@CrownMaybe Arr you suggesting they have Biden level migration policy already?

Reflexive contrarian, tolerable in public only by the Grace of God. All else is vanity.

@Protestant_Monk Given the giant, deliberate gap in those walls, which is not exactly guarded by an elite Swiss Guard armored division, I think the much more trenchant (but less visually arresting) retort is, "And what exactly is the penalty for unauthorized entry to Vatican City?"
English
Note to everyone passing around this meme: This is not true. I know, I know: it's so good, it must be. The current walls around the Vatican stem from the inter-Italian wars of the late Renaissance through the modern era.
Carry on with your thoughts.
SOI media 🇬🇧@MediaSOI
Note to current the Pope Leo: The walls around the Vatican were ordered by Pope Leo IV and completed around 852 AD following devastating raids by Muslim Arab Raiders who sacked St. Peters Basilica. So please don’t lecture us on walls, Immigration, war or the virtues of Islam.

@The_5thEstate Speaking from personal experience, most Libertarians are either anti-social degenerates who just want to avoid accountability, or any capacity to organize resistance to a real threat because it's "too much centralized authority."
English
Most libertarians are mature enough to understand a individual must keep their hands to themselves. A lesson taught when we were all children. Seems to me conservatives and progressives intentionally forget this lesson in the vain attempt for political power and to make their enemies suffer. Libertarians apply strict discipline to violence and aggression and you call this a lack of maturity?
Wasson Watch Co.@WassonWatch
@ConceptualJames For most Libertarianism is a side quest on the way to maturity. Some people just never mature.

Between Hasan and Fuentes/Tucker, we're watching the emergence of a new Podcast Consensus: - Russia and China are good - America is evil - Islam is good - Israel runs America What separates the "left" from the "right" is, as far as I can tell, how you feel about trans people

@ChristianHeiens Underrated feature of Jamestown and the Frontier in general, is people were allowed to fail up to the point of death. That weeds out a lot of dead weight.
English
America is great because until very recently, the descendants of those who have proven themselves to be incapable of operating a functioning country have largely not been imported into ours.
When the English settled at Jamestown in 1607, did the magic soil of Virginia convert them into Native Americans? Did they become Powhatan Indians?
No. They remained Englishmen, even after traveling over 3,000 miles from England. They retained the English language, the English Protestant faith, English customs and culture, English common law, and English ways to organize their cities and towns.
Immigration doesn’t automatically confer assimilation, and unchecked migration guarantees that will never happen.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Terrible way to think about migration since we are getting those self-selecting for America. The migrants aren’t in control of their societies, so they leave. Also, their descendants assimilate when they get here and find out how great it is.

CHARLIE VS. THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, a new animated film starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi, is coming to Netflix.
Willy Wonka has returned to his factory after years behind bars for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world, only one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley and a new generation of "rotten" kids.

@ChristianHeiens This guy is rich. He's all like "drop the race stuff"
Then in the very NEXT POST it's "Jewish agitprop."
Pick one bro, your commie brethren already did.
English
You may as well ask the Bolsheviks not to overthrow the Bourgeoisie or liquidate the Kulaks, because the Left’s hatred for White men is the exact same thing.
The Left has to continue with “the race stuff” because without it they wouldn’t exist. There is no other way for them to explain group disparities or differences in outcomes other than to conclude that White men have constructed a system that actively harms minorities.
If the Left ever dropped this, they’d disappear as a political faction.
Will Sexton@vrilliumlive
My message to the left as their ‘enemy’ (A young white man) Cut the race stuff & we’d be with you…

@vrilliumlive LoL. "Drop the race stuff"
Also, "The Jooooooz!™"

If you seriously believe that the average Al Gore voter Democrat is an avowed race Maoist idk what to tell you. You’re loaded up on jewish agitprop.
The vast majority of the American public is centrist.

@travis4nh The only action is to maintain a sliver of society passing down the Old Ways.

@travis4nh Read up Rat Utopia Universe25. Largesse causes mass die-offs within a few generations as hyper-abundance removes biological pressure to reproduce. With no one to maintain the AI systems, collapse reverts Earth to the self-supported independent few who didn't forget how to build.

I actually think we will have UBI in 20 years.
Going to be very interesting to watch the cognitive bottom 50% spend their money on weed, motor toys, and gambling, next 40% on cruises and theme parks, and the rest on art, tools, gardening, books.
Real H.G. Wells / Huxley stuff.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
English
@travis4nh UBI has been a civilizational disaster everywhere it's been tried.

@DanielDiMartino No one cares. We don't want the totally unjustified flood of H1-Bs either.

Fun fact: The much maligned Dignity Act requires ALL employers to use E-Verify and fines them severely if they don't.
NumbersUSA@NumbersUSA
States requiring E-Verify saw up to an 83% reduction in illegal alien presence, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. It works because it holds employers accountable and eliminates the jobs magnet that encourages illegal immigration. Does your state require E-Verify?

@s_erose @sourpatchlyds @thechosenberg If you're lack of faith in medicine is that low, you should stick to home birth. I doubt *most* husbands have that much impact on treatment options.
English
@Protestant_Monk @sourpatchlyds @thechosenberg And what was the death rate like for women in labour and babies 60 years ago? Part of being present in the hospital room is being able to advocate on mum’s behalf. Her partner can ensure birth plans are kept to & might notice that something is off with mum before the nurse does.

@theboyisdamon @maryarchived Nikelodeon... same difference.

she looks *not human* in a way that mainly actresses do now. she cannot play a ‘normal person’ but playing a magical fairy witch would work just fine

First trailer for ‘FOCKER IN-LAW’, starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Ariana Grande. In theaters on November 25.

@ChristianHeiens Amazing how many people believe they are special enough to survive burning it all down, and could just wander the ashes in "freedom."

Accelerationism is the slave morality of politics.

@AngryFatYtGuy @GBNT1952 @stelzner_n1150 Sure, but it never stays on that angle. Most of the people complaining have Israel rent-free in their brain, ignoring the Arab and ChiCom influences
English
@GBNT1952 @stelzner_n1150 Can we all agree our politicians shouldn’t take money from ANY foreign interests?
English
I will vote against anyone who has received money from AIPAC.

@sourpatchlyds @thechosenberg Making dad stick around for **everything** is a modern conceit, birth was women's business up until like 60 years ago.

@thechosenberg Unforgivable. His kid could have died in the interim.

If you think our government doesn't employ reams of people in pointless jobs purely as an inefficient subsidy, try dealing with any government worker who is having a bad day and can't be fired.
English
As outside GC to micro- and small businesses, and former assistant outside GC to medium and some larger, I'm here to tell you that the idea that every job given is because the worker is providing productive value scales less-likely as the company's size increases.
Chasing Ennui@rwlesq
Even after the death of its author, "Bullshit Jobs" remains a cancer on the discourse. It was perhaps the most incurious book I have ever read (strictly speaking, I only read the first third). Companies are not "subsidizing" anyone. If they are hiring someone to do something, there is almost certainly a reason beyond "we wanted to give this random person money." If you can't figure out why, it is probably a problem with you.
