Though worth noting that the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe is not unrelated to American military adventurism in the Middle East making problems for everyone

The Syrian refugee crisis was only a crisis because Europeans didn't react "hey we are going t get lots of new citizens to supplement our economies" instead of "we are being invaded - abandon liberalism" ... which goes back to the internet

There is a timeline where countries respond to natural decrease in population growth by causing crisis in neighboring countries to trigger mass migrations ... and I don't know if it is a darker timeline or not

Convenient that Russia both stoked the migration, & the backlash to it, isn't it?

It’s just the internet. Smart people spend their entire lives being rewarded for attaching dramatically and politically rewarding narratives to history so it’s not surprising to me that we all want to make it a product of US liberalism’s biggest bugaboos but that’s not how the real world works

It’s high-tier truthiness for educated progressives. Many such cases. We all want to live in the apotheosis of all our past correctness
