Sure everyone wants their own personal castle.

I just think people can just have some slightly less nice things, maybe instead of buying a f150 truck get a small utility vehicle, stuff like that.

How to tell me you're a dumb american that doesn't know Europe without telling me you're a dumb american that doesn't know Europe.

I am a South African who recently ran away to the Netherlands to avoid constant load shedding and rich with sollar panels.

I think you have a big image of how people in rixh countries live. Most people dont live in big houses, most people dont own trucks. Sure the average person has more things than an averga person in a poor country, but the average person is not going to sacrifice their small luxuries, so people from poor countries come to live with them, especially if the people coming dont have studies and are just going to be living frol the government's money.

I'm in no way saying the average person should have to sacrifice anything, the problem is that is exactly what your currently being force to do by the people above you.

Just think of how many people could literally be housed for life with the money spent on Jeffs latest yacht he sailed out of Amsterdam.

Where talking orders of magnitude difference between the average person and the rich never mind those who are desperately trying to escape.

And maybe you can let some homeless person sleep under your roof. Solidarity right? Help everyone who has less than you.

What religion are you a member of?

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The religion of agnostic.

But like I said in my other reply, have a great day. I'm going to do something productive and pull weeds from the yard and never speak to you again. Take care!

The religion of agnostic.
