Funny events in anti-woke world

[Baffle]

So I was listening to NPR today, and something ticked me off. Why do we play dumb games with people's lives? It's one thing not to send climate-based foreign aid money to a country like Pakistan or the Bahamas to which we have already given enough money.

It's another to say no to tens of thousands of Afgan Refugees who really are just the best, and most dynamic people in Afghanistan which we evaluated from the terror regime in Kabul right now. Yet their legal status in the Us is a political football. This is insane, they are not rent-seeking, there was one guy who used to be a colonel in the Afghan military who I learned about listening to NPR and whose relatives learned English faster than I learned it at age 8. This is exactly the type of people we need in the US.

Now it's harder to defend refugees from Central America from my perspective, but they fit the definition of a refugee. They are fleeing from gangs and in some cases car bombs. I am sorry but anarchy is just as bad a dictatorship. Gangs are organized violence as well, and the idea that well they are economic refugees so we shouldn't accept them is horrific. Let's send them back to car bomb city, that's a dumb take. Also, you know what happens to people when you rescue them, they are grateful for you and want to repay you. They will join US society, and the economy, and for some I willing to be they will join the US military at high rates than the locals when we are facing personal shortages.

Also, "illegal" or undocumented immigrants are even more economically dynamic than most refugees.

But let's be real Title 42 isn't about economics or being practical. It's about Biden's fear of normie independents who love the status quo and are mildly racist and for republicans the xenophobic racists, and right-wing eco-fascists.

I feel like all of the people you've discussed here come under the classification of 'people who's lives we should not play dumb games with' tbh.

The United States is not a charity for terror supporting corrupt governments like Pakistan or Tax Havens like the Bahamas’s to give to with their begging bowls. People are accepted in the US corrupt governments aren’t.

"How's alpha male twitter doing?" I hear you avidly avoid asking. No worries fam, here's you heads up....

Someone is projecting.

Right, so just silly games with some people's lives. That's what I said you said.

Yes if you're a corrupt elite from another country you're my enemy, if you're an ordinary person who wants to come to the US, your not. Why do you support giving money to corrupt officials who have run their countries poorly?

I mean, if you're talking about climate change (which you were) the US is one of the worst contributors so it seems pretty reasonable they should stump up the cash for affected countries.

But what are they going to do with said money? I suspect most of that money will go toward mansions and yachts.

Corrupt Elites Siphon Aid Money Intended For World’s Poorest

A new study has found that as much as a sixth of foreign aid intended for the world's poorest countries has flowed into bank accounts in tax havens owned by elites.

Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Hong Kong Singapore, and Switzerland should not exist.

A most of them hide a very deep, cutting sense of inadequacy. You can see it whenever Musk talks business. He has no idea how he made his money. He's just as flabbergasted by it as anyone. Which means he doesn't know how to keep it or do it again. He's deeply, cuttingly afraid easy come, easy go.
There's a pretty good line from Rick and Morty about how horrified your friends and family would be if they knew the real you. I think that's Musk and his followers to a t. They're terrified the world will realize they're all just dummies, and Musk just happens to be a rich one.

So basically Musk has a very pronounced case of Imposter Syndrome?

I bet if you took a blacklight into his house, it looks like a Jackson Pollock

That's an image I totally didn't need.

Thanks, Chimpzy.

Post-WW2 US foreign policy begs to differ.

Hong Kong

How very Chinese Communist Party of you.

Is it really Imposter Syndrome when they've basically faked and lied their way to the top?

 

[Gergar12]

Yes, I am anti-globalist banker how CCP of me.

Note: This means I am against the global rich not Jews for people trying to make dishonest attacks against me. Everytime people attack bankers it's anti-Jewish or in Asian countries anti-Chinese. Bullshit I hate all rich billionaires besides maybe Mark Cuban.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

in Asian countries anti-Chinese

I can think of 2 Asian countries where blaming the Chinese diaspora is unofficial policy whenever there's need for a scapegoat.

I hate all rich billionaires

Are there other kinds of billionaires?

Anyway, I consider any society that allows billionaires to exist is failing in its duties to the rest of its citizens.

One of the is Indonesia.

Fair enough

Yep, them and Malaysia (although, to be 'fair' Malaysia is a bit more circumspect about it).

I agree, question the wages paid to US politicians.

Ambulance strike: Blame game escalates between unions and ministers

Union boss accuses health secretary of "blatant lie" for saying workers had chosen to harm patients.

Steven Barclay can get in the fucking sea, ideally during the strike.

Agree in regards to refugees, disagree in regards to not giving aid (strings attached) to countries affected by climate change. If you are worried that their officials are corrupt so they shouldn't have money, best get that money out of the US now, cause, c'mon.
