no, people don't like what y'all CLAIM is the solution to inflation, because it doesn't bring prices DOWN and just punts the problem to consumers as always. try doing something to stop the rampant runaway corporate grifting and you'll make people a lot happier.

"other considerations" is the nicest euphemism for "racist bullshit" I've ever heard

@dietotaku Hmm...

Let's deconstruct that idea via a test:

Would you feel any different if an Indigenous culture restricted immigration to their lands for the express reason of wanting to preserve their culture and way of life?

How about if an African country or, say, China did the same thing?

... or what if that Indigenous culture restricted immigration in an attempt to safeguard their lineage against erasure by dilution in the global gene pool?

It's not necessarily rooted in racist hatred.

@IrelandTorin an indigenous culture safeguarding themselves against actual genocide which has actually already happened to them is not remotely the same as "safeguarding their lineage against erasure by dilution in the global gene pool," the latter of which is absolutely racist as all fuck. anybody, and i mean ANYBODY, saying "we don't want race-mixing" is a racist piece of shit that is absolutely demonstrating racial hatred.

@dietotaku I'm not talking about the "race mixing is bad" folks. You're right, they're a bunch of racists.

Safeguarding against erasure is very different than the disgusting (and, from a genetic point of view, nonsensical) racist concept of "purity": the former simply seeks to ensure that *some* population (potentially a very small one) with majority-<x> ancestry/culture can persist; the latter abhorrently rejects or seeks to destroy anything that does not conform to a given stereotype.
