News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]

Right, I don't disagree with your point on that one. I would however like to hear your opinion on my aforementioned points, specifically regarding the disparity in violence between 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees and 1 million Syrian refugees. Why is there not an epidemic of rape and sexual assault across Poland right now?

@Lyzko
Yea, and I made sure not to accuse you of such, I was just trying to clarify what I thought was an imprecise thought or language regarding that.

@Lyzko

Right, could you give me some clarity though as to the question I asked? Were you conflating people who disagree with your world view as being Neo-Nazis? I only ask because a recent tactic has been to conflate wanting strict immigration policies with Neo-Nazism, rather than traditional conservatism and wanting to preserve our societies, which seems to be a legitimate position for all countries with non-white majorities. I actually do believe that (at least in America) the left/progressives are ardent racists, as they seek to ascribe more or less value to individuals based on the group they belong to, it is identity politics of the lowest order.

We certainly should fill our labor needs with immigrants when it suits us, however, those immigrants should be highly skilled (H1B visas), and from cultures that share our core values (such as liberal values, women being equal, LGBT rights to exist as they want, religious freedoms, freedom of speech; especially freedom to insult your religious sensibilities).

If these people are not a danger, why then, from 2014-2017 did Poland take 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees, in the same span of time Germany took 1 million Syrian&North African refugees; yet in Poland, no one has driven laury's into crowds of people, no one has blown themselves up at a concert, or gone on a knife stabbing spree? What is the difference? People in Ukraine are dirt poor, I was a resident, and I know first hand how destitute many of them are. If it is not economics, then what is the reason for this disparity in violence? I have an idea, but I'd like to hear yours.
