BeepAfter the Plague: Sleeping Beauty, Part 2
rockSlayerWhy’s he disappointed? I’d be fucking siked
My ex was one of those. Believe me, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. But the sex was great!
The crazy ones always are
I don’t see how she’s crazy. She’s right. How are you going to accept a giant copper statue, place it at what was considered at the time to be the entrance to our country, which all immagrants would see, and then put a plaque on it that says:
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
How are you going to do all that, then kill the inhabitants of this land, and then call Mexicans (which owned like 1/3rd of the land now called America) illegal?
So you’re saying the US literally is not allowed to have any immigration laws?
“So you’re saying that the people who stole the land and murdered the inhabitants can’t tell other people they can’t come onto stolen land??”
Yeah. I don’t agree with that. I think it’s quite reasonable that the country that now exists can have laws governing intake of people.
What other options are there?
I get the vibe. But give me one reasonable alternative.
Nope. That’s actually my point. Can’t have a society without rules for entry.
So “no one is illegal on stolen land” is saying “you stole the land and built a society, and that society can’t have the rules necessary to exist.”
It poses no next step and no real solution to the problem. It feels nice and gets us nowhere.
Mkay, then your point is based solely on xenophobia and incorrect assumptions. I hope you take a moment to reflect on that, and try and come up with something better.
So you CAN have a society without rules for entry?
Ok cool. Do guy comes into society. No job. Gets job. Doesn’t pay taxes?
No one pays taxes in a moneyless, classless society. You don’t have a very good imagination, do you?
Oh, yeah. I can’t imagine how difficult it’d be to route resources without an intermediary object to barter.
