Shut up and cut immigration!

I have had with this.

We have major newspapers in Australia that will no longer mention the word immigration.

If a potential expert for an interview is prepared to use the word, they are also cancelled.

The mere use of the word “immigration” is now a thought crime. No slant, bias, opinion or reference is necessary. You are automatically racist, xenophobic and probably a Nazi.

This would be an intellectual circus if it were not such a disaster for the well-being of most Australians.

Immigration is not an unquestionable norm. In the past decade, it has mushroomed and morphed into the third lever of Australian macroeconomic management.

Thus, not mentioning it is like banning words such as interest rates, the RBA, fiscal policy or the Treasury.

It is baldfaced idiotic. And worse.

The reason why public discussion is cleansed of the word “immigration” is that it is a cash cow for elites but a living standards disaster for the majority.

That is, people flows have become ribald class abuse covered by a blanket of high moral ground gaslighting that humiliates the oppressed.

This is very traumatic. When individuals are subjected to such treatment, suicide is often the result.

The FACTS are apparent and straightforward. Immigration in its current form is:

  • shallowing Australian capital and gutting productivity;
  • crushing wage growth;
  • marginalising entire generations from housing and
  • annihilating the environment as cities bulge outwards.

It is the perfect storm of negatives for the economy, society and ecology.

Cutting immigration to the historical norm of around 100k annually fixes all of these problems. None of the problems can be fixed any other way.

If you think otherwise, you are either not paying attention or one of the corrupt.
