Yes we are getting nailed to a wall. I am aware. He is antagonizing the Left into a religious ferver and then not actually following through, creating a monster by threatening them with a loss of power (by way of undoing their monopoly on illegal votes + welfare). Just read @Mike Brock's clown blog to see the type of Joker shit they are cooking up. It's gonna be like those gore movies... Saw, I think it was.

Meanwhile, even if the RW does obliterate today's gay globalist LW, the new Left/Right axis becomes: Zionist Israel/American Axis vs Populist Homeland Americans, which obviously results in a Palantir social credit surveillance state and a continuation of forever wars around the world. Regardless, the immediate threat of being flooded with illegals seems very bad for America, especially when you consider what it did to Europe. image

There is no way not to "be complicit" in some aspect of everything going on. Not taking action is taking action. Just like saving #Bitcoin is an attack on the fiat system, doing nothing while communists take over is an attack on your homeland as an American. Standing on the sidelines while you and your family become hyper diluted with foreigners is "being complicit". You know what I mean?

Building is a single track that does not exclude actors from "playing the board" elsewhere. I was able to write code and vote for Trump, knowing it might be better nut not really in the greater sense, but strategically it made sense. Similarly, I build things while also not preventing some basic prepping. Tracks exist and a single actor can play the board across multiple tracks. Not doing something in a track is doing something in that track: nothing.

Yes it is an attack on your homeland by the same ICE you are supporting. Given the same ICE shepherded them through the border two years ago, do you think they care about America, and what they are doing will remain against illegals only? Already, how many citizens have been caught in their dragnet, surveilled, searched, harassed, or worse? What happens when the commies are back with all this precedent set for them to build upon?

I read through many of the replies to this post, this is the one I liked the most. I agree. The focus should be elsewhere. A discussion about values is far more interesting than putting blame on anyone. I've thought about what values bitcoin operate best under. Judging by what's happening with BIP110, and every other "consensus debate", how we arrive at consensus changes. It's possible to extract the values that have shown to align people, and arrive at a solution that benefits everyone. Maybe we can extract those values together.
Why should Americans have to compete with illegal immigrants for jobs and housing? In the housing market immigration of all kinds drives up prices. In the labor market immigrants force Americans to compete with the entire world. Why is that a good thing in your mind? How do these examples not directly infringe on the notion of America being a nation?

Why should anyone in any country be forced to compete with immigrants/the world to get any job within their country? We don't need to compete. It doesn't benefit the citizens of the country. People are not interchangeable economic units. People are not just laborers. Please pitch to the lower economic third of any country that "prices going up is good for everyone" or how about pitch to the elderly living on fixed incomes that "prices going up is good for everyone" You're clearly a nihilist that thinks people don't matter.
The immigration debate is a complicated issue that intertwines legal & illegal immigration, the concern of cultural change, strain on the welfare system, the absurdly overcomplicated and expensive legal immigration process, the desire of native-borns to protect their jobs from competition, and a dozen other issues. Until people are willing to separate each of these concerns and address them one-by-one, we're not going to reach any form of clarity or consensus.
๐Ÿ’ฏ This is a good example of why I have always liked you. It depresses me that so many people fall for the state's bullshit. All they want is a population that is both divided and afraid so they can keep us enslaved while we cheer for our own enslavement. The state should scare people much more than anything else.
The US is not an economic zone open to the world. The US is more than Wall Street or GDP. It has had its own culture and people. Economy uber alles has hollowed out the middle class, raised rents and real estate prices and other prices, imported people who don't give a shit about what Americans value (see 2nd Amendment). There must be limits on who comes here, like in the past. Biden let 20 million in,in 4 years (!) mostly no skills people who cannot speak or read English. These were cynically let in to game voting system. The illegals all have to go back. It's the law. If you don't like it then get the law changed. Look at Ireland - the Irish government is replacing the native Irish with africans, pakis and Indians. People need to wake up and understand what's going on.

Communism reliies on compulsion, surveillance, punishment & central authority. It claims to be โ€œrule by the people, for the peopleโ€ Without individual rights, โ€œthe peopleโ€ cannot consent. There is no mechanism to distinguish cooperation from obedience. The collective becomes an abstraction weaponised by those in power. The moment individual rights fade, "the people" becomes a mask for authority. Communism cannot operate without suppressing individual rights. "Fumbling some key liberties", is the Communist reset. Wake up Neo.

Illegal immigration is already being used to trample the right of Americans. Allowing to people to live in your country that do not have permission to be there, while demanding changes in laws, demanding welfare benefits, allowing congressional representation based on populations of illegal immigrants, destroying the underlying cultural adhesion of Americans, calling Americans and Bigots when they oppose illegal immigration. If illegal immigration continues as it has been, it will destroy the United States of America. Tough times require tough decisions. People should read into Abraham Lincoln and all the rights that he suspended during the Civil War...
I think you have it wrong. From a law and policy creation standpoint, which affects the entire country negatively for years, that last one isnโ€™t at all in the same category as the others. And by the numbers illegals really do take more than they contribute. Thatโ€™s a major danger on welfare programsโ€”once you implement them it gives you the right and obligation to identify and surveil everyone to make sure those contributing get the benefit and that those who donโ€™t arenโ€™t stealing value they didnโ€™t create. Instead those funds were weaponized by opening the boarders to help 25+ years worth of illegals to enter in 4 years. So that they could vote in states who donโ€™t require id and to see chaos, to turn elections to then and grow socialist voter base and governmentโ€ฆ โ€ฆto trample on the rights of Americans. How else would you rapidly reverse this without doing what ICE is doing? Anytime you have law enforcement you have bad cops and casualties but when a burglar enters your home do you give them carte blanche to take your property because โ€œsomething tragic might happenโ€ or do you fight back because something tragic is being already underway? Ps. Did you know that in the last year homicide, rape and robberies actually have plummeted?
