He's probably right

Remember the fedora stereotype going from from m'lady nice guys to PUA weirdos to angry incels while looking exactly the same? Longing turns to bargaining turns to bitterness and hatred when pandering behaviour doesn't get them what they feel entitled to. Every White Fragility stan is a thin layer of :decorum: away from being a Karen.

I tend to agree this is the likely course that's going to happen barring some real miracle of a global european socdem/marxist revolution, which is not impossible, but much less likely than heading into Children of Men failed lib dem state. The climate is only getting increasingly erratic with overall trend of major droughts, running out of water, upset and wracked food supply, etc. Like it's often not mentioned that partly what's precipitating the whole south american refugee crises and the syrian civil war is basically prolonged drought. Major cities in india virtually ran out of water last year with some brief reprieve and gunna be worse this year, hundreds of millions without water and increasing food scarcity* (artificial or otherwise) is yikes. That's why i think a lot of european countries are going to also try to pull various brexit and start going hard borders nationalism and the EU will somewhere between slowly to quickly dissolve in the next 10 years coupled with eu imposing harsh austerity and an absolutely awful monetary policies and restrictions designed to keep places nice and pliable for exploitation and bailing out the rich that just won't be tenable to accept anymore for many. China probably isn't too interested in having refugees either and will likely aim for that resolution.

oh yeah at the moment we're already actively pushing for killing people at the border with the barest of fig leaves (letting the boats sink/turning them back rather than actively engaging them, but it's the same loving thing) and there's no way that this is going to change except for further militarisation of the border and an euphemistic policy of murder - it'll be called 'active discouragement' or something and be coast guard ships strafing the boats until they sink

the issue here is that there's a limit to how lovely people are willing to be. a key argument at the moment is that the present hard line is a net benefit to migrants because it means that they don't invest so much in coming to europe in the first place, making it at least arguable in bad faith that it's better for everybody

we on the european left *must* face this challenge out of simple intellectual consistency - solidarity in one country isn't feasible. unless we can make class consciousness and working class people genuinely feel that they've more in common with the people fleeing the chaos the *we* have created than with the ruling class in our own countries, the only option is some form of collapse into barbarism - and as imperialist hyperexploitation stops being viable, the screws are going to tighten a lot at home as well, meaning that a lot of imperial violence is coming home...

this is a huge challenge, but i doubt that it can be resolved by eighties/nineties multiculturalism. first comes food, and then comes ethics - our only hope is to reframe the conflict from one between nations to one between classes, which means celebrating our similarities rather than our differences. there is a long way to go and it's going to be very difficult indeed, and it absolutely necessitates a new anti-racist ideology working off old-fashioned class mentality. i doubt that we're in with a real shot as bourgeois hegemony is simply too strong, but i think it's the only theoretically valid way out

so i'm discussing this with jeffrey and squizzle and we think there could be a mod pod where every week the mods read one chapter of the brothers karamazov and watch one episode of the simpsons, and discuss how the two illuminate and contextualize one another -- and the forums. each mod has to read one chapter and has to summarize it for the mod reading the next chapter.

cumulatively.

and that would be great because maybe three chapters in people will start summarizing things with ms paint renderings or a video of geese or whatever.
