Don’t focus on what someone has and you don’t, question why they get that thing while you need it as well.
Comment on Protesters say ‘obscene’ profits from ‘inhuman’ asylum housing conditions must end
cheese_greater@lemmy.world 6 months agoI don’t see that happening, altho I agree we should just generally take care of people UBI style. But until the native population receives such gurantees, I’m not ok with certain classes of people having preferential and expedited access at the expense of everyone else who pays for and suffers for lack of such treatment

Actually a good point! Like use it as a doorstop to force that conversation and action on the matter. Touché
I’ve just been upset about that Ali Ibrahim case and what that represents to the average, struggling Canadian

You should rather focus on the rich part of the population who gets all of this stuff without doing any work while their whole life was great.
Refugees usually had some kind of trouble in their lives that rich people never had.
I’m fine with people who need help getting help while I don’t get that help yet.
The rich part of the population wants everyone else to believe that it’s the fault of the minorities instead of themselves because they rarely pay taxes or help out

The rich weaponize it regardless and focusing on them doesn’t matter because thats everyone elected. They’re not gonna spite themselves to do the right thing. How are the Refugees being hurt, they simply need to follow the process. Why is that such a problem for them but totes cool for the rest of us?

In america you can’t choose anything else than supporting the rich with your vote, no matter if you vote for rep or dem. If people move from their country there is usually a reason and that was what I was referencing with my prior comment.
IIRC the process is also heavily flawed but I might have to look that up again, am not from america.

For all intents and purposes, this is fair. But when you fail to provide the same necessaries or nice things to them and fail to be consistent with your own population, it strengthens populists who wanna burn the whole thing down no matter who it hurts.
Also, there is a severe lack of vetting and enforcing sureties on refugees and that needs to change, toute suite. Ali Ibrahim or whatever the fuck his stupid name is should never have been granted entry, let alone allowed to prowl parks and the woods looking for schoolgirls to rape and murder. That happened and the fault lies in whoever let him in and whoever didn’t ensure he was babysat while we figured out his deal.
