sensible means accepting that there are many shades of white, black and gray. Sensible means people being prepared to make trade offs for greater good. Sensible means not name calling when people have an alternative perspective. Sensible means being able to sort out whether differences exist because of different objectives or means of getting there (outcomes versus means). Sensible means having the capacity to work towards shared outcomes

while the post sounds good and noble we have too many people in left, right and centre who are unable to step to the other side and since ruling parties are almost always in power because they are able to appeal to particular sectarian views and there is low incentive to try alternatives.

as to migration. I don’t think it’s fair of “other”. I think it’s about a perception of safety. However there have been multiple studies that show variously no correlation between crime and immigration and in fact that in general immigration benefits an economy.

so what is perceived as immigration related is more likely about population density and poverty.

btw migration could stop if borders were slammed shut and people stopped caring about humanitarian goals and didn’t heee migrants to fuel the labour force . That’s a real possibility. Not necessarily right but a possibility.

incorrect. I decided you weren't worth the hassle to communicate with as you turn suddenly from intelligent interlocutor to savage attacks.

not interested in such absurdities.

slamming borders shut only creates the incentive for migrants to find other ways to enter a country. its stu-id, myopic reasoning.
