MODERATORS
Yeah, exact same thing is happening in Australia. Even the camps, they're just not explicitly extermination camps as much as "destroy your soul with indefinite and lengthy confinement" camps. They prefer the name "detention centres" though. I hope refugees in Europe are treated better than that.
No, sadly refugees are already treated quite badly here. Germany took in a respectable amount but then left it to the EU border countries to either deal with them with little to no help or just shut themselves off completely. :( What would really be needed is a program to redistribute resources from the wealthy profiting from neocolonialism/climate change to those affected by it, but it's generally framed as if the general population would need to pay for that which turns them against the refugees.
Think it's called Socialist utopia? With you big dog, that would be fantastic.
They also take advantage of people's lack of math skills to present scary absolute numbers of immigrants that are not that high per capita.
Well the UK have tried to emulate Australia by outsourcing detention to Rwanda, so no. Probably not.
