@gAlienLifeform this is what much of the EU public is voting for, cheered on by the media which finds the extreme right irresistibly sexy.
They are voting for murdering desperate people.
And they’re going to keep doing it, because it’s easy to push the narrative that these people aren’t human beings with hopes and fears and desires, but some amorphous threat that “must be stopped”.
We can be better than this, but we never see to chose to be.

We have laws in Europe. No political party that would allow that would be legal
I pressed the up arrow with the understanding that this is satire. I will retract my feedback in the event I am wrong
Wow. The video of the Greek official, denying everything during the official interview (whilst seeing video of a migrant woman and her child, forced onto a boat by armed men, who were then left in a dinghy to float towards Turkey), then caught with a hot mic during the break, talking to a colleague, saying:
“I haven’t told them much, right? It’s very clear, isn’t it. It’s not nuclear physics. I don’t know why they did it in broad daylight… It’s… obviously illegal. It’s an international crime.”
This migrant crisis will only get worse.
“That’s something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don’t seem to have the same… affection we have for children.”
The blatant dehumanisation is sickening as well.
When the Right talks about stopping immigration, that’s what they actually mean.
The fact that this is breaking on the BBC, also should tell you something about the state of press freedom in Mitsotakis’ Greece.
If hell is real it won’t be adequate punishment for these assholes
