> but perhaps it's time we on the left said loudly "We hear you, and we understand."

Yes! A friend of mine was expressing exactly this sentiment to me the other day. One good result of this election is that it's made me aware of the sense of unhappiness and despair that a large portion of the country has; a portion of the country that I never think about or really ever sympathize with. These people have real grievances with the system that didn't help them, but those grievances are being overshadowed by their overtly racist and xenophobic solutions.

Everyone should take this away from this election: lots of people are unhappy for legitimate reasons and we need real solutions to help them, or the racist solutions will have a strong appeal.
Kankei is used rather literally in Japanese for "connection", without the heavy overloading of the Chinese term:

"The build is broken, did your push break it?" "Uun, kankei nai" = no, it's unrelated.

Which is not to say that Japan doesn't have its own complex web of social obligations and favors (giri, osewa, senpai/kohai etc), they just don't use the same word for it.
I would say, only if you would also call an ordinary friendship or example of nepotism in Western culture 'tribalism'.

At the risk of sounding overly cynical, while it's great that Mr. Soros is donating this money to a worthy cause, I wonder if, as long as he's feeling charitable, he might also be willing to stop domiciling his investment vehicles in jurisdictions known for supporting tax evasion/avoidance. Perhaps with the increased tax revenue, governments could afford to better shoulder the costs of adequately integrating migrants and refugees without the assistance of billionaires.

High school student here; completely new to me! To be honest I'd never thought about the highway number system before
One problem people seem to skip over is that the current state of immigration is broken. Regardless of the number of immigrants you think should be allowed in, none of those should be illegal. The presence of illegal immigrants hurts everyone, especially those who have no legal status. They are removed from normal legal protections, this needs to be fixed. You can not have a large part of the population in such an exploitable position. Some people who agree with what Trump is say are swayed by this side of the argument and it's valid.
In the past, people had work.... But after automation, most people will have nothing to offer any more.

The same arguments were used at the advent of the industrial revolution. There will still be work after robotics, just not the same work.

I feel like there will still be a stigma attached. The people who are paying more in to UBI than they receive back will (rightly?) feel like they are propping up those who are not working and therefore paying less / nothing. I would not personally 'look forward' to receiving a UBI check if I know that my taxes have increased by more than the value of the UBI.
That article does some serious gymnastics. "It's almost as if Europe's refugee crisis was planned and prepared" follows from Soros's foundation seeing it as an opportunity to change immigration policies?
It's going to get much worse, especially in Africa, which is predicted to grow by 3 billion people until 2100. Asia will top out in 2050 at a little over the present population level. Europe, USA and Latin America leveled out.

There are going to be 3 billions of people born in Africa, wanting to emigrate to Europe or USA. It's not going to work out, and it will get desperate unless Africa becomes a place where they want to live.
Yes, the experience is much better. Sadly the NDK APIs are still the same.

It's not incompetence per se. They're buying time, either to get their tech chops together or just to prove they won't be ordered around. "It'll crash our computers" is enough to delay the next step, let's say at least six months before they have to provide anything.

Knowing what a lot of us know about "computers," they can get this together in (being nice) a week, leaving 5 3/4 months to compose their PR strategy dealing with the fallout.
Ah, the illusions. Many Russians lives in poverty and the state doesn't do anything for them, but the latter fuels their ideal of being a Great World Power. So they keep voting for those who fleece their country in exchange of some illusory identity.

"instead of trusting normal social contract and normal civil relationship between strangers". What's "normal" to you? Western way of life?

"unlawful activities": because there's no such thing in the West? It is actually the opposite: Chinese people are less prone to do criminal activities, so much that I'd let my 10 yo daughter walk at night almost anywhere in China, while even a male adult wouldn't walk unaccompanied in many places in the West. I do not say that it is because of some special essence of Chinese people, to me it is simply because of a better education.
Soros is directly responsible for massive increases in rape in Germany and Sweden, as well as encouraging terrorism in the west with his compulsive promotion of immigration of unsuitable people.

It's noticeable that he does not promote Syrian immigration to Israel, which is next door and has taken in zero refugees, and instead uses all of his resources to force Western countries to accept thousands of young unaccompanied men with violent backgrounds.

Well if saying anything you like as long as it is meant to provoke [a response] is acceptable, then let's have a few articles about why antisemitism is cool and how black people have low IQs. Or are those subjects that have been covered and people have been both prosecuted over and been fired from their jobs for?

Being provocative at least requires starting with an argument that can be defended.
The reason unintended side effects happen is because they can't be articulated beforehand.

Antisemitism in Sweden is almost exclusively found among the Muslim immigrants.

Politically the left is a bit blindsided in the Israelic-Palestinian conflict, but that is another issue, as is the strongly secular society's discomfort with all deeply religious groups, including (very) orthodox Jews.

You're on the right track. But it has to start with realizing that there are practical, rational reasons for opposing unfettered immigration. That it's not always a fear and an insecurity, which someone needs to be "educated" out of. That it could be a well-considered position arrived at by an intelligent adult equal to yourself. As soon as you treat people as your equal (ironic ain't it) you might have a shot with them.
Thanks for doing this. I mean, copying the article.
Reading that left me impressed with how thorough of a job Soros is doing to try to make the world a better place.

As far as I can tell the article tries to make the point that the Soros foundation is trying to manipulate global policy.

Which ... Yes. That's what these organizations do, and it's been essential to the process of developing good policy, over the last hundred years... There is absolutely nothing embarrassing about that memo. If I had written it I would be proud to see it leaked.

