But the libs told me that fascism can only arrive if Trump wins?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 65 points 5 months ago

America is a profoundly diseased society. What kind of sick, unfeeling nation reaches the point of denying membership to people born within its borders because of their parents? What the hell?

[-] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 43 points 5 months ago

A settler colony based on white supremacy

[-] huf@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

america is a diseased society, but most countries in the world dont give citizenship to people born on their soil. instead, they give citizenship based on "blood" descent. the place of birth system is most common in the new world.

so yeah, the US moving towards the norm is bad, but the norm is bad and the US is still better in this sense than most countries. weird shit.

So if the parents have immigrated somewhere and have a child there while not having citizenship themselves, they have to go to an embassy and do a bunch of paperwork or something? Weird that someone could be a citizen of a country they've never been to.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 points 5 months ago

Yes generally. If a couple in India are living in France (without being citizens) and have a kid there, they'd submit the child's vital documents to the Indian embassy in France or possibly mail them to India so an Indian passport can be issued.

damn at this rate the democrats will barely have to propagandize to prime the libs to accept climate refugees being "turned back" at the border doomjak

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 46 points 5 months ago

I mean Dems have been supporting that for decades, but also the Sins of this Guilty Nation etc etc

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 44 points 5 months ago

clear example of the political ratchet effect hauling the overton window rightward, and Dems are clearly complicit in the process no matter how much they claim otherwise

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 41 points 5 months ago

They’re anti immigration but won’t change any policies to reduce poverty and suffering and exploitation, so they’ll keep coming and coming. I wonder how many Americans are aware and would rather just be reactive than reduce their treats or they simply are incapable of thinking 2 steps ahead and don’t understand the correlation. Or perhaps they think the American lifestyle is natural and exists out of pure willpower and anyone can do it.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

In my personal experience people are just too shortsighted and/or unwilling to accept the fact that the system of neo-colonial exploitation has lead to mass migration.

Anytime I even start talking about systemic issues people just jump back to the personal responsibility bullshit that they've been propagandized to default to.

It doesn't help that all mainstream news media constantly drills the idea that there are migrants are dangerous gangsters to are out to hurt the poor wittle and pure whites and you've got a recipe for anti-migrant fervor.

[-] Red_Eclipse@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

In my experience they have no fucking clue how their treats are made. Everything is disconnected from everything else and happens in a vacuum. Random people are just showing up to the border to take advantage, no context or anything. They just fell out of a coconut tree. volcel-kamala

Most leftest president since FDR biden-leftist

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

When they said "FDR 2" they meant "he'll do racist concentration camps again"

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I suppose he's at least making it easier to agitate for actual leftism if only because of how brazenly terrible he and his party are

They used to keep the mask on a bit more

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 5 months ago

The more I see the more I think that the US and EU won't have a revolution they'll just balkanize and spiral into endless cannibalistic violence

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 27 points 5 months ago

Don't be so cynical!

It can't literally be endless, we'll all be dead eventually. 👍

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 5 months ago

Damn you're right thanks for making me see the bright side of it!

Unlimited genocide on the first world

[-] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

europe is already balkanized, they never could put together a truly large polity after the romans... the only thing that saved their bacon was stealing everything they could from the rest of the world, and they fucked that up too.

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago

I won't be happy until all German landers are fully independent, Catalonia fully split, Corsica fully autonomous, and Brittany in a new Celtic anti-imperialist alliance with reunited Ireland and Scotland

[-] huf@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

oh why not go further? a homeland for rusyns, a free picardy, split belgium, italy gone back to being normal italy, hungary split entirely between slovakia and romania.

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

That's what I'm talking about

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

"Western"/Euroid society made the choice of barbarism and reaction in 1989-1991. We are paying the price for this decision, now and in the future.

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

They told us they'd push Biden left. Turns out, Biden pushed them right.

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 5 months ago

Newton's third law lmao. If you try to push Biden left, he'll push you right.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

Maybe burgerlanders will finally figure out that the constitution doesn't ”guarantee” anything.

[-] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

“Vote Biden to fight fascism”

Lame Deer (Tȟáȟča Hušté) has pretty much the same complaints I have about this kkkracker ass country. (White supremacy, gross pollution of the land, capitalism, passive and active racism against ndns etc)

The difference between him and I, is that boomers and liberals are quick to jump down my throat and tell me to (in essence) shut the fuck up because you're an ungrateful kid

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 9 points 5 months ago

The only americans that can unironically want mass deportation are native americans.

[-] peppersky@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

This shouldn't surprise anyone.
