@KeithDJohnson I usually share here a few days after a strip goes up on DK, but I've been a little casual about posting to social media over the holidays.
Funny how progressives in the US look at Europe with their single payer healthcare, social safety net, paid family leave, et cetera, and wish we were more like them. Meanwhile neoliberals and right wingers in Europe look at how we in the US let people die homeless on the streets or from lack of health care so that oligarchs can pay less in taxes and wish they could be more like us. We are *not* a good example to the world.
There have always been those who want to watch the world burn. Problem is, we never associate those people with the people in your comic.
And as your comic shows. That's exactly what those people want. To isolate white people into countries that kick everyone else out and slowly die because of it. To trap white people in countries in which the worst decisions ever made are painted as the best.
And while said white people are suffering beyond belief. Those are the same people who would then suggest going somewhere else and taking over other people's countries.
If anyone reading this doesn't believe me. Look at both american and british history. Where white people basically destroyed their own countries then went to others to do the same because they destroyed their own.
I meet many people who don't like immigrants from south of the border. They claim they are somehow different from previous, historical groups of immigrants. I myself welcome diversity.
("I like white people", "I like diversity") Why are these two choices not equally valid?
I have visited cultures and countries I would not welcome. How is that different or wrong?
I don't see a clear correct side that is not supported by mostly dogma. Is there one?
I've been saying this for years. If you oppose immigration from Third World countries and support none of the programs, policies and amenities mentioned in this cartoon, don't say your opposition to Third World immigration is based on "European cultural values," because it isn't. Thank you!

Ofc that wasn't happening
