Interesting take The word socialism means two different things to Republicans and Democrats and I’d suggest that although there are definitely rusted on commies leveraging everything for their own philosophical and political benefit, the average person in America (and in Australia) would share the nuance implied in this opinion piece.
It’s a bit like the Australian/One Nation discussion over immigration. Everyone understands that immigration is a net benefit over time. However it’s not about that.
With Australia not reproducing itself, it a conversation about volume, religious baggage and beliefs and overall quality and the ability and desire to adapt to and adopt Australian traditions, values and mores.
It’s a conversation about Australia’s ability to absorb socially, culturally and economically.
It’s about the enclaves developing in the big cities. It’s about the sustainability of immigration square pegs with their own agenda fitting in culturally AND its about a Labor Party leveraging and weaponising immigration for its own political benefit.
The one thing you notice in these far distant and remote places in the NT and WA is that basic services in Caravan Parks and Woolies stacking shelves for example wouldn’t be delivered without immigration.
Quality is the key that picks the lock.
