too many people conflate “not wanting foreigners to come to our country” with “not liking foreigners”.
don’t get me wrong, i have no problem with foreigners. I’m not a racist. But i don’t like them coming to our country.
I understand that we have to accept them, because (a) they need help and (b) we’re the reason they need help (the western world caused the wars in the middle east).
Still I think it’s wrong to uproot the lives of many people (moving them from one country to another).
Especially I think it’s disgusting how european politicians are discussing refugees as a way to “support our economy”, as if they were a mere tool of production. We have to put people first and economy second again.
that comment section is … disappointing.
It’s a topic that brings out the worst people, which probably is why it’s so hard to talk about.
