Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

just like in every other european country, there were almost no steps towards integration. this is what you get.
Here in Denmark the right wing faught hard to make sure no actual integration would happen. Now they point at the badly integrated immigrants and say "look, they're not even interested in being integrated".
We have laws that prevent immigrants from getting jobs, and a language course that isn't mandetory. These laws are in place because of the right wing party "Danish Peoples Party" didn't want immigrants to be able to succeed.
How are people supposed to be integrated when they can't meet the people they need to integrate with?
When we got a shitload of ukrainians, the law preventing them from working was abolished, but only for ukrainian refugee. Guess what? The ukrainians are integrating amasingly. Turns out, if you get to socialise with people, you're more likely to learn how to behave around those people.
Yep, history repeats itself again. Netherlands and Germany imported a ton of laborers from North Africa and Turkey after WW2. But they literally only let the equivalent of redneck hillbillies in, since they were cheaper than educated urbanites. Germany and Netherlands needed cheap labor to rebuild after the war, but they wanted the cheapest of the cheapest. So most of them were illiterate subsistence farmers. And everyone thought that they would go back home after a few years so no efforts were made to integrate these people. And even if they tried they failed since these people weren’t very smart. Like seriously I’ve seen people who live here in Europe for longer than they lived in their country of birth and still can’t string a proper sentence together in the language of the country they live in. Not to mention most are religiously conservative and conservatives are not known to be openminded which makes it hard to integrate them.
Lo and behold two generations later the descendants of these migrants are overrepresented in the jobless, school dropout and crime stats.
Ah yes only the very intelligent can learn to speak our sophisticated language.
This is such a incredibly stupid and hypocritical accusation, since like you correctly spelled out before they weren't given many opportunities to do so. Since they were poor most had/have difficulties learning a language while also working construction, where most their coworkers aren't german speakers either and housing costs force them to live in areas where they don't have much cause/opportunity to bother with other germans. This is unlike most of the germans living in Turkey who dont bother to learn turkish out of sheer laziness.
I had a friend who came here speaking turkish and arabic and learned farsi, urdu and kurmanci before german because thats the people he had contact with. On the other side I have lived in Turkey as a german and a lot of the other europeans there did not bother to integrate at all, but chose to live in gated, self-segregated communities where they had as little turkish culture as possible.
