| Faelco said: Of course! I'm not saying "let them die". What I'm saying is that it's cute to say "let's welcome everyone" without anything more, but it's useless, because it's not a solution, and it won't change anything to the real problems (dead people because of the travel and awful living conditions). Refugees are not a problem but a symptom of something else, and it can only get worse until we do something about the real problem. I'm not suggesting that everyone should be welcome without anything more. Simply stating my bottom line given the situation we have now. And yes, it is a bandaid - not a permanent solution. However, we must stop the bleeding before anything else. So what I'm saying is : let's make something for them to keep living in their country, or at least closer from their country to avoid lots of useless deaths. It's not like the Syrian situation happened last week, but European politicians are still saying that we can't and won't do anything about it. Same thing with Libya for example. So instead of doing some nice PR talks where everyone is happy and nice and love all refugees, let's at least think about the real problem... It's stupid to do a party to welcome a refugee in front of cameras if his family drowned on the way... Hypocrisy is nice, but it has its limits...
I worked on a small research paper about Arab Spring for a french Defense training institution (affiliated to the Department of Defense). It was in 2011, and already our biggest point was the immigrants risk if nothing was done to help some countries. Everyone already knew back then that there would be a lot of deaths because of this. Nothing was done about it, people died, and it's stupid to wake up now trying to look nice. We let them die, and we were fully aware of that for a long time. Couldn't agree more. |
