*Looks at a few of the comments* Okay, to interject some simpleton-ness into this:
Go ahead, blame the US, but mind you, not ALL of us here in the US wanted this crap, nor do some of us want to deal with more migrants/refugees/whatever when we have so many problems here, that it's almost uncanny. I say we let the people migrating/whatever into the states that were more active to desiring the wars/bombings that caused this mess.
Am I for helping? Sure, but after we get at least our shit together first. Pretty sure there is more than enough civil unrest here to go around...oh wait...
And that is why it is important to differentiate criticism of government and or people.
In almost all the cases, the criticism is directed at governments and not the "people", but normally, on the flip side, the criticism coming from other side is directed at " people", stuff like Refugees are lazy, Refugees dont want to fight, they're there because they're off to leech into the system etc. Yea they're all stupid and dumb and take their kids of the land and out them on the boat and some crazy lunatics were roaming around their houses, destroying their homes, raping their daughters using funds, weapons and training coming in from you-take-a-guess.
My friend, where is the public pressure to alter the policy? Where is the democracy in action? You come out once 4-5 years, pt in a ballot paper on whoever sold you the dreams and sit back and then get apalled, "yo what's going on".
And BTW, I'm very much the same as mentioned above. Just sayin'. West generally has a more educated "public". And it's not like, once elected, politicians give a shit. Iraq war hadntje biggest demonstrations, politicians didn't do shit, and turns out, the collective mind of the masses protesting out there was right on.
And to be honest it's bit hypocritical of me as well to say all this, i VE voted once, before that I didn't really believe in the system, election process here is full of holes and often gets rigged and my vote doesn't matter, but yea, I figured, my vote makes it yet another vote the cheaters would need to rig, why make their life easier
, I voted anti establishment politically rebel party, out with the old rot, in with the new.
