Man shows that anyone can do simple things to help out refugees - General

shit like that happens all the time, it's predictable. You need to have enough for everyone and keep guard over evenly distributing it.

that comment section gives me a fucking headache

I really dont know what to think about this, On one hand; yeah that was a little ungrateful of the young guys literally rummaging around him taking whatever they could get, the first family he went to before that looked like they were actually saying thank you. But then on the other hand these guys came from a place where food and other goods were lacking, and so fourth basically grabbed what they could since they know they'll need enough to last them But then us westerners [B][I]really [/I][/B]do not know what these people have gone through, its such a hard situation for us too in the way how we handle these guys coming to the EU.

If a soup kitchen opened and only had 100 sandwitches to give out to 400 very hungry people, either they need to cut those sandwitches into fourths of expect the line to break down. These are people with literally nothing. I'm not condoning what they are doing, but even from the most basic of game theory perspectives its pretty easy to understand why and how this happened.

Situations like that are to be expected and say literally NOTHING about the personalities of those people. If you have hungry, desperate people, of course they will literally rip it from your hands, its what people of any background, from any country, of any race and in all of history have ever done! Of course they are not savages from a savage land, they are just people doing what people in such situations do. And this sort of thing is REALLY fucking tame by refugee camp standards! Sure it's rude, but you can't expect polite, mannerly behavior from anyone in that situation, not if you're not totally delusional. Food should be distributed by groups of people in several places at once, you GIVE it to people YOU choose, not have the first to come running take what they want, its crowd handling 101 for fucks sake! Any crowd of people acts as a collective and you don't want to give a desperate and volatile collective any room to act out. Come to think of it, I don't know WHAT this guy with the bag was expecting, it's like throwing sugar on an anthill and getting mad at the ants for swarming it

These people arent starving. These are economic refugees.

Can someone give me a short rundown of what all of this talk of refugees and stuff is about?

However, we as humans don't look kindly when people literally act like ants. I would imagine to be succesful, and sometimes to survive, as a refugee if you aren't selfish you'll learn to be. The ones that don't probably don't make it so far. It explains why, but doesn't make it okay. Rather highlights an innate problem. On the other hand even well off people act like jackals in right circumstances. Black friday for example.

That's the last time he does something nice for someone.
