    No I want you to realize your view point on borders is directly based from a hoarders mentality.

    Specifically that that the current migration crisises are generally direct results of northern and western imperialism. Every time I hear a European complain about migrants, all I think is that your grandparents shouldn’t have fucking colonized their country, then maybe they wouldn’t be there.

    And don’t get me started on the US, fuck the US.
