@Kiki_gurema @AnneTraviosa Just realized you are Kenyan. You are a third worlder. You should be expelled from Europe, third worlder visa beggar.

@Bepis32 @AnneTraviosa 😅😅 look at how miserable you sound trying to prove a point to strangers on the internet

During my stay in South Korea, I've meet a Korean mom who wanted to take a pic of me with her tween blasian daughter. The girl told me how some of her classmates refused to talk to her, while they acted friendly with the other wasian girl of her class

@MeowForeveeer @aerinnsdiary @AnneTraviosa Lmao say whatever you want it won't change the fact that they did. That they got on hands and knees and had to beg like dogs because they had nothing of value back home. It's why America developed the internet and the Philippines :) It's why you're angry. You can't repay us.

@Bepis32 @aerinnsdiary @AnneTraviosa Whatever you say shit breath

@MeowForeveeer @aerinnsdiary @AnneTraviosa Nah unlike your parents don't have to beg for my visas because I'm not a third worlder.

@Bepis32 @aerinnsdiary @AnneTraviosa I wouldn’t be shocked if ur some poor little shit in Argentina or something

@aerinnsdiary @AnneTraviosa Grow a spine and quit boot licking people who hate you. You'll never be one of the good ones.

@Bepis32 @AnneTraviosa take ur own life pls

Being against interest has to be one of the most annoying slopulist positions

I don't give a shit what Inuit want. They are a cancer stymieing progress. They lobby the government to keep tax forms onerous.

Ok here goes: I was a full time Public Defender for over 6 years. I have been in private practice now (for the second time) for 16 years. I still take public defender cases on a contract basis and those cases make up about 15% of my practice. So since 2004 I have literally represented thousands of homeless clients and I can say the pathetic stories you have been told by the media, by TV & movies, and by those organizations that “help” the homeless is 100% BS. Let’s start: Claim 1) “You’re just one paycheck away from being homeless.” None, NONE, of the people chronically on the street were working and then were on the street after losing a good job. Less than 5% of the people who become homeless are there because of some personal tragedy like losing a job, a natural disaster, or a death in the family. Those that are homeless due to such an event do not stay homeless for long. They avail themselves of the MANY available services, both public and private, and are back on their feet within short order. These people help themselves and I know of no person who objects to assisting these folks as they help themselves and are just trying to get from point A to point B and then get back to supporting themselves. BUT, if you listen to the media, entertainment, and the homeless assistance grifters, this 5% represents ALL chronically homeless families folks. It’s a lie. Claim 2) “If you give the homeless free or subsidized housing they will soon be supporting themselves as responsible citizens” Absolute BS. 100 % of the chronically (not temporarily) homeless fall into 2 categories: A) those that are severely mentally ill &/or drug addicted B) People that just do not want to work, pay rent, or live as responsible human beings. I have a LOT of personal experience with both groups but let me begin with Group B. I have seen hundreds of these types and no matter what assistance is offered them, they only avail themselves of any help long enough to get some money and a warm bed for a bit, and then are back to “flying a sign” at an intersection. They don’t WANT to work a steady job. They don’t WANT to be responsible for paying rent or a mortgage or bills. They don’t WANT to live like normal folks. They want to get money by begging and then go buy booze or drugs and party at the homeless encampment at night. They literally live like perpetual hippies. Many of them can stand in the hot sun for 8 hours at a time taking money for suckers so they have the ability to work for a living BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO! They even work out shifts at the street corners with their buddies. One dude is there till lunch, one dude works the afternoon. “Flying a sign” is the grift. “Homeless vet” “Down and out” “Got laid off” You’ve all seen them. It’s. A. Grift. You are being conned. Big cities shuffle these guys to other cities by giving them free bus trips. Hundreds of homeless in southwest Missouri are shipped here every month from cities like Chicago and Memphis. They move from town to town and get free meals, clothes, bus passes, and other goodies and find a new intersection and a new camp and restart the grift over and over. To get transitional housing they would need to keep a regular job and not drink and not do drugs. They don’t want that. These folks are not alcoholics or addicts in the clinical sense, they just want to live off the charity of others and party at night. They are like perpetual teenagers and they never grow beyond that mentally as long as there are enough suckers to subsidize their lifestyle. The organizations that help the homeless, even religious ones, exist for federal & state grant money. They get more funding for every homeless person they “help.” They have zero incentive to make their “assistance” dependent upon a homeless person making any responsible changes. Thus the more homeless assistance organizations you have in your town, the more homeless people you will have. The cycle never ends Continued

WARNING GRAPHIC: These are the consequences of importing the third world. Do not look away.

