    i’m not really interested in watching a debate on american immigration politics as they are deeply infected and fucked-up from all sides. it won’t give me anything but higher blood pressure.

        wut

        It’s literally not tho

        Like CC’s meme is deliberately arguing that the liberal perspective, that ‘immigration is acceptable because it makes money’, is wrong and closer in spirit to the fascists and bourgeois conservatives they loudly claim to hate.

        This is not a lib argument. It’s a leftist argument. It’s part of the “leftist memes” cultural meme, i.e. presenting longer tracts of analysis in a meme format. It deliberately the subverts the “image macro” format. The length is supposed to be part of the joke.

        Again, I actually quite like your version, since it concretely states your beliefs and curtly argues why. Love it! Both versions are good pieces of agitprop for different audiences, both of whom I want to bring into our movement.

                No I get the meme and I agree with the points CC’s and your memes make.

                It’s just that Jubilee, as a company, pretends to be interested in social justice and bringing people together for honest debates…but it’s just a spectacle. They’re just in it to make money. They have no problem platforming chuds, framing fascists as a “debatable position” equivalent to pro-social justice positions.

                  Ah.

                  Well. I have experienced the blueshirt lib prop, online, here on threadyverse, and physically.
                  Lit. my apartment neighbor is an ignorant soviet liberal. So I get to hear her constant ignorant liberal drivel. What’s cosmically hilarious is that her status is still work-visa. So I am nearly blind rolling my eyes at her nonsense.
