immigration video provoked an interesting comment

This video provoked a really interesting comment that I'm reposting here. The comment I'm quoting is itself a repost of a comment made at a place called Sanity4Sweden (edited):

Shared from a comment on Sanity4Sweden:

''I bought a bird feeder and hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week, I had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then, the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the shit. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table—everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive-bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder, and in three days, the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was the way it used to be, quiet and serene, with no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now, let's see. The UK gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education, then the illegals come by the tens of thousands. Suddenly, your taxes go up to pay for 'free' services; small flats are now housing five families.

You have to wait about 6 hours to be seen by an emergency-room doctor. Your child's primary-grade class is behind other schools because over half the class does not speak your language. People are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for your government to take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not, just continue cleaning up the shit!''

Overcrowding breeds criminality... fact!

I find the bird-feeder analogy instructive. But will leftists heed it? Doubtful.

ADDENDUM: one person hilariously replied to this analogy:

You could have had a bit of fun and shot the birds. Then you are not passing on the problem to someone else.

Shooting, eh? Sounds like an American. But it doesn't have to be a matter of "passing the problem on to someone else." The birds could simply go back to where they came from.

  1. That's a great analogy. Why are the elites purposely destroying civil society? There's something going on here...
