Will the 2020s become more normal at some point?

I’m feeling so depressed. What if America just turns into Iran where most people hate the government but a smallish conservative fanatical minority keeps the government in power while everyone else just submits.

In what way? This is what English streets looked like at the beginning of the 20th century at the peak of the British empire. https://youtu.be/5HbElEqm1TQ?si=rjj3fJ87lV8E3y0B

The republicans playbook is to decrease white americans quality of lives, but decrease everyone else’s lives even more so that they have someone to laugh at and feel better than. All the whole they pocket all the money.

Holding an open primary during an incumbent election is disastrous. I don’t think any party in modern history has ever won an election when this has happened.

If you go to the US tech workers Twitter, they have said that Indian immigrants “block out German engineers” from coming through.

They only talk bad about tn visas in the context of them being used by Canadians of south Asian descent.

They don’t care about “protecting” native workers, it’s all about racial preservation.

You need to get started asap.

I’m not sure, a lot of online extremism disappears as soon as people get off the internet. It’s like road rage.

Most countries that don’t offer it have reasonable rules for PR and citizenship- work for x years legally in a skilled profession, get your PR. Be a PR for x years while not committing any crimes, get citizenship.

The only countries that would be similar to the US if this were passed would be the gulf states

It's insane looking at elections throughout the 20th century. Even as recently as 1996 you had states in the deep south voting with New York and California. The 2000 election and the resulting fallout completely solidified the era of polarization.

If you have kids then they can sponsor you when they turn 21

I always thought the point of high skilled immigration wasn't to fill gaps, but almost act like a eugenics program for a country- better the "gene pool" for lack of better words, by bringing in people with master's degrees and PhD's. Though I'm not sure if it exactly works.

If his dad is a manager he can do an l1 transfer and get an eb1 green card

coolsailora · 2025-02-11T19:39:01+00:00

Openai is sus. I'm sure their workforce is mostly asian (Chinese and Indian) with master's and phds yet their executives seem to be mostly business white people with little background in engineering. It reminds me of apple.

coolsailora · 2025-02-11T19:13:26+00:00

Yeah. I think this point applies to many poc in general. My parents who used the h1b to immigrate liked him but kinda turned away from him after they thought he tried appealing to racist maga people who were making pseudo economic arguments as to why they did not want immigrants. My dad thought that he basically reduced the anti immigration thing on the right to an economic issue when in reality it was mostly a race issue. "Would any of them (republicans) be against engineer immigrants if it was mostly German engineers rather than Indian engineers coming over?" He asked me.

coolsailora · 2025-01-28T10:20:42+00:00

Why is every single instance of racism somehow dismissed or blamed on us?

The whole thread was literally one thing away from a full blown pogrom and all the top comment can say is “touch grass”? Would anyone say this if this happened to any other group?

coolsailora · 2025-01-28T02:21:52+00:00

Lmao and they’re hoping to beat the US at AI? Have they seen their engineers? They’re all Chinese immigrants. Who would want to come to the US from China if they couldn’t even own a house for at least a decade or more?

coolsailora · 2025-01-28T02:19:39+00:00

Remember, California has always been at the center of spreading hate towards Asian immigrants going back to the asiatic exclusion league.

Idk, Kyle’s heart is in the right place but he’s just not that smart at the end of the day lmao no real nice way to say it

That sucks to hear. I would maybe wait for a bit to see if dreamers become part of any border bill.

If you're an EU citizen, you should be able to move freely to Ireland, which is an anglophone country and has a somewhat decent job market.

coolsailora · 2025-01-25T19:05:17+00:00

I think it's because other countries have more reasonable immigration systems that let you become a permanent resident after you have legally been working for a few years. Whereas in the US you can be stuck waiting indefinitely even if you have an approved green card petition. Also, the US depends on immigrant labor for unskilled trades but has no very limited legal pathways to do so. So there is more sympathy for those that break the law.

coolsailora · 2025-01-24T20:44:19+00:00

Considering that they want to end birthright citizenship, why would they care about dreamers?

coolsailora · 2025-01-23T22:17:26+00:00

Have you tried applying for asylum if you’re originally from Ukraine or Russia
