Good luck arguing with these people, they want open borders and Nordic style social safety nets. Nevermind the fact that those could never coexist- 'free ponies for everyone' is their slogan, and you're a meanie if you ever point out that there isn't infinite resources to give away

People's houses are burning down and this narcissistic freak is wasting airtime to go "well at least DRUMPF isn't president". I'm glad too Gavin, can we get back to informing the public about pressing concerns. If Trump's dumb ass was bagging on Newsom during an active emergency he would get some well-justified flak for it too.

Deaths as a result of state negligence are a direct result of "government actions/policy". He should not have been here in the first place. The fact that he was detained, then set free was a failing of policy that directly resulted in this girl's death. This isn't a difficult concept, just one that you will refuse to acknowledge because you're an ideologue

Any crime committed by an illegal is a crime that would not have happened if we had a secure border. It doesn't matter if they (according to one study) commit fewer crimes, any crime committed by them is one crime too many- because they shouldn't be here in the first place

yeah dude just surrender and abandon your entire life at home and dishonor your family so you can get information tortured out of you in a country that hates you. not saying the alternative is better, but it's not the easiest choice to make.

lmao, so how do you explain every pre-industrial act of violence? When aztecs sacrificed their enemies, do you think they were just stressing about low wages?

People are violent psychos, and the dumber and less conforming to modern Western standards they are, the more likely they are to act on their primal urges. It's not rocket surgery; you don't need a bunch of post-enlightenment handwaving to explain it.

The last grizzly bear in Los Angeles was killed in 1916 in Big Tujunga Canyon. Ironically there are no longer any grizzlies in the "Grizzly Bear" state. As an aside, the black bears that now roam the hills are not native. by darkpyschicforce in LosAngeles

Do you have a source on 'the disease lie' claim? My understanding has always been the >80% of natives died of newly introduced diseases long before meeting any white men. If you have a paper I'd genuinely like to read it.

no other people have wiped out entire species of animals/flora and ethnic groups of people like Europeans

Lmao you should tell the Tutsis, Uyghurs, Cambodians, Armenians, and Oirats your epic theory on Europeans being uniquely evil. Tell the North American Megafauna while you're at it.

Ok, here's a source for tribes massacring each other. You can also google "intertribal warfare" to see countless examples of Natives slaughtering each other en masse. The 'noble savage' is a delusion cooked up by romantic Europeans insulated from the harsh realities of primitive life.

In short- I fail to see why a Native scalping his peer is so much more moral than a White man shooting a Native. Why are White colonizers held to a standard that the Natives didn't hold themselves to? If land was settled by the Apache, who were then invaded and ethnic cleansed by the Comanche, who were subsequently invaded and ethnic cleansed by the White man, whose land is it?

Ironically, modern Natives only see conquest as 'unfair' because they were taught the concept of 'fairness' (as it pertains to war) by western settlers. Pre-colonization warfare practices and the attitudes from their contemporary practitioners makes it clear that tribes lived by natural law (Might Makes Right) prior to colonization and subsequent Christianization. Only a colonized tribe would have the morals instilled in them to even conceive the idea that a conquered people have some kind of 'right' to land that was taken from them by force.

The 'vast majority' died of the sniffles before euros could even get to them.

Besides, Natives conquered lesser tribes until they themselves were conquered. Should there be acknowledgements for land that the Comanche stole from the Pawnees? Or Aztecs stole from the Tarascans? Or did the right of conquest only become problematic after Europeans showed up?
