    Also, capitalists and their governmental lackeys have created conditions that caused immigrants to flee their countries - supporting repressive authoritarian regimes that align with their economic interests, going to war and toppling democratic governments that act too much in the interests of their own citizens/local businesses at the expense of foreign interests and become a “threat of a good example”, exploiting the countries through imposing “free trade” and debt through the IMF/World Bank/WTO, etc.

    God the amount of anti Indian hate in Canada lately is disgusting. They’re not the ones abusing the immigration system, the companies operating in CANADA abusing TFWs are. I don’t get why people don’t see that and hate the ones actually responsible. Look into ANY problem facing Canada and oops all companies.

    Actually it’s worse than that in many cases. Recent US data showed that immigrants were creating jobs for non-immigrants. The crackdown has caused large numbers of American businesses to simply close doors, dumping all of their employees.

    Same with the Trans issue … or anything to do with sexuality … anyone who is sexually different only occupies about 10% of the population yet politicians have to treat it like some kind of mania.

    The most troublesome minority group in the world are rich wealthy oligarchs from all nations.

      accounts that were given the blue checkmark pre-elon, back when it was used to verify the authenticity of accounts belonging to public figures (such as mohamad safa), still have those blue checkmarks. this screenshot is pretty old too.

    I wish the whole discussion was more data-oriented. You all claim to be “intelligent” but never show the data that you used to come to your conclusion.

    What is the economic effect of foreigners in your country? Can there be any data about it? I’m sick of bashing against things emotionally. It’s nobody’s fault until proven.

        There’s studies proving literally anything. There’s studies proving that chocolate helps you lose weight.

        There’s studies about literally anything because people can write whatever they want into a piece of text and literally nobody’s gonna stop them. So of course there’s gonna be a study that proves whatever point you want to believe in.

        My point is, until i haven’t read and analyzed that study myself, i don’t believe it. Because there’s wrong studies being churned out all the fucking time. So please, give actual arguments, instead of just saying “well duh it’s obvious/just look it up yourself”.

          This isn’t a matter of poring over data; it’s a matter of power. The bourgeoisie have it and proletarian immigrants don’t. They have even less power than proletarians with citizenship. Most who come here come out of desperation due our imperialist bourgeoisie super-exploiting their homeland.

          You all claim to be “intelligent” but never show the data that you used to come to your conclusion.

          We’ve had the “data” for the last ~500 years of capitalism, but you have to go out of your way to find it. You’re not going to find much of it on TV or at Barnes & Noble because corporations would rather you not find it.

          One of the better places to start, I think, is a detour into developing real media literacy. Previously.
