This video is an analysis on migration to Australia by an ex cop involved in anti terrorism. It dives into the pros and cons of migration to Australia and what immigrants really offer.
This isn’t a right wing froth video, nor is it a rejection of migration, and the cop is a decent human despite your view on cops.
Yeah, I’m not clicking that.
So, what’s your assumption?
I got a sneaking suspicion it’s wrong.
It’s a clickbait title that sounds like it’s going to be listing a bunch of reasons why it’s actually ok to be a little bit racist sometimes…
When I went researching the guy to find out more, I discovered that he’s an ex cop/counter terrorist who started a podcast so he can finally speak “unshackled by his position”.
Which cemented my initial assumptions…
It’s a terrible title, for exactly the reason you state and I also looked him up before I watched it and made a similar assumption. But he is very even handed in his analysis and doesn’t push racist or right wing talking points (he has a minor rant against racism in social media and makes fun of Trump and Hanson throughout). I think he’s pretty successful in presenting data and facts with a minimum of ideology.
I wonder whether he intentionally chose that title to trick right wingers into watching it and be exposed to some actual facts.
Yes, I should have prefaced it a bit better. But yeah he’s one of the few out there that actually knows the subject.
This is a pretty even handed discussion that tries to do what it claims, look at the facts and figures with a minimum of ideology. The TLDR is that there’s a massive amount of benefits to the immigration that Australia brings in and cutting it back would require a lot of planning and investment to compensate for what’s lost.
OP, if you’re going to post a video like this ffs write a description. I assume the downvotes are from people who didn’t watch it but assumed its some racist bullshit (which I also suspected it was going to be but decided to check so that I could continue to procrastinate about getting back to work).
Yeah, you’re right I probably should have prefaced this, but my expectations of people here are (perhaps mistakenly) higher than elsewhere.
A video is a bit of an investment, let people know what they are getting into if you can using brackets [ ] to add to the video title.
It might also help if the title didn’t frame itself as a neo-Nazi talking point.
Mentioning the ex-cop part in the description is probably not helping your cause :P
Yeah you bloody had to didn’t you hahaha
Fuck it it stays, he was a fucking good cop, rare as they are
Yeah he seems pretty reasonable.
He’s one of the few around who actually understands the subject.
I mean, there are plenty of people who understand the subject. It’s just that reasonable takes on it that focus on the facts don’t get amplified by media algorithms.
I haven’t found too many that have his understanding of it, particularly from the perspective of Muslim migration
Fabulous share thanks…!
Not yay not nay, just that this is a complicated issue and simple solutions don’t address it
So anyone out of the downvoters here actually watched this or know who Carrick Ryan is?
The bloke who made this video is an ex agent from the NSW task force involved in apprehending terrorists.
This is not a right wing froth video. It’s a rational discussion about it by someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.
Thanks for sharing this. It seems quite balanced and the useful.
