Guilt by association? Have you looked at that site? Here’s an excerpt from an adjacent article: “Is it common sense to open the borders of your country and then to spend truckloads of taxpayer dollars to feed, house, and nurture the millions of illegal migrants who have poured in?”
Every other article fellates Trump and talks about how Tucker Carlson showed us that Jan 6 was peaceful and other unhinged if not outright bad faith writing. Jesus fucking christ, talk about common sense…
We speak of the Wild West as “lawless”. I assure you there were very much laws against murder and theft then. They just had sporadic enforcement. Much as roads and highways are in many parts of the country. In California I see racing, 100mph driving, weaving like mad. In the ride home from the airport I watched teenagers race and crash. Drunk driving all over wine country. Never once saw anyone like this pulled over.
The wild west is as equally misunderstood. There were far far fewer guns carried by people then compared to now and laws were well enforced even in sporadically populated areas. The exceptions were boom towns, like gold rushes, where the populations grew faster than norms could be established.
I guess if you don't see it then it must never happen to anybody ever. That isn't valid data.
Something tells me you can’t believe this nonsense you’re spewing. You’re attributing the greatest economic boom the world has ever seen, not to being the sole winner and survivor of WWII, but because the borders were tightened. You must be a troll.
Not at all! I think it’s worse for the country to import foreign elites, like my family, than low skill workers. Foreign elites are the people most responsible for the dysfunction in their home countries.
I think if the people of Virginia were voting in 1989 whether to allow in me and 500,000 people like me, those people would not be better off as a result of choosing immigration.
- We have made their schools and jobs more competitive. We don’t have the taboo on open competition like British Americans, and don’t have the same idea of raising “well rounded” kids. My dad grew up in a village where 20% of kids died before age 5. He got out because he is a grinder. My parents socialized me to work 16 hours a day, discouraged dating, or having any hobbies that you couldn’t put on a resume, etc. I went to a STEM magnet school that went from 20-25% asian when I was there to 70% asian at the peak, and we completely changed the culture.
- We have facilitated societal changes, because we don’t value individual liberty as highly but place more value on social order. We don’t value common wisdom the way British Americans do, but place more value on formal education and credentials.
- We have reduced social cohesion. My family feels no personal solidarity with poor Americans. My family is economically liberal in a generic sense, but only insofar as they don’t personally have to pay more taxes.
A bunch of plumbers and landscapers and other blue collar types move to small town Idaho and it's business as usual, maybe Spanish pops as a subtext on more public facing signage, the local diner expands, etc, etc.
A bunch of doctors and lawyers and techies and MBAs move to Idaho and it's mayhem, local politics get turned upside down, house prices off the charts, etc, etc.
Yes, we will lose our first amendment rights if people can’t get rich off of telling obvious lies and slander against grieving parents. Look at yourself in the mirror and try again.
We all want lies to not happen online. But the problem with censorship is that it must be done by humans, and any human will always impose their own sense of morality and politics onto others. So since no human can be trusted to be put in charge of someone elses speech that means NONE of us can be allowed to be "in charge".
No human has the omniscience to be able to flag anything as "true" or "false". Best example in recent history: Hunter Laptop. People will flag it as "false" even knowing it's "true". The FBI and 51 officials did exactly that and it was enough to swing 2020 election all by itself. Not to mention the 100s of other political lies, everything from drinking bleach hoax, to "good people on both sides" hoax.
Looks like Est31 has made about 7 factual claims. I'd guess you'd get more replies if you would narrow down which of the seven you are most perplexed by.
“Just rely on another government’s strict regulations and illegally create a business around it so you can get a few durable items oh and stop complaining about government regulation.”
