“It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy,” said one human rights lawyer.
As a Native American we order all racist white people to leave now.
I’ve got Cherokee ancestry back about two generations. Can I stay?
As long as you are not full of hate we are cool fam!
Sadly, I have to work not to hate the MAGA people. That in itself makes it hard not to hate them; I don’t want to hate anyone, but they are sooo hateful, if that makes any sense.
I understand where you are coming from I live in a small town of only 4000 people and I’m pretty sure 95% of them hard-core Trump supporters. Honestly, I just ignore them and just listen to their nonsense and laugh to myself internally.
I’m not even in the US but I agree
Man, forcibly exile me back to my grandparents’ Scandinavian village. Please.
Then America truly would be great again.
Please.
Just doesn’t hit the same way when you don’t have guns and will use violence.
I was constantly reminded of my native heritage by my parents while growing up in Oklahoma; they always argued what stupid fraction of which tribe we were. Of course, there’s no documentation. I did the genealogy a while back, and it turns out I’m so fucking white that I could make snow get deported by ICE; I’m, like, pronounce the H white. Anyway, so much to say that being sent back to England, while certainly a punishment, would be getting off easy, all things considered.
Edit: I don’t consider myself a racist, I just suffer from skimming. I just re-read the post :(
Don’t feel sad, brother you are still a member so long as you have love understanding and a desire to learn in your heart.
Thanks, man. I am trying.
As long as you try that’s enough brother.
As a non racist American also not a bigot or twat waffle, I approve this message.
I love Native Americans. You guys are the only ones that truely belong here. I just hope that you let us Dems and independents that hate the GOP stay.
As long as we are all united together and show love and kindness to each other, regardless of our heritage or gender background everything will eventually be better for us all. It is very hard to be optimistic in these times and to offer words of encouragement, but as long as you have love and are willing to share your thoughts I feel that eventually things will improve. The power and greed of a few weak men will pass, and the power of the people will always stand tall.
In yet another Trump administration attack on migrants, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced that nearly 1 million migrants who entered the country legally using a Customs and Border Protection mobile application must leave “immediately” or face consequences including potential criminal prosecution.
With each day that passes, not enough white men are using their power to show up and stand up against these atrocities. They sit back silently.
Take note. The people with the most privilege to enact change should be standing up and they aren’t.
all thier saying is"white people are as much as a victim as any minority" yeah no, POC and minorities, especially lgbtq+ suffer alot more than any white person would. its the wierd thing they also project into other things too. even amongst lgbtq+ white people are seen as “superior” to minorities.
Anything other than class warfare is a distraction. If you drive through the rustbelt, the South, or many other parts of the country, the average white man hasn’t had it great compared to the 1%. We can argue about levels, but we’ve all been getting fucked by the boys at the top.
That is frankly false, and also my biggest gripe about the modern communist movement. Racism is basically America’s caste system. If the caste system isn’t destroyed either before or during the class warfare, then it will either reform after a revolution or prevent people from banding together to form a revolution in the first place.
Telling people that racism is a distraction to be ignored is a major mistake. If the modern communist movement wants their class revolution, then this would be far easier (or actually possible) in a America without racism. Hence, why bosses have been perpetuating Racism in America for hundreds of years.
Racism is an issue. It’s also a symptom of the problem. It’s used as a tool to pit the working class against each other.
Head on over to Beattyville, Kentucky or Ironton, Ohio and tell them how privileged they are because they’re white, I’m sure that will get then on your side. Most Jobless drug addicts living in hovels. No chance for any prosperity but at least they’re “privileged.”
I guarantee if you reach out a hand and tell them you were left behind by this country too they’ll be more receptive too marching with you.
It’s a class war, always.
Well then, carry on tilting at windmills and not getting a damn thing changed. For what it’s worth, I am no communist, just a strong believer that ludicrous wealth inequality is the leading indicator in a society’s dysfunction. If you feel the need, and actually believe, that almost 1/2 of the population of the US hasn’t been fucked by the 1%ers as well, then I guess we’ll just disagree. I wish you luck in your quest.
The Morrison government in Australia told all the temporary workers, backpackers, international students, tourists to go home during Covid and Australia is still paying the price of economic dislocation. A lot of these people worked on farms, in cafes, construction, hospitals etc and we had massive problems because him thought they were a burden.
Americans refuse to learn from history or the rest of the world. We are so exceptional it is offensive for you to act like we would be burdened with what troubled others.
My government sickens me.
RFK Jr: “Bet”
For real though, yeah our government is absolutely disgusting and abhorrent right now
At least he walked back his bullshit on the measles vaccination. He really needs to walk his ass off of a tall cliff, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
Our government has been disgusting for decades, at least.
