    Thoughtful! I couldn't even finish it, bigotry and hate are powerful ways to control the minds of the easily led and the uneducated, and in the world they are the tools of charlatans. They cause no good and any reading of history should make this clear. This type of thinking is the source of much evil.

    "The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together." Hannah Arendt

    "We first kill people with our minds, before we kill them with weapons. Whatever the conflict, the enemy is always the destroyer. We're on God's side; they're barbaric. We're good, they're evil. War gives us a feeling of moral clarity that we lack at other times." Sam Keen

    Yes, Angela Merkel didn't invite the entire world into Germany. BPS even cites the Dalai Lama saying that the migrants must go back after they're educated. Yet he leaves out the part where Merkel says the same thing. The program she created allows in a certain number of migrants, not unlimited, and eventually they must leave Germany. He also lied about migrant crimes rates, as they're not responsible for half of the crime. He also says that liberal media no longer mentions the Dalai Lama after his politically incorrect comments on migrants, which is obviously not true, as the Dalai Lama is still beloved in the West and was on John Oliver's show only a year after he made those remarks.

    However, if I did make a claim that you don't believe, let me know, and I'll provide proof for that claim.
