Overtourism in Japan, and how it hurts small businesses

There is a disgusting degree of callousness with this comment.

It's not a "colonial nation" that is being harmed by migration, it's working class people. Meanwhile the same classes that benefited from colonialism now benifit from the wholesale destruction of communities.

Every empirical study I have seen shows that high migration lowers happiness and trust. Does that align with your pseudoscience?

Not as callous as pinning all social problems on migrants who mostly just want economic opportunity, and who generally commit crime at lower levels than the domestic population. Nor is it as callous as shrugging off the social and economic losses inflicted on those countries when they were colonized in the first place, or 'granting' them freedom without compensation for the looting, murder, and de facto enslavement.

working class people

I've got a feeling you're not a socialist, though.

pseudoscience

FUD
