Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Picture is fake but the truth is just as sad:




The Greek government has secretly expelled more than 1,000 refugees from Europe’s borders in recent months, sailing many of them to the edge of Greek territorial waters and then abandoning them in inflatable and sometimes overburdened life rafts.

Since March, at least 1,072 asylum seekers have been dropped at sea by Greek officials in at least 31 separate expulsions, according to an analysis of evidence by The New York Times from three independent watchdogs, two academic researchers and the Turkish Coast Guard. The Times interviewed survivors from five of those episodes and reviewed photographic or video evidence from all 31.

Your dreams
I hope you all have the same anger for the governments/groups/foreign entities that are involved in making these people refugees in the first place.

Its easy to be self-righteous online but imagine your country or your city/neighborhood being overum by thousands of refugees? They need to be housed/fed/educated/receive mwdical treatment. Its not cheap and its not easy.

Greece isn't expanding, it can only take soany people before life for the citizens become...

The world should focus on holding shytty governments that turn their own citizens into refugees instead of demonizing any country that doesn't want more refugees...

A lightheated reminder:
