@andersostlund Youth unemployment in many European countries is between 20 and 50%. Higher in some. Regular unemployment not much better. -
@andersostlund It's not a population problem, it's an economic policy problem. -
@Ayei_Eloheichem Exactly. It is the economic policy problem so let's not say refugees add to that problem. -
@andersostlund Look, I'm on board that the Syrian refugees need to be cared for. But they make up less than half of the asylum seekers. -
@andersostlund And to bring these people into welfare states is only going to destroy those states further. -
@andersostlund And cultural issues are a big deal, much though they're played down or painted as "racist." -
@andersostlund To dismiss either economic, cultural, or security concerns isn't "beside the point." These are not just "far-right" concerns. -
@andersostlund The far-right needs to be prevented from taking power, but centrists need to recognize Islamic radicalism as a real threat. - 1 more reply
