Cell Membranes And Nation States: Has The West Gone Mad With Migration?

Monologues By Hasi

In todays episode I make an analogue between nation states and cell membranes* with respect to current state of migration in the western world. We are currently seeing a rise in racism and xenophobia with movements on the right gaining traction and the 'others' being singled out. Is there a valid reason behind this shift? I make the argument that it is indeed valid though often misdirected. I think that the energies of those engaged in highly xenophobic activities are misguided in targeting those who don't look and speak like them and should rather be directed towards to political classes who fuel these problems. Even though I anticipate that the changes in the west already taking place (both via the existing actions of politicians in opening the mass migration flood gates and the counter movements that will arise to combat this) will make life harder for me and those who look like myself I think that despite all its flaws the cultures, values and opportunities of the west are worth preserving. Here I make a firm stand for sustainable and selective migration to the west well below current levels. * I incorrectly switch to 'cell wall' a few times during this episode but really I mean cell membrane!Want to listen to more episodes?