Then do something about it. Nut up. Get off Lemmy. Change it.
Removed by mod
they did rollback child labor laws.
Profit and control. Always has been.
Those are jobs not only Americans don’t want, but there is not enough to fill.
We already had a low unemployment.
Triple whammy: remove federal grants, remove workers, increase tariffs to unreasonable levels.
Gee, it’s almost like some hostile foreign leader had paid him a few billion dollars to destroy America, but that’s ludicrous, right? Right?
I think he tries to convert America to Russia. Consolidate all power, make people so miserable that they won’t have time to protest as they will be figuring out how to survive.
texas is pratically russia already in many respects.
I was told all during his first illegitimate term that talking about Russia was super-naughty and bad. The people doing some of the very most lecturing on this - well, first of all, it was mostly the unhinged right-wing, true (while they were all-in on qanon/pizzagate nuttery), but next up was a whole lot of supposed leftists and of course the mainstream centrist “liberal media” right behind that…
Americans want them. The employers won’t pay what the job market demands. When eggs are rare the price rises. When labor is it’s always “labor’s fault” huh? Not that very same market.
If it is required for life, health, home, or education, it should not be allowed to profit.
Don’t worry, they’re working hard to pump up those unemployment numbers as well. Not going to be long before people are starving in the streets, not because there’s no food, but because the average person just won’t be able to afford it.
Soon they’ll be the only jobs left and Americans won’t have a choice.
Or some Americans won’t have a choice! It’s slavery with extra steps!
Good point, SatansMaggotyCumFart!
Racism
I’m actually starting to enjoy this. We will all get hurt anyway so why not entertain ourselves by watching the self destruction of the USA. It also gave me a nice title for a track, Apocalypse Euphoria.
I hate what’s happening but I enjoy the righteous schadenfreude.
We will not all get hurt equally, and some of us will be too busy running for our lives to just kick back and watch the self destruction
Also, I don’t know what you think the self destruction of the USA is going to look like, but if you think there’s some magical bottom we’re going to hit and then it will be done and things won’t get any worse you’re sadly mistaken. Things can always get worse.
Oh don’t worry, I’m one of those in a position where all of this could blow my life in minutes. I’m actually having a fucking nervous breakdown and that’s just my way of coping, since every day seems to get us one step closer to the edge. I didn’t mean the offend people.
Ah, gotcha, fair enough. I don’t think it’s a helpful thought to be sharing with other people right now, but if it works for you hold on to it. And yeah, the sun shines brighter and the coffee tastes better and everything is little more intense when your life is an ongoing near death experience and you’re living entirely in that moment and not thinking about tomorrow. The problem is that’s something most people can’t keep up for very long, and like there is no good way to raise kids in that mode, but speaking for you personally - become whatever kind of beast you need to to survive.
Good luck on the track, hope I hear it someday.
Eventually, this country is going to look like Nazi Germany more than it doesn’t. We’ll be lucky if its only policies like ideology and censorship, but it will almost certainly include incarceration of political enemies, torture, and mass murder. You can just tell by how giddy they are that they can’t wait to do their worst.
alot of what nazi germany became, is borrowed from jim crow era.
Good, I hate Americans. /s
Why are citizens on there 3 times when they are indistinguishable categories and why are they so far to the right when he’s already publicly talked about sending citizens to the torture prison?
Artist probably needed an extra label or two to make the structure look right.
Damn, I guess the artist really does have to educate the critic.
By all means, feel free to educate.
Birthright citizens are those that are born on US soil but their parents weren’t citizens of the US. Naturalized citizens are those that took a test and forsaken their former country’s citizenship to become citizens of the US. Citizens are those that were born on US soil and their parents were also citizens of the US.
They are all citizens. They have all the same rights. Trump won’t draw any distinction between them. Trump has already been attacking the rights of everyone, including citizens.
The graphic implies a sequence or hierarchy (à la “First they came”) with Trump either planning to destroy each pillar himself or have them toppled like dominoes. However, this does not accurately reflect the nature of the attacks that have already occurred. Trump did not step through a hierarchy, he attacked everyone that he perceived as a threat to his power–much more similarly to a bomb placed in the middle of the pillars toppling all at once.
Ok
- It’s a fucking cartoon
- A citizen is not a citizen (see LeBron a 2 pointer is not a 2 pointer)
You don’t have to renounce old citizenship to be naturalized in the US.
You do if you’re from a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. I mean, it’s not a requirement on the U.S. side, but still.
