What I never understand about mass migration, which is completely miserable, is that there seems to be this implicit sentiment of "this must happen". But still, after 50 years or whatever, it is never explained why it must happen. They always just cycle through different arguments: aging population, payback for colonization, diversity, cuisine, humanitarianism. You can never get a read from politicians, academics, artists, activists etc. You cannot look inside their minds. They only offer glimpses. And yet, they're deeply invested in this process taking place.
And they constantly have to live with tremendous cognitive dissonance, as their designs are obviously at odds with bringing about a pleasant and harmonious society.
Tbh, it gives rise to a lot of anxiety in me, the fact that our elites are so unknowable, a black box. Like you have just absolutely no idea what they actually want. They just seem insane, but cloaked in the aesthetics of technocratic neoliberalism, which makes them seem relatively normal or well-adjusted, even though they are actually retarded and malevolent.
@lymanstoneky It’s just really stupid. Why are we even entertaining the idea, rather than something more means-tested, like reducing SS payments if you make over a certain amount?
We’re drowning in debt, 2/3rds of the federal budget goes to entitlements, but sure let’s give seniors more money!
@KrispWithTheK Brother it regularly goes from 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 32 in the summer and below freezing in the winter here. We do just fine in both conditions.
You are coping so hard rn
@romanhelmetguy Know when to be protectionist and when to be a free-market capitalist. Economic policy is a means to an end, no policy is correct in all circumstances
@JunkScience The real red flag is actually that a majority disapproves of Trump's handling of the southern border, one of his flagship accomplishments. No way a majority disapproves of that.
@IQWrestler I like what the announcer says at 1:24 "These guys have come here not only to fight, but also to put on a show"
Contrast with the Muslim guys who just sit on their opponent for a few minutes and are then declared the champions today
