Remember all those migrants Sweden "welcomed with open arms"?

  1. Apparently now, Swedish government is offering to pay them $34,000 each to leave Sweden. (Saw it on Bloomberg TV.) Not clear if it's "34K/person"... including kids. Does that mean a muslim man with 2 wives and 6 kids could get 9x $34,000 to leave?? Rod Serling would be proud of this episode.

    Please.. make it make sense.

    Idiot European rich bastards wanted cheap labor and didn't care about their own national identity.
    Rich bastards the world over should be tattooed with a commie hazard warning label.

    last year more than a million ukrainians moved to canada for 3-4 days to get $3000

    ukraine likely will be empty. I bet most of ukrainians will move to sweden and back every couple of weeks

    They didn’t come to Europe for a better life by choice—most of their countries were devastated, and European civilization played a part in that destruction. So, if we caused it, it's time to pay up. There was a time to throw stones, now it’s time to gather them.

    Give it a little more time, and we'll be kneeling in apology, just like we did to atone for slavery in the U.S.

    Most absolutely came by choice. Vast majority are just economic migrants. Even countries like Iraq are very safe these days yet the people keep on coming. US is leading most of these wars in the Middle East on behalf of Israel, yet somehow it's the "European civilisation" which is to blame.
    The slavery argument is the silliest of all. Nearly all civilisations had slaves, some like the US simply ended it much later. Reparations are just a pathetic attempt to extract money.

    So what exactly are you suggesting? Sending African Americans back to Africa since no one is capturing and enslaving people there anymore?

    Accomplices to crimes are held legally responsible just like the perpetrators themselves.

    The problem isn't just about past slavery but ongoing injustices that continue today. It's convenient for white Europeans to kneel before small groups whom they didn't directly harm, aside from perhaps actions of distant ancestors. Yet they don't acknowledge those they're oppressing right now, or the elders still alive who have experienced occupation and genocide firsthand. Americans don't kneel before Native Americans or Vietnamese. French don't kneel before Laotians. Germans don't kneel before Russians. Until nations recognize their responsibility in genocide and the destruction of states, others may strive to undermine our statehood through legal means. It takes courage to acknowledge these harsh realities and seek true reconciliation.
