1. They are willing to work for less than a normal American living wage. This reduces the amount that an American can work for for the same job. Globalists love this.
2. They bring and establish a different culture eroding a way of life that is considered American.

Those are two things I think someone might say about immigrants. Additionally, there’s general disdain for the poor and many immigrants come here to escape worse poverty.

Poor… And not normal poor, but wartime poor. It was invented by Heinz to sell beans in England.

This is a popular understanding, but the science suggests a different process.

The brain filters sensory data based on utility, which is itself defined by the mind’s internal model. This results in a curated reality that omits any information the model deems irrelevant to its current goals.

We often begin to act before the conscious mind is even aware of the impulse. In this framework, the mind functions as a narrator—backfilling intent after the fact to maintain the illusion of a cohesive story. This model is not static; it updates when the curated data produces a ‘prediction error’ too large for the narrator to ignore. A moment of narrative break down result in a recalibration. However, when the data is filtered and the intent is retroactive, then ‘meaningful predictions’ are primarily a mechanism for the mind to validate the model it has already constructed.

Capitalism, (needlessly) increases competition for resources, access to markets, and even results in fierce competition over abstract things.

Because there is an increased competition for resources, resource hoarding increases as well. Managed release of those resources along with who deserves access to those resources is a political endeavor. Not at the level of the state, but when you end up having a laissiz-faire system, there is no state to prevent hoarding of necessities. And now a situation can emerge where one company hoards a necessary resource and manages its release to some and not others. They will have become the state.

They missed these things to become managers and bosses. The nominal increase in pay was so that they could secure a decent retirement and put their kids through college. One day, they hope their kids can do the same while at the same time telling them they shouldn’t.

Was it worth it? I don’t know, but it’s not as easy as the meme makes it sound.

God dammit Donut!

One of my favorite podcasters (C. Derek Varn) finished his podcasts reminding his listeners to “Protect Your Peace”. There are several ways of doing this. This post is one way. Minneapolis is doing it a different way.

I, oddly enough, agree with you. I was hoping my pun(?) would land. My brain, thinks not. Minds think.

Lol

I didn’t know there was a titular line in Star Wars.

I think not. - My Brain

I believe it’s just two spaces.
That seems to have worked.
