What a load of horseshit.

I pretty sure the people that fought and died for those lines, the people that spent a lifetime building up something they love on one side of that line wouldn’t call them arbitrary. In fantasy land they might be arbitrary but in the real world they mean a lot. People who break the law shouldn’t be rewarded.

People aren’t suppose to be there. They should go somehow. If there are 15 million people and they largely seem to be one skin colour as you make out. That’s seems like a good starting point to me. How else would you do it?

Because trains will run 24-7 for 5+ years to deport 15+ million people?

That’s genuinely mindblowing. 1 that the trains are that bad. (Some lines hit 1.5 million per day). 2 That the situation is that dire it will take so long to fix it under ideal situations.

You don’t seem to be making any point but rambling from then on. Paying taxes says nothing without taking everything else into account. It’s literally meaningless. If they just need to reapply then it seems like they need some convincing. 15 million! Of course something needs to be done to convince them to stop breaking the law either ship them out if they aren’t meant to be there or convince them to do their civic duty

Lol how did removing people who are in the country illegally an even remotely controversial view.

No wonder the right are gaining votes all over the world. The left are their own worse enemy.

Any two party voting system is a terrible, terrible system. New Zealand changed theirs and it’s much better now (according to Kiwis I spoke to).

Do the democrats actually have anyone worth putting up instead of Biden? Like what’s the alternatives?

Surely they must have at least one young guy from Texas that wears a cowboy hat or something.

Great. Hopefully we get some good comedies.

Why far right seems appealing.

1. The left are doing everything in their power to push people away.

2. Anyone that doesn’t agree with everything someone on the far left said and have the same justification for it is far right. The right is far right. Centrist is far right. The left also are far right.

Is the same thing happening in the US as in the UK. Whenever data is taken working class white men always come off worse in the stats. But all the money goes to women and minorities while also talking about how the white man is today the cause of all the problems.

It’s like being at the bottom of the barrel and then also being shat on while everyone gets a helping hand but you.

I wouldnt be surprised if this is the type of “crime” where whatever they want to happen to him happens.

If they want life or death to stop others from doing similar then that will happen.

Only if everyone did.

Kid sees the downfall of society happening and tries to do something about it. He then defended himself when needed against 3 aggressors.

Got to respect the kid.

And Israeli bots (probably IDF and Pro-Israelis too)

Seriously I just discovered this. Go search any random Gaza/Palestine/Israel post you will see -50 for someone saying “Israel has killed children and should stop killing children” and like +300 for “this article is so biased it’s taking about Israeli attacks but no mention of how Hamas is the real cause of this death”.

I’m not even going to bother to link because I want people to see for themselves rather than it looking like I’m selecting the worst if it.

I’m talking about this

we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”

Female person doesn’t mean women.

The word has changed so it’s not correct to say that.

This just seems women are more touchy about this stuff then men.

Someone called me out on reddit for using the word girls for women and it was sexist because it is infantising, and it was stupid because they were making out I don’t call men boys. When I absoultely do, in fact I do it more than the alternative. Really the only way I was sexist on that is that I don’t do it as much as I do with men so if anything I should do it more.

But you can’t win, someone’s always going to be offended

Now, you could get around it by calling someone “a female person” - except that we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”.

We did have a word that meant that and everyone knew it. But that word has changed into something else.

Pretty sure I didn’t say that.

Ah, so the economists you paid someone to tell you to read are better than the ones they read on their own.

In short yes. There have been a 1000 years of development into the formal education system. That has lead to the industrial revolution and other other countless things.

Youtube videos are great but it’s not quite the same.

Hey, what’s your contribution to the field?

Fuck all. But it doesn’t mean my knowledge of the field isn’t in the top 1% of the world.

You guys are really bad at understanding basic economy theory.

It works on supply and demand and assumes that everyone works rationally and with full knowledge.

The invisible hand of the market finding the optimal solution is basically the 0th law of capitalism.

Now economic policy, you’ll be amazed to understand is about fixing inefficiencies that do not allow for optimal conditions. Tonnes of people go learn about what are the issues with capitalism and how to make it better, that’s what economic testing is about. That’s why it’s better than socialism because it’s competitive and strives for change.

If people are forced to work for poverty wages then they are losing their true value and capitalism would be about trying to fix that value. If everyone had UBI that would equate the negotiating position of workers and they wouldn’t have to take poverty wages. That’s why UBI is the capitalist solution to that problem in capitalism. It allows to market to work the way economists want it to work.

Haha I have a degree in economics. That why I can see all the shit you tankies write as just plain wrong.

But I’m sure your youtube video on Karl Marx makes you an expert on these things.

People don’t use words as absolutes. America is largely referred to as a capitalist country. My saying that isn’t incorrect. But you can argue technicalities of words all you want, communism sucks or (mixed economies heavily leaning to communism sucks).

Capitalism depends on the threat of homelessness to function.

No it doesn’t

UBI is also a great idea within socialist economies, where there would be no force against it.

Maybe. But socialism is a stupid inefficient system, so it’s a non starter.

UBI works very well with the market based capitalist system. That’s where I think it will shine.
