@xwanyex I am not sure of all the reasons why. But to think the norms were not different is being blatantly blind. Maybe this person is really young or has never watched NFL Films.
@RealDianeYap Ok why should an American citizen vote to be out competed? Its really strange the pitch pro immigration folks seem to make to citizens. I'd lead with "here is why immigration will be good for you and your descendants" maybe no one can make that case. . .
@HistoryBoomer Yep and most of that is WEIRD N. European particularly Anglo culture. The best countries in the world are based on it. Can we absorb large numbers of people from different cultures without harming it? I don't know, but since we have a pretty good thing going why risk it?
@mungowitz โ arrested for filming thugs with badgesโ is that really what happened? Maybe he still does not deserve to be arrested but thatโs not why it happened.
Thanks a lot fuckers! Now that no one wears suits anymore dudes that want to dress well are going to have to actually be creative and have taste! Fuck you! We had it so good, you didn't even have to think you just had to wear the fucking suit but nooooooo
@pineapple_rat@xwanyex Nah heโs right. Iโve been to most of those places and other similar ones. I had no trouble buying stuff I needed. Stores exist almost everywhere.
Iโll tell you another thing about this: Iโm pushing all my chips into the middle on the American people. Not on an idea, not a proposition, not on a constitution with a total different populace.
Iโm pushing it all in the middle on the fact that weโre pretty great. Literally us. Literally the people living here, not the idea of us, not different people living under similar laws. Iโm pushing it all in on us.
And I think weโll be fine.
But Iโll live or die, get rich or go broke, on that bet.
@xwanyex My wife likes to say the guardian angel prayer with them. โAngel of god my guardian dear to whom gods love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guideโ
@SeanTrende@dilanesper@BriannaWu It went on for decades in an environment where trans people did not have a โrightโ to be there but were generally tolerated if they didnโt make people uncomfortable. Then activist started pushing it as a right even if it did. Then you got pushback.
@JamesSurowiecki@memeticsisyphus But he was committing no other crime than being somewhere he was legally not allowed to be. I thought laws did not apply to such people.
@xwanyex Do they ever even think one step ahead. Pack the court to 13 next Dem, well next Republican packs to 15 and so on and so on. Court becomes meaningless as check on power.
@eigenrobot Pretty much. There are two coalitions that both suck. But one sucks and dislikes me the other sucks and likes me. Not that hard to decide who to ally with.
@HistoryBoomer Basically my view of what happened. This seems to be a fair take. I probably view the probabilities of the uncertainties a bit different, but acknowledge they are uncertainties.
