politics

Are they though?

Restore seems less cucked to me so far, seeing way less nons repping the dark blue. Though to be honest both parties need younger leaders that are actually focused on the future and less on their cults of personality.

I think the part of the whole discussion that frustrates me is that its never people from MN weighing in on what they want for their state, it's always chuds from other states blindly cheering on ICE. Immigration is hard because its inherently interstate, and you have multiple states that are skirting the line of cooperating with the feds, and I sort of do think they should escalate, but there's also basically zero long-term planning behind any of this to begin with, so escalating without a plan is just cathartic and not actually going to achieve anything which is why they ultimately didn't imo. Separate, I do think the federal government would have justification to completely cut off all federal dollars flowing into Minnesota, until a federal commission audits for fraud, and I do think that would have enough of an effect to force cooperation along limited lines if you did it in a non-completely-inflammatory sorta way

sorry Plant, had already started writing that to Kribbles

I like Reform because they had an actual plan to get into power and enact change, there's a history behind their name and they were strategic with how they went about building their grass roots org and all, it's not fast and sexy but it will actually start to improve the UK immigration system and hopefully roll back some of the more overbearing dystopian shit the last few years have teased

and I just always have liked Farage, and I think people forget where he came from now when they throw around insults insinuating he's bought and paid for

I think if any country is in need of a massive political upheaval to fix things, its Britian

so I hope something good comes of this for them

Restore is just a meme party as far as I'm concerned, and I hate the grifters attached to it

and then the entire rest of ANZAC next please 🙏

All Canada needs is a party that is vaguely center left, but anti immigration

they will literally win

its just that easy

I’d vote for it

I’m literally single issue

I wouldn't because I don't vote, but I think they'd win

The US could use ANY political party that actually wanted to win and not just fundraise on the idea of winning

you get them at the state level, but nationally everyone is just in it to fundraise and enrich themselves

I think thats kind of the global issue where every single party is not actually aiming for a win, just to keep their positions

This is what I've been saying. If any political party legitimately wanted to win, I feel like it would be REALLY easy, but they all just shoot themselves in the foot constantly.

Mamdani, though I disagree with almost every policy he's doing, at least he doesn't seem to be corrupt and seems to earnestly try.

I don't really follow politics anymore. What has Mamdani actually accomplished?

they did not let Hassan into the private after party which was funny

Uniparty memes aside, they both benefit from being roughly 50-50 nationwide parties, but the nation overall suffers for it democracies need to be swingy because that's how you actually get change, and we've done too good of a job preventing that from ever occurring

I think its also an issue of I can assess someone as being objectively charismatic (like Mamdani) but also say I don't think he has any clue what he is doing nor do I think his plans are going to suddenly turn NYC into a Great World City again or w/e he's set his goal for

most western nations seem to have a national mandate that goes something like “nothing ever happens, it will only get worse”

I wouldn't be able to give a lot of specifics besides him upsetting Wall Street and cleaning the city. It seems efficient, but I don't know how monetarily efficient it actually is. He cleaned up a bunch of potholes quickly and the 12 inches of snow was cleared within, idk, a day or something?

We all intuitively know nothing major happens quickly, but its astounding how little is able to get accomplished by many governments/states

People (retards) talk about "late stage capitalism" but never bring up how much of the issue is the size of our bureaucracies, which is something that has a lot more historical relevance for how nations prosper and decline versus purely focusing on our economic systems

I’m fairly certain that term was coined in the 20s, whole ass century sure is a long time for a “late stage” lol, though I suppose Rome didn’t crumble in a day.

It is funny (in hindsight) how we also had this notion in the late 1920s that technology had peaked

or that we at least fully comprehended where the ends of our current advancement would be

And I definitely see similar prophetization today, since technological advances have felt mostly stagnant since the early 2010s

I heard canda and us are merging soon

good riddance tbh

i think i saw 79% of candians want this too

its perfect

True

So the whole arguement falls apart when peole talk about this at all. People haven't realized that gor mass deportations to be effective and cause the least amount of collateral they need to be broadly strategically smart. Which means being more static. Camping the social services (Banking, Hospitals, Schools, Liscensing, Ect) and vetting people trying to get state based benefits and using the existing powers of the patriot act to essentially wash out the vast majorities of illegals/immigrants on systems meant for the citizenry. People get pissed about it because it is a shittily planned & run tactical response to a strategic problem. Fundamentally unsound approach to the situation. This also exasturbates the inexperience of the hires being brought onboard. They should also have strictly started in Red & Purple states to see just how deep the fraud goes while securing electoral power. Because there is very real systemic issues in the voting system regarding immigrants. The baseline is that immigration law NEEDS to be enforced because of the sheer scale of fraud and disenfranchisement of peoples here. But this all could have been done in a way where it is the feds choking out the monetary side to force these people to simply leave. Raids will always fail due to the scale and the general rights of states. If people go out of their way to attack them at the social services then it is very obviously terroristic and will force police to be involved to allow everyone legal general access to these places, but only the shitheels dependent on the systems who take advantage of it would need to be there often. Also this could have coincided with the suspension of the doles until proof of citizenship is reviewed and benefits reapplied. Essentially a general forensic audit. I do agree with most of the below though. All that stuff is my general vent on it. It is a needlessly dumb issue because it is retarded on all fronts.

For context, is this directed at Kribbles post that I forwarded, or at me

Just kinda the situation as a whole w/ my general perspective because I see people cheer for the dumb shit ICE is doing and federal powers being expanded with little effect and of course the libtard brown people cry response as well

I just think it could be much cleaner and ran with very little relative collateral aside from monetary aches due to having to prove citizenship for benefits

Not to say I know all or think there would be no bumps in the road obviously. It is just trying to solve a multifaceted problem via blunt force

I don't disagree with your post the bottom line is a lot of people don't actually have a problem with illegal immigrants if they're not fucking around with anything, and/or believe that immigrants really aren't receiving state benefits because their understanding of the world is that of a 4 y/o

And honestly, I think some people are only anti-illegal immigrant because it is the socially acceptable way to be anti-government handout altogether

A lot of the things people are mad at aren't even really related to illegal immigration either, there are so many related issues and broad-scale illegal immigration is the one with the least political inertia to solve

The macro effects are pretty obviously bad

but a lot of them are also these very abstract concepts that are hard to get your average person to understand or care about

so both sides start to link issues together, and then people oppose these new frankenstein positions that are only barely related to illegal immigration in the first place

Trump can use his mandate to deport violent illegals, but he cant conceivably make a dent in the general handout issues both because that is largely state level, and because congress is incapable of reforming anything

okay but men can carry out abortions. we still win.

so now the US knows to take out their nukes first I guess

or just be prepared to hit them with an emp or something after they launch

When you have nukes:

When you don’t have nukes:

urani-yumm!!!

The head of Dunkin Canada is an anti-Immigration guy

wants to hire exclusively "real Canadians"

If he does, based

600 stores planned, mostly in cities as standalones

Tim Hortons CEOs need to be shot and killed for all their lobbying for temp indian workers

Apparently Quebec is their #1 target market, they've determined they hate foreign workers at Tim Hortins the most

or have the worst Tim Hortins by some metric that's unclear

Quebec being the most angry about indians would make sense

The french are the most protectionist about their culture as far as any group in Canada goes

As a guy who does not like Dunkin Donuts, but hates modern Tim Hortins more

Go get em

I don't see this succeeding, but it would be great it they force tim hortons to sweat enough to stop being such a fucking shithole

I feel like leaning into the Canada branding

is going to help them a lot
