Reddit is a cesspit for any kind of discussion of this crisis, highest rated comment in most threads is about how that little boy is "nothing special, kids die everyday, who would have children during wartime" "The literal opposition of Canada is "far left". gently caress that cesspit. I've literally not seen any decent discussion whatsoever anywhere about this. I'm glad there is some kind of outrage here, not against the immigration, but the wanton treatment asylum seekers are facing in their struggle to escape literal hell on earth. The positive outlook so many have when interviewed, simply for being the hell away from Syria is something special, and the reactionaries online are determined to pretend they're all a product of radical Islamism, and not of a region destabilized by a united developed world effort. Sorry for ranting, but it's a lot to get my head around lately, basically thanks for this thread. Nonsense fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Sep 4, 2015 |

How common are deaths like the large group found in Austria? That incident sounds like what some immigrants traversing through Mexico have dealt with via "coyotes" who steal their cash and ditch the locked cargo vehicle in the Chihuahua desert.

You are in no position to question how a working class/poor ethnic Swede feels or their experiences regarding islamic immigrants. Ugh gently caress yeah we're gonna question 'working class' Swedes who are bigoted and will elect a former Neo Nazi Prime Minister. European feelings aren't going to be respected because your xenophobia is killing thousands.

Get these people off the boats and into proper living quarters throughout Europe and the United States shouldn't just wait for these people to 'make it'. Bring them here if Europeans can't be helped to look at their man-made disaster square in the face.

Volkerball posted:Kurdi's family fled from Damascus to Aleppo in 2012, and then to Kobani after fighting in Aleppo picked up. He and his family were absolutely displaced by Assad. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.  Syria is so much more hosed up than just Assad, those people are no more informed than the refugees who said gently caress it and left. War isn't going to solve poo poo, because we have a proven track record of not giving a poo poo about that part of the world once we blow it up and pat ourselves on the back for it. Everybody is just coyly whistling past the grave yard as if they know any drat thing, but military involvement has been a catastrophe not a cure. Assad isn't going away, get over it.

Like bombing the poo poo out of ISIS and Assad was going to help all the people who are currently refugees drowning in the sea. If it will even help anyone. No Assad is the sole problem, now please support the mass bombardment of people who have no idea how the gently caress they're even going to make it through the week alive. Seriously Cameron, and the Tories are vile, and I can't imagine the state of electoral politics that the Tories gained a majority. Nonsense fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Sep 6, 2015 |

Volkerball posted:If you're gonna try your hand at whitesplaining, at least try not to be militantly wrong about everything. I never said Assad was the sole problem, but he's the one responsible for the current state of Syria, the vast majority of deaths, and the vast majority of displacement. Ironically, a lot of refugees who knew they could talk the talk fled to ISIS held territory for a while, because it was spared the bombings for a year or two while the regime let them take care of some of the moderate rebel groups that actually presented a long term threat to the regime. Without Assad's bombings, there would be safe places in Syria outside of Rojava. But the bombings happen, and that's 90% of why half of Syria's population is displaced, the majority of whom were displaced by 2013 before ISIS even really existed in Syria. Would you at least maintain consistency and say it's wrong to bomb ISIS because of the civilian casualties that campaign causes? Because if you think ISIS is so depraved that civilian casualties are acceptable, but there's no good reason to destroy the regimes means to bomb bakeries and hospitals, you have no clue about the reality in Syria. You will not be able to tie anti-war sentiment with being pro-ISIS, I will not play that game, and I have always been consistent, I'v always said Assad is going nowhere, and you continue to believe his downfall is just around the corner. The guy has Russian dollars, and Russian soldiers, the conflict has grown far beyond your simple deductions that "OOGA BOOGA IF ONLY LEFTISTS GET HEAD OUT OF rear end AND BOMB BAD MUSLIMS TO SAVE GOOD MUSLIMS". The United States should attend to this refugee crisis, not create dozens more of them. Nonsense fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Sep 6, 2015 |

Apparently Swedish politicians want to put refugees on remote islands, and Swedes are saying refugees would be ungrateful to oppose this measure, and that they've already obtained a better life "without lifting a finger". Racist Euros now have to pretend refugees all took a plane to Europe now.

Reminder the UK expenses scandal is probably all over Euro parliaments as well, so basically gently caress off with this "woe is us poor Europeans". They're all crooked bastards, squeeze 'em with taxes and get these people housed and fed. Also the United States should be looking at way way more than only 65,000.
