That quote goes hard. But it’s horrible that it needs to be said.
Moved and disturbed is such a great way to explain the complex emotions around refugee camps. It’s so fantastic that organisations and individuals are helping people rebuild and have safe places to go, and there are still good people doing good things amongst all the evil. But the fact they exist and become permanent fixtures and resources is heartbreaking and a failure of other countries and international bodies.
(I feel similarly about a lot of charity things. Especially food banks. Great people are helping others, appalling they need to exist in countries with welfare systems)
Important to note that the screenshot at the very beginning is from a website created by the DoW called “aliens dot gov.” The Trump admin (and Peter Thiel) have been co-opting the UAP thing to try and get those who are interested in the subject on their side, all the while steering the conversation towards an idea of UFOs being demonic in nature, and that UFOs are actually more related to religion than sci-fi. The website is racist as shit, and just leads you to a heat map of ICE arrests, all the while likening immigrants in the US to an “alien” invasion. Not saying UFOs and aliens are real necessarily, but the interest in the subject from the right is real.
The Arsenal foundation does a great job in the Zaatari refugee camp. Every year, two famous Arsenal
Podcasts donate their monthly income and wages to the foundation that donates all the proceedings to this camp.
