    Here come the fascists…

    Asylum isn’t some fancy, it’s to help people in need when we have plenty to share.

    Maybe us Swiss could use more people with a heart instead of miserable and cruel bastards like you.

      My parents were married when I was conceived, making me decidedly not a bastard. And the times when europe had ‘plenty to share’ are long over.

        Ummmm. Have you been around Europe lately?

        There’s a huge amount to share. It’s astonishing really just how much money is here.

        I feel the real gripe should be with the lack of taxation of the rich, resulting in the poor not having enough to share.

        Those same rich are telling you that you don’t have enough to share and to get angry at foreigners instead of themselves, misdirecting your anger.

        Americans found it in their heart to have “plenty to share” to help Europe rebuild after the war even after being involved in the same war themselves. Most Europeans learned the moral lesson of that, but it seems you missed that memo.

            Sounds like you should do some reading on how hard-fought the Marshall plan was.

          The US in turn received major influence in europe and has since massively benefitted from that. We stand to gain nothing like that.

            We stand to gain nothing like that.

            I guess you missed the massive gains from years of colonialism and ongoing resource drain from these countries. Now that refugees demand asylum from the ongoing wars, climate crisis and economic disaster which we left them in, Europe has ‘nothing more to give’ according to you. Ego centric hypocrisy.
