dumb as hell kinda stuff

#

Immigrants are the backbone of our workforce.

#

They prop up our agriculture industry

#

You want cheaper egg prices???? They are the ones keeping domestic egg prices cheaper.

#

And you know what, when right wingers say "immigrants" let's just say the quiet part out loud. They mean black and brown people. The don't mean white european immigrants.
Blaming stuff on immigrants is another way to divide us into "us" and "them" instead of focusing in on the real problems. Which are the rich trampling on our rights to get richer.

What's with people intentionally leaving that very important distinction out?

#

Defending illegal immigration so that the huge farms can exploit both the illegal immigrants AND the domestic workforce by artifically suppressing wages by saying "If not for them who will work the fields??" is wild

wooden wren
#

I hate the term illegal immigrant. You still have legal status here even if you're undocumented

azure magnet
#

no person should be considered illegal

wooden wren
#

agreed, they have rights. they're humans too

#

rights for other people doesn't mean fewer rights for us

olive topaz
#

No one said they don't have rights lmfao

wooden wren
#

stop with the scarcity mentality

olive topaz
#

But no one has an intrinsic right to migrate to another country.

wooden wren
#

the job and money scarcity in this country is made up

#

It's all wealth hoarding and corporate greed

#

it's almost like for the vast majority of human history, the only things that limited human migration were geographical barriers and other humans

#

arbitrarily

Oh dear, the egg deficiency is kicking in hard

wooden wren
#

ain’t a problem for me. I only get eggs from the local farmers market. Buying local is what’s going to keep people fed in the coming economic hellscape.

errant trail
#

i mean i don’t really buy eggs, but i go to the dining halls for scrambled eggs and i wonder what the bird flue will do to the egg supply for dining halls

Exactly my dad is so set on immigrants causing higher crime

#

i think it comes from a place of, like, poverty causes crime. my parents have this mindset and their logic is that "oh well they're poor so they have to steal things"

#

^ not saying i agree just what i've noticed

wooden wren
#

systemic racism is a big driver of poverty

jagged rapids
#

oh yeah for sure

#

in my 8th grade civics class we had a unit on redlining in the beginning and it kept coming up throughout the year, especially when we were talking about racism and politics

#

Can they even do that?

storm thistle
#

well they just did I don't know

#

I guess LGB drop the T won

stray sluice
#

maybe they did it because of this? But still

jagged rapids
#

people are still going to refer to the LGBTQIA+ community as such

#

plus, "queer," a word reclaimed by LGBTQIA+ members, is featured in this supposed respelling

#

so i don't see this going anywhere tbh

placid scroll
#

why is this his biggest priority

umbral mason
#

distract us, divide us, overwhelm us into submission

#

and/or powerlessness

#

while at the same time, letting real bad shit happen in the background

#

and probably other evil shit

not to fearmonger, but you gotta stay vigilant, set boundaries so you don’t burn out

#

jagged rapids
#

umbral mason
#
