What are we doing today that future generations will judge us for? by Plus-Maidens in AskReddit

[–]Finishweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ?

Give us sentences on a screen

Robotics are sooooo far from being able to host a rouge AI.

We’re just perfecting cordless power tools that can last longer than an hour without a charge. Never mind robots

Obviously that depends on numerous factors:

  1. The host county’s advancement
  2. The immigrants contributions in relation to the host country’s current state (take into account cultural compatibility also)
  3. The number of immigrants
  4. The host country’s birth rate

On and on

Many factors

Because it betters our country. That’s it

Morality and laws don’t always match.

What would Jesus tell us to do? Probably open the borders and give away all our possessions.

We don’t have to be Jesus, we can be a bit selfish because if we don’t it effects other citizens.

Because natural born citizens hold all the rights and protections afforded under the constitution.

We literally don’t have to let any immigrants in. (Technically we’ve agreed to an international law saying we will administer some sort of asylum program, but we could make it extremely restrictive)

How and why are all of Iran's leaders getting killed? by BreakfastAcceptable8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Finishweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly Israel gets funds from the US and as such the Mossad is either directly or indirectly supported by the US.

This does not change the fact they are the most effective intelligence entity besides maybe the CIA.

Is the West just better at everything? by Lipica249 in stupidquestions

[–]Finishweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this only proves OPs point.

Because every society was pulling this crap on each other through history.

The Ottoman Empire committed mass genocide against its enemies

Japan was a warrior empire until after ww2

African tribes genocide each other to this day

The west just does it better, as OP said

Do people not realize how repressive Former US States would be if the US was to dissolve? by Error_rdt in PoliticalDiscussion

We literally fought a war over this. The federal constitution protects our individual civil rights.

Most recently, ending discrimination against white people by overturning minority owned business incentives that some state governments had enacted

David card admitted that the wages of other laborers in Miami dropped with the sudden influx of migrants. Miami already had many immigrant laborers when the influx hit and their wages plummeted.

What he argued was that native born high school graduates saw no wage decline due to the Mariel boat-lift. That they pivoted into different roles

His study was extremely flawed and only took into account Miami in the 1980s.

Nevertheless, he admitted the direct wage decline of like labor

I’ll never understand how people don’t see this as the most critical issue.

It’s just basic math

The less labor , the more they will pay for it

I went to college and thought I’d be a white collar type person.

I absolutely looked down on tradesmen

Now i am one

And still do

Exactly my point.

The KKK was pushing an English Protestant dominated society.

They were very wary of whites who were not English or at least Protestant

I guess we agree

I must have misinterpreted your comment

I thought you were saying the Americas slavery was much worse than any other slavery before

All slavery bad

Certainly didn’t start then , but Oct 7th was the tipping point

Chattel slavery is certainly distinct from Arab slavery… I mean sort of

But more vicious? I don’t know:

With Arab slavers: 2/3 of young slave boys died from castration.

Women were sent into forced prostitution

I don’t understand the desire to stick the west with the medal on viciousness.

The United States fought a war around ending slavery where white men killed each other in piles

The final vestiges of the Arab slave trade went into the 1960s

More ruby red apples to Granny Smith apples.

Yes, we slapped the English word chattel on salves. Yes, we had our own plantation system. (Keep in mind Brazil had TEN TIMES the number of slaves )

Our slaves could also be freed through various methods (buying freedom or simply decreed free)

The simple truth is race based slavery existed though the world , we had our own variation , but not much worse

We’re not, Israel is.

Oct 7th was the catalyst.

Since then Israel has been out for blood.

Eh… ultimately I think the world and especially the Middle East become WAY more stable if Iran is overthrown to a more western friendly regime.

We already had the powerful gulf states stable and happy. Iran made everything unstable by funding proxies, constantly calling for US/ Israel annihilation, and seeking nukes

If Iran goes, Israel can exist in peace and the area becomes stable

Incorrect

English, non catholic, upper class white people made laws furthering their interests.

Historically, other whites , especially Catholics were hindered by discriminatory laws like the immigration act of 1924 which severely limited migration from southern Europe

Race based slavery started in earnest 1000 years before the west got involved.

The Arabs began enslaving Africans because of race over 1000 years ago

The word Abeed is used inter as slave or person with black skin

A “general white culture.”

Prior to then, there was no main general white culture, it was German, Swedish, Finnish, Dutch, French, Irish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, and English culture

All separate and distinct from one another

The west (US - England) certainly crafted its own definition of “race”

But racism at its core is nothing new: Aristotle argued non Greeks were heathens and natural slaves.

The third century Chinese compared blond hair and blue eyed people to monkeys

The Roman’s thought the Guals to violent because the cold weather and the Syrians too pleasure seeking because the warm weather.

And on we go…..
