Is the planet special or is it a bait headline?

There only are so many resources for them. Here in many European countries the main issue (I think) is that with the current numbers we fail to teach them all our language (it's simply not possible without having more language teachers available, and apart from needing those teachers that also needs more money). Without knowing the language their professional development is massively hindered, causing many to remain lower class, and causing disproportionately high crime rates among certain groups.

This leads to further problems: In the big cities there already are schools where people who speak the local language are a minority (for example in a primary school near me they have two classes for each grade (1-4) for children who can't speak German yet and one class for all grades together for German speaking children).

So guess what people do: They go to a district with less immigrants, while the districts with many immigrants keep getting more immigrants (since cost of living is low there and as pointed out earlier many struggle to leave lower class). We're re-creating segregation. This makes it even harder for those people to leave lower class, since they have no networking opportunities but only know others from lower class instead.

Even the left wing parties are now saying that we have to reduce immigration and instead integrate immigrants better.

Often the answers are pretty good. But you never know if you got a good answer or a bad answer.

I suppose in the USA it's also usual for the lower ranked person to salute first, then the higher ranked salutes back, higher ranked puts hand down again and then the lower ranked puts the hand down?

So by saluting to a North Korean general the highest man of the US-american army says he's ranked lower than some North Korean general.

So is the conclusion from that that LGBTQ people would rather vote for Trump (directly, or indirectly by voting for some small candidate or not voting)? I don't get why this would be a reason for them to not support the democrats

  1. Not involved in politics, simply supports the same party as her husband without questioning it

Just as the republicans want how women should vote?

But learning to critically question statements and judging them yourself (which requires some knowledge, for example you can't question anti-vaxxers when you don't know anything about how vaccines work) instead of simply believing them is extremely important in a democracy.

Depends on in which part of the world this happened

I'm pretty sure :) has already existed before that. They probably already drew it into sand ten thousand years ago.
