And why are they migrating, I wonder. If only there were reasons other than purely economic ones, like war, lack of stability, extreme droughts and other fucked up things we tend to think of while considering third world countries - many of them destabilized forever by the western nations.
The thing is, we're both lucky, my Czech friend. They were not. What are they supposed to do? Die there, just because the richest and most privileged place in the world is too good to help out?
Muti Merkel and her 'Wir schafen das' promised them free money.
They came here for free money. Not for european culture and values.
Germans / French women and girls are raped every week by migrants.
Knife attacks are common business in Germany / France.
Sweden is admitting that they can't handle gang wars made by migrants.
Europe is getting to destroy by migrants because they don't give fuck about europe.
Peace, love for everyone is one big fairy tale. World / nature / universe doesn't work like it.
Move out of europe if you hate europe.
Thanks for reminding me these garbage takes aren't exclusive to the us, and sometimes you Europeans are even crazier with your xenophobia.
Unfortunately xenophobia is alive and well also in Europe. It tends to be more insidious and subtle, but it is very much there.
currently, I believe India takes the cake on that particular front, at least prime minister Modi does. For example, the ruling part is making all schools, public & private, remove references to evolution and the periodic table of the elements from grade 10 science curriculum as it challenges Hindu Nationalist ideas of Indians being the first peoples, and the greatest scientists.
@tomve_cz @szczur cultures and values change over time. That is the natural progression of the world. Migration is a human right, keeping your lilly white part of the world lilly white is not.
Do you want to make europe one big islamic continent? Do I understand correctly? thx
@tomve_cz @szczur no I want Jesus's name to be proclaimed throughout the earth.
However, what i want isn't at stake here. What is at stake here is the very lives of individuals. If you don't want certainly individuals to come to your home, that's your business, but you have no right to prevent me from inviting them to mine.
An extra benefit is the great wealth all of the world would receive by recognizing freedom of movement. But even if economists are wrong, it would still be the right thing to do.
Amen!
btw are you american or european? I saw that you wrote about serving in US CG
@tomve_cz @szczur I am individual who happens to reside in the part of the world you are referring to as America. American is not a term I personally would use to describe myself any longer.
Man, the one and only reason humanity is a thing so different than the others is because we have a natural tendency towards helping out each other and cooperate in ways not observed amongst other species. Empathy and benevolence are inherently human traits and it's what made our society rise above in the first place.
But some people are assholes and you're a great example of that.
You just showed that you have no fucking idea about living.
You are more likely bored person who never had to work or your parents are / were too busy so they didn't spend a lot of time with you and you ended up in some naive reality.
@tomve_cz @szczur I mean I grew up on a Farm in Northwestern Wisconsin, I'm now employed in the metal working industry in Metro Detroit. My entire life I've had to labor, and my parents where always spending time with me, as much as I would have rather rode my bike to town to hang out with my friends, working in the fields, selling at the farmers' market, etc.
