Refugees and the extremes are hospitality and fear of losing our way of life.

Zizek contends that '...The same goes for the topic of refugees. Refugees mostly don’t want to live in Europe; they want a decent life back at home. Instead of working to achieve that, Western powers treat the problem as a “humanitarian crisis” whose two extremes are hospitality and the fear of losing our way of life. They thereby create a pseudo-“cultural” conflict between refugees and local working class populations, engaging them in a false conflict which transforms a political and economic struggle into one of the “clash of civilisations”.
