It really was weird to me, seeing Crowder being so puzzled at Yusef stating that he's not a liberal. Many socialists don't consider themselves liberal, and nearly every Communist certainly wouldn't consider themselves liberal. After all,
'Liberals get the bullet too'
Noone actually bothered to ask him if he was socialist, and what sort of socialist he was. Like I said, he could even have been a NatSoc/AR for all we know
He's never done a Change My Mind on Socialism, so it's understandable.
The part about "how do I prepare for these? I read what your professors teach you here", that was great.
Guess we haven't
```In a 1913 cartoon, Wilson primes the economic pump to get the economy moving, with tariff, currency and anti-trust laws```
Guess we really haven't learned much
So anyways, that first guy was *weird*
yeah
People feel like he 'won' the argument because Steve flipped out about the autistic comment
Which, admittedly, was dumb
Have autists found a way to successfully brainwash individuals over the internet?
But going back over what he was saying, it was... an odd collection of talking points
He didn't even flip out though
But yeah he was strange to say the least
Steve shouldn't have gone on and on about it though
*I want to know where he lurks*
He was still bringing it up when he was talking to the *next* guy
He's had people flip out on *him* in the past and use far worse language
"We need a border wall because the repubs want to import immigrants to lower the wages"
Well, back during the Bush years
A number of conservatives were very irritated with how many Repubs were handling the illegal immigrant issue
I believe it was Rumsfeld or Cheney who copped a lot of shit for saying something like how the immigrants were coming here to do jobs Americans wouldn't do
Which can be interpreted a number of ways
Some interepted it as "yeah, fucking young entitled Americans not wanting to work menial jobs"
Others interpreted it as "stop insulting God-fearing 'muricans as being lazy!"
etc etc
Ahh, gotcha
Definitely more of the Alex Jones wing, but yeah
And I've no doubt there are Repubs whom are quite fine with looking the other way vis-a-vis illegal immigrant workers if it's helping farmers and business owners make more money
I detest them.
My state of washington has the entire middle area as our agricultural area, and MS13 has actually moved gangs into the area.
Here in Oz we don't get the US commercials between breaks on Fox News
They run these 3-4 minute segments
One of them showed how many farmers employ immigrants.. 'of questionable VISA status'..
And the farmers themselves are like "well, noone around here wants to do the work"
Wow
"If these immigrants get sent back home then there's noone left to harvest the crops and we got bankrupt"
basically
It's true. Rural, ethnically white communites are being ravaged by drugs
So it's not a clear-cut issue
