how nefarious foreigns hurt the indigenous people

Feeling very proud of my immigrant powers rn.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link

I guess we could look to Japan, a famously low immigration society, their economy has only been stagnating since ... 1990

Worth it to maintain a pure ecosystem, amirite?

pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 01:41 (three years ago) link

Kind of struggling to see where gyac got "nefarious foreigns" from MORE legal immigration, but on a level playing field and one that makes citizenship easier to attain rather than a dual-track guest worker type system.

probably your defending of Sanpaku and then laughing at people who’ve explained upthread why the points being raised are so concerning, happy to help

the fact that it's become a liberal (in the left-liberal sense) thing to tout "a global economy defined by free trade" is deserving of ridicule and scorn. It's exactly what's wrong with Democrats today.

I really like Pete Buttigieg and think his rise in politics is a happy development, I'm not even sure that's a conservative belief but it's definitely uncool

xp I was referring to the human cost of that kind of rhetoric, as mentioned by Jim.

im not "touting it "and am not a liberal. the issue is that you can't opt out from existing in the global economy, so the stance of "just don't take part in trade deals like everyone else" doesn't really hold water for me. the Lexit argument in the uk, which didn't have many adherents, was of this ilk. the argument goes something like"

opt out of the crony capitalist organization the EU
??????
socialism in the UK and better pay and standards of living for workers

i wanna weigh in on Sankaku man alive vs jim immigration debate but im submitting a paper tonight so it’ll have to wait a day or 2 but tl;dr jim is correct (although imo it’s way out of line to call them fascists). there’s actually virtually no evidence that immigration pushes down wages. it’s depressingly ironic to me that hurting and sampaku are using the same simplistic “demand and supply” arguments that i bang my head against the wall at conservative labor economists for using. however as per usual u are all way too up your own asses with the “no you’re the neoliberal” “actually we should abolish the nation state and have a
global communist order” “and yet you live within a nation state” circular oneupmanship to understand anything

flopson, Wednesday, 16 December 2020 18:28 (three years ago) link

I only called Sanpaku a fascist. I don't think man alive is a fascist. I do think Sanpaku is a fascist and it's not out of line.

socialism is international or it's meaningless.

I think this is why there are a lot of "liberals" and "moderates" ... they have concluded that it is impossible to have international socialism and thus it is meaningless, and hence, we make do

We would like to remind you that the designation, "fascist" should be reserved for actual fascists such as Hitler.

Viele Dank

Feel no qualms about labeling Sanpaku a fascist, whatsoever.

Dear silby,

Please reconsider your qualms

Sorry ums, uncool but not really conservative imo

dogs are given way too much leeway in public. people who have their dogs off-leash in any public area aside from strictly designated and fenced-in places like dog parks are savages imo.

All the frozen dog piss I saw on my walk today did make me feel a little uncool

loose Orwellian mobs (rob), Wednesday, 16 December 2020 22:03 (three years ago) link

I thought it was cool how people routinely bring their dog to the pub in the UK. It helps that they're better behaved than in any other country I've been to, like nary a bark.

I think schools should be way more open than they are, is that still a conservative belief?

I think there is some theoretically possible but realistically fantasy world where the risk calculus could favor schools mostly being open, even with things being not that great overall, unfortunately we fucked up pretty much step along the way to making that happen

k3vin k., Thursday, 17 December 2020 05:33 (three years ago) link

nah, it favors them mostly being open today
