It didn’t get much press but the US no longer works with the UN agencies on refugees. There’s no substantial way to increase those numbers without the international community. It’s essentially a personal insult intended for anyone who would try to help someone displaced by war or violence.
We now have a basically “whites-only” refugee program. How did racism win?
Because for some reason everyone always collectively agrees that it’s absolutely unacceptable to ever punish racists. Didn’t happen for the Confederacy, or for the lynchers, or the anti civil rights adults who attacked children for simply attempting to attend school, not the actual Nazis or the American Nazi party nor it’s predecessor (look that one up). Everyone collectively agrees we must punish everyday people for everyday crimes but never ever can we even consider punishment for the richest and most powerful commiting the most heinous crimes at national or even global scale…no that would be too “cruel”, so we must allow them to fester and destroy every bit of progress our species ever makes no matter how many millions of us had to die for that centimeter of progress.
Sounds like the US needs something like a “guillotine phase” in its national history and collective consciousness to address this.
Guillotines would be too little too late imo. Scaphism maybe.
Personally, I think we should keelhaul the rich.
But Grok explained to me why that’s actually fine. /s
