"We" means "America." Unlimited immigration is not popular. Every time any variant of "anyone who wants to come here should be allowed if they just fill out a form" is proposed, it's soundly rejected by the voters.
Then there should be plenty of counter-protests in support of ICE. Hell, you wouldn't even need ICE, since the people should be ratting out illegals to the cops themselves if illegals are unpopular.
 
Marx's most compelling idea in my opinion was exploitation. You can very easily convert a young person (or even an older one) into a Marxoid without them needing to read a single page of drivel by just explaining to them that corporate profit equals the value they create minus what they actually get paid. In other words you are being exploited if you work. This idea is fucking catnip to people.
 
³It shook me a few years ago when the bin Laden letter was trending as being "rediscovered," and I realized I was surrounded by adults who don't remember reading it when it first came out because they weren't born or they were like 3 years old.
When they announced bin laden was killed I was at my apartment watching the Obama speech. I was and am of the opinion that the 9/11 commission report was not an honest analysis of the days events. When the narrative Obama stated was "we found bin laden, killed him, took him to a naval vessel, verified his DNA and dump the body overboard out of respect" that was the moment I said "oh, well Obama is one of the boys" like Bill hicks had said when Clinton started bombing Iraq.

I was sure that people, en masse, would look at the story presented and say "Oh that's bullshit, how did they have his DNA? Is there a little DNA on every naval vessel in the gulf? They have instant Bin laden DNA tests, I thought that took weeks. The government is lying about 9/11 and now everyone will see it!!!"

Instead there was footage of a bunch of georgetown undergrads having a kegger outside of the Capitol and chrering. After I did the math and determined these kids were about 9 during 9/11 I thought "what is their problem with 9/11, did it interrupt spongebob".

Now older i realize these kids were probably inudated with fear porn in public school and were celebrating the death of the person they were made to fear their entire formative years. Its like if when i was 9 someone told me cobra commander was real and when i was 19 lt falcon announced Gung-Ho had just capped him. I probably would have used it as an excuse to get drunk on a Wednesday.
Tires do not cost that much.
Buddy if the arguement is "used/retread/patched tires are dangerous" and your reply is "just buy the 80$ ones at walmart" I don't know what point you're trying to make. North of the Mason Dixon line where it snows 6 months a year adequate new tires are 100% gonna cost you 200$ a tire on the low end for a sedan, god help you if you have a pickup.
 
IM POOR, I don’t have $1200 or $1500 sitting around for tires
I'm also poor, and I also disagree with the blatant abuse of our lax immigration laws that benefit illegals, but the thing is, since I care about that cause, you sure as shit expect I'm going to pay for the legal option. Anything else is just an excuse, and I don't think you really care about these topics, which is fine, but pretending to and doing the opposite of your beliefs anyway is just completely ridiculous.

I literally went in to town fair and said “I am poor, what are the cheapest tires you could possibly sell me,” and they said the cheapest tires they had were $300, and they would not sell pairs, only the full set

Worse, this was like five years ago, so it’s DEFINITELY more expensive now
You went to one location 5 years ago and you didn't bother to try a different location or try again in the past 5 years?
Do you get points by referring people? You'll have to show me those deals. You could DM or post on my page if you don't want to clutter this thread.
No idea, I just wanted to do the bit.
 
Then there should be plenty of counter-protests in support of ICE. Hell, you wouldn't even need ICE, since the people should be ratting out illegals to the cops themselves if illegals are unpopular.
That's not how that works. Not protesting means you are against the current "protests" in question. Educating people and yourself is a great counterprotest to start.
 
Nobody beats a Town Fair Tire deal. NOBODY.
Oh, I thought Town Fair Tire was an actual store to find tires. I get it now.

I hope you know that having a car can be a money sink.
 
lol yeah that's a funny one. I think there's "critical" Marx exegesis that does mention his "problematic" views (from a modern leftie viewpoint).

I think Marx was a smart guy but communism is just retarded because the human doesn't work that way. Case closed.
Marx was a "smart guy" the way any wordcel who crawls up his own ass and manages to convince himself reality doesn't exist is. In other words, he uses mental gymnastics and verbal fog to come to idiotic conclusions, which certainly takes a high IQ, but should impress nobody. Here's my favorite stupid Marx quote:

For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a shepherd, or a critical critic and must remain so if he does not wish to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, to fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have in mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.

Nobody talks about this because it's so incredibly fucking retarded. Yet it's at the core of Marx's ideology. Marx believed all injustice flowed from the inequality intrinsic to the division of labor, therefore, in the communist society, there would be no division of labor at all, no specialists, no careers, nothing like that. The magic of communism would unlock human potential so that every individual would be better at all things simultaneously than the most skilled expert is at anything under capitalism. You'd just randomly do different jobs all the time, sometimes switching jobs multiple times per day, with Society guiding your hand.
 
Do the commies know their biggest contributor is from one of the faces of capitalism?
Yes, they don't care. If it means hurting white people and or western civilization they'll happily ally with even the most corrupt and monopolistic of corporations.

The modern racial Communism isn't the same thing as classical Marxism.