Self determination subordinate to American interests is the hallmark see also: Kurds, Guantanamo, Hawaii, or manifest destiny. We should be benevolent but we are not required to set ourselves on fire to keep others warm. Puerto Rico is ours, and we should keep the status quo, it's helpful that the islanders want this too, but not required. We should not make it a state. It's American self determination that comes first. I follow the one China policy. It's useful to us that the ROC maintains de facto independence but the PRC absolutely has a (if not the) legitimate claim and I have no doubt given Hong Kong's GDP, HDI, life expectancy, and crime rate, that they would be competent administrators. We should take a page from them.

@Bepis32 @nazzobetweeting this disdain for the opinions of people who actually live there is basically exactly how china justifies its ahistorical claims over taiwan btw self-determination is a hallmark of this american-led world order. your statement is fundamentally anti-american.

i don’t think it’s any of our place to determine what puerto rico should be. puerto ricans have repeatedly voted against independence in the past and it isn’t woke or noble to impose something on them they are not looking for. let puerto ricans self-determine. it’s not for us to decide

@cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie It helps them and society by not allowing them to simply destroy themselves and by holding them accountable; just allowing them to do as they please is both harmful to them and society at large. Riding transit in San Francisco is less pleasant than Nagoya.

i’m not in japan but i have spent a lot of time there and the culture is entirely different. that’s the biggest thing stopping drug use. but people can and do still use illegal drugs and it’s not that hard to find them. i’ve also been to countries with much stricter drug enforcement and you can still very easily find illegal drugs. in america they even imprison you for weed, and yet it has the deadliest drug problem on the planet. criminalisation does not work, it only makes users less safe. users who are almost always suffering from mental health problems and need to be helped, not punished.

I know there are lots of practical obstacles to this but everyone would be so much better off if the junkies could self police a little bit. Like the way fishermen get mad at other fishermen for leaving monofilament around.

@cityleaver @cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie From a 2024 nation wide study in SG for those 15-64 found "The lifetime prevalence of consuming illegal drugs was 2.3% (95% CI 1.9–2.8)" now compare that to the US annals.edu.sg/prevalence-of-…

@Bepis32 @cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie it’s not effective in singapore stop talking about something you know nothing about LOOL people in singapore are so desperate for substances that they vape etomidate and ketamine instead of just smoking weed like the rest of the world regards, a singaporean

@cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie I agree that it's culture, but we should make that culture stricter not more permissive. I'm tired of seeing needles in my city. I don't deny that there are drug users in Japan but the rates are far lower. your claim that they lock people up for weed is an extreme exaggeration

@cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie The United States has far laxer laws in regards to drug use and in return, we have much higher rates of addiction and of overdose the meanwhile in Japan, Singapore, China, South Korea, Malaysia, and more it is a fraction less of the overdose per capita.

@cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie Saying that you can find illegal drugs in Japan or elsewhere, isn't an argument prohibition restricts access (it's anything alcohol consumption increased) and no in the US you're not just getting locked up for having weed but regardless the post above showed needles.

@cityleaver @cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie Singapore has roughly 30 opiate users per 100k, US is 600 and you have about 20 overdose deaths per year we tens of thousands. You are the one who doesn't understand what it's like here.

@cityleaver @cezthesocialist @ClwnPrncCharlie That's great, except we can see the rates of overdose death, as well as use proxy measurements like the price of certain drugs are you denying that it's easier to access drugs. Have you ever seen anyone overdose on a bus in Singapore? I've seen here.
