Perhaps a person who shows disdain for migrants in this life will be reborn as a poor, Black migrant in a country like Ireland or Germany in the next. Could that be possible?
It's said that we choose to come to this world to learn and grow, with each life offering a new opportunity to master the lessons we failed to learn before.
I don't show any disdain for migrants. I simply express opposition to mass migration, because it is harmful. Interesting how you seem to equate being black with being poor and being a victim by the way. Interesting too how you capitalise the word "black", which, while being very politically correct, happens to be gramatically incorrect, no matter how many news outlets are doing it nowadays.

That was just a philosophical exercise.
I don't equate all Black people as poor, just created that imaginary specific case.
Thank you for your reply, but after this malicious distortion of my words, I'll no longer engage in conversation.

I'm still talking about politicians.
they are all bullies and trolls with the only interest to enter into fights, like f*cking teenagers with too much testosterone who don't get laid.
Remember, these trolls will continuously find a way to distort every single word written and turn it into food for a fight.
So, like @Zea said:
d-o-n-t -- f-e-e-d -- t-h-e -- t-r-o-l-l-s.
They already have distorted enough narratives to create fake stories, like the claim of AI being autonomous and generative.
We are feeling those repetitive “conversations” going nowhere. It's
the waiting, the dread of the unseen, is more unbearable than the thing itself.
It seems they (the trolls and bullies) just can't stop it.

I agree, we are going nowhere with these discussions.

I wouldn't mind at all. But the German government doesn't deport anyone.
Funny to see someone as woke as yourself using homophobic language. I see your comment also got a like.

You "literally cannot go back to Ireland because of the severe shortage of housing", but you wouldn't mind at all to be sent back to that same country.
You're so full of s**t that the toilet is jealous.

The concept of wokeness is as 'foreign' to Turkey as Hinduism to Eskimos. Being an underdeveloped, undemocratic third world country, you can use the 'N word' with abandon or abuse migrants to your heart's content over here and nobody gives a shit (or rather the voices of those who give a shit are never heard). I'm telling you lad, you'll love it here! And my offer of free accommodation still stands.
Gerard Barry wrote:
using homophobic language
Since when calling someone gay (who called himself gay) is 'using homophobic language'? It's funny how you resort to wokeness when cornered or it suits you. Mind you, I never made any judgments about you and asked why you were gay.

You should be grateful then, instead of whinging about your host country's and its neighbours' immigration policies.

Don't forget the bloody Turkish barbers there. They're out to get him once he steps foot in Ireland.
I think that's why he sought asylum in Germany in the first place.

You find my views despicable because you're obviously very "woke" and perhaps live in a bubble where most people think the same way you do. My views aren't actually that extreme and I certainly don't deliberately wind people up.
That's great that you lived on a street with lots of Chinese, Poles and Indians. Did you ever have a discussion with them about immigration, racism, etc.? Because if you did you'd find that they're mostly very patriotic and in some cases, quite racist folk themselves.
Ah, I didn’t realise you knew all my neighbours and all of their countrymen and countrywomen.
Do I need to hang a St George flag to keep their hands off my daughters?
And you’re right about the famously woke bubble of South Wales.
That must be why I don’t support people being sent home to be raped and tortured.
I thought it was because I was a decent, kind person, but turns out I’ve just been brainwashed into it.
Could you ask your mates Nigel and Tommy to organise an intervention?

It's complicated. But if i was deported, then I guess my family would have to take me in.

I don't read much about politics, but when Trump was elected for the first time, I thought it was a joke played by people who thought it would be funny if they intentionally voted for him without really thinking about the consequences.
Maybe that's why he wasn't elected for the second term, but he's back again.
