      I do think so yeah. Refugees from Syria and Iraq. Anyone remember the Belarus saga?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus–European_Union_border_crisis

      The article is definitely biased against migrants which tells you who wrote it.

      At the same time, human rights organizations have been criticized for downplaying the threat to the security of the countries under attack, unrealistic approach and offering no alternative but open borders.

      “attack”. Very ironic since they already have open borders within their own walled garden.

        Killing innocent people by the thousands and displacing millions, either through direct war or by destabilizing their countries to fall into civil war so that other parties fight over it for the gain of the capitalist elite in Europe and the US

        Unfortunate accidents or necessary evils

        Those same people fleeing their now strife ridden homelands for asylum elsewhere

        WE ARE UNDER ATTACK

      This began as a refugee crisis caused by the Syrian war and hasn’t stopped since. Tens of thousands did migrate illegally or claim refugee status, this caused a massive reaction and the popularity of the far right in europe that we see today stems from it as the primary starting point.

      It only took 30,000 or so to cause this, and it is also the primary driving force of Brexit.

      With that information in mind, imagine what millions will cause as climate change really starts to make things bad.

        And people ask me why I am so agony-deep about climate change when everyone else is like “I guess I’ll move to Canada”

        There were seven million refugees living within the EU in 2021. The Syrian refugee crisis in 2015 alone was 1.5 million people.

          I’m talking about Britain specifically in relation to being a major cause of Brexit. But saying 30,000 is fairly relevant to most european countries as a rough figure except Germany. Or was, it’s a little higher now maybe 40 to 50 is a better generalisation.

        What gives me hope is knowing that the third world is not helpless. In the past I was a big climate doomer, but I think more and more we will see third world countries become able to cope with climate change, at least to the extent that Europeans won’t be able to enact their wet dream of a total world genocide.

      Immigrant, Refugee, Asylum Seeker, citizen but wrong skin colour is basically all just “Ausländer” even to the libs with no distinction being made between those so usually it’s impossible to tell what people mean except that they’re being racist

      Yeah, some through the Belarus-Poland border, which made Polish nationalists go wild and go full fortress Europe.

      Just as expected really. It’s like a chud’s wet dream come true - finally! an invasion! time to KILL!
