust deniers care to engage with. They are conspiracists, regurgitating already-debunked talking points which “question the official narrative” but do not engage with existing research. This is because, no matter how tenacious they are in their ignorance, their talking points are very easy to disprove. Here are a few rebuttals to those talking points, though not all unsubstantiated denier claims warranted an academic paper in response.

The Liberal Sanity Project, who helped with this document, has a good video on this: Holocaust Denial And The Alt Right - YouTube

“The estimated number of Jewish deaths in the Holocaust is wildly overinflated.”

  • This extensive and well-sourced post explains how modern historians arrived at their estimation of Jewish Holocaust deaths (5.4 - 6.2 million).
  • There is lively academic debate within that range (Nazis kept poor records so we will never have a completely accurate answer) but no serious historian believes in any figure which deviates significantly from that range.
  • A passage from Denying History - Historians are the ones who should be described as revisionists. To receive a Ph.D. and become a professional historian, one must write an original work with research based on primary documents and new sources, reexamining or reinterpreting some historical event—in other words, revising knowledge about that event only. This is not to say, however, that revision is done for revision’s sake; it is done when new evidence or new interpretations call for a revision.

Historians have revised and continue to revise what we know about the Holocaust. But their revision entails refinement of detailed knowledge about events, rarely complete denial of the events themselves, and certainly not denial of the cumulation of events known as the Holocaust.

Holocaust deniers claim that there is a force field of dogma around the Holocaust—set up and run by the Jews themselves—shielding it from any change. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whether or not the public is aware of the academic debates that take place in any field of study, Holocaust scholars discuss and argue over any number of points as research continues. Deniers do know this.

“Zyklon B is just a delousing agent, it can’t kill people! It was used to clean clothes! Also, even if it was lethal, why do some “gas chambers” lack the blue stain Zyklon B leaves on walls?”

  • First of all, Zyklon B can absolutely be used to kill. Just Wikipedia it.
  • Secondly, Zyklon B must be used in higher concentrations to kill lice than it need be to kill humans. It’s more economical to use less gas, so the blue gas residue wouldn’t form as easily in gas chambers.
  • Third, Zyklon B residue can be easily cleaned from walls, and Nazis made every effort to destroy evidence of the Holocaust as Soviet soldiers marched in.
  • Fourth, even this stupid image acknowledges there are traces of (again, easily-cleanable) Zyklon B in the gas chamber.

“The Auschwitz memorial plaque death figure suddenly CHANGED from 4 million dead to 1.5 million dead. What are they hiding?”

  • The 4 million figure was initially published by the Soviet State Commission in 1945, long before any reliable estimates were available.
  • As new information is made available, historians revise general knowledge of the subject. This is how the field of history works.

“The “gas chamber” doors were made from WOOD. They clearly weren’t meant to contain people.”

  • The wooden doors presented in these images led to delousing rooms, not gas chambers. These are literally just pictures of wooden doors. It is not known what the original gas chamber doors looked like because Nazis destroyed those facilities before Soviet soldiers arrived.
  • This door, however, was found in the building yard of Auschwitz and is believed to be the kind used in their gas chambers.
  • The doors may have been destroyed, but the receipts for those doors were not. This receipt calls for an order “on 6/3/1943 concerning the delivery of a gas tight door 100 x 192 cm for cellar I of Krematorium III, to be produced to the identical pattern and dimensions as the cellar door of Krematorium II which is situated opposite, with peephole of double 8 mm glass, with rubber sealing strip and frame.”

“The camp crematoriums could not have handled that many bodies! It takes 4-8 hours to cremate a body.”

  • It takes 1-5 hours to cremate a civilian body at a professional service. It takes far less time to cremate a body in an industrial furnace when speed takes priority over cleanliness and decency.
  • Also, Holocaust victims were not cremated one at a time. Toph and Sons (the makers of the Auschwitz crematoriums) claimed their units could handle 4-6 bodies an hour.
  • The bodies were ". . . sorted according to their combustibility: for the bodies of the well-nourished were to help burn the emaciated. Under the direction of the Kapos, the bearers began sorting the dead into four stacks. The largest consisted mainly of strong men, the next in size of women, then came children, and lastly a stack of dead Mussulmans, emaciated and nothing but skin and bones. This technique was called 'express work,' a designation thought up by the KommandofĂźhrers and originating from experiments carried out in crematorium 5 in the autumn of 1943. The purpose of these experiments was to find a way of saving coke. . . . Thus the bodies of two Mussulmans were cremated together with those of two children or the bodies of two well-nourished men together with that of an emaciated woman, each load consisting of three, or sometimes, four bodies." Filip MĂźller, Sonderkommando - Filip MĂźller
  • When crematoriums failed, they used burning pits.

“The Red Cross visited a “death camp” and found that it wasn’t inhumane!”

  • The Red Cross inspectors were not allowed to visit the parts of the camp intended for genocide and the had Nazis prepared their camp for scrutiny, deporting the near-dead and sanitizing the presented facilities.
  • "I repeatedly witnessed guided tours of civilians and also of commissions of the Red Cross and other parties within the camp, and I was able to ascertain that the camp leadership arranged it masterfully to conduct these guided tours in such a way that the people being guided around did not see a*hing about inhuman treatment. The main camp was shown only and in this main camp there were so-called show blocks, particularly block 13, that were especially prepared for such guided tours and that were equipped like a normal soldier's barracks with beds that had sheets on them, and well-functioning washrooms." - SS-UntersturmfĂźhrer Hans MĂźnch
  • Additionally, that letter tallying camp deaths is attributable to the International Tracing Service, not the Red Cross. They tally estimates, not records, and are not historically relevant.

“The prisoners at Auschwitz had a swimming pool! And a band! And a brothel! And a goddamn soccer team! And a dentist! Some prison, huh?”

  • All these amenities were present at Auschwitz I - the main camp, which held POWs, not Holocaust victims. The infamous extermination camp was Auschwitz-Birkenau. Also, the band and “pool” were for the guards exclusively. The “pool’s” main purpose was actually that of a backup water reservoir.
  • Even if these amenities were present at Auschwitz-Birkenau, it wouldn’t disprove anything concerning the Holocaust.

Japan mono ethnic and high IQ great social cohesion

USA, Canada, Germany, UK, Diverse a bunch of problems

Singapore, very diverse, super authoritarian, and peaceful. Diverse places need an authoritarian hammer to keep the peace. Thats why its bubbling up in the west.

Japan's got plenty of societal issues, low quality of life from work is #1

Singapores Authoritarianism has only been good for growing their value in the past decades, not as peaceful as you think or good policy lead otherwise. Frankly it's just the best of the options in that area for a lot of business and that's just because they have a good tech scene and it's got better long term prospects than HK stability and price wise
