You’re living overseas and enjoying life in a new country but then something happens in that country that changes everything. Not talking about war, but maybe a public debate, a new politician on the scene, a recession, or an election. Something that flipped how you see your new home. For better or worse.
For me, living in Malaysia all was going smoothly. An amazing country. But when COVID hit, non-Malaysians really became a target. You had vaccines prioritised for Malaysians and the government using the pandemic as an excuse to round up illegal migrants to deport them. Instilling more fear at a time of fear.
Yep, it’s simpler when you jump off your high horse and walk like everyone else

Based OP.
Cringe soyboy/soygirl OP. I bet they go to pro-Palestinian protests, too.
The illegal immigrants you mean?
Why do you get sent to jail for theft but not for illegal immigration?
Personally, if someone is stealing to feed themselves or feed their kids, I got no problem with that. And if say, someone is fleeing death or persecution, and hoping for safe refuge in another country, I got no problem with that either. Ideally I’d expect my government to create the conditions where these actions weren’t necessary for survival. This probably makes me a do-gooder. Or empathetic.
I have a problem if they are stealing for their kids. The law does, too.
Well my guy, I’d personally die for my kid. So stealing a bag of chips or carton of milk for them doesn’t seem like a big deal
