Merkel says letting the murderers in through the front door isn’t relevant to being murdered.
You correctly characterize a compulsion driven thought pattern, which is unable to relate cause and effect--unable to the point of absolute madness. You will find iterations of this irrational thought pattern all up and down the Collectivist/egalitarian agenda.
I know that many would like to focus solely on the present immigration fallacies--and believe me, I am in agreement on that focus so far as it goes. But the same compulsion driven denial of reason runs the gamut of almost all Leftist experiments in social engineering. It is endemic to the philosophy dominating the humanities in academia, as well as the mainstream media in the Western world. (In pointing this out, I do not mean to ignore those business interests which adopt the mantle in pursuit of globalist profits at the expense of patriotism and respect for heritages achieved through the blood, sweat and tears of at least 40 generations.)
God forgive us--or not, as in His infinite wisdom, beyond our mortal understanding, He alone will decide, because we will not deserve forgiveness--if we fail to take full advantage of Donald Trump's breaking down the strangle hold that the PC deniers of reality had established over the public discourse. This is our chance to get out of Alice's rabbit hole--to return from the lunacy that Swift's Gulliver encountered on the island of Laputa;--to escape the nightmare that the Clintons, Obamas, Pelosis, Merkels, etc., intend for the future.
