EU leaders are happy to make Greece a refugee camp, this has nothing to do with nationality.https://twitter.com/papicek/status/1012694315964002304 …
No argument there, but "the Germans and the Dutch" aren't politically unidimensional. Fascists across the bloc act as a militant hive mentality, with localized priorities, and we should treat them as such.

No, they're not, yet guess who keeps on winning elections there?

That's a dynamical systems issue, as much as it's a polsci one. Extremist/totalitarian agendas are an easy sell to populations made to feel threatened on a financial/security level. Not to say that I absolve anyone voting for fascists, free will always applies & has consequences.

See? You're more forgiving than I. Patience for anyone who chooses, "I don't care what happens to everyone else, just don't bother me with it" is non-existent here.

I try to be understanding, I'm not as forgiving as I'd like, it's not the same thing. I don't think I can be, as long as historical patterns reasserting themselves are leading to hecatombs and the resurgence of age-old nightmares.

I don't think you can be either, but that's not a bad thing. We both know the horrors that follow.

We can aspire to be, or at least to stay human throughout it, as much as we can. Some people always manage, it's what keeps giving me hope.

"stay human" is exactly right. Perfect. It's the only measure of policy, institution & individual that matters.
