      People who claim that don’t mean literally work with smugglers. They mean, that efforts to save refugees encourages fleeing.

      That’s about as logical as claiming ambulances are working with drug dealers when they try to save someone ODing.

        It is illogical, not to mention callous. And yet the exaggerated rhetoric persists and whips up negative sentiment towards literal life savers from braindead segments of the far right.

        They’re wrong about encouraging fleeing too (as if that even needed saying) as I’ve pointed out elsewhere on the thread.
