People arent comparing to the peak of the 80s/90s though. They are comparing it to the last 5-10 years. Crime has been rising since 2020. (Very hard to get 24-25 data)

Even if I found that dataset convincing... it's not enough to excuse the approach of ICE or the pokemon vids.

That a bunch of Warriors fans that don't live in or visit the places get that invested in this particular topic while completely ignoring or excusing the ugly side is very odd.

Cool, happy to check the numbers you produce to support your claim.

It actually quite obviously is enough to excuse it, as this is the most cliche debate of all time. People blaming foreigners for national ills isn’t exactly a new phenomena.

If you want to avoid the rise of nationalism, then you have to promote it yourself, so you can control it.

How Denmark's left (not the far right) got tough on immigration

Denmark has come under international attention for its tough approach. And its Social Democrat prime minister is leading the charge

I’m in Trump-land at the moment, one observation, which is probably completely wrong for everywhere else, is there’s less Teslas cruising around these parts than a year ago, saw a bunch of those ugly as fuck cyber trucks last year & none this time round.

People use the citi bikes and cycle lanes to get everywhere...

and the robot delivery vehicles were a bit to get used to being from lil Ole NZ.

Please just be careful of those illegal immigrants franky and boston are so afraid of.

Fifth syndrome.

I don't see any of them complaining about the Afrikaaner influx into this country. (which is a good thing, I like the diversity they bring so long as they leave their apartheid history at the airport, in my experience most do).

Be nice if these people on here could look into their own heads and see where they are going wrong before typing migrants and foreigners from this xenophobic backwater banana republic far flung small Island grouping of the Pacific we call home.

Haven’t seen any delivery robot vehicles but surely they aren’t as good as the ones at Taupo’s Cobb n Co!

Yeah bit of an exaggeration LA is definitely not a cycle town.

But NYC and London on my recent trip had basically turned into mini Amsterdams with cycle lanes, Citi Bikes and Lime respectively.
I've been right around the whole country a few times...

West LA and East LA only places you'll find bike riders. Veryyyyy different kinds though . 😂

Seriously from SD, Cali right across to Tennessee may as well be a different country to LA/NY. (although upper east coast is one part i havent visited; Florida -Chitown-NY next trip)

Yes, we all know now by now you're the type of chap that thinks "the left" protesting innocent civilians being slaughtered is a big joke.
It's not a very flattering picture you paint.

Yes I have been to Israel - have you?

I don't think it's a joke at all. What I think is a joke is you trying to claim things like if you haven't been there your you can't have an opinion on it. Or your condescending assumptions on people - I can already tell you aren't well travelled.... doesn't sound pompous at all and certainly being well travelled doesn't appear to have helped you much judging by your posts.

I've been to Tokoroa.... I've seen..... things.....

And yes, I have visited Israel once. Haven't been to Gaza so couldn't possibly offer an opinion on that, but it appears neither should you.

For somebody that post so snide all the time you really are a cry baby of the highest order.

I didn't say people couldn't have an opinion, I said if they haven't been to those cities recently I'm dubious.

It's is a really weird phenomenon for people from down under to be so invested in other countries immigration settings while seemingly ignoring the unsavoury elements of it what's also happening with ICE or the unsavoury element of anti immigration rallies in Europe.

Yeah the difference even state to state can be pretty stark.

Only place I was ever threatened was a Target carpark in the mid west for talking funny...
