This is why you don’t go off of headlines. That statement is true. Immigration HAS destabilized society. THAT DOESN’T MEAN IMMIGRANTS ARE BAD OR ARE TO BE BLAMED. A mass influx of people always destabilizes things. How you stabilize MATTERS.

I get it’s hard to NOT believe I’m trying to defend Dems any chance I get, but I will defend most descriptive statements. In politics, yes, optics and rhetoric obviously matter, but if a Republican or a Leftist said this, I would also say it’s true BUT the quality of the statement matters just as much. I can almost guarantee Clinton said something along the lines of helping build countries up or getting rid of certain elements like dictators, etc in order to help other nations

context matters, and the fact that she said this after our government launched a campaign of ethnic cleansing against our own population is extremely telling.

I’d probably get into the meat of the statement a bit more, because I understand the leftist perspective of imperialism and other examples they’d give of American fuck-ups, but I firmly believe in some, not all, neoliberal principles as opposed to isolationism and just “leaving them alone”. Nation-building is a cornerstone of one of my beliefs.

And sure, that’s why I said optics do matter. I hate that it does because I’ve always seen optics as pearl-clutching, but the reality of the situation is people do care about that shit. I don’t think it’s her being tone deaf either. Remember, Obama deported a lot of people and so did Bush. Immigration has always been an issue that has overlapped administrations, including the one she was involved in.

Yes, we can argue and debate the facts and history of those admins involvement regarding immigration reform, but is anyone really expecting Hillary Clinton to come out and say “Abolish ICE” or “Open borders now”?

no, none of us are, and you’re touching on some of the exact reasons why we’ve been trying to raise awareness on the fact that our country has always been fascist since its creation.

(meaning we’re not expecting any institutional dems or politicians to meaningfully come out in opposition of ICE. Hakeem Jeffries had an interview recently where he started stuttering after a journalist brought up “what about abolishing ice”😭)

It’s not apologia nor is nationalistic. You stated that the United States has been fascist since its inception so I’m asking you to define fascism with how you’re using it. Are you using Mussolini’s, Paxton’s, Griffin’s, or just “state violence = fascism”?

I don’t even know what your definition of nationalism is either 🤦‍♂️ It’s fine you don’t want to have the conversation, but you can’t keep shitting your pants instead of engaging when I’m being pretty reasonable.

disengaging from a conversation after repeatedly stating why = “shitting your pants” okay lol if you say so.

Yes lol. Again, it’s fine if you don’t want to have the conversation. I’m not going to force you, but you can’t keep saying you don’t want to engage while also saying stupid ass shit because you’re in too pissy of a mood due to your inability to do anything other than argue with rhetoric.

all you can actually rely on is ad hom lmao that’s wild. The difference is you actively tried to dispel the notion that American white supremacy is fascism; but keep clinging on to those apples-to-oranges comparisons as you look for that “ice wall”
