      some people are just trolls but afk as well….
      just think about how many internet trolls there are… and write anything disagreeing with anything and a troll will find it and try to argue the opposite side.:. but disingenuously and with the sole purpose of pissing you off….
      then if you look at their post history, it’s entirely that sort of thing.
      then you have to realize that they’re not all just edgey teenagers exploring the dark side, most of them are full grown adults.
      i think a lot of loud trumpets are just trolls living the roll. moral outrage is very entertaining for them because they don’t feel real emotions or have moral motivations….
      i’ve heard that america has a much larger percentage of psychopaths because of the way the country was founded… a: genocide, and b: people leaving their family and friends behind probably forever, to gamble on a future…

        I work with a person like that and it’s driving me up a wall.

        He starts arguments for the sake of arguments. He is extremely vocal about anything that he knows will cause any sort of disagreement with anyone. Actively looks for ways to pit other people against each other. Endlessly talking shit to and about everyone. Just an annoying, toxic person. Leadership sees him as harmless, but he is a real cause of a lot of drama in the workplace. Usualy not Involving him directly, but often caused or stirred up by him. Motivated entirely by two things, his amusement, and his money. Everyone else just exists in his world to amuse him.

        collage educated, smart, reletivly successful. But fucking toxic.

        My point is you are absolutly correct. These people exist. They are emotional stunted and live for cause problems for others. It’s kinds funny for a little bit but gets realy fucking old realy fast.

          i think it’s the next level after compulsive/pathological liars….
          they’re pretty dangerous people, really… especially if they know you’re onto them.
          i’ve heard 5% of people are sociopaths… that’s 1/20, and most sociopaths don’t kill people.
          i don’t think it’s emotionally stunted as much as it is emotionally vacant.

    “I’m on of the good ones!” They scream as they are being put into an ICE van!

    “I voted for Trump!” They plead.

    “I’n here legally!” They cry.

    ICE cares not for their screams. For ICE only cares that they are non-white*.

    *Don’t worry white immigrants. One day, you too shall be deported. Once all the non-white people are gone.

            Hell yeah welcome to the right side of History, if anyone’s left to write it. I’m 41 and I was pretty much an anarchist punk by the time I was 18 (I misunderstood the concept but I got it eventually). It’s funny, I became less radical as I got older to where I called myself a democratic socialist. I was inspired by Bernie. But the events of the past eight years and my experiences in life have brought me right back to being a radical leftist.

            Good luck, stay safe, have solidarity with the people of this fucked up world.

            Oh and read this.

    The Cubans thought they were safe because they’ve been staunch Republicans. One of the key demographics in keeping Florida red.

    Well, now they learn. And for people thinking oh they’ll release him when they find out they can’t deport him because there are no flights to Cuba…

    ICE asks where you’re from but they don’t take your word for it. They can easily decide you’re from anywhere else, like Haiti or El Salvador. And with quotas they are now incentivized to do so, rather than before where the paperwork incentivized them to accept you were not deportable.

      I always thought it was funny Cubans voting Republican. I am told it’s because they fear socialism because of Castro, so they vote for fascism. Even though the DNC is still far into the capitalism territory. It makes no sense to me.

        The first wave of Cuban immigrants to the US came immediately after the revolution, and it was mostly rich people. Castro was redistributing the land and the wealth, executing former police torturers, and going after crime lords who had been safe under the Batista regime, and every worm that could escape did so. These types were allowed into the US for their propaganda value because of course they wouldn’t have any trouble going on TV and talking about how horrible communism was and crying about how their plantations were taken away from them by the government. That group of rich people and cops was already right wing by American standards when they came here, and set the tone for all Cuban migrants who came after.

        They are heavily propagandized by decades of fear mongering that the Democrats are radical leftists. I’ve seen the same thing in people who grew up in Soviet countries. Any hint of leftism is a red flag to them and plays into the propaganda the right wing puts out. No amount of reasoning about capitalism and universal public goods co-existing in other countries gets through to them.

        I think they will. It’s a pretty tight community. At the very least this is going to fracture their status as a dependable demographic.

      “refuse to feel bad”?

      I’m openly laughing about this. I always feel bad when bad things happen to people, even to bad people, but this guy literally asked for it, and persuaded others to also ask for it.

    I don’t actually feel bad for this guy at all. He was a scammer and probably deserves to be deported, but I’m not going to credit Trump for accidentally doing a good thing, his rhetoric just happened to align with reality for a very brief moment.

    The system is working as designed. This is how the system was built to work.

    Dude campaigns for rich asshole, rich asshole deports him on principle.

    The worker shortage that will be caused by deporting illegal workers will not be filled by the fat lazy Americans who are unemployed. They refuse to do such work because it is beneath them. So we’ll have a massive gap, especially on farms. The farmers will take this to the government, and the farmers will get even more compensation because the government keeps fucking them over. Over and over and over again… At this point, I think farmers qualify as government employees.

      I am not a fan of the narrative that Americans are too lazy to take jobs that are being worked by immigrants. It’s just not true. Americans won’t take these jobs because these jobs aren’t going to pay what Americans demand. Not because they’re lazy. These immigrants are being taken advantage of and are being paid way less than they deserve simply because they’re illegal immigrants. Them being deported isn’t going to suddenly make these jobs higher paying positions. The problem is with corporations. Not with immigrants nor with American citizens (well except the fucked up americans that voted for trump).

        I just want to clarify that I’m saying the fat and lazy Americans won’t take the job, not that Americans are fat and lazy therefore they won’t take the job.

        There’s a bit of a difference and I just want to be clear about what I’m saying here.

        There’s a lot more to consider on this and how it impacts inflation and the viability of American farming as an industry. Since I’m neither and agricultural expert, nor an American, I’m going to dip instead.

        Good luck neighbors.

      Famed Nixon and Reagan supporter and Cuban nobility exile Desi Arnaz. His pastimes included drinking and prostitutes. He’d be a trump man.

      Edit: fun fact, his family went into exile not with the Cuban revolution with Castro, but the one that put Batista in power. His father was part of the corrupt Machado government. People were not happy with the aristocrats being fat and happy during the depression. He liked to portray himself as a rags to riches story but curiously also went to one of the most elite private Catholic high schools in the states with Al Capone’s son in the middle of the depression. Give me a break.
