The Global Hypocrisy of Rescuing the Titan
The Global Hypocrisy of Rescuing the Titan
You're viewing a single thread.
The hypocrisy isn't with the sub. Extensive rescue efforts always happen with oddball accidents and disappearances. Any sub or ship disappearing while exploring the Titanic would get the same attention.
The hypocrisy is with handling refugees in general. Just like with the local homeless, nobody simply knows what to do with them, everyone likes to pretend they kinda care but also want the problem to go away, and nobody wants to have them in their own back yard.
Well, unless it's Ukrainians with "blond hair and blue eyes" (yea I'm not getting over that, because that's exactly how people think about this situation) who are welcome with open arms and get free housing and care. Because all war refugees are equal, but some are more equal.
But some black kids? If a couple hundred drown, that's just less problems for the western countries.
That's how it works.
blond hair and blue eyes
Yes, I‘m sure it‘s their hair and eye color rather than the obvious fact that refugees from war torn countries in the Middle East have endangered public security here. It‘s not groups of Ukrainians that have quite literally raped and killed children in my country.
That all refugees are equal sounds like some lefty thing, in reality they obviously are not. Turning a blind eye to reality and accusing those that do not of racism isn’t going to win any elections. That’s why I doubt any efforts that would help more refugees come to Europe would be politically successful.
For what it‘s worth I am sorry for the refugees. I don’t know how we can help the situation without risking our own safety. Crying racism isn’t going to do it. We would need to convince voters that a solution does not threaten safety here.
I‘d imagine that if we want to implement stronger sea rescue operations, we would need a legal basis for bringing the rescued to another location, rather than settling them in Europe while we start years long asylum processes that can never realistically be fair. I doubt voters are going to approve otherwise.
Well I didn't think we had any of you people on this platform, but I guess you spread everywhere.
What country are you talking about specifically, are they actually "risking security" or does the news just highlight every individual case so it looks that way?
