Is this gomba fallacy?
My church has a mission partner group where we welcome and help house and settle newcomers. Some of our congregation have even let them live in their basement units, helped them with finding housing, furniture, etc, and just helped them navigate how to do life here, like doctor’s appointments, banking, school, etc. It makes us absolutely livid that doors are closing to newcomers.
Yea, this meme is an overall sentiment, but the church members that participate in missions are rarely the ones against immigration (from my limited experience, anyway).
Yes of course. I’m just saying, some of us are livid about Christians like this
Poors stay on that side of the fence

It refers to people generally supportive of things, but not where they live.
Typical topics are energy/transport infrastructure or housing for refugees/homeless people.

I love jesus, not these fucking hippie Palestinians!
Wait, was Christianity and the command to spread the gospel message the reason why the age of exploration happened in Europe, as opposed to elsewhere?
No, it was for trade with Asia
China didn’t need to find an alternative path to China
Why didn’t the American people build ships across the ocean? Maybe to Eastern Asia, that would be closer. Africa is also close to Brazil.
Lack of relationship, Europe and Asia had over a thousand years of history together before Europe tried to sail to them
Europe’s geography also meant sailing was important for war. Rome and Greece fighting over the Mediterranean, later Spain/France and Britain to even have a war. Africa and the Americas were more land based
I imagine that was part of it, but I doubt it’s the actual main reason. More of a post justification.
Just FYI, if you hadn’t seen already, lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month.
(I’m just reminding people this so they don’t think the server just stopped working and get annoyed.)
Ie. You’ll be able to continue interacting with lemmy by making an account on a new server. :)
I know. I have NodeBB as a backup.
