It happens for sure. Being seen as “fighting oppression” seems to be so trendy amongst young people. Of course they wouldn’t go to a middle eastern country and fight for women’s rights or go to Africa or Asia and fight against slavery/sex trafficking. Another good illustration of this where the people asking the “refugees welcome” people if they would sign a paper to take in refugees in their home. All this to say being seen as fighting oppression or standing up for those perceived to be oppressed is super trendy
Always has. The entire 60s was a bunch of people pretending that pot and sex was "fighting oppression" and they were superheroes for doing it.
Same with all the race riots of the 90s, where black guys thought destroying random businesses and killing anyone they could would "somehow" un-beat Rodney King.
True
They're not asking anyone to take refugees into their home. They are asking people to have refugees as their neighbors. I think what we should say is, unless the person lives in a multi-culti hellhole, "why do you live near citizens if you assert that refugees make things so great?"
Oh ok. I thought the people were asking them to sign a form saying they would take refugees in. It was a joke to prove a point since they all said no.
I meant the "refugees welcome" sign people are asking other people to have refugees as neighbors, rather than housemates. So I think it's better if the response reflects that. A lot of people would say that they welcome refugees, but they wouldn't live next to them (IRL when they actually have to make a decision where to put their kids.)
Oh. Thats very true.
Exactly. One of the funniest examples was when someone asked a blm supporter why they don’t go protest the violence in inner city Chicago and their response was “it’s too dangerous”
That's actually the irony. Libs for the most part will complain about problems.abroad but not do anything about them. Then weirdly born agains from here will completely slip over domestic poverty and hunger and jump on a plane to Guatemala or something and build a field hospital for brown people. Because apparently helping disenfranchised white people in Appalachia isnt trendy enough.
They have mentioned this at my church. While it’s noble to help all people in need as Christ commands, we shouldn’t forget those down the street from us. We work a lot with the local elementary school, food kitchen, pregnancy center (helping mothers who keep their babies), etc. But yes, we can’t be going across the world while ignoring our own community. I don’t see anything wrong with helping people in other parts of the world but those in need down the street are often ignored. I know I could do more
