I obviously think we should help if we can, but there are some very hard economic realities we are facing right now that even if we had a well-intentioned government (we don't) would mean we should help ourselves before helping others, and oh boy do we need help. Decades of privatisation left our govt with the square root of fuck all. Our social service funding hasn't kept up, our pensioner pops have exploded, shit is all fucked up. The country is looking rougher and rougher by the minute, homelessness is rampant, jobs are scarce, and most everything is unaffordable. Everybody is beholden to elderly landlords first in tax, then in rent, then they vote for the ones with the most vile, most racist beliefs.
