Reply to comment by laozi72 in Banksy's migrant rescue ship seized by Italy's coast guard in Lampedusa by Crimbobimbobippitybo
True. It's so easy for NGOs to say all they do is rescuing people. They didn't do anything wrong. Which is a good thing to save people.
But they let Italy take ALL the responsability after that. If actually those NGOs pay for all accomodation, food, healthcare, welfare, ....for the migrants they bring, they won't get that much of a backlash. But they just drop them and BOOM they leave.
And Italy can't do anything just because they signed some paper decade years ago.
It's basically unfair. And EU think throwing money into Italy will solve or reduce the burden. No.

Reply to comment by El3ctricalSquash in Ukraine Defense intelligence shows insides of Shahed drones, which Russia uses to attack by DoremusJessup
The scope of destruction politicians can cause directly and indirectly is incomparable to what your average psychopath joe has ever done. So I didn't take baconguy's use of civilian literally. Timmy killed 160 some people that day. How many can you argue the US federal government has killed? Almost half a mil/year was the estimate according to Forbes back in 2020.
Feels different when they do it compared to some rando. A bomb or mass shooting is really direct and in your face. Policy not so much.

>That would require way too much effort and admitting that the EU is refusing to face the problem as a community instead of leaving one or two countries neck deep in shit.
I agree. It's time for EU to work for a long term solution as this migrants-boat crisis seems to not have an no-ending cycle every year. And it's a matter of time before Italy, Greece explose. EU already pay hundred millions to billion € to Turkey, Morocco, Libya, .... it seems not enough to keep the migrants...hundred millions to protect its border, an increase in Frontex.... and still fail to find solution on the boat from mediteranean sea.
So the only solution is having better talk/negociation with safe africans countries to relocate africans refugees/migrants within africans continent. EU will have to take a thougher measures like Australia.
Makes laws that any migrants that come through the sea will be deported into a detention center in africa and they won't get any asylum in Europe. And then, support financially (with tech transfer or knowledge) the africans countries that are taking migrants/refugees to increase their growth and industrialization.
​
>Everyone wants to save them but no one wants to take them in
True, you basically point out the problem. And that's how I see it as well.
People want to rescue the migrants from drawning. It's a good thing. But no country want to take them in. Because it's a huge responsability and a burden to the tax payer....without forgetting the culture clash that can happen at any time.

This is like the fucking 9gag posts that point out all the World Leaders flew to the Climate Conference.
So what ? This is just another part of "Solving climate change is YOUR responsibility, not the one of Industry".
Which it isnt. You can live as Green as possible, not own a Car, never fly, only eat grass and drink River water (i.e be poor) and BP will generate all the Co2 you would have created in your lifetime in 2 seconds.
This whole personal responsibility shit is blown way out of proportion.

The fact that this has become a battle with fires and cops and injuries and everything makes no sense at all in a democracy when they're discussing a matter of public policy of interest to all. It obviously calls for a conversation and a democratic decision. But here we are.

It's one of those things that works when people forget. If you do it consistently enough then you can push any narrative. Eventually there will be a ceasefire and the ending narrative will be "we came out ahead but global powers are conspiring against us." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firehose_of_falsehood
