This falsely implies that laws are consistently just, strongly benefit society in evidence-based ways, aren't regularly composed by lobbyists or in response to party politics and are applied equally.

LOL. It doesn't imply that at all. It repeatedly hints at corruption in justice systems.

So, how do you feel about those those German-taxpayer-funded refugee holding camps in Turkey, and the German funded Libyan coast guard?

I feel great about them because the reality is the choice between funding these holding camps or doing nothing at all like most countries. Germany took in literal boatloads of refugees and still helper turkey with their cost. Could we have done better&more? Fuck yeah, but you'll be hard pressed to find a country that did more for the refugee crisis than Germany

Yeah, see, you're just spinning this "let's accept Erdogan's blackmail and give him 6 billion euroes" as a positive thing ("We did good!"), and ignoring all the shit aspects.
People are always so biased...

You have to make an exemption for your home nation or else you are committing yourself to becoming a refugee instead of fighting for change within your country.
Where i draw the line is when criminals get their fair day in a court vs getting in a camp for being muslim.
