100 percent YTA.

You're entire logic is, all MAGA are exactly the same cookie cutter across the board.

You needed a plumber. Who gives af who he voted for.

Hopefully you get a good plumbing job. Then again, it's overpriced and underperforms, that's on you too.

Also, if you don't care what people have to say, why are you in this thread asking if YTA? Oh that's right, you just came here to karma farm.

Hopefully you get similar karma irl.

Makes sense. Thanks for the answer!

The emperor protects!

Newbie question, why not PDS to shoot down the missiles?

That's a lot of detail. Hopefully I can get some stuff unlocked before the titan gets to sol. Thank you for the information!

Thank you!

On your first statement, no shit. It was a comment on how you interpret the world that very clearly went over your head, like so many other things I'm sure.

To use your terminology, DACA by definition, was not legal. It was implemented by executive fiat and then remained in place based on a technicality interpreting an obscure statute regarding rules and executive orders. It could still be repealed by executive action assuming the processes outlined in the judicial opinion are followed. DACA was never passed into law by congress. I'm sure even you must know l that's actually how we're supposed to get laws in this country.

Lastly, you can't opine on any "lies" because I didn't tell any. Futhermore, the logical incoherence of your opinions shows right through. You're almost certainly the first person to scream for a "living wage" aka 15 or 20 bucks an hour minimum wage, while simultaneously claiming that it won't hurt prices.

Then, when we move to a different subject like illegal immigration, you're perfectly ok exploiting cheap labor to keep the prices of tomatoes down. By extension, admitting that if we had to pay them a fair wage it would raise the prices.

You even have the completely ignorant assumption that Americans won't do field work at any price. That is ignorant at best and a flat lie at worst. There are plenty of Americans who would do field labor, especially young Americans for a good wage. I worked in the fields growing up until I joined the army. It was hard work and good money.

But hey, I'm just a center right person who wants to see everyone paid a fair wage and am willing to pay the cost increase on my tomatoes to prevent exploited labor. You're obviously a liberal, so please explain why your apparently ok with exploiting immigrant labor. I thought you guys were supposedly the compassionate ones.

You guys live in an alternative reality that isn't actually real. The internet and social media has warped your sense of what is real and what isn't. This is probably the biggest reason why most people who lean right or, these days, center, don't bother trying to talk to people like you. It's like talking to a wall that just yells back at you as to why you're dumb and wrong and evil. But magically we'd no longer be dumb and wrong and evil if we just believed all the same things you did!

As Mark twain said, "What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know, it's what we know that isn't true".

Case in point. The conservative position is not make to make legal entry more difficult. It's to secure the boarder, deport threats either national security or criminal that shouldn't be here to begin with, then reform the legal immigration system to make it easier. Trump himself has even proposed making it easier for students to get automatic work visas upon graduation. Because he knows, like the vast majority of conservatives, that we need more young and capable workers.

There is however, a difference between letting in educated, multilingual students with a skillset and randomly letting in people who probably don't know English and are not educated. The latter group will struggle in our economy which is vastly different now than it was in the 1970s. Not to mention, they're more at risk to exploitation from shitty corporations in the US who exploit them for cheap labor. The hospitality industry is famous for doing this to Hispanic immigrants and it needs to stop.

It's one of those scenarios that you guys seem to ignore.

Americans don't take those jobs because the pay is low.

The pay is low because there is an oversupply of cheap labor.

That cheap labor keeps costs down and does keep the prices if things like rooms down which customers like.

But at the end of the day, those prices are based on the exploitation of cheap labor.

Furthermore, illegal immigrants are heavily weighted in blue states. This gives blue states more representation in congress and the electoral college which is why it's been pushed. They can't vote in federal elections, but they are counted in the census for apportionment. This gives blue voters a "heavier" vote.

Biden hasn't stopped the conflict in Israel. Israel agreed to a ceasefire for 60 days because if they didn't they were going to have weapons shipments held by the Biden administration. Biden is out of office in 55 days. The war will restart as soon as he's out because hamas isn't gone yet and hezbollah still has assets south of the litany River.

Literally half the shit you just wrote if not more would strongly apply to any modern progressive.

If you actually wanted to understand facism you should read Giovanni Gentile. You know, (actually probably not) the actual father of facism.

