    I have no idea how this narrative that it’s the immigrants that are the problem, so we throw them all out, is working on people. I don’t know how the idea of putting them in off-shore prisons without trials is working with people. The entire idea is costly and completely fucked. That karma is coming back on all of us.

      Creating in groups and outgroups.

      why fix real problems you are profiting from if you can blame an innocent powerless minority.

      worst that’ll happen is you eradicate them, but then you just gotta point the blame to the next minority.

      The only thought process I have seen is that “The rules are that you have to follow the process. You can’t just come here for economic opportunity without getting permission. Every country works this way.”

      There’s no thought process behind what actual harm is caused. It’s a mental centering on Rules. They refuse to dive behind why they respect those rules, and why they’re okay ignoring those rules for Europeans, because the answer is just Racism.

      Yet these same people expect to be let off with a warning when stopped for speeding. Rules for me, not for thee.