Even with countries that allow dual citizenship, in some cases you have to re-acquire your previous citizenship because you automatically renounce it after getting US citizenship. It’s usually just a simple process of showing proof and swearing in front of a consular officer.
You don’t actually need to renounce it. I have acquired US Citizenship by Derivation and my citizenship in People’s Republic of China is automatically revoked.
I mean, they probably didn’t know until my US Citizen mom went back to China for a visit, and since US laws are not some secret, they know I’m a US Citizen by Derivation, so I’m no longer a PRC citizen.
I would like that ceiling to give him a knocking.
The link to the Panama concentration camp article is explicit and nauseating. Y’all, it’s a concentration camp, right down to the cages and lack of food and shelter.
The USA officially has concentration camps. And since Trump has revoked the visas of international college students and immigrants who came in legally under a policy set in motion by Biden, he is preparing to put anyone and everyone in those camps.
To be fair, the US has had concentration camps for hundreds of years (starting in the 1830s for holding natives)
We’re already expanding our own Black Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It’s in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by…well, you get it.
I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I’ll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.
Cuba does not want them there. They want the US out of Guantanamo and have for a long time.
Basically the US-friendly pre-revolution government gave the US a perpetual lease to the land. After the revolution the Communist government wanted them out but they don’t really have the military power to force them. The US still sends them checks (which they don’t cash) for whatever pittance the old agreement listed so they can claim it’s “legal”. That territory is completely under US oversight, there is no land connection to it.
Don’t blame Cuba. They’re cool.
also any internationals criticizing BIBI’s government too.
This here is the most compelling argument that you know tmurp has no religion, or perhaps his soul is already spoken for?
Why would him having a religion make any difference?
I was unsuccessfully implying that people responsible for creating and shipping people to concentration camps likely wouldn’t need to worry about picking out prime real estate in the good place
DHS claimed Monday that “the Biden administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history.”
How are they “illegal aliens” (ignoring for the moment the dehumanization inherent to the phrase), if they were officially allowed to enter and then did?
dehumanization
Only for people who don’t understand the term
If I were to guess it would be because Biden is the one who let them in. And Trump is on a kick to literally undo everything that Biden has done in the last 4 years including wrecking our improved economy. It’s all Trump cares about.
He did the same thing in 2016. Moved very quickly to wreck nearly everything that Obama had anything to do with. So that he could come back in a couple of years and try to fix all of it. Badly, I might add.
Weird, because I’m understanding the right correctly, Biden did NOTHING for the 4 years he was in office…
He authorized a lot of drilling if I remember. Drill baby drill!
If the left ever takes the presidency again, they should throttle the absolute fuck out of the right for this degeneracy. Fuck being nice, retribution is fucking owed.
Literally remove the right wing outright. No more of that equal representation for racists bullshit.
Don’t worry, they’ll get a strongly-worded finger wagging, that’ll definitely teach them.
The left never had a POTUS. Just rotating faces of the Oligarchy.
Assuming you’re talking about democrats here, I wish they would, but I don’t think they ever will. I would argue that line was good as crossed years ago, they’ve got no spine to adjust to the fact that mutual cooperation died years ago. They’re literally just in it for the money, they aren’t idealists or even someone with a moral core.
They aren’t “left” either.
They will spout some nonsense about “being the time for coming together as a country” or “reaching across the aisle” because “there is good in every man and woman”
“Again” when did the left ever have the presidency?
Exactly. We have zero representation. Actually, we’re the enemy. Just normal capitalism stuff.
All immigration law in the US has always been about upholding white supremacy. That is why the first federal immigration law was called the Asian Exclusion Act.
and at least 2 universities have anti-asian sentiment because “too many asians in thier historically white university”
Any country willing to take a disabled parasite in? Because once they are done with “illegal immigrants” the “parasites” are next.
On the bright side, at least I won’t have to deal with snow anymore.
Hopefully they take a luna tick parasite named: Donald.
don’t worry, gay people will probably buy you some time. I’m almost sure they hate us more.
My money’s still kinda on the hate being more calculated than literal, I imagine a bunch of people who’ve never actually lowered themselves to driving their own car spreading hate about things they’ve seen on TV, but aren’t really sure are real. Like the backlash to the kids in school using litterboxes, it was 100% true in these folks minds.
Not that I expect it to be in any way comforting, but from up on high you can think of it as an all-encompassing hate toward the NPCs using all of the billionaires resources up, one that everyone should be able to feel.
I bet the Trumpers are really looking forward to working as farm workers and hotel maids.
Don’t forget national forest loggers!

Did you see China’s new ad?
No.