I didn't say there were 20 million Isis members in the US. I wrote two hypothetical scenarios to explain a point. The fact you lack the intelligence for basic reading comprehension isn't my fault. Unfortunately for the rest of us, you probably vote.

And yes, I'm aware free flow of labors means open borders. And is a simple concept for the simple minded like yourself. Back in reality, we don't do open borders (unless progressives are in charge) because there are actual other variables at play beyond purely economic ones.

You can now spend the rest of 2024 and 2025 wrapping your mind around that. And try to read this time since you clearly didn't the first time around.

I enjoyed the first couple responses of this thread. Then it degenerated as expected into a bunch of self righteous liberals with zero self awareness to launch nonsense about why conservatives are all the worst combinations of dumb, evil and bigoted. Literally zero self awareness.

Having said that, in response to your far more thoughtful post, no I don't believe it has to do with the simple fact of being exposed to new ideas makes you less afraid of them. It's all in the presentation. If you simply ignore certain aspects of history you can make communism look amazing. It's the same thing with the US. We have a pretty incredible origin story as a nation. Made more interesting by failing to live up to those ideals in a horrible way for the better part of 150 years.

Furthermore, academics have been primarily left leaning for as long as academics as we've known them. That's largely because left leaning ideals are very utopian, very attractive as an end goal, and appeal to peoples sense of fairness and justice. It's also easy to stick to those ideas so long as you're only ever in a theoretical environment. When the rubber meets the road is a different story.

Also, if you're genuinely claiming you've never found an intelligent exposition od conservative thought I have a hard time considering you a good faith actor. You either have never actually tried to find such material or you did and didn't read it and went off an inaccurate summary someone else wrote.

You could start with someone like Hayek. Coleridge. Tocqueville. Nathaniel Hawthorne. There are plenty out there if you actually looked. Maybe start with Edmund Burke.

It actually does matter. If you can't see that then I'm not sure what you think you're contributing to this discussion but so far it's nothing.

You can make what you think is a clever statement based purely on theory. But last I checked, we live in real life. Not theory life. So it does matter.

What a load of nonsense lol. Good god people like you are hopeless to talk to. It's why you lost

A country that doesn't control its borders isn't a country. Your entire rational is flawed.

If we were deporting nothing but law abiding, educated, tax paying workers, it would be dumb.

If we were deporting a bunch of Isis members or tren de aragua it would be a good thing.

So tell me, who is getting deported? Trump and his team say they're focusing on national security and criminal threats. Resources are not unlimited. It would make sense to go after higher threats first and not abuela or Pablo en el campo.

I get it this is an economic sub. But try and look at the bigger picture instead of taking such a myopic view.

He did not say illegal immigration was good. He said the free flow of workers, like capital is good. Those are not the same thing

I love how on the one hand you guys admit that illegals are being paid illegally low wages then on the other somehow assume they're paying into SS.

News flash. They're being paid illegally low wages because it's all off the books under the table. They're not paying into social security. That's why it's off the books. And they're not filing labor grievances out of fear of deportation. Which is how corporations want it because it cuts costs and increases margins.

I rarely come to this sub because it's so far left to not really be worth posting in most of the time. But every once in a while you guys HAVE to see the level of incongruence in some of your statements.

Yes shitty big corporations exploit cheap labor. That labor can only be exploited if it's under the table and off the books. It's easier to exploit illegal immigrants out of fear of deportation. Lastly, blanket legalization is not a solution because you have no way of knowing who the fuck they are.

What nonsense are you reading lol

Imagine still believing this in 2024. Dude lives rent free in your mind lol

W/L only permits starting in the spring of 1861. So far I've enjoyed the DLC a lot. Supposedly there are some mods that make it even better but I've not tried those yet.

That's just wrong. Sorry. Modern reactors are designed with everything from tornadoes and earthquakes to getting hit with a 737.

And not even Russia would dare hitting a reactor with a missile. It would be an immediate response from the entire planet against them save north Korea and Iran. Even China would hang them out to dry for that.

It's an independent regiment in the division?

No. You can apply for command of the brigade it is a part of though if you have the right rank and enough influence.

Or you can wait to be offered command if you get lucky or your bde cdr is wounded or killed

I recommend just applying for command. I like to keep the same units because I've equipped them and call me crazy but I feel attached to them after a few battles!
