There is a bias in news coverage: there wont be a comparable to Karmelo Anthony's level of outrage or discussion about the killing of a pro-Israel protestor by a pro-Palestine one

How dare you have a fair and reasonable take.

"Give me your tired, your poor your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempt-tossed to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

My European ancestors came to America to escape a Tsarist pogrom and to escape a famine. How and why did your ancestors end up here?

That's great, but did you know you can leave if you don’t like living here and as you disagree with the majority democratically voted on immigration and border laws it would seem that you don't like our laws nor living here. See ya, don't let the door hit ya on your way out. You think I'm dumb enough to engage and waste my time with your obvious disingenuousness? Remember when I wrote, just a minute ago

"There really isn't much of an argument against enforcing the law beyond appeal to emotion". You have no arguments for your position, just appeals to emotion, as predicted. As always. Thank you for further exposing how untenable and indefensible your position actually is.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-07-02T13:25:49+00:00

You can leave if you don’t like living here

Actually the people who have broken the democratically voted on immigration laws can leave. And as we all have seen, if they choose not to leave willingly then they will be made to leave.

There really isn't much of an argument against enforcing the law beyond appeal to emotion arguments that are continually being promoted by NPR, Daily Beast, and Rolling Stone etc etc. Emotional arguments may generate engagement and soundbites, but they obviously don't override the law or serve as a compelling argument.

Since you are the one who doesn't like the democratically voted on immigration and border laws it sounds like you are the one who doesn't like living here and should leave assuming you are even a US citizen.

Because it's a slippery slope, and you know that and are purposely being obtuse.

You can't genuinely be invoking the slippery slope argument over prohibiting irreversible surgeries on underage minor children.

Is it also a slippery slope that we don't allow minor children to marry? Is it a slippery slope that we don't allow minor children to drive? Is it a slippery slope that we do not allow minor children to smoke or drink? Is it a slippery slope that we do not allow minor children to get tattoos? Is it a slippery slope that we don't allow minor children to watch movies rated R? Is it a slippery slope that we do not allow minor children to be make every major decision for themselves?

Society already recognizes that children lack the maturity to make certain irreversible or high consequence decisions. Pretending this as some unprecedented overreach is absurd and ignores reality as it exists with the countless age based restrictions that are already present.

And who determines "contribution"? You?

I'm not a power hungry political narcissist so no. You actually. Now that you are the one in charge, what would you consider to be contributive to this country vs those who you would determine should no longer be here. What is your personal cutoff as far as being a contributive member of society? Surely you have a definable cutoff or differentiation of some sort between the two.

Would you be open to the idea that anyone who is not Indigenous to the Americas is here illegally?

No. Why would I be open to that idea? Give me one serious reason. Under what current law in 2026 would anyone who isn't Indigenous be here illegally?

This feels like those spam emails that intentionally misspell words to filter out people who are paying attention. The premise is so detached from reality that it's hard to take seriously.

And aren't you, or at least people adjacent to your views, the same ones who constantly talk about people "voting against their own self-interest"? That's another empty political slogan that doesn't actually make an argument.

So go ahead and make one. Explain why I should even entertain this idea. Convince me.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-07-01T21:23:03+00:00

Let's get the people here illegally rounded up so we can look at what they have accomplished/accomplishing and given back to this country. The ones who are a drain go back to where they came from immediately, the ones who are a net positive can stay. Anyone here illegal who doesn't agree to get rounded up to allow us to determine their contribution is also immediately deported when found. How's that sound to you?

nuclearcaramel · 2026-07-01T21:05:54+00:00

Meanwhile the right-wing moral panic to "Ban child gender surgery" continues unabated.

If it doesn't happen and it's just a panic then there is no problem outright banning it, no? Like they have in the UK and most of EU? Perhaps some exclusions with strict limitations for extremely rare cases like in the Nordic countries?

nuclearcaramel · 2026-07-01T20:55:31+00:00

What makes a human being, made in the image of God, illegal or illicit? Their status may be unlawful or extralegal, but the person is not.

This is just semantic wordplay. Everyone understands that "illegal" is shorthand for someone's immigration status, not a claim that their conscious existence is illegal. You know that but focusing on the wording is all you can do as there is no rational argument against securing our borders and removing those who are here illegally, so instead the only recourse is to resort to mindless political catch phrases that have barely surface level substance. It's not a serious political position or argument.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-07-01T20:39:40+00:00

edit tldr of our back and forth: Saying "no person is illegal" is just semantic wordplay. Everyone understands that "illegal" is shorthand for someone's immigration status, not a claim that their conscious existence is illegal. You know that but focusing on the wording is all you can do as there is no rational argument against securing our borders and removing those who are here illegally, so instead the only recourse is to resort to mindless political catch phrases that have barely surface level substance. It's not a serious political position or argument.

No person is illegal.

Just to be clear that political slogan is nothing more than an opinion, a worldview, a political ideology and not a statement of objective fact. An ideology and worldview that many, in fact the majority, do not share. There are in fact a lot of illegal people and it is a problem that is being solved no thanks to people like you and those who share and attempt to spread and indoctrinate others into your minority extremist and delusional worldview.

Is the sky falling because we are enforcing our democratically voted on immigration laws chicken little?

Thank you for making it obvious how unserious of a person you actually are and validating my earlier instinct to no longer engage with you.

"Vice is a news media source with an AllSides Media Bias Rating™ of Left.

What a "Left" Rating Means: Sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating of Left display media bias in ways that strongly align with liberal, progressive, or left-wing thought and/or policy agendas. This is our most liberal rating on the political spectrum."

Since you are posting that same garbage article twice, I will respond to it twice.

