I think the refugees are motivated much more by the financial incentives those governments provide. They usually pass through multiple safe countries to get to places like Germany. A modernized Plantation of Ulster has been the policy of every Western government since the 60s.
War and, I guess, the weather, are convenient narratives for these highly unpopular policies.
- fourthwaveska 5y agoI’m guessing you have never volunteered at a refugee camp? Would you like to? I ask in all seriousness. The UN has several programs which are basically refugee tourism. Like missionary work but without forcing them to get baptized for their supper. I did it in Turkey 6 years ago. Imagine 5 miles of tents in any direction. Most people who were there then are still there now.
