    This began as a refugee crisis caused by the Syrian war and hasn't stopped since. Tens of thousands did migrate illegally or claim refugee status, this caused a massive reaction and the popularity of the far right in europe that we see today stems from it as the primary starting point.

    It only took 30,000 or so to cause this, and it is also the primary driving force of Brexit.

    With that information in mind, imagine what millions will cause as climate change really starts to make things bad.

      And people ask me why I am so agony-deep about climate change when everyone else is like "I guess I'll move to Canada"

          The only non-socialist people who appreciate the human component of climate change are fascists who agree that there's a problem but their solution is genocide.

          Again, agony-deep

      There were seven million refugees living within the EU in 2021. The Syrian refugee crisis in 2015 alone was 1.5 million people.

        I'm talking about Britain specifically in relation to being a major cause of Brexit. But saying 30,000 is fairly relevant to most european countries as a rough figure except Germany. Or was, it's a little higher now maybe 40 to 50 is a better generalisation.

          it also helps distract from the far more numerous white child rape gangs that sit in their parliaments and corporate boards...

      What gives me hope is knowing that the third world is not helpless. In the past I was a big climate doomer, but I think more and more we will see third world countries become able to cope with climate change, at least to the extent that Europeans won't be able to enact their wet dream of a total world genocide.
