maybe explain why migration is surging in the first place and why all the racism in the world won't stop it? but then you'd have to acknowledge climate change and your right-wing overlords won't like that
BECAUSE THEY ARE. you just got done saying "many citizens feel uncomfortable with the associated societal changes," that is the DEFINITION OF XENOPHOBIA. you don't have to be white to be racist or xenophobic. being a minority who hates immigrants is just as ignorant as being a white person who hates immigrants.
"racist authoritarian party using violent rhetoric is the only party listening to public's racist authoritarian opinion using violent rhetoric"
JUST BECAUSE IT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOOD
or it's as if they saw people being a bunch of racist cunts and said "fuck you, now you get twice as many immigrant veggies on your plate, you piece of shit."
like, if public opinion was that murder should be legal and there was a "Ted Bundy did nothing wrong" party that promised to legalize murder, what do you think politicians should do about that? just roll over and legalize murder? or say "I don't care how popular it is, MURDER IS WRONG AND YOU'RE WRONG FOR WANTING IT"?
"celebrating" immigration while making it exceedingly difficult to immigrate doesn't sound very progressive or leftist to me. and any leftist with 2 brain cells to rub together knows the cause of income inequality is capitalism, not immigration.
the man has spent millions of pounds sending migrants to RWANDA, if that's the liberal approach what's the conservative one, gas chambers?
absolutely none of these approaches address where they're supposed to go. they're migrating for a reason, you can't just stand at the border and go "nope 🙅♀️ country's getting too brown, can't come here." they NEED a new place to live, so if not there, where?
"complicates" is a weird way to spell "lays bare the disingenuous bullshit of."
the justice system is absolutely broken, but Republicans are never going to talk about that because they want it to be broken. they just thought it was broken enough to keep their God Emperor out of court.
holy shit, I did not see that coming, especially out of North Dakota of all places 😳
I don't even want to get in to why RFK Jr speaks to Latinos (did I miss the Latino anti-vax brain worms movement?) but you can't tell me Latinos are moving towards Trump and also that if this third guy wasn't on the ballot they would vote for Biden. if anything, RFK Jr is like Trump if CrossFit replaced the racism.
my first impression is that this is a good thing that will help people so let me guess, only .89% of Americans have medical debt and the majority public opinion is that people with medical debt should have it tattooed on their foreheads?
the fact that this is all it took to get BTS in the headline summary... I genuinely thought the media would take this hiatus as an opportunity to forget about BTS entirely
"we are NOT racists! ...we're NAZIS, you can't just ignore the antisemitism bit!"
so you join the NAZIS?! you know that "self-reflect and grow as a person to meet the left where they are" is an option, right?
@dietotaku i saw that in the news yesterday. good ruling.
@dietotaku he is a conspiracy nut
@dietotaku the republican view of the courts is that any accountability for them is corrupt.
@dietotaku sad. if that's where the socalled liberals are going.
this doesn't even talk about the race of foreign-born residents & we all know these Nazis only have their titties in a twist over brown people. but also I wonder if the impact of global interconnectedness & sheer physical ease of travel might have something to do with it? not like all those foreign-born people are traveling on foot. it's becoming increasingly common for white collar people to move abroad for college, a job opportunity, better cost of living or just to experience another culture
