Perhaps some will think me cruel, but I just do not care if they're needy
I mean... look at what you are saying. You know people need help, and you refuse to give that help.
You can send me statistics, but my lived reality is in complete contradiction.
No it's not a contradiction, in fact your post here is in complete accordance with the material reality of the world. You are just looking at "A" and instead of saying "it's A therefore we shall act like it A" you say "it's B therefore we should act like it's B", when in reality acting like its "B" is the reason why it's "A" in the first place.
People need a better understanding. That's what I mean when I say "we need to politicize". Because it's easy to see a situation of insecurity or an illegal act by a "migrant" and create a relationship of causality between the two. It's a human bias.
But leftism is about understanding our reality and going OVER our own biases.
- It's understanding why people from the global south are coming in Europe
- It's understanding our responsibility in their situation
- It's understanding how poverty works
- It's understanding the system that creates isolation and the precarization of these people
- It's understanding that the imperialist system is marginalizing them on PURPOSE just like our institutions are marginalizing people like me.
- It's understanding that racialized people "playing by the book to be an example" is not a feature of good integration but a feature of colonization, racialization and white supremacy.
- It's understanding that if your first reflex when you see people - you know are "needy" - steal food, is to blame their integration and migration, there is a more potent problem at play.
And most of all
- It's understanding that the system directed at them,
is just waiting for you to get rid of those people to direct its gun toward YOU.
So yeah.. It IS our responsibility to help them because we DESTROYED them FIRST and because helping them mean helping OURSELVES.
People don't migrate out of luxury without paper, they do it because it's a question of survival, and yeah. There is a harsh reality in the fact that scarity, poverty, marginalization, push people toward more and more and more dangerous behaviors, toward thieving and toward crime. The exceptions that manage to escape that paradigm are held as example to blame the other. In other words, they are not really escaping racism, they are used as tools to dehumanize the others.
You wanna beat insecurity? Ok. Help us create a society where people are not marginalized anymore. This mean creating spaces for these people to be treated with respect because they won't stop coming just because you put a wall. We destroyed them and it's time to pay the due.
Don't fall for the biases, don't fall for the easy solutions
.. or the system will use the weapons that destroyed them to destroy you.
Remember this:
Fascism is colonialism turned inward
Imagine calling Macron a fascist
Wait
Yeah he's basically a modern day Mussolini without the Militarism
Move along
A government is more than just one man. And what you see from what person can sometimes be completely different from the reality of their actuel impact.
Macron is is a phase of fascization, some of its governement is already there. You probably don't see it because you are not impacted, but I'm, and others are too, in fact much more than me. People living in CRA, people who risk being arrested from protesting a genocide, people being tracked through surveillance, people being politically repressed.
Perhaps you don't see that. But it's already here
and its not just Macron.
> In the last 4 years, 12 people have been murdered by far right individuals because of racist and fascist ideologies.
> 56 people have been killed by the far right against 6 by the far left since 1986
> The president of the assemblee AND the senate refused an hommage to be rendered for for Aboubakar Cissé, killed in a mosque, stabbed 57 times by a far rightist because he was muslim.
Yet..
This is what the assemble did for a LITERAL NAZI
(The guy was part of literal and non exagerated Neo-Nazi rallies and organizations)
So yeah, fascism is already here in France.
