I noticed that too. Something USA has in common with Europe is the censorship of critiques of left-wing violence. Meanwhile, there's endless annual rehashing of the old story of the Jan6 entrapment theater sting operation carried out by the Fedsurrection vs people asking questions and demanding answers. I'm surprised it's not a USA holiday at this point like Guy Fawkes Day in the UK. When powerful people censor, that means they want left-wing violence to happen. And it is indeed happening all over the world, not just the USA.

It’s because they can’t afford healthier food options genius

This argument is baseless, and you habitually use ad homs as your go-to evidence on this site. You give American Democrats a bad rap here. Normal people around the world must hold back a lot of mocking of you due to basic decency.


You Americans have both the fattest and the richest poor people on the planet. The very idea that a poor American must buy a 5-dollar bag of Doritos because a can of beans and a box of rice just cost so much more, well, at that point, you are only gaslighting yourself, and mocking yourself in the process in the most smug and condescending way imaginable.

Studies have found that SNAP participants are more likely to be obese, have poorer dietary habits, and consume more "junk food," sugar-sweetened beverages, and high-fat dairy. So SNAP literally kills people before their time. At least Canada's euthanasia program is honest.

Madness of the Crowds is a good book if you don't mind UK literature.

Instant resolution of dissonance is a relatively new thing among crowds used to instant digital gratification.

Deportation isn’t due process, that doesn’t make any sense at all.


Look it up then. Come back to me when you have done your due diligence on due process for civil infractions. What you may be implying is that people who enter illegally and break a criminal law should have a right to the due process for that crime and not the due process of deportation for the civil offense defined by your Immigration and Nationality Act § 212(a)(6)(A)(i). That's not a right that exists in your country, because your laws allow your prosecutors to drop the criminal offense under "discretion," charge for the civil offense, and the use due process for that civil offense. You might make a wild racist argument that declares "brown skin" people should have a right to a day in court. But that's not how your laws work, regardless of your racist ideologies or religions.

I get that there are multiple ways to do that, but it's still paying a 3rd party (government) to seek (finder's fee) medical services for you.

Whether it's Obamacare subsidies to insurance companies or single payer Medicare. The government itself doesn't provide these services. They just spend a portion of your tax money to connect you to a service. Sometimes it's a little, sometimes it's a lot. But it is still a finder's fee. How much better would it be if you simply found a medical service yourself without a middleman? I get some people don't mind paying the extra convenience fee, but must people are generally okay with shopping by themselves for the best deal instead of paying someone else to shop for them.

Then stop talking about due process like it's one of your usual oversimplifications. Detaining and questioning when ICE already has evidence of undocumented people in the area is due process. Deportation is due process. Your side goes so far in oversimplifications that it calls legal deportations "kidnappings." Your side calls detaining for questioning "whisking."

Stop with the oversimplifications. Then you can use the phrase "due process" seriously, and not the oversimplified way Al Capone would have used it.
