The government in general is crumbling and it’s corrupt “leaders” will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it’s legitimacy.

They’ll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.

Gates does own 80 percent of US farmland, for anyone interested

Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking

It’ll be right before the false flag attack used to justify repression of dissent

Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don’t care that their constituents don’t.

Wild. I’ve read starship troopers but didn’t know all this about him.

The general online labeling of Heinlein as a kind of fascism idealizer (due to the popularity of that book) begins to fall apart when you view him as an author who experimented with different forms of governance in his world building.

Yeah, preposterous bills written with no intention to actually pass have been part of the game for quite some time.

I guess the crazy part is that now you have to check up on them.

I think the other hand is telling every other appendage to make a bunch of noise while it loots the country to answer your question.

Thank you for this

I’m asking why as a country, a state, or a community anyone would want illegal immigration

I think you’re already there but the illegal immigrants are here because corporations benefit from the desperate cheap labor. Both parties largely turn a blind eye to the trickle and talk and talk about what to do. I’ve yet to see a proposal where corporations or their leadership face consequences if they’re found to be employing illegal immigrants.

I totally agree with your take on how deportations don’t help.

To play both sides, a lot of immigrants choose to work here for low wages in order to send money back to their families from their home country. They endure horrible conditions and don’t expect much social mobility. Their families usually come from countries hurt by neo capitalism so I get why rekorse criticizes their role as being morally dubious for the citizens of the host country.

Definitely the party leaders who consistently outperform the S and P

It’s not you who isn’t American, it’s the current governing body.

Third party corruption investigations and prosecutions are needed on every branch of high level government.

The tone is set from the top. Hold the top accountable and the rats will cease to try and climb.

We will see how much they actually care in the next 2 years

It’s a show. The only thing established party leadership cares about on either side is lining their pockets. The longer they keep us arguing about their disfunction, the more they rob from us. One class. Working class.

Maggat types have been noted as having a higher proclivity towards in-group thinking, so, to your point, the methods for obtaining peace can be twisted into believing that the out group is the root of the problem.

Think of them as fellow working class with a slight (at times severe) gullability disability if that helps. One class. Working class.

My guess is that certain idolizers of orange saw the blatant oligarchical cabinet choices, particularly with Elmo and hit some heavy cognitive dissonance. The truck symbolism is right there.

Most people can clearly see he’s always been pro-corporate and fuck-you-working class.

The cognitive dissonance from anyone who’s been outright worshipping him and has opened their eyes must be straight up torture.

Even magatts are operating on the following when it comes to their political consent: “what leadership will cause the most opportunity for peace for me and my loved ones”

If you think corruption is a one-party issue, I’d like some of the drugs you’re taking

“Reviewing the ad spending from the Harris campaign, it’s clear that the bulk of the money was funneled through firms run or owned by Democratic Party insiders.”

Bruh. Rn the comments are about how the DP can better leverage ad spending and I’m thinking to myself these first few commenters have to be bots with the express instructions to avoid talking about corruption within the party.

This article is about corruption. Our government is corrupt.

Fuck outta here with this media landscape shit

Fr lol. Everyone should safely try a heavy psilocybin dose at least once. (Unless you have a genetic history of schizophrenia)

I mean in terms of effect on population (which is kind of the point), the analogy still holds.
