I like to explain it as such:

The Mediterranean is full of dead bodies from asylum seekers, but people still bath there. People will not bathe in a pool, if that pool has a single cadaver in it. Some might say that it doesn't count because you can't see the bodies in the Mediterranean, but you can in the pool. but even if the pool has an angle and the corpse obscured behind said angle, people won't swim in it if they are told this in advance. so clearly there must be some ratio of dead people to water that society sees as acceptable.

so to answer your question, yes, and we haven't reached that point yet, and the right is doing it's best to keep that bar as high as possible.

Never expected to see this joke used in such a way
