I witnessed some other fun shit that weekend as well
like someone in a MLP gilda suit being literally dragged off by 5 kids down the hall while the gilda costumer looked around confused and startled as the kids were screaming excitedly.
i was also walking around a bit in my kigurumi/onesie of prat and a group of syrian women and their kids stopped me to take a photo with the kids who were LOSING THEIR MINDS AND SCREAMING, unable to stand still for the photo, one was behind me the whole time stomping on the tail of my kigu
basically all weekend the kids ran around like it was goddamn disneyland until as late as midnight and the mothers hung about like “8DD?!?” not sure how to make of the situation but laughing to eachother over it.
I can only fathom what it’s like to flee the besieged suburbs of aleppo, spend a year in a turkish refugee camp, then be shipped over to cold, rainy ass Vancouver Canada only to encounter a sort of celebration with costumed idiots at the airport hotel you are checked into on arrival.
Certainly a WELCOME TO THE WEST culture shock, if anything.
Like the rest of the internet, I love lol furries jokes, but this is honestly super fucking adorable and heartwarming, and I’m glad people were nice for the kids, because they definitely need it
@inquisitivefeminist There are many reasons why you need this thread in your life.
Meanwhile, on this goddamn continent:
“Go back to your war-torn country and shoot some brown people, that’s what I fantasize about every day and you could get to live the dream you’re so lucky!”
“So the reason they’re coming here is that they are less likely to die in Europe than in Aleppo? So if we make Europe just as violent and dangerous as Aleppo, they won’t come here, right? Because that sounds like such a brilliant plan and it’s not like this continent has a track record of nationalism going horribly wrong every time it’s tried or anything like that.”
“Our national pride is how we once accommodated over ten percent of our population in refugees; people of a different religion and speaking in a strange language, women wearing scarves on their heads, into a country that was extremely poor by modern standards, and in which people’s livelihoods strongly depended on the zero-sum distribution of land. But now our modern, prosperous society will collapse into ruin if one tenth of that amount arrives because this time they’re brown instead of white.”
“Okay, we’ll grudgingly let you in, but we won’t let you work. If you acquire a permission to work, we won’t let anyone hire you because nobody may be hired below the union rates and our taxes make it too costly for employers to hire low-skilled people. If you manage to get hired against all the odds, we’ll blame you for stealing our jobs. If you don’t, we’ll blame you for stealing our welfare. Have fun trying to survive the odds we’ve stacked against you!”
