This is the best summary I could come up with:
Europe has seen a sharp rise in the share of people who say that reducing immigration should be a top government priority, according to a study published Wednesday.
At the same time, there was less desire to prioritize fighting climate change in the same countries, according to the survey commissioned by the Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation think tank.
“Nowhere is this reversal more striking than in Germany, which now leads the world with the highest share of people who want their government to focus on reducing immigration — topping all other priorities — and now nearly twice as high as fighting climate change,” the report read.
The authors found that the greatest perceived threat globally was war and violent conflict, followed by poverty and hunger, and then climate change.
"In the past four years, this perception has remained highest in Latin America, lowest in Asia and has steadily increased in Europe since 2020 — particularly in Germany, the report said.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, chair of the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, said the figures were “a wake-up call for all democratic governments.”
The original article contains 478 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Climate change is going to create millions upon millions of migrants
Yes. Just tell millions upon millions of suffering people they can’t cross the invisible line to find refuge.
Genius strategy.
Do you think the people who fear migration care the slightest bit about anyone but themselves?
An awful number of them would support attacking rafts filled with refugees with military warships.
Are there no prisons? And union workhouses, are they still in operation?
Fuck off and watch “A Christmas Carol” again… but this time try and realize that Ebenezer Scrooge isn’t meant to be a role model.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I said nothing about prisons or unions?
Living in a stable safe country is a privilege we’re born into, much like inheriting a trust fund. It’s an ethical duty to take in people in a less fortunate position. The emphasis should not be on numbers of immigrants so much as better integration once they’re here. And also on helping less fortunate countries (yes I realise why they aren’t as fortunate) become more developed. People don’t tend to migrate if the place they live is good. Oil wars are not helpful.
I think its not ethical to just let in everyone who was born in a third world country. That doesnt even make sense, its just not sustainable, fucks a lot of things up, and doesnt solve problems for anyone. It makes their country worse, make our country worse, what is the plan here?
We should tell right wingers that if they don’t stop climate change there’s gonna be more migrants. That will unironically work better than warning them about the world ending.
Pretty much everything people opposing immigration said came true.
Nah, the capitalists just pitted them and migrating people towards tension for a smoke screen while making working class life harder overall. Immigration opposers have been and consistently keep on being wrong with their paranoia.
So propping up the housing market by keeping population artificially increasing or keeping wages low by hiring lower paid foreign workers isn’t bad for the working population? What about increasing crime or cost to the government. Both of which have been recorded in government stats (though one is Danish).
“The capitalist” if anything want immigration. You want higher wages, better jobs and cheaper housing you want less immigration.
You’re all blinded by what you wish the world was like.
Making a class without agency always leads to crime, it doesn’t matter where they’re from
It would just be too bad if a bunch of people from, say, Africa and Asia, decided that it was about time to civilize those backward European savages and set up colonies on their land…
The nation that brought us The Third Reich isn’t eager to have outsiders on their soil?! This is more shocking than discovering that allowing your teen son to sleep over at Brian Peck’s house will likely result in Jr needing a lifetime of trauma therapy
