Viking_Hippie@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Missouri lawmaker proposes bounty system to report migrants5·6 months agoSounds like a good idea until you consider the fact that you’d be subjecting a bunch of people already working ridiculous hours at a crappy job for below a living wage to a lot of harassment.
And that’s if you DON’T get someone deported. Which is highly unlikely, since the fast food industry is probably the second-largest employer of undocumented immigrants after agriculture…
So maybe DON’T do that.

That’s on TOP of traumatizing them, taking away their future by denying them an education and further complicating their employment prospects by giving them an arrest record.

Jan 6th was the Beer hall putsch. They’re doing the night of the long knives and the Reichstag fire simultaneously while the Mango Mussolini takes the train to
RomeWashington. Additional reference to 1920s and 30s fascism.
Sure, but it’s about to go from awful to historically atrocious.
Everything that’s broken now is going to continue to be as broken or get worse, and a ton of other things are going to be broken beyond repair.
Don’t be fooled by the business as usual behavior of the Dem leadership now that they’re not trying to get elected; this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.
Or to encourage someone to liberate the country from the upcoming fascist regime? 🤷
And not suitable for public release, obviously
Tbf, I had no idea it was going to be Neoliberalism Central when I made the account 😄
Oh man, that pic goes fucking HARD! 😘👌✊
Where’s the serotonin, though? That’s the one I’m always low on!

You don’t have to be an idiot to be fooled by effective messaging and messaging doesn’t have to make sense to be effective.
At least once more, it seems
