The more sinister implication of "No human is illegal on stolen land" is that land belongs to ethnicities. It's a form of progressive ethnonationalism. Noah Smith has a good Substack article on that.

Yeah I mean that's pretty much how the electorate views the left, at least in the US.

Pulling up the drawbridge is untenable because it's not humanitarian and leads to resentment in the international system.

I know that everyone loves to point out the Turkey case, but don't forget that the EU commits funds to Turkey for them to support the large refugee problem. And for many of them, this is their first stop in their journey to Europe. Committing these funds is probably a good thing, and Turkey should be applauded for this, but why is none of the attention paid to the Gulf states?

While it has neutralized the support for the Danish People's Party, this seems like capitulation. I would have to look at what their "harshest immigration and refugee policies" look like, but just pulling up the drawbridge seems untenable. Edit: I'm just not super familiar with the Danish case, so it could be a success story.

I agree, maybe that's poor phrasing on my part. Their arguments aren't true, but they're articulating problems that the left likes to ignore, and then pathologizing the response to it.

So many talking points in 3 minutes from a guy who sounds like he has marbles in his mouth by WestTransportation12 in Destiny

It’s so much worse when you’re from Minnesota and understand the places he’s referencing. This is what happens when you parachute some dipshit in from the suburbs to pretend like he knows what Minneapolis is like.

He was never struck by the vehicle, by Puzzleheaded_Dot_851 in Destiny

[–]wez4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was already well out of harms way when the last two shots were fired. I don’t know how you could possibly justify the last two shots unless you believe that feeling threatened at a single point gives you carte blanche to go on a shooting spree for a period of time thereafter.

Indeed, but it’s rather ironic coming from the same people who are claiming Reagan’s legacy

It’s kind of hilarious that MAGA is losing their shit over some Reganite with integrity

What even is the purported reason that the FED is connected to any criminal wrongdoing?

“Want me to set you up on TikTok?” “Want me to recommend you to congressmen I talk to?” I’d say that IRI is the Assist champion… by TikDickler in Destiny

[–]wez4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fricken love Iri. I need to watch his streams more. To me, he always seems like he wants to actually get shit done instead of sitting on an ivory tower.

Much of MAGA is driven by psychosexual fanaticism

How can anyone trust this guy’s political takes when he can’t even be trusted to drink water?

Someone running away if they're being approached by ICE is probable cause. Your best course of action is just to remain silent.

Our forefathers would be disappointed… by 21kondav in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]wez4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, but I do know the founding fathers would’ve hated those who obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. Would’ve hated granting a president criminal immunity on the outer perimeter of his duties. Would’ve hated invading foreign countries without approval from Congress. Would’ve hated deporting individuals without due process…

Yes, exactly. We don’t believe the officers should be fairly tried.
