How nice, the West gave him and his family refuge and then proceeds to shit on the same society saying “We made “Europa” as a sort of release from our own fears about the growing xenophobia and racism in Europe”, yeah sounds about right.
God, i hate how the word empathy is abused.
It doesnt have any moral component, it just means you can project your mind in another being’s place.
In fact, in the case of immigration, it can make you more racist.
>In other experiments, people asked to consider the feelings and perspectives of rival groups were more selfish, more intolerant, and judged outsiders more harshly. In a study pairing Mexican immigrants and white Americans, the neuroscientist Emile Bruneau of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that asking lower-status immigrants to take on the perspective of the dominant group tended to lower their opinions of the higher-status whites.
France24 can take them all to their offices.
And you’ve lost touch with reality, dear filmmaker.
(It looks like a cool film though despite me not agreeing with the message!)
> We have lost touch with the concept and the feeling of empathy, which I believe should be at the centre of any society.
Yes it is true that western audiences have been desensitized. Usually those audiences are as dumb as grass, but if you fool them once, fool them twice, fool them <large integer> number of times they change and become desensitized. I doubt the image of dead little Aylan would have the same effect today.
The next step will be for these societies to amend international refugee laws to catch up with the current and future challenges which are going to be continuous. This is probably going to be more fair also for the (potential) immigrants
When your empathy is non stop being exploited you have to learn to suppress it or be a idiot and get exploited even more.
