That's Capitalism you're mad at, not immigrants....
Not really, you're mad at capitalism, I personally hold no rage to 'immigrants'. I hold rage towards the lazy ignorant selfish citizens in our world that sit by as we get sold out. I feel rage towards people that don't care as the free-world dies.
Where I live we have democracy. We have the ability to invoke change. We have the ability to stand up and defend the rights, and the futures of others. We have the ability to progress as a society. I think blaming Capitalism is absurd. If people can't come together to agree on positive change, it's not about 'the system' it's fundamentally about the people in the system.
Well I encourage you to look into why it is that people don't actually have the ability to stand up and defend the rights, and the futures of others.
Hint: the answer begins with C, ends in M, and the former USA is a textbook perfect example of how it ends.
To be fair, capitalism itself isn't exactly it. It's unbridled capitalism. But because the people who benefit most from unbridled capitalism will spend a bunch of their excess money convincing people like you unbridled capitalism is just the best.....we end up here.
Here's the problem I see with your perspective. We do have regulatory processes, we do have access to democratic processes, we do have freedom of expression, we do have civil rights. People instead choose to invest themselves in bipartisanship. I don't see how your argument holds up. Our country has things like gerrymandering that corrupt the process, but on a basic level... people don't care.
I think you're wearing star spangled tinted glasses if you really believe everything you just wrote. I believe you have the illusion of those things, nothing more.
I encourage you to read about the "dual state" theory which is absolutely spot on in my opinion.
From my perspective, you are likely an example of someone who was successfully convinced capitalism is infallible by the people who benefit by far the most.
