and to have the U.S. economy implode.

Well fortunately the latter is happening as we speak.

Isn't the justification that no American is willing to shit jobs like mow lawns for $5/hr?

Oh no, I'll have to pay a teenager to do it so he learns the value of a good work ethic.

How terrible for America.

That's the justification to import them, and it ignores all the negatives such as
Net drain on the economy
Destruction of Social and Ethnic identity
Increase in violent crime

LOL no. American economy was always built around the exploitation of cheap labor, that's why the steady influx of immigrants since the very first days of the nation.
And what social and ethnic identity? America never had anything resembling that, maybe with the exception of black culture, lol. Countries that have a cohesive social and ethnic identity also have a history that goes back at least 1000 years.
As for violent crimes, well, I'd say you should be concerned about the 13% more than the Latinos.

Oh no, I'll have to pay a teenager to do it so he learns the value of a good work ethic.

See, that's the right answer. Except that teenagers won't lift their ass away from the computer for $5/hr.

One thing that was good under Trump was with the rising tide of family income the whole "who will do this for that little?" was largely removed, and people had to actually pay up to get things done right. There was an actual sense of worth that a person was given, and people largely would pay a bit more for something better.

Now we're back to trying to cut corners here and there to offset increases in gas and food.

somehow I doubt this post is going to be very popular.

It also does nothing to fix the country they're fleeing from. If people can just always emigrate from corrupt shithole countries, said countries will remain corrupt shitholes, because the populace will never get mad enough to demand change.

For all the sound and fury of the Trump years, people seemed generally more satisfied with their lives. The only ones making an uproar were the terminally online.

The guys will for their fortnite skin, the girls will be selling nudes on snapchat, for their Louis Vuitton stuff.

Oh no, my karma. LOL.

Yeah I was kind of thinking that, but didn't want to say it outright. Guys will just go steal shit. Ahh, to be young and impoverished again....

It's a good point, but can say the same thing about the states. For example California will keep being shitty because anyone who doesn't like it can just pick up and move to Florida. That's why there's never an incentive to fix California, anyone who doesn't like it can leave.

That was literally me at the age of 14 in the 8th grade

With the help of my mom I printed out a fuck-ton of flyers I made on the computer and stuck them in people's mailboxes around my neighborhood. I got a few calls, got complimented on my good job, then word of mouth spread to where I was helping a real estate agent clear a lawn that had grass that was above knee height because the house was abandoned, but they were going to clean it up and put it on the market. Almost blew out the lawn mower cutting that shit, and the fucking bugs that were coming out of the lawn were insane.

On the plus side, I had enough money saved up to buy myself a proper entertainment center for my man cave. Before that it was just a tv ontop of a shitty cart.

 

[Candlelight Desolation]

I wouldn't even insult Nero by comparing him to Biden.

If Biden is equivalent to any of the Roman Emperors, he's Honorius.

Biden hasn't burned anyone alive for fun yet or kicked a pregnant woman in the stomach in a fit of rage.

Joe hasn't, but I have my doubts about Hunter. My cousin in Kiev said he heard some rumors.

Ah, there it is.

"AMERICAN NEVER HAD A SOCIAL IDENTITY!"

Gotta love that leftist/hippy bug-screech.

Those Afghan USAID workers and their kids would beg to differ.

I have more of an outsider's view on America and from what I saw there is definitely not one cohesive social identity. Not denying there are several strong regional ones (southern, midwest, urban soy bugmen, etc) but nothing that unifies every American from coast to coast. Better than Canadians, mind you, but that's not saying much.

What is it with authoritarian regimes having a knack for shitposting? Do they just not give a fuck, unlike the West's priggish self-righteousness?

Well not today. This is patriotic PSA for war bonds is practically hate speech now.

The generic American identity is so ingrained in the whole world that slopes in Thailand will ask for their "one phone call" when they get arrested.
