I've been hearing a lot of people talking about "terrorism", the refugees", and what "we" should be doing about it, but it's all recycled bullshit the media is feeding them. The amerikkkans have been talking about keeping the same violence as what has been committed in France from reaching the u.s., without acknowledging that the people in the Middle East have been experiencing western sponsored murder and oppression for decades. The refugees fleeing from western terror are not trying to get to the west to do more of the same, but to get away from it. Of course civilians in France did not deserve to get killed. But neither do people living in Syria, who are in basic survival mode, just trying to not get killed by western airstrikes, assad and his army, or isis. I like the point of orientation written here . It gets to the heart of what's going on.
