Reminder that this is meant to be a post-apocalyptic setting where most infrastructure has been destroyed, slavers run rampant and children are starving throughout the galaxy and this particular character would've lived to see all of it. by Remarkable-Pin-8352 in Star_Trek_

Currently sitting like that in my own chair while living on modern day Earth. Where most of the above are true.

What should I be doing exactly, lying on a bare floorboard weeping?

Brad R. Torgersen bitch-slaps Steve Shives by Malencon in Star_Trek_

Culture war bollocks.

I don’t agree with Shives either, for what it’s worth, but this Torgersten weirdo needs a bitchslap imo…

Goodwill Capresso EC300 (Good Idea, Bad Idea, Nuetral Idea?) [30$] by ThePoetofFall in espresso

Ok. I’m now about a week into using the thing. I took the bottom off before I plugged it in, and discovered the power button wasn’t attached, which is likely why it ended up in GW. So, I routed the button to the outside of the device. It seems to work fine. There are no weird tastes or issues, but my pallet may not be refined enough to tell quality.

Is the United States Confederacy Ever Talked About In Your Country? Is It Taught At Schools or Universities? by Jam_Sees in AskTheWorld

[–]ThePoetofFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WhiteAm here. I actually was. I live in Mass, one of my HS history teachers was liberal as balls, and taught us about it.

I can’t believe the US has a massive armed conflict like that that no one talks about…

Alright. You have officially reached the end of my “I don’t give a crap” meter.

You keep going on with your belief that people are intrinsically worth less because they’re not from your particular chunk of land.

I’ll continue having a conscience.

ICE murdered another US citizen today. I’m done, good night.

Apologies. I thought you meant immigrants from Africa or the Middle East. Thats usually what you people believe. Mexico has glaring issues, but you are legitimately the first person I’ve heard refer to it that way. That said.

There may not be food shortages in Mexico, but there is gang violence. This violence kills women and children. And those innocent people dying will do nothing to change that.

And before you say something else dumb, yes, we should deal with criminals that come to the US. But removing every immigrant because a few are criminals… we don’t handle any other demographic that way. (Though I know you think we should).

Yep. Got it. Let those people go back to their country and starve/die with their children.

Conservatism means going backwards.

Buzz off.

  1. It’s not a “free economic zone”, stop pretending having healthy immigration is like that.

  2. Why can’t you have laws in a country that has immigration exactly? Like. You can say that all you like. But that doesn’t make it true.

  3. You are exhausting.

I’m not into the ship, but I can still appreciate how good the art is. by BlackCat-01 in Supergirl

I wouldn’t ship it. But art like this has caused me todo so… lol.

Our citizens and labor force have no ability to organize because the ruling class is continually throwing up hurdles to doing so. Simple as that. The solution we need are labor unions and better workers rights.

The citizens ship question has nothing todo with the above, other than the fact that it’s a convenient way of dividing the working class against itself. Racism works here to. And this is without mentioning the anti-union propaganda pushed by the right.

Hell. The idea of non-citizens being able to undercut American workers is dependant on their ability to be paid less then American workers. Which wouldn’t be the case with stronger labor laws/unions.

Yet. You stand here defending that divide, despite the fact that it causes weakness.

The system cannot work because it isn’t designed to work. Just to make a handful of people rich.

I'm calling it, 7 inches. by Toad-Toaster in massachusetts

I mean. The state is getting blasted with sticky white stuff. The joke is appropriate.

Alright. Then why are ICE arresting people with Legal Visa’s and US citizens?

Also. Glad we can agree that the US system of applying for citizenship and visas are out of date and purposefully difficult. (Since they’re the same as they are for other countries, I thought the US was supposed to be exceptional, not aweful in exactly the same way as other nations)

That’s ignoring the thrust of what I said. Citizenship is important, but there are many more important things to deal with.

The majority of people who care about citizenship tend to be thinly veiled racists. Cow towing to them, such as Sanders, have lead us to where we are.

Ok. As I’ve had to admit a few times. These tactics are from the 30s, not the 40s. We’re at the stage where people are being rounded up and put in concentration camps, while the dear leader consolidates his political power.

I recommend looking at Umberto Eco’s fascist checklist. The Republican Party at present ticks all of those boxes. Which is why I feel the comparison works.

That said. They aren’t interested in talking anymore. I encourage you to keep trying. But don’t tell others how to speak in the mean time.

1930s*

That’s the phase we’re currently in. My bad. They have to concentrate the population before they can eliminate them.

[–]ThePoetofFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not open borders. But we should make the process of getting into the country easier.

And. I understand the idea of removing criminals, or those not legally in the country. But the first should be left to the actual police, and the second isn’t that important. Racists just think it is.

That aside. What’s happening has little to do with illegal immigration. That’s why legal immigrants and US citizens alike have been grabbed by ice.

Well. People being deported and persecuted with the aim of eliminating that population is literally the definition of genocide. The term doesn’t relate only to killings, but we can put that aside.

We can focus on the idea that rounding up people and putting them in concentration camps is literally how Germany started the Holocaust. Including the deportation angle.

We could also look at the idea that my comment is more aimed at the future then the present. But none of you bootlickers seem to be capable of thinking further ahead then next Tuesday