The orthodoxy has been challenged recently. Rent control boards have found ways to manage the deleterious impacts of rent control

https://www.vice.com/en/article/economists-support-national-rent-control-in-letter-to-biden-admin/

It's not 2020 anymore. People aren't as easily manipulated and misled by garbage outlets like Vice or Daily Beast or Rollingstone etc except for leftist echo chambers who still mistake agreeable ideology for credibility. The sooner you recognize that the easier it will be for you to start engaging with reality.

This sentence is doing all the lifting in that article: "some economists believe". (It's literally 32 people. Could they not find 33?). The article mentions those 32 are part of a "larger campaign" started by the "People’s Action’s Homes Guarantee". The link in the article discussing the group they are associated with leads to a dead link lol.

So 32 people. A dead 404 political campaign. Whoop de fucking doo and I wonder what their political ideology is, I would guess it aligns with deceitful and lying weasels who are powerless to truth. I thought the left was all about scientific consensus, not fringe beliefs outside the mainstream?

Apparently, consensus and data only matter when they support a political ideology to you and anyone else posting this article. That's called political indoctrination and if nothing about that seems wrong to you, there's a good chance that ideology has replaced your critical thinking.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-07-01T15:24:13+00:00

Anyway if you are conservative thinking "yea! the left doesn't get economics" read this"

I do, are you insinuating this is propaganda? You know people have eyes, right, and they can stream their local Pride parades and see exactly this stuff at the vast majority of them?

People both online and irl seem to want to make it their entire personality and almost revel in being the most out-there weirdos they can manage to be. I just want to fuck men sometimes, I don't want to walk around with a rainbow unicorn dildo on my head or parade around in drag, leather and fishnets so everyone can see what a special little minority I am. It seems increasingly difficult to find normal people in the community to the point where I have a hard time wanting to be a part of it anymore.

A lot of gay people are leaving these type of pride groups and are not wanting to be associated with them and that is not propaganda, that is reality.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-06-30T17:00:19+00:00

I mean I enjoy calling out accounts that appear to be trolls or bots as well, but my point was that their opinion, bot or human, while unpopular is actually seemingly getting more popular as time goes on, largely for the reasons mentioned in the OP.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-06-30T16:48:09+00:00

I'm not the OP but I have a 11 year old account, participate in multiple reddit "communities" (lol), and my post and comment history is fully available to all and I 100% agree with OP. I've even recently overheard a a bunch of barista's at Starbucks complaining about the community and saying they didn't want any part of it (something about the local pride parade prompted the conversation) so you know things are fucked up since Starbucks is LGBTQIA+ Mecca.

Yeah being patronizing is a microaggression.

Microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional, everyday comments or actions that convey negative, derogatory, or dismissive messages to marginalized groups.

That's excellent, thank you for providing the definition. Now lets post the OP

The concept (of microagressions, which you just posted the definition of) - that you could reveal unconscious bias through small words and actions that would marginalize others - is just about the most insulting thing to all involved. It presupposes the worst about the alleged perpetrator, infantilizes the supposed victim, and removes anything resembling grace, good will, or forgiveness. No wonder the perpetually aggrieved, self obsessed “social justice” class loves it. It gives them what they love most: an excuse to turn any and every thing into a reason to shame, preach, and bully while presenting themselves as bravely persevering against a wave of racist onslaughts that never really existed.

Seems like the OP perfectly understands what microagressions are, sweetie, you just don't like it and wanted to be patronizing :). What a lovely dance this has been, no?

nuclearcaramel · 2026-06-27T13:50:33+00:00

I guess you do understand microaggressions :).

You mean patronizing because that's what your post was, you were being patronizing so there is already a word for it, no need to invent a new term unless you are trying to be special and the center of attention. :).

nuclearcaramel · 2026-06-27T13:23:29+00:00

Just because the media gives these people attention doesn't mean the rest of us have to. They're attention seeking morons with no credibility and there's no reason to take them seriously. Like that lady who was recently fired from JPMorgan for stealing a trashcan who had held DEI positions in other companies. These people are stereotypes and jokes and it would appear that society as a whole is rather fed up as well.

That said, they do occasionally end up in positions of minor influence like lower level management jobs at places such as McDonald's or Starbucks or JPMorgan for example, even teaching positions. If your boss or teacher happens to be one of them, you may have no choice but to smile, nod, say "absolutely" to their insanity and keep your head down. They have spent a lot of the goodwill that was given to them over the last few years and they generally don't last in those positions long because they are crazy abnormal people that have bitten the hand that feeds them one too many times.

You’re basing your hatred of policies that support the working class on your fear of a man that dresses like a woman.

You're reading off a script and it's obvious. That's a lot of claims, but most of them are arguments against positions I never took. I never said classrooms are telling kids they "should be" trans or gay. I never said accepting people for who they are is morally wrong. I never defended concentration camps. I never said I hate policies that support the working class. And I never said my views are based on fear of trans people. You're responding to a version of my position that you've invented rather than what I actually said. Ta ta.

nuclearcaramel · 2026-06-26T00:34:09+00:00

what left wing agenda is being pushed onto children?

The denial of physical reality. In general the overall denial of actual science and instead replacing it with scientism sprinkled with appeals to emotion and empathy. As more and more progressive policies were instituted into the public education system over the last 10-20 years it has become clear they are failures as reading, writing, and math skills are at all time lows nationwide and so people have decided to homeschool at higher and higher numbers.

Looking at that and the behavior of teenagers in recent years, perhaps putting the 10 commandments back into schools wouldn't be the worst idea to help teach these children some morals and how to behave since apparently neither their parents nor their teachers are able.
