See the whole video. Adam is using a clickbait title but the problem is actually a local Dutch government not the bros themselves, and the solution is a tram train.

We (the rest of the world) need to de-yankify our trade relations as soon as we can.

That’s not the own you think it is.

Instead: if even countries like China, Indonesia and Turkey can stand against the Gaza Genocide, what the fuckity fuck is stopping YOUR country for standing against it?

Like, remember when Al Qaeda condemned Isis as being too extreme? That really tells you something about Isis, doesn’t it?

Edit: disclosure, my own ancestors were butchered by the Turks.

Ok, now go “inform” your shitty corpo democrats that they should PANDER BETTER to their own fucking electorate. Signed, a Canadian sick of stupid American politics. Do better yanks.

An ecosocialist world would not allow wealth inequality to become this bad.

We don’t live in one. The challenge is to make one.

It’s a biological fact when resources are constrained that a population will plateu.

Mice and fleas don’t have medicine, feminism, research centres and agriculture. Look at the world around you. In societies with high degrees of scarcity and high infant mortality, humans have tended to have a lot of babies. This is true now, and it was true historically. On the flipside, in societies with high development indexes, humans tend to not have many kids. From Japan to Sweden to Cuba, you see that fertility rates inversely correlate with human development. These are just observable facts.

LMDE because I get the robustness of Debian stable and the quality of life goodies of Mint.

I mean, the “I’m sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but” line was a dead giveaway from the start.

Oh, so you get to decide who gets to have kids and how many? And the “trailer park welfare mom” is your problem? Like, the straw(wo)man you made up with ingredients from classism, sexism and eugenics?

Yea, that makes you a regular fascist. The “eco” is just the excuse.

What a bullshit dilemma.

And you are wrong that wealth inequality causes the drop in birth rates. The birth rate was higher in the Dickensian times of Britain compared to now. If anything, it is wealth equality, universal positive rights, and women’s liberation that tend to make people have fewer kids.

A ecosocialist world is a sustainable one. An ecofascist world is just a death spiral.

You first, buddy.

If not, this is just a slippery slope argument to “those other people shouldn’t exist/have babies”. That’s just the door to eco-fascism.

The US is a rogue state.

You don’t get to bail out your fascist friends, Donnie.

Hold the line Lula!

ICE is a law enforcement agency. It’s a police. With a special immigration mandate.

I guess I am not clear what is meant by “handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process”. In Canada, things like applications and forms are handled by IRCC, the immigration ministry. Other than that, there is CBSA, which is like your CBP, but we don’t have a specialized interior immigration police.

Exactly.

There needs to be some kind of immigration enforcement just to handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process.

No there doesn’t. We don’t have anything similar like a dedicated anti-immigration police in Canada or in the EU. There are border protection agencies and there are immigration bureaucracies, but this special immigration police thing going on in the US, is not a thing.

Because genocide is a process.

We are talking comparable size, population and density to Manhattan. But with zero infrastructure, and with the Israeli army liberally bombing whenever they want.

• Rafah: 64 sq km, Manhattan 59 sq km.
• Populations are estimated at 2.1 million (all of Gaza, to be transferred into Rafah) vs 1.6 million respectively.
• That gives us densities of 32k people/sqkm in Rafah, 27k people/sqkm in Manhattan.

So basically, more people by square kilometer than Manhattan but close to zero infrastructure. Just imagine if all the infrastructure in Manhattan suddenly disappeared, but the people were stuck there and could not go anywhere. While being bombed. And blockaded.

Rafah is 64 square kilometers; that’s the size of San Marino (61 sq km).

Rafah is 64 square kilometers; that’s the size of San Marino (61 sq km).

No, the problem is ICE, an agency both parties nursed.
