It's hard to imagine anything more vain than thinking immigration politics don't affect societies or media consumers. Immigration politics are among the most important issues to voters in certain western countries for very good reasons. These issues are extremely economically impactful, massively violent, and extremely exploitative to all working class people across the globe.

i'm not in mediterranian, nor in italy, nor greece, nor any other part of europe or north africa. this situation is a tragedy, but outside of online virtue signaling my opinion is meaningless since i have no connection to those going through it and no ability to impact the greek or italian governments.

The fates of poor migrants anywhere in the world are far more determined by the US and the northern EU countries than any of the southern EU countries.

"immigration politics don't affect societies"

If you think that, I'd disagree with you.

Why would you think he or she thinks that, if the full quote is this:

"It's hard to imagine anything more vain than thinking immigration politics don't affect societies "

Why would the poster think that I think that?

Because you wrote it?

I wrote the articles are vanity.

"Apples are vain."

The poster wrote thinking that immigration politics doesn't affect societies is vain.

"Oranges are vain."

"Because you wrote it?"

You (?) "Apples and Oranges are the same"
