Why are European women so welcoming to refugees and migrants?

ex-cathedra · 2016-03-22T18:12:32+00:00

Because of something highly deteriorating known as tolerance.

Childish naïvity. It is easy to give away what you haven't made/built yourself.

Some are, some are very strictly against.

But of the common trends:

Community, wanting to belong to the mainstream narrative of what is considered good and moral, signalling that and expecting it from rest.
Related, there is the "we are European, we are good and tolerant and civil (and thus more advanced than the rest), if we act differently, that would be backwater regression, step to things we've already advanced out of" - smugness. That is core part of their ideology and they can hardly see nobleness in standing your ground firmly. Also, it would be horrendous if European country would back out from an UN deal about refugees! How selfish we would look like to the rest of the world, our image would be ruined! Ruined! The horrors!
And worse, we might awake the horrendous beast whose shadow lurks within us, the naaaazziiis, and that would bring the end of us, the world and everything good! Oh the shame. It will surely soon go exactly as horribly as in 30's if we do anything that someone might interpret as strict, no, never again!
Unless it is of course against someone of their own, but an enemy from outside, that is unheard of, they must have something done to them by the west, poor sods, it is our fault that you attack us!
Naivete and trust in goodwill of the most. Those who come from well of backgrounds (and who are most vocal in discussions) hardly ever meet people outside their class, and thus never have anecdotes of trouble. So based on their experience, they think things are exaggerated. And the troublemakers are mainly from lower classes that live in different regions, so far.
Inability to process choices where there are no one clear cut right answer, rather refuse to choose than make a hard choice.
Dislike for such topics. Why think these when you have to read much, all answers are debated with nasty words, there are no clearcut solutions and overall participation in discourse wins nothing and just stresses a lot. Rather focus on the feelgoody things, or easier topics, and then do and say the right things (observed from community).
Processing things on individual level on the very moment rather than as phenomena that affects societies for decades to come. First is emotional and emphatizable, latter comes from cold logic.
Focus on caring, providing and soft values, rather than finding solutions. Especially for our ingroup - it is rather fashionable to think against ingrour-outgroup dynamics, there is no them, only us! So you symphatize as much with someone 2000km away as your neighbourgs, spit on nation states, dream of eco-villages, city-states or world-village, but nations or our own heritage? noo!
Belief that we are in good times, where (federal) state can solve everything and it is just about lobbying the state to provide, rather than being on hard times where we have to pull up together to keep the crucials of the state up and running.
Decades of peace. People cannot fathom the motivations of someone coming from different mindset and what it takes to control them. We hardly ever had to use power. The police, press and political parties are and were trusted for a reason, so the thought of having to take law on your own hands or provide your own security has been unthought of outside far countryside where the cops are hours away.
Naive optimism. Everything can be solved, we are capable, intelligent, humane (and so are rest), so if we just agree on things, trust on good will, surely we can find a solution where everyone is happy and no-one needs to do greedy or nasty things.
Postmodernism, relativism and individualism. Swamp of of narratives and perspectives. Everything is so multifacted and nuanced that it is hard to know right from wrong and stand firmly on it. Religions as guidelines are thing of past, but few have read enough to truly have proper ground to form a cohesive view.
Belief that we are progressing (with feminism and other beliefs stated above). Hey, we are solving the world! People get to move like the money and the products. So just! And think about the climate refugees to come, better be prepared already and get used to it. And we use so much resources anyway, good that the west perishes, such a source of all things bad and evil. At least this fixes the priviledge issue, if west ends like shit then you can't say we're more priviledged as we'll have same problems as some shithole of a country, what a relief, we'll be equal!

So the daily feefees win. Be good even if it is hard. Be emphathetic. See the good and potential in others. Undestand. They wouldn't lie or do bad things if they wouldn't have to or if the aren't hurt. Fight the evil oppressors. Provide help. Be civil. Be European. We are rich, so we have money to help those in need, no need to discuss numbers, that would be tacky and cold. Humans are more than numbers, each of them is an individual worth of love, care and trust. If someone is bad, it is just one rare exception, and he is just from poor background, oppressed, hurt or doesn't know better, let's teach and help and hug to fix it all.

For most women and civilians, that does not involve standing your ground, being astute, vigilant, strong, intelligent, decisive, capable, seeing through bullshit and making the right judgements based on moral values and acting strictly upon them.

Unless someone has experience in her circles, or is not "right kind of white", I mean someone outside the current consensus. It is just the vocal percentage that gets heard most that is lost. There are lots of good sane women here. Just wait.

Because they are fed and believe the bp nonsense notion that everyone is kind and loving as long as you respect them unconditionally. Or some shit like that.

ddiogenesofsinope · 2016-03-22T22:04:20+00:00

UK here. Short answer is Political correctness. Long answer is Nazism.

People are absolutely terrified that if they reject foreigners over their own citizens, it will be the first step on a slippery slope to another Holocaust. I'm not kidding. People are terrified of being perceived as openly racist, because that went so well last time.

You have to remember Europe doesn't have a particularly good track record of being cooperative. Since 1945, it's been the longest period of perpetual European peace for centuries. Bar the Balkans in the 90s (but they're not really European). That's why so many fearing a break up of the EU. Out of fear of a return to perpetual war.

Fucktard liberalism makes you stupid.

2016-03-22T19:33:25+00:00

Women follow whatever the current Zeitgeist is.

If "everyone" believed the sky was green they'd believe it too. The MSM and political discourse is tolerance, multiculturalism, feminism and collectivism.

When the narrative changes, so will they. Or rather they will then talk about it.

Spidertech500 · 2016-03-22T20:49:00+00:00

Shit test. Either weak EU men rise to the occasion and fight them off and act like men again, or they get replaced by better men. ITs a win either way for them

medik13 · 2016-03-22T23:54:21+00:00

it's mainly to portray themselves as humanitarians and turn the trickle down attention into how much of a good person they are.

Blaat1985 · 2016-03-22T20:21:52+00:00

It's actually only a very small minority that welcomes them. Most fear the refugees.

MrRoxo · 2016-03-22T18:32:55+00:00

I dont know a single woman that welcomes refugees where im from. No one wants them here actually.

TRParents · 2016-03-22T19:21:55+00:00

They will continue to be provided for if Muslims take over and will have successfully branch swung to the more virile group of men

mbillion · 2016-03-22T19:58:22+00:00

They are not. For years the europeans have railed on the US for being racists and xenophobes and now its happening to them they are being just as racist and exenophobic

Whiteouter · 2016-03-22T20:41:25+00:00

Many of the younger ones aren't, atleast not anymore.

TheDonald2k16 · 2016-03-22T18:55:40+00:00

The jews who run the media there are the ones pushing "diversity/multiculturalism = good" onto the masses. There is also state-run media in Europe well that only adds to the fire.

2016-03-22T20:49:18+00:00

where do you see this?

PantsonFire1234 · 2016-03-22T22:47:09+00:00

Because dumb ass womans. That's why.
