      Counterpoint: Before men in suits we had men in blouses which not only did all of that but their war was also legal and the public received no benefits or guaranteed rights. We created our own men in suits as representatives to redistribute wealth of other men in suits and help each other.

    Someone has to be saying it. If the bastards want to spout about getting rid of our migrant population, trans people, black people, etc then someone has to point out the real problem.

    For real tho…who has a problem with Mexicans? They’re chill af. They mind their own business and work like a beast. You need something done, find a Mexican that does that.

      Story as old as time, racists do. Anyone who sounds / looks “funny” is an alien, therefore bad. They could have a million of good interactions with “the other” and one slightly bad one, while they get a million bad ones and one good one from “their tribe”, and they’ll still rail on the “others” as a problem

      Racists see the world as zero sum.

      Privately, they believe that the Other (Mexicans, trans people, Muslims) holds the same views that they do. Some people do not mature/develop a theory of mind beyond a vague sense of tribalism.

      Because given power, they would eliminate people unlike them, they assume that the Other would do the same.

      Look into racist spirituality, ie White Identity - a common belief is something like racial “oversouls” which are naturally opposed to each other. Anything that benefits Black or Mexican folks are overt moves by those oversouls - affirmative action as a covert move to drive white men out.

      The majority of these people don’t get into it/think about it enough to engage with the “oversouls” but I think it does align with their behavior. The internet has also unfortunately gotten things like Blavatsky and Evola into to the mainstream - dollars to donuts that the DOGE boys were introduced to those names on /pol/

      1. People who’ve never met one, and find it easier to blame others for their issues than blame themselves or their friends.

      2. People who think white people are better. It’s not that they hate Mexicans, per se, it’s just that Mexicans are obviously inferior (or they’d be white!), and they’re getting all uppity, wanting to be treated like equals or some such nonsense.

      3. A combination of the above.

      Any foreigner. They come here to make something of themselves, probably spent an arm and a leg just for a passport and the trip itself. They work retail/crap jobs and do whatever they need. You’ll most likely never find a homeless foreigner in usa. Not saying they don’t exist, but I’ve never met one.

      I had a friend who with a partner had a small framing contracting company in Texas. He told me that they would only hire Mexican Americans/Mexicans because white boy bubbas were lazy and only want to fish.

    Its good that people can see that the emperors have no clothes and are still willing to put their necks on the line. But it shouldn’t be just comedians who are supposed to be there to entertain us. It should be the citizen politicians we picked with our actual vote. Unfortunately they are all currently threading Trump’s bullshit. They are literally swimming in it and its a sandpit made of bullshit. Its a trap.

      Thanks for that! I find the phrase “rabid with greed” to be really apt. Like a rabid animal greed is the only part of them that exists anymore , it is their entire being and only drive

      Counter argument - they belong in the ground AND all of their money dispersed to the people of the world.

        More of a supplement than a counter.

        Let’s keep the brainstorming going: and regulations should be put in place to prevent there from being such a thing as billionaires ever again.

          Yes. No one person should hold more wealth than they and their spawns could spend in a lifetime.

        That’s…not a counter argument. That’s not even disagreeing. You’re just saying it should be more.
