Fortress Europe keeps cruelly raising its walls against the global south {Good one, Graun!}
The Guardian ^ | 9/11/2024 | Pia Klemp

Posted on 09/12/2024 1:33:56 AM PDT by Cronos

.. Paris is a city whose police steal blankets from people they force to live on the streets while suppressing protests and criminalizing people who defend the rights of migrants and asylum seekers.

...

The walls of Fortress Europe are constantly raised higher, the isolation increasingly brutal. People fleeing face almost insurmountable bureaucratic and physical hurdles. The European border protection agency Frontex is the central instrument of this isolationist policy, which stigmatizes people seeking protection as a threat to European security and treats them accordingly. Human rights violations along the EU’s external borders are committed ondaily basis.

Safe andlegal ways for people on the move to enter the EU are steadily diminishing, illegalized routes are growing more dangerous, criminalization of people seeking refuge and anyone that assists them is in full swing, externalization of European borders spreads deep into other continents, new racist agreements hostile to migration are adopted and existing deals consolidated. The aim is not to protect people fleeing but to protect the EU from people fleeing.

No other body of water is as seamlessly monitored as the Mediterranean, yet boats sink and people drown there almost every day. It is the deadliest border in the world. People are denied the right to life by the EU and its member states, whose deliberate policies are responsible for the mass grave in the Mediterranean. The EU has decided to militarize its borders instead of providing the resources required to save lives at sea. Relentless reinforcement of border police and calculated outsourcing of further border controls to foreign coast guards and militias mean tens of thousands of innocent people die at sea and in detention camps.

...Let’s be clear: the EU is waging an undeclared war against people on the move. It is a nationalist, racist, militarized, anti-democratic war.

Pia, until people like you start dealing with “FACTS” the people you seek to help are only going to be abused more meaning you harm them more than you help them.

Here’s a couple facts:

1. A too high percentage of African Blacks are untrainable due to low IQ. That’s a fact that unstable liberals like yourself won’t deal with.

2. The European does not have any obligation, moral or otherwise, to allow his country to be destroyed to help Africans who won’t stay home and FIGHT to develop their own country even though often their country has enormous natural resources.

3. Most of the world thinks your tatoo’s are stupid.

It is a nationalist, racist, militarized, anti-democratic war.

nationalist - countries looking out for their own interests? Shocking!

racist - apparently every interracial contact not resulting in complete and joyful surrender by the whites is racist

militarized - yeah, defense of a border often requires the military unless you pay attention to the moose at the gate telling you the park is closed

anti-democratic - this is the one that confuses me. In general, the majority of the European people have turned against mass immigration. The time of young women holding up "refugees welcome"banners is over. So if the people of the European countries want their borders closed and their "guests" returned home, how is it anti-democratic to refuse yet more of them entry. Unless the invading countries get a vote too? Sorry, Poland, Germany and Russia held a vote and decided to invade and split you.

I recently posted a response to an article spelling out one way to determine how the author was instructing you to think about the subject. Look at the adverbs, the words ending in “ly” which help the verb, the action word, by describing how the verb is to be interpreted. Right there in the title, “cruelly.” There you go. Click on to the next article.

If the author had worked a bit harder, you’d need to read several paragraphs in before you began to question your world view or accept her world view. But she was lazy.

Raising walls will come to be inadequate. To prevail, guns must be hauled out and invaders killed

Since when is invasion an appropriate (and for LIB nitwits...desirable) thing? Deport ALL illegal alien invaders. Build border walls. Shoot those that illegally climb over, under or go through. Caucasians make comprise only about 8% of the world’s population. Caucasians are THE minority that is discriminated against.

Needed: less compassion for the invaders and more compassion for the citizens who have to pay for the invaders.

It’s always worth posting a picture of the authors of these opinion pieces, especially from propaganda organs like The Guardian, so you can see the type of losers writing them. And most come out of the same mold.

After seeing that picture, would anybody take anything she says with anything but derision?

Uh, reality. It's like a bus. When it comes, some people don't get on.

You nailed it. Once again.πŸ‘πŸ»

Still, I am deeply concerned for the future of our nations. If it all should go pear-shaped in the future, we might have civil wars which could hold a candle to the civil wars in Russia 1918-21 or Spain 1936-39.

God help us all.πŸ™πŸ»
