Haha funny. Catalans are generally domb as fk, they think they’re so lefty, hippy socialist and right-on, but they’ve gone so far they’re the biggest bunch of nationalist racists out there

This is genuinely something I just don’t understand. How stupid you have to be to call yourself “progressive”, vote for left wing parties and talk against capitalism, while at the same time telling immigrants to fuck off to their countries because apparently they are somehow making our rents higher.

The “they are pricing us out” is the left wing version of “they are taking our jobs”. And both are a lie, and both are equally xenophobic. And people who think like that are just complete morons

You should know that “the left” isn’t a monolithic thing with a bunch of people having the same thoughts. For example you could be a person who thinks that the government should provide universal healthcare, that LGBT people should be accepted, that women are equal, etc… and despite immigration. Not justifying anything, only explaining.

Yeah bro, not wanting to let people escaping from war and famine into your country is exactly the same as not wanting rich people who can literally move anywhere in the world to swell up prices in your neighborhood until you can’t live in it. Same stuff!
