But a Golden Age immediately in the wake of this calamity would do far more to promote this in the Ymaryn group conscious, even from a perspective of helping others, than simply tanking our pop book and preventing an immediate GA would even if it's more refugees. To say nothing of the fact that the fewer refugees we take in, the less fall through the cracks and wind up just as abused and taken advantage of as before.
It sounds all well and good to pat ourselves on the back for going maximum refugee but like anything in life, it's nowhere near as clear cut as you suggest, even from a strict moral interpretation.
I'm fucking baffled after some of the screw ups we've had handling refugees before that absolutely no one has considered the potential issues of using a levied military to enact mass evacuation procedures in the fucking Iron Age, on a foreign people no less.
Let's ignore the risk of us unintentionally forcing people to come to Ymar proper, what do you think the message presented externally if right after the disaster there are massive, impoverished refugee coloumns flanked by military formations?
We can't look at things purely mechanically, nor can we look at them through a simplistic narrative lense either. We need to think about the implications behind such. I'll admit to a bit of paranoia here, and I don't think it would truly wind up going awful, but there seems a definite risk of misrepresentation, cultural clash and confusion, and simple lack of understanding of the entire issue.
State enforced evacuations are an entirely different beast then purely voluntary refugee intake, and we need to be careful when we make that step.
