    It's the same as with drone murders, we've seen a constant march towards more and more all-out barbarism over the last two decades and it's carried by an unquestionable bipartisan consensus. Exterminatory anti-immigration policy is now shaping up to develop in the same way, both in the US and the EU. Liberal policymakers know what kind of migration climate change will inevitably lead to in the next decades, and because they also know they won't do anything about the climate, that means they have completely fallen in line with the fascists on causing mass death at the borders.

      2022, a new European order
      Robot guards patrolling the border
      Cybernetic dogs are getting closer and closer
      Armored cars and immigration officers

      that asian dub foundation song is getting more and more accurate...

        Whoa, I honestly had no idea what the lyrics to Fortress Europe were beyond, "Keeping banging on the walls...of FOR-TRESS EUROPE!" because that's probably all I could make out while playing Need for Speed: Underground as a kid.

        We got a right, know the situation
        We're the children of globalization
        No borders, only true connection
        Light the fuse of the insurrection
        This generation has no nation
        Grass roots pressure the only solution
        We're sitting tight
        'Cause asylum is a right

        [...]

        They got a right, listen not to the scaremonger
        Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger
        From where to what to when to here to there
        People caught up in red tape nightmare

        Break out of the detention centers
        Cut the wires and tear up the vouchers
        People get ready it's time to wake up
        Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe

          yeah, song's from 2003 but it could be from pretty much any time...
