To be fair, OP did state that this is how it works in failed states.

We have asylum laws that guarantee the right to apply for asylum as an inalienable human right to every person on German soil, regardless how they arrived in the country. Italy has such a law as well.

Yeah, Netanyahu proved his resolve when he fired the Defense minister. Any 'pause' likely won't quell protests has he has shown his hand and that he can't be trusted.

I hope some important government resignations follow the defense minister firing that will force an election.

Tunisia has been found to drive refugees into the Libyan desert and leave them to die there.

It's most certainly not a safe place for non-Tunisian refugees. Non-refoulement principle applies.

Well, there is something to your explanation. Axis is a property of direction. Yes, black holes do occupy space so they are not point like. I was wrong.

I bury those cockroaches!

I probably would, it wouldn't make it okay though. We need laws in a society to keep it civilised and everyone has to follow them, regardless of circumstance.

Depends on perspective. In a way we’re also super significant and should care a lot.

Checks out.

Was Banksy on the ship? Is he out there risking his neck?

No?

Then call it what it is: Banksy's cynical political stunt.

More like “what 60 years of attempted communism does to a dude”.

I'm not arguing either way, i'm telling you what the human traffickers think about it. I don't have an acceptable solution to the problem. But if they weren't extremely cynical people they would do something else in their lives rather than sending people on a literal sinking boat after extorting them and robbing them, you're mistaken if you think they look at a rescue ship as anything else than a way to make their profit margin even bigger.

I saw people arguing why Cubans who left their county opinions and experiences are invalid, and why those Redditors, living comfortably in some first world country, know better.

I even had people telling me that my accounts of growing up in Eastern Europe are skewed by Western propaganda.

For other unrelated reasons.

That way of thinking is extremely cynical. You could use it to argue against any charitable operation that helps victims of crime - and even against any safety mechanism. Doctors are bad because their existence incentivizes people to take risks they might shy away from if there were no doctors. Leaving injured people to die is good because it prevents others from taking unnecessary risk.

Seems likely Banksy is Robin Gunningham. There's a load of posts about it on Reddit and beyond if you do a search. Example below,

Those are the ones intercepted by the libyan coast guard I imagine (I am by no means an expert on this topic, but I live in Malta and it's an issue I try to follow)

In the meantime people are dying in the mediterranean because their rescue ship is seized by italian authorities. Fucked situation
