Of course, if you are frying your brains in some pub or club in London, or if you are sitting in a posh cafe' in Paris, you would never think so. All you want is to be left alone, and to live your suave European life. A life built on the bones and blood of hundreds of millions of victims.
Huge and super-rich Europe cannot accommodate even one million of people flowing from the ruined Middle East? Seriously? Tiny Lebanon managed to survive an influx of 2 million refugees at the height of so-called "Syrian crises". Crime rate did not skyrocket, country did not collapse. You know why? Because Lebanese people have heart and decency. While the West has nothing of that nature.
If your family became rich because it was robbing and murdering, would you want to return the booty? Would you open the doors to those whom your parents and brothers tortured and pillaged? Some would. After opening their eyes, they would. But not the West. It only takes. It never gives. It hates those who give. It smears, even attacks all decent nations.
The horrors are still happening right now, in devastated Afghanistan, a country reduced to ashes, after being designated as a training base for the fundamentalists ready to infiltrate and damage China, Russia, former Soviet Central Asia republics, Iran and Pakistan. I work there, I know. Or Syria. I work there too. Or Venezuela, one of my favorite countries on earth. And the list goes on and on.
I cannot anymore read those self-righteous, hypocritical outbursts, coming from the British, French, Italian, North American and Greek voters who only want benefits, while choosing to remain blind to the global genocides their regime is committing all over the world.
These people could not care less about who pays for their welfare, or how many millions die supplying them with their privileges.
They want more. They always complain "how poor and exploited they are". They do not want to stop neo-colonialism. They only desire more money and better living conditions for themselves. "We are all humans", they say. "We are all victims". And then they vote in the extreme right-wing, and demand that the "refugees" be kept out.
They have blood on their hands. And most of them are not victims, but victimizers. They are not internationalists. Just mini-imperialists, selfish products of their culture of colonialism.
The West has to open the doors to the world which has been devastated during the long centuries.
Some people 'outside' have been literally turned into beggars, so the West could thrive.
'Political correctness' in London or New York lies, saying how wonderful the world outside is. No! It is not. Much of it is poor, gangrenous, horrid! Disgusting. Because it was made like that. Because it was beaten, violated, and robbed for centuries.
These people, the true victims, are demanding only two things: to be left alone and to be allowed to build their own nations, without Western military interventions, without self-serving NGO's and Western-controlled U.N. agencies. That's one.
Two, to go when they want to go, where their stolen riches are!
Either they will be let in, compensated and asked for forgiveness, or they will do what is their right: break the gates!
