Xenophobic Refugees Ruined My Game

Xenophobic refugees ruined my game. My xenophile egalitarian society was upended after a massive refugee crisis. a fanatic purifier neighbor is being purged by a machine empire which led to them coming into my space. Sure a few 10-20 extra pops are nice but then it turned 75 then 100. Next thing I know rebellions and crime popped up all over my colonies then broke off into a new xenophobic empire. Started purging my original species. Lessons have been learned.

A Stellaris player describes how accepting refugees into a xenophile egalitarian society unexpectedly causes overcrowding, crime, rebellions, and the rise of a hostile xenophobic empire that purges the original species. The joke is an ironic reversal: a supposedly tolerant policy ruins the empire, turning the refugees and newcomers into the source of its downfall.
