It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Are Muslims actually immigrating illegally or is this just another Americanism cemented into Europe?

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 65 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

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.

desperate people walking hundreds of miles in the hopes of being exploited so they can at least live

Crackers: we're under attack!

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"

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's going to get really ugly.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

The only non-socialist people who appreciate the human component of climate change are fascists who agree that there's a problem but their solution is genocide.

Again, agony-deep

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.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

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!
