11% - not sure who this is for. Author seems intent to show a growing 'problem' but hasn't made me conscious of what the repercussions actually are yet.

13% - immigration doesn't necessarily increase GDP per head, even if it increases GDP. Seems the main thrust is dispelling misinformation surrounding migration. Popculture paints a rosy picture but like anything there are at least two sides worth looking at.

14% - Re: aging workforce vs bringing in immigrants - Perhaps some people will see working longer in a society they know preferable to dying in one in which they feel like a stranger.

23% - It almost seems as though one world government is the only way forward. Is our society the one to grasp this ideal? How powerful must a group be to do such a thing? Until we see humanity as one, friction is inevitable. The high moral ground I am lucky to be born on is so gut wrenchingly worth defending but also wrought of the same taking that I am hearing criticized in The Other. How can I blame another for wanting to take? Is that the only path to the moral highground; to take and take until standing there? Is there not a way to share, invite, deliver; instead of watching this ground erode into a lower, but wider, way of being? Surely the only purpose of this book is to answer this question.

27% - seems sort of funny to think that there are arguments here about female genital mutilation and child rape in northern England and that's sort of a dig at eastern values, meanwhile in the west the priests are... well, you know.

30% - identity politics and the real contemplation of the problem appears to be starting here

33% - the 'great replacement' is not of worker but of culture

41% - I'm still left without a strong sense of thesis which is frustrating. Tards be tardin' is all I've seen so far, and I knew that already and it is true of all populations.

43% - first thing I didn't know finally, stats about Muslim on jew crime rates. Sad. Still waiting for a purpose to this book but now that I have been delivered new and important information I guess it has at least had utility.

50% Canada has arrived. Good to hear Aussies got the shame spiral too.

52% - this is the crux. And cuts both ways. "what is focused on tells you as much as the thing itself"

82% - given up hope on a positive note to this book. It's just stuff I kinda already knew.

100 - Not bad. Kinda sad. Good to be aware of the facts instead of just letting divisive rhetoric from either 'side' rule the day.
