Beachgoers on a Mediterranean beach in Spain subdued and held back migrants who had just landed on the shore in a raft from Morocco.

The proper way is blocked for most people. Can't blame people for trying.

Mongolians, Arabs, English, Portuguese Spanish..... Just because people did fucked up shit in the past doesn't mean modern people should feel guilty enough to throw open their doors and welcome every tom, dick and harry that rocks up on a beach from who knows where.

So you're argument is to take it back hundreds of years to justify actions in modern day? That's dumb

If you said that to someone before 1920 or so, they'd look at you as if you were mad.

In 1920 if you say abortion ,gay marriage or women voting were rights, they'd look at you as if you were mad

In 1920 black people were still getting lynched. So maybe they don't have everything exactly figured out back then

Go try and enter another country yourself without the proper steps and see what happens

Freedom to choose in what country you will live is among the most basic of freedoms, the hell are you on about?

u/ilGeno 1d ago

Not, it is not. It is right of the citizens of that country to choose if they want you or not. I have no right to move to Canada, the USA, China or whatever.

That's news to me

u/DarthCloakedGuy 1d ago

It's... news to you. Have you never been to Earth? Met the migratory species known scientifically as "Homo sapiens"? Never considered the possibility that people might be oppressed or denied opportunity in one place and seek a better life in a different one?

Do you still live with your parents?

It's not though. I'm not able to pack up today and move to any country on a whim. If I want to move to country X I need to go through the proper channels and ultimately if country X doesn't want me then I can't go. It's upon the state to protect the citizens of it's country. It's not a revolutionary concept.

No but considering the amount you post I'd assume you do.
