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

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?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 8 points 1 year 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 42 points 1 year ago

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

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year 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

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.

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 18 points 1 year 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 24 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

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

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] peppersky@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

This shouldn't surprise anyone.
