xenophobic rich cowards behind fences - UNITE!

September is Suicide Prevention Month

In a Nutshell Europe and the Western World are xenophobic rich cowards behind fences - or at least that's how the proper Englishman doing the voice over and Kurzgesagt.org see the situation. And I hear their argument - They think 4 million+ Syrian refugees emigrating to Europe is no big deal, well actually they're more enthusiastic and claim that it's all upside for the volk if only they'd get their minds right. It's not surprising that "a team of designers, journalists and musicians who want to make science look beautiful" should be so star-eyed and blissfully oblivious to the realities of bumping the Islamic population of Europe from 4% to 5% in less than one year. I don't know if there's a Hundredth Monkey Effect at play here, but I know that %5 of a population in any democracy is a tipping point that can cause incalculable trouble for that other 95% of the citizens.

That's why the Syrian refugees are going to be sent packing - back to Syria regardless of how many dead children wash up on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. And though I appreciate the design and simplicity of the videos that Kurzgesagt create (check out their Dark Matter "explanation") I see their refugee drivel as symptomatic of Germany's castration in the wake of WW2 atrocities. The self loathing of Germany's Avant-Garde knows no bounds and if they're allowed to commit cultural suicide, they'll do it. We've taken away their guns and most of the other conventional tools of self-destruction, but will it be enough...
