@LukeAlmighty "Who will work the fields and do the other shitty jobs we're too good to do if we don't have an easily exploited, permanent underclass of brown people brought into the country via sketchy means?"

@Hoss@Jonny@Griffith@Owl You don't need everyone. You just need a strong, determined, vocal minority. When you have that you can easily create a preference cascade. Most people don't want to actually be free or think too much for themselves. Most people just want a just and competent master.
@Jonny@Griffith@Hoss@Owl Kirk was a gate keeper for Con Inc. If a soft right type like Kirk is going to get murdered, it will only end up pushing anyone right of center even harder right. If even the moderates are going to catch a bullet from these freaks, why bother being moderate? They're going to kill you either way, so actually fight back.
The real question for me is, was it some university gender goblin pissed about him always coming onto campus and stirring things up, or was it some intel agency, like the Mossad. I have a hard time believing some blue haired, nose ring having freak could hit a target like that at 200 yards then escape capture.
Killing Kirk like that is ballsy and needlessly in your face, so it kind of stinks of something Israel would do. If it could be tracked back to them, things would get very, very interesting.
@Eiswald@sickburnbro Real, substantial, mandatory fines for any person or company that hires illegals, with mandatory prison time for a second offense, for both the head of the company and the HR drone responsible for hiring them. When individuals feel the pain, then will see the hiring of illegals vanish like a black father who owes child support.
@LukeAlmighty@PNS What, are you kidding? Do you have any idea where they've been, what they've been doing, or what they've put into their bodies? It would probably be more hygienic to eat day old road kill.
@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild@Escoffier@Eiswald But like I said, there's a bit less than 3 minutes missing from the security tape, and that doesn't seem to be enough time to properly strangle a person to death. So either they interpreted the meta-data wrong and there is more than 3 missing minutes, or something else transpired within that 3 minute time frame.
@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild@Escoffier@Eiswald He was supposedly hung from his bedframe. Not enough rope to snap the neck. I somehow doubt that many who hang themselves leave enough distance so that their neck snaps properly when they do it.
Then again, the way they describe how he hung himself, he could have simply stood up and any time before passing out.
@TrevorGoodchild@sickburnbro@Escoffier@Eiswald As much as I dislike it, the idea they replaced him with a pre-killed body then secreted him away is starting to seem more possible. Not enough time in the missing security footage for assassins to properly kill him through strangulation, you saying the bone fracture tends to rule out self strangulation ... what else is there?
@JoeBravo77 There's plenty of lefty talking heads on Scretwube that are liars, gas-lighters, propagandists, pervs and weirdos. In fact, come to think of it, all of them are.
Yet somehow Destiny is number one when it comes to being spiteful, hateful. He celebrated that guy getting killed at that rally, stood by it when called on it, and now he does the same with these kids. He's the archetype of the person who would help the Bolsheviks by pointing out the Kulaks that needed killing, then laughing about it. Destiny somehow embodies every awful trait of every other leftoid talking head who does what he does, but somehow manages to be extra hateful, extra vile in a way that's beyond physically, ideologically, or sexually repulsive. He's the kind of guy you hope is eaten first in a zombie apocalypse movie.
@jeffcliff@JoeBravo77 I didn't know you were a lefty talking head with a podcast on Screwtube. What is it? I might like to drop in and have a looks-see. Even if if a lefty doesn't think he's lying, he still usually is. People lie to themselves more than anyone else.
@jeffcliff@JoeBravo77 Leftism is at odds with nature, so it must either fudge things or at least ignore certain important truths. I was serious though about wanting to know the name of the podcast.
@judgedread People are used to resources continually becoming more abundant and cheaper. Most Malthusian predictions fail to manifest. This same expectation often carries over to labor. Those with the boomer mindset expect the cost of labor to keep going down (or at worst, remain steady) just like the cost of corn or cotton. An uptick in the cost of labor must be, to them, the fault of some unnatural economic condition, perhaps some bad government policy, or some other bad actor. The labor equivalent of price gouging.
The idea that there is an actual person on the other end of that transaction, a fellow countryman, a co-ethnic, someone trying to raise a family, never enters their head. If general purpose robots become economically viable, the boomers will realize one of their fondest dreams; infinite, reliable, inhuman, no complaining, low cost labor. Workers you can literally work to death, on the cheap.
@KarlDahl@sickburnbro I don't know how you could calculate a hard, reliable number, but the saving to government spending should be significant. EBT, cash aid, housing aid, healthcare spending, etc. Then there's the reduced stress on housing, the increase in actual American citizens being hired and increased wages, fewer illegals clogging up the prison, reduced numbers of car crashes where the at fault driver doesn't have insurance, reduced gang activity, etc.
Musk is pissed because the BBB doesn't outright cut enough spending, but he may be missing the savings that comes with a radical reduction in illegals.