The leading assumption of this book review (and many articles like it) is that it's hypocritical for poor people to both accept government assistance and be in favor of reducing it in general.

It's not true that Trump's base is composed of communities who have "significant problems with immigration;" in fact Trump does worse in these areas. Contact with immigrants makes people less likely to support Trump. [1]

I agree that the left does no good by labeling Trump supporters as racists. This at best shuts down dialogue, and at worst falsely accuses well-meaning citizens.

But that doesn't mean the left must buy into a false narrative about Trump as a reaction to immigration or economic anxieties. Any such anxieties are a rationalization of Trump's support, not its driver. Efforts by the left to address these "anxieties" won't move the polls at all.

GoPro HERO5 and Karma: The Launch
The nation-state is founded on the ideal of a sovereign state for a specific ethno-cultural group, and immigration fundamentally contradicts this. However, that is not a reason to oppose immigration. Mass immigration in sufficient volume will ultimately destroy the national culture. However, that culture has no inherent existence rights, not should the world be so arranged to preserve national cultures.

Consider, too, that a wealthy democracy could simply refuse to help a poor neighboring nation, and let them all starve to death. That would be unjust, even though it would be perfectly democratic. This indicates that there is a fundamental problem with democracy; democracy is wrong. The flaw is not hard to find: the people most affected by the democratic decision are not those who get to make the decision. The basic problem of democracy is how the demos is defined.

It is very probable that many people have xenophobic and racist instincts. Racism may be biologically ingrained. Probably 10-20% of people would like all immigrants deported. They will never be happy as long as they are not living in an ethnically 'pure' state. That is a good reason for not allowing those views any political representation. We should exclude immigration from being a legitimate democratic issue, because democratic votes on migration always turn into racist populism. Just like we shouldn't put minority rights to a vote, neither should immigration be put to a vote.

Yes, immigration disrupts the way people live, but so does (for example) industrialization. The interests of the indigenous population and immigrants do conflict. But there is still no ethical reason to stop people moving to improve their lives, to limit immigration, or to confer migration veto rights on their present of former inhabitants.

> I guess people from ex-communist countries understand this phenomenon better

I'm always amused when people project a Western-centric viewpoint when talking about China. This has very little to do with Communism and everything to do with China's own history and cultural development.

Chinese culture has always placed a strong emphasis on interpersonal relationships because institutions besides the state have always been relatively weak, and the agents of the state formed a close-knit, elite class that interacted with one another personally.

For over two thousand years, the state bureaucracy has been the strongest institution in China at the local levels. Even during the Nationalist period and in pre-modern times, you'd better believe the average person would a good relationship with their local official if they wanted to get anything done effectively.

Controlling nepotism and corruption within the bureaucracy has been a perennial concern during every single dynasty of China, going all the way to the Qin dynasty in 200 B.C.

Also, you definitely need good interpersonal networks to do business effectively in Singapore, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, despite the fact that none of those polities have experienced direct Communist rule.
This makes sense. Going to the DMV makes me strongly want to privatize the entire operation.
You're talking ignorantly right now.

First, the two examples of racism you point out are decades old. Try to pay attention to current events.

We share a long, fairly badly secured land border with a country with significantly worse living and earning conditions than we enjoy. The fact that all those people trying to come to a better life share an ethnicity is not relevant at all.

If you want to see racism, see how British people treat Polish immigrants, even though the Poles have every right in the world to be there.
You're right, I should have said investing rather than donating, but seeing as there seems to be a moral consideration on his part, I hope the rest of my post is still appropriate.
Actually there are identifiable factors at play in what we're labeling 'racism' (and maybe it is for a lot of these people who knows) that could have nothing to do with racism.

For instance, it's not at all weird to feel like immunity for illegal immigrants would be unfair given that there is an immigration backlog for even highly skilled foreign workers. When there are millions of people in Africa and Asia who are both more qualified and more in need than the average illegal immigrant from Mexico, it's tantamount to arguing that geographic proximity should imply preferential treatment.

Chances are the legal (voting) Hispanic demographic has reached a sizable enough proportion of the electorate that Dems have decided they're worth annexing with some platform concessions. Slap on a veneer of compassion and all of a sudden it's a part of the progressive agenda. That they got away with it so cleanly and we're no longer questioning the logic of these policies is a demonstration of one way in which the liberal left can be bamboozled as easily as the Tea Partiers.

How do you know? You are just making an assertion. It is not a law of nature.

If you will forgive some hyperbole: After the industrial revolution, you no longer needed peoples' hands, just their brains. Now we will no longer need peoples' brains.

Automation is a process that proceeds step by step, not a repeating pattern.

Hopefully there is still something left that means there will still be a need for a large number of humans. But I think it is arrogant to just assert that. For every part of what humans can deliver that you replace there is less left where humans are needed.

Trump doesn't have a problem with immigration. He has a problem with illegal immigration, which is why he said - over a year ago - that there would be "a big, beautiful door in that wall so that people can come into this country legally." There's a big difference, and to make it sound like he has a blanket objection to immigrants is just plain false.

This is key. The reality is irrelevant. What matters is how the culture chooses to interpret it. Social attitudes are not particularly rational.
Start with defining your market and seeing if they need/want/can use your product. As an example, I am doing some work on my house and occasionally I need day laborers to help out. I thought it would be nice to have an Uber for Home Depot guys with profiles and reviews. It turns out most of them don't have smartphones and data plans so it wouldn't work. Better to know that upfront than to find out after shipping an app.
