eliyora:princethunderflare:jamesmasinoart:In about a week, less than 1% of America raised $18 million dollars to fund a steel wall. How impossibly evil are we? So I had to respond with a parody for financing something that actually matters, replacing Flint, Michigan’s lead-filled water pipes. You can trust me that this is not a scam, after all, I’m using my REAL name. https://www.gofundme.com/FixFlintsWater (Somebody already donated $100 before I finished writing this post, maybe there’s some hope for humanity)Walls are evil now? Looking forward to you demolishing that house of pure villainy you live in.Ever context-savvy and intellectually honest, aren’t you…The WALL isn’t evil. The fact that the one percent will literally throw millions at a fucking steel wall as some dumbass means of dealing with immigration problems, especially when there are vastly more important issues that this money could be put towards is the problem.You shouldn’t be absolutist about your opinions. Opinions cannot be right or wrong. They are opinions.Wanting a solid barrier to prevent people from entering the country illegally is rational. We vet people because we want to make sure we aren’t harboring fugitives of foreign nations. Illegal immigration is also a gateway crime. A disproportionate amount of crime is committed by illegal aliens. They also are a drain on our resources, taking welfare and agreeing to paid below minimum wage so…who’s going to hire an American instead of cheating the system?Yes, Flint has a water crisis that has been almost impossible to fix. But don’t pretend like illegal aliens aren’t a problem. Flint’s problem is also more a testament to the mismanagement of Michigan state. Illegal aliens impact the entire nation. I mean, not really a fare comparison.Now the reason I mocked that NPC instead of taking his demonizing seriously is because we already voted on this. Trump ran on the promise to build the wall and won. He has pushed Congress to fund the wall, and they refused to even vote on the matter. How about the people against the wall accept that they lost and back away with their dignity intact? I’m tired of them making stupid arguments that walls are somehow ineffective barriers and trying to guilt me out of supporting my own country. Only makes them look bad. -- source link
