  • It this a case where the economically repressed are being used to breed an ugly us vs them situation, to pit them against immigrants using their own national xenophobia, tribalism and false nostalgia? The way to fight this is to feed the wealth back to the people. Tax (or eat) the rich, and education. Also listen to their valid concerns. Just making their ‘right wing’ group illegal will only further resentment. I doubt the people are really right wing in the economic sense at all. The bigotry can be much more easily addressed one people feel safe and secure.



  • Yes, some have. And some people of the following generations have been lazy and unable to comprehend the hardships of the post-WWII years. But it’s not all of them, not even the majority. It’s bigotry to throw shade on a whole group. The divisions are played up in the media as per the billionaire’s way to control the masses. They make you hate the boomers, they make maga hate immigrants, etc. it’s so you don’t focus enough on the real enemies - those who allow corporations to keep wages and benifits low while making a lot of money and paying no taxes.











  • Well ACTUALLY, different jurisdictions have different ages of consent. The laws are pretty clearly detailed. Just like child marriage is legal in many places even in the U.S. (with parental permission), and just like it’s legal for billionaires to not pay taxes. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s morally correct. An 18yo with a 50yo is morally dicey although legal. A 17yo with 19yo is legal or not depending on where you are. What’s morally correct? It depends a lot more on the situation than the local.
