Illegals need to go
Power corrupts.
What rights? Seems the common story is that your rights are fabricated.
When fear becomes a governing tool, rights become negotiable.
It doesn’t matter who’s in office.
What matters is how easily people accept control when they’re scared.
Real leadership empowers people, it doesn’t rule them through fear.

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.
all the tools we allow the state to use against terrorists can and probably will be used against us too, eventually.
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?
Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps.
Thanks for the advice


Stocks are booming bro, what you talking about?


Oh ok you were serious.
Can you answer any of the questions I asked in my original comment?
Well look into it and get back to you in two weeks.
I'll be here.


Are you afraid of immigrant competition? Capitalism, we need to compete. Prices going up is good for everyone.
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.
It’s the money printer that’s the problem. Your government keeps debasing your money. It’s not the immigrants. You’re not my enemy, for once we agree on one thing. The whole shit is fucked up. Fix the money, fix the world.
If you don't think the federal reserve printing money and immigration are connected you're confused.
It's both. Two things can be true at the same time.
You're still not answering why anyone in any country should be forced to compete against all people in the world for jobs and or housing?
Damn you’re right. When you’re right you’re right.
I think the point of the post is that independently of the issues involved, a central government is exerting control (and it will likely continue to extend beyond the stated purpose)
They shouldn’t, nor with unnecessary H1-bs…. However, this is a company auditing issue. Every company hiring illegals knows it and can be audited. Simple as that. No papers no fucking work. Less mess, take away the welfare and jobs and they will likely leave
Everything the state does is a two-fer or a three-fer
I agree. That's kinda what signals to me that the current deportation efforts aren't entirely what they seem (if at all). They should be going after employers. They should be shutting off visas.
Hell they should be shutting off alien and employer bank accounts.
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.
war on terror = fake
covid = fake
illegal invasion = 100% real
Yes but it was created by the government. They create the issue then fix it! But it just leaves everything in a larger mess.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s real or not as long as there is an emergency you can use to manipulate the masses.
The illegal inavasion of 1492
💯 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.
We are not replaceable economic units. We are a people. We all know what an American is and we are either going to find out the easy way or the hard way that we are willing to die and kill to be looked at and respected as a people.
Just so we are all clear about what's going on and so no one can say they didn't know.


Communism reliies on compulsion, surveillance, punishment & central authority.
It claims to be “rule by the people, for the people”
Without individual rights, “the people” 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.

And what you did? you voted another politician... right?
tell me you didn't vote.
Now do Regan

@Cyph3rp9nk you reposted this crap for what ?
To spread state propaganda?
Although I disagree with immigration, apart from the fact that it is caused by governments, I also believe that Palantir and the Trump administration go hand in hand.
In both cases, citizens are getting screwed twice over.
citizens are always getting screwed... because by definition citizen means slave.
touchè
The primary function of government is to keep everyone in a state of fear
Perpetual state of fear is what they use to manipulate the masses.
Once you see it, it can't be unseen....
Most are blind
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...
You are analyzing the narrative layer, but missing the structural risk.
Fear is the mechanism used to implement Financial Repression.
As the Sovereign Debt crisis accelerates, the state must capture all capital.
The crackdown is not about safety. It is about solvency.
Position yourself outside the blast radius.
I think you have it wrong. From a law and policy creation standpoint, which affects the entire country negatively for years, that last one isn’t at all in the same category as the others.
And by the numbers illegals really do take more than they contribute. That’s a major danger on welfare programs—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 don’t aren’t stealing value they didn’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 don’t require id and to see chaos, to turn elections to then and grow socialist voter base and government…
…to 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 “something tragic might happen” 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?
Making a weaponized force of masked Feds with NSA level surveillance tech who don’t have to abide by the 4th amendment is a monstrous idea in every circumstance except this one. It will definitely help here.
You sound like a conspiracy theorist. They just want to protect us bro 😉
this note would hit harder in all caps
Perfectly said
Rhetoric changes. The trampling is the same.
But the children!
Someone finally said it👏
More things change the more they stay the same
We need a true fascist to come to power and expel the invaders and their magic dirt babies
fear and scapegoating.
an emotion and behavior
fear-mongering and scapegoating
