Instead of training locals they hire foreigners. Instead of raising wages due to market forces they hire foreigners. Instead of letting house prices go down they get foreigners.

All the things that the average working class person cares about. Cheap housing, jobs, job training. Is pushed further and further away from them and instead what benefits the landowners and business owners is given to them.

The best bit is the left who used to push for work for locals has been taken on the ride and basically say if anyone is against immigration in anyway is racist and will not discuss it under any circumstance. The only people that listen to the working class is the far right. It’s literally the only answer that’s why people are going to them.

On top of that most people are not against immigration as such. No one minds people who have values of the country, who are educated and hard working.

But what do the stats say, literal government stats, that the people that come in are less educated than the locals, they take more from the country and they commit more crime. At least some of them, or from some countries. These are the people that the locals want to stop. But the left says its racist to even talk about this and will do nothing about it, for the right they benefit due to being land or business owners. So who is remaining? The far right.

The mistakes of the soviet empire really did ask get repaid in the 90s and that did such.

But for a lot of countries that was a great time that they finally got free from Russia.

I know there is a bit Internet belief that starship troopers is fascist but I’m not convinced.

Everyone is equal, free healthcare and education.They have an entry to vote so admittedly not everyone gets a vote. But absolutely anyone can choose to serve their government and by serving you automatically get a vote. Tbh I think there are arguments for that system. Once you get citizenship the system is completely democratic. They have propaganda but it is total war and which democracy hasn’t had propaganda during total war?

The book goes into it more and the book is a lot more serious and less campy. Verhoeven did try to twist it as much as possible which lost a lot but he still made a really entertaining movie.

Republic of Ireland?

For most of the west and a lot of countries in Asia. Things were good.

Remember the glory that was 90’s optimism.

30 years later I thought we would live in a better 90’s.

Instead we live in a really shit future that’s worse than even the 90s.
