Funny.

World doesn't have a heart. And most people do have hearts only when it benefits them or their loved ones.

Then end up raising a next generation with a fresh viewpoint.

It was tried in European countries and results were not satisfactory - descendants of migrants, even well-adjusted migrants, were much more militaristic and more fanatical about their culture, than their parents.

And most do carry bad ideas from their homes, because, this is literally all they know. And they won't relinquish them, just, because, you've asked them. Its hardwired in their brains and, if this problem is to ever be resolved, most optimal way would be to "force" their countries to adopt Western values. Something like what have been done to Japan. And even than, Japan is very backwards on many issues.

This is like trying to destroy North Korean regime - you can kill Kim and his cronies, but most people still will be slaves of the regime, for years to come, even if it is a different regime. Because, this is all they know.

The same had happened in Russia, where people, most of which were not accustomed to having freedoms or personal property, always end up choosing "Tsars", because, this is something them and their ancestors have been accustomed to. They literally don't know how to live differently.

This is why, in my personal opinion, the greatest crime of any oppressive regime, is not even dead people they create in their wake (especially left regimes), but the fact that they rob people of any chance to become something greater, by putting them into conditions, where they don't even KNOW they have this chance.
