People seem to take my position and always think I apply it on the micro level when in reality my views are more macro centered. And just because it isn’t innately tied into accepted mainstream interpretation. It isn’t meant to be malicious it’s meant to be self preservation and self vigilance. Considering there are elements within groups that are acting for their interest at the expense of others. And if they want to play that game we need to be wary of it if we care for what we have and we care for who we are. We need to take a stand or ensure a standard or we will be lost.

They're not refugees

2019-12-04 21:25:17 UTC  

It's a loaded term to deliberately evoke the type of sympathy you're wanting us to show.

2019-12-04 21:25:19 UTC  

I know that.

2019-12-04 21:25:21 UTC  

They're not.

@Ares Your double standards are showing. You tell us to revolt against laws that hand over free shit to immigrants... Yet you don't ask the immigrants to revolt in their own countries against their shitty rulers who created their squalor and poverty in the first place... You know TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for their country.

2019-12-04 21:25:28 UTC  

But they keep being called refugees, or asylum seekers,

2019-12-04 21:25:36 UTC  

Any term that loads them as an identifiable group with a status of victimhood.

2019-12-04 21:25:41 UTC  

Because victims can't be bad people.

2019-12-04 21:25:42 UTC  

I didn't say I wasn't

2019-12-04 21:25:49 UTC  

I say it to them all the time

2019-12-04 21:26:23 UTC  

The thing is that they have confirmation bias

2019-12-04 21:26:27 UTC  

List of bad things:
Extreme leftists
Open borders
Welfare states
Claiming to be a refugee when you aren’t
*and*
Judging people based on their race instead of their ideology

2019-12-04 21:26:31 UTC  

Everyone knows at least a few people who've moved abroad

2019-12-04 21:26:33 UTC  

And then is posited the idea that we are obligated to help victims, and because victims can't be bad people, we can't argue against their influx. This has been mostly a European problem since 2015 but I've seen similar trends in the US.

2019-12-04 21:26:36 UTC  

@Ares If so, then stop making excuses for them as they flee the responsibilities of their own country in favor of getting free shit in someone elses.

2019-12-04 21:26:42 UTC  

And they don't want to say that their friends and family are bad

2019-12-04 21:26:57 UTC  

Eh, ethnicity in my view is as important as ideology.

2019-12-04 21:27:11 UTC  

Individuals from a foreign place can assimilate without issue.

2019-12-04 21:27:19 UTC  

Blocs of hundreds of thousands or even millions can't.

2019-12-04 21:27:24 UTC  

And they won't.

2019-12-04 21:27:24 UTC  

*pops head up*

2019-12-04 21:27:30 UTC  

Ethnicity is very very important. If you don't live in Europe you probably don't know that but it is

2019-12-04 21:27:40 UTC  

I live in Britain.

2019-12-04 21:27:50 UTC  

And I am fully apprised of the importance of my heritage.

2019-12-04 21:28:02 UTC  

Even if most of my country is ignorant or fearful of any such recognition.

2019-12-04 21:28:06 UTC  

@livid_scrooge hey cutie ❤️

2019-12-04 21:28:09 UTC  

Every second you're talking about this BS is every second you're not talking about me

2019-12-04 21:28:11 UTC  

Americans have a hard time getting it though, because they only know Mexicans other than themselves

2019-12-04 21:28:14 UTC  

Cultures are created by peoples.

2019-12-04 21:28:23 UTC  

And whilst the culture can itself sustain the people.

2019-12-04 21:28:27 UTC  

It cannot survive the loss of it.

2019-12-04 21:28:38 UTC  

@livid_scrooge Every second I'm on this server is a second not spent snuggling with you, cutie ❤️

2019-12-04 21:29:11 UTC  

I remember hearing about anti-Honduran demonstrations in Mexico and how it didn't make mainstream news in the US.

2019-12-04 21:29:23 UTC  

Because it was inconceivable that brown people wouldn't be on the same side.

2019-12-04 21:29:23 UTC  

ha
