  • What you’re pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain “illegal” , on purpose. In the first place, you’re the one creating the situation of them being “in the country illegally”.

    The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the “you’re on the table” argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it’s only one step after what’s happening to them already.

    Everyone can be illegal if you don’t make anyone legal and then claim they’re only getting punished because they broke the law. There’s nothing reasonable there.





  • We also know from that other study this summer that two groups of Neanderthals stayed in their respective cave system 10 days away from each other, for 50 000 years, and never interbred. People from the end of that 50 000 year period had the same gene pool as those from the beginning, and none from the neighbour group. 50 000 years of no one walking 10 days to clap cheeks. Until the extravert Sapiens jocks walked in and adopted an introvert Neanderthal to pull out of their cave and fuck for, apparently, some 5 000+ years, shortly before Neanderthal extinction (or assimilation of the hot ones into Sapiens I should say).

    That article pondered the difference in world views between the two, but yeah, autism works too.




  • Everyone seems to forget the second paragraph of the quote.

    No. The “as long as” does the necessary lifting there. Far-right rhetoric is a denial of reality and of any argument with a complete lack of shame or self-reflection, therefor this second part doesn’t apply.

    There was a time when we thought rational argumentation and logic were good enough to convince, but that has been dead for a few decades, and the US just paid that price.

    signed under duress

    I didn’t ask to be born the point is if you don’t sign the contract you’re not protected by it and you get no benefit, that’s not duress. If you sign it but break it, you pay. No one is forcing you to sign, but if you don’t, you can fuck off.
