Basically this in every capacity.

Immigrants are easy to hate and kick out. They are already probably vulnerable as a group, so kicking them while they are down while screaming, “YOU DON’T EVEN BELONG HERE!” makes emotionally immature people feel like they regaining control and protecting their country. This however has nothing to do with the other. Societies where racism begins to thrive will pick any vulnerable group. In Nazi Germany, it was the Jews. In China, it’s the Uyghurs. In many European countries, it’s the immigrants.

What exacerbates this further is that hating on immigrants (or any vulnerable group) worsens their conditions which makes it easier to point the finger and blame them for crime or lack of resources. Rinse and repeat. The spiral continues. The racists get more validation after pushing the immigrants down, and the immigrants become more frustrated with a country that doesn’t value their taxes and contributions.

One of the best things I’ve read in a long time. Thank you

Never said all ads are like that. Still wondering how much dystopian ads like that bring along in actual value.

And now they are also making everyone agree to having their data splurged up by the giant monstrosity that is now google: share or die.

All disguised as real choices 😁

I wonder how many sales really go down just driven by the dystopian internet ads that pop up into your face or hide half the screen…

The Left as a single monolith is the work of fiction.

Too many bells are ringing

Who said it did?

Yeah these things sound awful. Thanks for the pointers.

In all fairness I went there to see what the issue is, the top post was about ants and most things that popped up were good memes. Which communities are you referring to? I’m guessing not c/earth or something…

Does dehumanizing them help?

Edit: From the downvotes it seems that most people here think “yes!”

I think it was clear what I meant: what is the point of repeating the exact same phrase. Your explanation was quite halfassed. Anyway I was asking so to understand American politics better as a non-American. You have not brought me any closer.

I’m asking seriously

What’s your point by repeating this for conservatives?

I wish they could be split by something more meaningful like muscle mass or weight. But maybe we don’t have the technology yet to come up with new categories. This split will likely correlate with gender anyway but it would give people on either end a chance to compete with others in their level

Like I said, they convinced you they are not able to stop weapon exorts to a war criming nation. Did they have a problem like that when it came to Russia? Nope.

She has the.potential to be President yet doesn’t even want to offer this! It’s unreasonable that even the current US President won’t somehow find a legal way to stop weapons exports to a people literally committing war crimes on a daily basis by the admission of almost every expert worldwide on anything related to law, the UN, global health or humanitarian work.

It’s not because they are incapable. It’s because they have no spine. And worse they have somehow convinced people like you that it’s our of their hands.

Yeh because it’s just like having their dumb parents do homework for them

What kind of democracy is one where you can’t even criticize the candidate because “it’s not the right time” right before the elections when the candidates are forced to make changes to make the public happy? After they are in power, it’s another 4 years of BS, and by the third year the same cycle begins and you are not allowed to criticize your candidate.

She isn’t even promising it. She won’t do it nor ask Biden to do it. She is helping fund the genocide. Neither have spine.
