The Great Global Pushback

[Votto]

It would be (very) wrong to look at other important parts of the world right now, and not draw some possible parallels.

Seems (to me) that those parallels are pretty clear: A pushback against what is perceived as anti-nationalism (or, the dilution of nations by immigration and cultural norms). And to get more specific, it's immigration without expectation/requirements of assimilation. There are other issues as well, mostly centering around cultural topics.

We can pretend this isn't happening, or we can consider the possibility that there is a significant number of people who feel this way. To ignore it would be a mistake. To mock it would be a mistake. To attack and punish it would CONTINUE to be a mistake.

Seems to me the concerns are reasonable, even if they are advanced in (very) counterproductive ways. THIS is REAL.

George Soros had to know there would be pushback when he took over the world

And I'm sure he has an answer to solve all those problems, so no worries, or do you doubt "The Soros"?

Where is thy faith child?

This is stupid.

You call "The Soros" stupid?

Ok, now back to taking over the universe.

i have no problem with any humane, legal controls we can put on the border.

refugees are not "illegal."
"illegals" are not necessarily criminals.

how about an "ellis island" somewhere along the rio grande where we examine for disease, search for drugs and bombs, and centralize the refugee process?

we really need a database of all non citizens ( i would argue citizens as well) of fingerprints, dna, contacts in usa and abroad, etc.

i just wonder what systemic problems are solved by running around hysterically pointing fingers at the immigrants, many more properly refugees?

Within two hours Mac is back to calling Trump voters "you people"

Who's surprised? Anyone, anyone at all? I would be shocked if he could ever stop

And in just over an hour you made the thread about Mac instead of commenting on the topic.

White people mad. So fucking what? Those fucking morons are going to be offering to suck dick in exchange for immigration like crackheads when they realize the health of their economies are dependent on replenishing their aging and less reproductive populations.

Better yet just place a moratorium on migrants altogether

We have far too many now and dont need anymore

Well, there goes your thread, Mac.
The resident racist thread derailer just killed it.
Oh well.

Mac1958 is trying to live down his reputation as a partisan trump hater who voted for biden and biden’s horrible immigration policies

But no one except libs are fooled

See. Look at this idiot. At least the actual capitalists know better. Politicians might cry about immigration for propaganda reasons but they're never going to do anything about the cheap labor they and their business associates get to exploit.

You triggered? At least I still managed to address the topic. Dumb hick voters might care about assimilation but capitalists don't.

The idiots are libs like you who cant tell the difference between immigrants and illegal aliens/fake asylum seekers gaming the system

That's the conditioning. If you (a) disagree with it, or (b) don't understand it, attack.

Tedious. But definitely instructive, in its own way.

What you don't understand is that I don't care about the difference. I think anyone who wants to come here should be allowed to and luckily for me your capitalist leaders feel the same way. They don't give a shit if you and your culture get replaced. Not if they're going to earn a buck doing it.

Pattern:

1. Mac makes a thoughtful post, like this one, wherein he pretends to want to engage

2. Mac reverts to form and just whines about "you people" within less than two hours

3. People point this out to Mac

4. Mac says see, that's all they ever do is find fault in me this confirms everything I think about "those people"

Rinse repeat literally thousands of times

He's not fooling anyone, just like Toro from last evening. If the socialists had made gains they would be touting that.....Both of them are reprehensible.

Here's a test for you:

How often do I whine about Biden here?

And how often does Mac whine about Trump and "Trumpers"?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Here's a test for you:

And how often does Mac whine about Trump and "Trumpers"?

The bigger question is how often do you whine about Mac?

 

[SweetSue92]

The minute Mac gets over his TDS and returns to the rational poster he once was I'll stop whining.

I do note your red herrings and ad hominems though

Not un-vetted you dumb OX. There are no recources to vet 4 million per year, house and feed. You pay for it Mr. Rockefeller.
