I don’t know if the blackmail argument even works. Because we live in a “post-truth era” where no one cares if a politician did something horrible, they just move on or get convinced otherwise.

I feel like every argument for supporting Israel is a little flimsy. It just boggles the mind why anyone wants to support such a shitty little country that exclusively does the absolute worst

You’re so smart for pointing out their mistake! Boy what a dumbass that commenter was to write all that and mess up that detail, it just ruins the whole argument completely

If anything they’re getting more tourism after the camps. Obviously now they’ve evolved beyond just housing Salvadorans, but their initial installation made the country a lot safer (at the cost of authoritarianism and unfair policing. Not trying to justify them, but the country is “technically” safer)

Hey I hear there’s a nice restaurant out there

Why they passing him around like hot potato 😭

Not surprising. AP always reports what happened. Not saying they’re unbiased and don’t receive support from the ultra-wealthy, but them and Reuters are always reliable sources

Yeah it makes you drive a lot slower which is inherently safer than drunk driving (even though you’re still under the influence). In my experience, I tend to have way too much fun drunk driving. High driving I’m either a little paranoid or chilled out so I’m driving safe. Drunk driving I get excited and do stupid shit.

Lowk I think the issue is when you’re an alcoholic cause you get complacent. An infrequent drunk driver is still a little on edge and doesn’t want to fuck up. An alcoholic drunk driver thinks it’s normal to drunk drive

Based asf. My friends tell me I drive safer when I’m high 😭

I know bro that’s why I’m asking the question. Like if I’m running a scam where someone is supposed to fall for a pretty girl, I’m gonna use a picture of a pretty girl. The fediverse chick is not it

people don’t realize (and don’t care) there’s an alternative. The point of the reddit app is to make it as easy as possible for someone to access and consume content. I realize it takes literally seconds to set up a lemmy account but it requires way more thinking to interact with this platform than being spoon fed from an algorithm

Yeah it just surprises me that so called capitalists and billionaires would put racism above money. Especially since illegal immigrants are working for basically no pay. Maybe they have an end goal where the disposable work force is entirely black ie return to slavery or close to it
