Austin Kocher, PhD 🌎

It never ceases to disappoint me how much of the immigration debate is obsessed with how to prevent people from moving and so little attention on how to build a better world that doesn’t harm people and displace people at such a massive rate. Perspective matters.

@austinkocher Building a better world holds no (or only small) potential for financial gain.

@austinkocher agree. Solve the real problem and not just treat the symptom...

@austinkocher I always thought it would be fun to stop killing people in the Middle East, either directly or via the sale of weapons, thus creating fewer refugees.

Probably a silly idea…

@austinkocher this is sensible, and much migration arises from wars and injustices that western governments fuel. Their right wing hate aside, the development of safe zones is a political objective of the german AfD. Where are other parties, globally, on this? Blocking migration instead, has become the hot button that hate ideologues leverage for their selfish power grabs, and it solves nothing.
