We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week

this guy is so utterly insane i dont know what to say. if this thing comes to fruition its gonna be a fun punching bag for literally every other country but this stuff is very sad to see, particularly as someone who wants to work in climate research/development in the future. the fact maybe one in 10000 of elons lackeys would do as much as a simple google to check what theyre even clowning on speaks volumes of how gross this shit is

speaking and typing are not comparable whatsoever

reminder that a new kind of ketamine was discovered in australia and although i cant find the quote users have supposedly described it as worse than the usual stuff

not sure if youve commented on the right post cuz your interpretation seemingly makes no sense. the article is not about hating immigrants, its about how absolutely dysfunctional and self-contradicting american policies are and how that affects americans as well as people trying to enter america.

in fact, the article makes it quite clear with

Conservative assertions about the issue, particularly those that painted immigration as an “invasion,” had failed to resonate with people on the border precisely because they knew better from living there.

that its people who dont deal with immigrants who seem to hate them the most (when it comes to republicans anyways). wonder if theres a word for that.

the article mentions multiple times that dealing with immigrants is not explicitly part of martinez’s job, but due to the nature of his position, both in terms of work and in terms of geography, its something that he has become accustomed to doing anyways and because of this he has a lot of first hand experience interacting with them and the point of the article is that immigrants deserve compassion and that the system is hell bent on denying them that, ultimately only causing problems for the american side of the border too, whether intentionally;

Later, the border became ground zero for Trump’s anti-immigration efforts, which involved separating children from their parents and forcing Central American asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico until they were given a date to appear in U.S. immigration court. Neither of those efforts had a lasting impact on the number of people arriving at the border, but they forced more immigrants to be stuck on the Mexican side for longer periods of time — and disruptions on the Mexican side of the border almost always ripple into the U.S. side.

or not;

The Trump administration tore down some of them to build sections twice as high of the “big, beautiful wall” he promised voters. But Trump left office before completing the project. Biden then came in and immediately paused construction, pledging to not build “another foot” of wall. In Del Rio, that meant that workers left stacks of construction materials behind and gaps between the panels of fencing wide enough for tractor-trailers to drive through them.

something something the road to hell is paved with good intentions

looking at your comment history its tempting to think youre trolling seeing as how you think the IDF displacing hundreds of thousands of palestinians, killing thousands of children and hundreds of volunteers is palestine “playing the victim”, but i digress

bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol
