Why not, and im spitballing here, make America great?
Because DWS rigged the 2016 primaries
I cut my teeth in left circles doing illegalist social work in a couple parts of northern california 15 or so years ago. Every experienced person who worked with unhoused populations knew theres a certain kind of people who get made victims at a shocking rate. Those really deranged out-there people usually with severe addictions who nobody would believe often had stories about police kidnapping them and holding them in foreclosures to torture them for a while, often with injuries to match. Everybody knew about the chicago pd making it formal with homan square and the various shit they get up to. Every department does it in their own way.
Earlier this year i had to spend some time in los angeles without much to do. I decided to get a feel for the streets. I noticed three in one long day of layover, wandering the city. One eye and two fingers, taken relatively clean and cauterized. Each on a different person. Three in one day, just wandering around. Just me. None of them commented. All the injuries looked within the past couple days, still black on the edges with little red fissures. The one I asked looked scared, tried to talk about anything else. I didnt even have to wonder where they came from.
Half of every municipal budget funds this. I don't know what percentage of the fed budget goes to funding the exploding of schools, international torture prisons, and the suppression of renewable energy along with other fossil fuel subsidies.
So what about that is fixable? The way they manage natural resources? Their vibrant healthy cultural practices? Their intellectual tradition? American cuisine? Their beautiful and unique architecture? You want to save america, what the fuck are you saving? Apple pie? The dutch do it better. Jazz? The best jazz musicians havent been from here since 1991; the soviet union still existed.
The land; that stuff that votes? I guess thats pretty cool. Got some good nature left, but clock's ticking on all that.
Fuck america. Any dozen randon people who aren't wholly owned could make something better.

How has Ben's head not caved in from his phenomenal lack of brain?
It's supported by the structural integrity of his incredibly thick skull
The acoustics in his head must be phenomenal.
It's just empty, it's not a vacuum.
Its not a lack of a brain. Its a complete lack of empathy. That is the root cause of most of this shitshow we are in right now.
It’s more than that. I’m friends with a diagnosed sociopath. Zero empathy whatsoever. And he is 100% without a doubt the most dependable and moral person I know. He always keeps his word, is always willing to lend a hand if needed, and is a champion for things like harm reduction as public policy - Gun laws, drug reform, police reform, bodily autonomy, etc… As a teen, he went through a satanist moral philosophy kick, and basically came to terms with the fact that empathy isn’t required for objective morality. Each person can choose to do good, simply because it is the right thing to do. I fully believe that he’d be a serial killer (or at least some high powered CEO who ruins lives for the people that work in his company) without that philosophy.
It actually makes him angry when conservatives do and say shit like this… Because he sees it as a complete moral failing on their part, not a lack of empathy. Basically the difference between “you’re doing bad things because you can’t understand others” and “you’re doing bad things because you refuse to do better.”
The former could be used as a crutch to explain bad actions, but he absolutely rejects that possibility because his lived experience has taught him that understanding or empathizing with others isn’t a requirement for morality. So he basically falls back to the opposite of Hanlon’s Razor, where he refuses to accept stupidity as a blanket excuse for malicious actions.
Stupidity can be used as an excuse for individual actions. “Oops, sorry I bumped into you. I wasn’t watching where I was going.” But it doesn’t work for explaining a long term pattern of behavior where the person has had opportunities to learn and improve. The headline statement is not an isolated incident where it can be explained away with stupidity or a lack of empathy. It’s more like “I go out of my way to shoulder-check people.” And that’s an intentional pattern of behavior, not an accident.

Ben's yarmulke game is on point like usual. Tiny, and the exact shade as his hair so that the anti-Semites in his target demographic won't see it, but he's still technically dressed the way his religion tells him to.
He could of course, choose not to court the types of people that turn out to be antisemitic, but you know, that would involve not making everything worse.
Why is anyone giving this shitheel attention?
Emigrate to, immigrate from.
edit: I'm still confused but probably wrong here.
You got that backwards.
Do I ? Emigrating is going away, immigrating is coming in, right?
Right, so you're emigrating from America and you're immigrating to, say, Zimbabwe.

You flipped it, that's the opposite of what you said initially.
So in other words emigrating from (going away from) and immigrating to (coming in to), i.e. your initial comment is backwards.
You got it right this time, but not in the original comment.
Were you stoned when you typed it? Are you still stoned?
Yeah, it's why your country has plenty of immigrants, but you never seem to run into any of your emmigrants. Or for the linguistic reason i- as a prefix can mean into and e- as a prefix can mean out of in latin, coming from the Latin words in and ex meaning in and out

Yes, you are correct
I'm emigrating from the USA and I am immigrating to Iran.

It's wild that the "land of the free, home of the brave" let a bunch of incel basement dwelling grifter losers take over and tank the nation.

Remove the "here" from the end and you just have current republican policy
They fucked up that country so bad, him and his allies, I kinda agree with him (it disgusts me to say that). You don't want to go down with that sinking ship. Get the fuck out.
If America has failed to provide paths to success for it's own citizen, it's because the very successful have destroyed those paths, not because Americans have failed. The end of this thinking is America is inhabited only by very rich people and slaves, regardless of whether they are citizens or not. This thinking will kick out the tired, the poor, the huddled American masses yearning to be free that it created. Shapiro and co are absolutely incapable of compassion or empathy except in their own self interest.
Yup! America is for the sick and the rich. If you ain't a rich pedo, they don't want you.
How can the same folks who can't afford to live afford to emigrate again?

that's not how it works though.
No, but that's how they think it goes to get into America. They think you just kind of walk in and sit down like a cafe.

He needs fuck off to Israel
Canada's full, fuck off please. Thank you.
On average it isn't any cheaper to live in Canada, Canada does offer more social services at least.
Classic Canada, such jokers; anyay, is your couch a foldout?
