In order to stop the genocide we need to vote in the people who will destroy the country and commit even more genocide, in the hopes the wreckage of the country can be salvaged into something better. I’m comfortable making this choice, because the extra genocide will only be happening to other people, not to people like me who look just like them over here in the states.
What’s the downside? If they move away, you haven’t lost anything because they weren’t paying taxes anyway. If they stay, you have just gained tax revenue. And it isn’t like you are going to lose a lot of sales tax money or real estate tax money, since they are not going to stop visiting Paris and buying luxury goods and are not going to sell their properties (that’s why they are so wealthy in the first place).
Also, if they move away then you have fewer billionaires fucking up politics.
I’m not seeing anything about hating people. I’m seeing the point being made that there are still lasting repercussions to slavery to this day. The wealth and power gained from being a slaver was handed down, since wealth and power are both easily handed down and easily grown.
So a 15 year old has been in prison for 15 years for a conviction based solely on witness IDs from a book of photos. Two of the three witnesses said in court they weren’t 100% sure their ID was correct. There was absolutely no other evidence linking him to the crime.
At this point, even if he is guilty I might feel like 15 years is a good sentence for a first time offender who was only 15 at the time of the crime.
The US needs this kind of law. With multiple people switching from Dem to Rep after elections are done, it really undermines the will of the people. Most of them didn’t vote for that specific person because they love that specific person. They voted for someone who represents their ideal government. So when that person does a 180, it should open them up to being kicked out by the party or put up for a special election.
How are we supposed to oppress people if we don’t have people to oppress?!?!
You’re telling me the country that doesn’t allow gay marriage, doesn’t allow adoption by gay couples, and criminalized couples leaving the country to get a surrogate baby (i.e. gay couples) has an issue with cops being homophobic?
And the country whose soccer fans regularly make monkey noises at black players has an issue with cops being racist?
