Is it ever easy to criticise refugees? That's a strange thing to say...

It's easy to support refugees, until you see them harassing women and beating up gay people in your own country.

The courage to run away to a European welfare state and live as a burden to others. Courage would be to stay/fix country

*its easy to criticise me until you witness my courage. Perhaps subconsciously what's going on here

and after half of your family died bc you wanted to stay and fight, that'd be most courageous, right?

You send your defenseless to Europe for temporary assylum, maybe you're justified. They sent mostly men.

Criticism (as in negativity rather than critique) is always a failure of empathy, in the *critic*.

that's a ridiculous right-wing generalization and false. Most refugees are good people

The majority of those left behind? Women, children, sick, elderly.

Real refugees don't cross safe countries to get to the EU. Majority are nothing but economic migrants.

These refugees where born in countries where treating women and gays like garbage is normal. No thanks.

They are creating civil war where they go.
