Why would an open heart liberal have any concern with welcoming refugees?
- kypro 6mo agoDepends where they're coming from I guess. There's basically no where on Earth where people are as liberal as Europe. No liberal would want millions of people coming from Afghanistan, for example.
- miningape 6mo agoWell, I have something to tell you about the last decade+ of EU immigration policy
- stinkbeetle 6mo agoPresumably you mean No True Liberal.
- adrianN 6mo agoPresumably they mean that acceptance of migration is a continuum and the numbers of climate refugees would push a large fraction of people self identifying as liberal to oppose it.
- stinkbeetle 6mo agoThat is not a safe presumption since they made an absolute claim about all liberals.
- hkpack 6mo ago- mgimo finished? - aaaask
- hdgvhicv 6mo agoNumbers. Very few of the most staunch conservatives would turn away one family in need. But when it’s the best part of a billion people - at a rate of 4:1, that’s a different question.
- stinkbeetle 6mo agoWhat makes it a different question? What numbers change that change things? Leaving aside what you hear on the internet, I personally know a few people who say they have no concern welcoming any number of refugees, a couple of them actually to the point of getting quite enraged at people who do have different opinions. So there definitely are some such people in existence.
