All I'm going to say is as an American, Im rooting for the people who try to come here for a better life. That includes all the illegals. To an extent, anyone who makes that journey and gets into this country has earned it and embodies the spirit of this country.

But the government is not supposed to be making it as easy as it has been for the past decade. And the extent of how easy they've made it over the past 4 years is nothing short of criminal, possibly even unforgivable.

Practically open borders, welcoming them in with thousands of dollars on a monthly basis, phones, housing, Healthcare, all while the American people who work hard everyday to make this place what it is struggle for the same things every day.

Again, I don't blame the individual people for trying to get here. It's not their fault this is happening and anyone with strong nerves would do it if their situation were bad enough. If anything, this country stands to improve from having more people in it with the brass to take the risk.

But what the government is doing is evil and worthy of people taking a stand against it.

There are many things we could do without resorting to violence but it requires people to understand and come to terms with the mechanisms, people and policies which allow this state our country is in.

In short, we could:

Start paying more attention to the people who get voted into congress and local government.

(the president is powerful but the people who can run, the policies they can fight for and their ability to act against the interests for which they were elected is greatly affected by the house and senate)

Decentralize education

(federal overreach into what is being taught in schools makes it easy for a small group of people to take control of what is being taught across the nation. It makes people pay less attention to who is elected locally and is against the spirit of how school is supposed to work in the first place)

Stop supporting conglomerate businesses. Buy milk from local grocery stores, get fruit and veggies from local or non-cooperate sources, even if it means getting them from markets which import them from outside the country. Buy bread from a local bakery or encourage local farms to produce flour.

(the part about capitalism that people often forget about is that the government's responsibility to making it all work is stopping companies from getting too big. Maybe companies like Google or Amazon can be granted exceptions of some type. Yes there are things they do which should be answered for, but they're not as egregious of a violation as hedge funds buying up all the cerial, fountain drink, cosmetic and entertainment brands to control them under one or a limited number of companies. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to live off products which aren't largely owned by only a handful of companies which own eachother)

There are other ways as well but the biggest one is for us all to get together and talk about it.

These criminal aliens are literally spending five figures and what not to come all the way here. They come here to take advantage of our citizens and make our lives harder so they can enrich their lives.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Can't really blame them when practically the only reason it's happening is because of our politicians

[Juxtapose]

Well blame game or not, if criminal aliens were consistently executed you would see a lot less of them. There are decent amount of countries that will kill you if you illegally enter them.

*is a decent amount of

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I don't disagree, I just think it's dumb the media has us talking like it's the immigrants fault the government makes it so easy.

It's like if the valet left your keys in the car and then when somebody steals it instead of getting mad at the valet, you're complaining that there's burglers hiding around the sportscars.

[Juxtapose]

Well, yeah, fuck thieves. You can't just act like people are going to do that and you can't stop it when in Japan you can leave a wallet sitting on a train and nobody will fucking touch it.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Sounds like they got better politicians there to me

@Telekinetic-Potato If I go to the trouble of walking across the border with Mexico do I have a right to settle down and live in Mexico? A lot of non-Mexican Americans are trying to get residency in Mexico and it is not easy.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@RealMarek I don't know how much clearer I can be about my point. It's like you're not even reading what I'm writing

[Sasahara]

It might be right, it almost sounds like a conspiracy theory, but so does a lot of shit leftists actually do belive, so its entirely possible.

[Juxtapose]

Keep in mind the people that are actually making conspiracy theories are the ones who coined that term.

[Dongie]

Yeah, it's amazing how the loudest voices we hear that cry for the protection of democracy are the same ones whispering amongst themselves on how to destroy it for their takeover of the country. I think they should be executed slowly. Over weeks on public tv. The worst done to them would still be to good.

Elon is just like jobs he is selling simple things overpriced and he thinks he is Some iron man or something but he is just there for the money

How long will Twttier/X be a thing? Will it ever go just X? Doubt it. A tweet will always be called a tweet.

Why did you post the same thing twice?

[Juxtapose]

I didn't? I only came across this video about an hour ago and I just made a single question about it. If there's a duplicate question, I did not mean to post it.

[DJB72]

Sounds right.
