There’s a lot of arguing in the reblogs/replies, but no links to actual concrete ways to become of help to these people. When u realize you grew up in a world of lies. America, damn why did I have to be born here?!If only you were born in Chechnya.Oh dear god, you guys mean to say that a COUNTRY is ENFORCING ITS BORDERS???? That a government thinks that there’s a limit to how many people can reasonably live in the country without any serious unemployment crises, an increase in crime, a decrease in wages, and more difficulty in providing welfare services to all these new people??? How fucking dare they, obviously America just needs to take in everyone from everywhere, no limits on how many, no background checks, no other requirements for them to live here. America just needs to have totally open borders and fuck it, let’s jus make everyone in the world an American citizen! That’ll work!Seriously, if you people think America is so bad because…we won’t take everyone in?, and are so disappointed with america and apparently are ashamed to have been born here, then why do you also think that this is the best place for refugees, separated from us by an ocean plus other countries, to come to? You just said you don’t like America, one of you said “it’s always been fucking garbage”, so why exactly do you want the refugees/immigrants/whatever to come live here? Like it sounds like you think America is a pretty shitty place, so why would anyone want to live here? OH IS IT BECAUSE ITS ACTUALLY PRETTY GODDAMN GOOD AND YOURE HAPPY TO LIVE HERE IN A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY WHERE YOU ALSO HAVE FREE SPEECH???? AND DO YOU THINK AMERICA WONT GET WORSE IF ITS OVERPOPULATED, PARTICULARLY IF ITS WITH PEOPLE WHO DONT SPEAK ENGLISH AND COME FROM AREAS WITH DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT CULTURES THAT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CLASH WITH AMERICAN CULTURE???These are gay men being murdered, dude. I’m no genius, but I’m fairly certain not letting minorities get mass murdered is generally considered a good thing.Did you ignore everything I said I think your capslock about how foreign cultures weaken the US, so we shouldn’t aloow refugees in speaks for itself. As does the fact that you’re pretty good with not granting asylum to a minority that’s getitng rounded up and slaughtered.Wow, your reading comprehension is just fuckedI’d say it’s more fucked to turn people away to be tortured and murdered for being gay, frankly.And that’s not even getting into the irony of Cobaine being an ardent supporter of gay rights.There’s no irony there. I’m totally in favor of gay rights. If you actually could understand what you read, you’d realize I was saying 1) we can’t take everyone in. Also, there are other countries they could go to that are closer. Refugees are supposed to go to the closest safe country. And 2) that the people saying they wanted them to come to the US were also calling America terrible, so, uh, why would refugees want to come here? Oh yeah, because it’s not terrible? Yeah, see, I was trying to get them to see the inherently contradictory nature of those statements. Is English not your first language, or did you just never pass fourth grade?You’re all for gay rights, but you don’t want our country to help gay men fleeing murder. And then you complain about other people being hypocrites. -- source link
