    Let people call each other out on their bullshit.

    Edit: I am very sorry, recent political atmosphere has me on a knife edge - and I can be mean. Please accept my apology, I’m sorry if I made your day worse.

      I think the goal here is to bully me away from posting. But I won’t. You’re the ones who are bigoted.

        I already wrote my goal. To give people a better picture of OP’s views. You should read more carefully the replies you get lol

        You’re the ones who are bigoted

        LMAO

        “I’m not racist, you’re racist”

        This is still you, yes?

        The whole DEI stuff seems a bit like a Trojan horse to sneak in Marxist propaganda. Forcing people to accept immigrants with different cultural pov in a democracy is dangerous because you can end up relinquishing your country to another country’s agenda.

          Misinformation and disinformation does exactly that right? It uses ideological lines to create polarization.

          So, let’s say a democratic country favors pro-choice policies, but then has an influx of immigrants who are anti-abortion, and now that population is greater. That’s a change of values because the population shifted to a majority opinion which favors a different view point.

          If a country has an idealized view of how it wants to be, then I think it’s fair to expect immigrants to integrate and assimilate. I don’t think that has anything to do with xenophobia or excluding different cultures, as long as the core values of a country are maintained. For example, if a country wants to maintain a democratic socialist society, and a greater population of capitalists immigrate to it, then I think that socialist society would want to restrict immigration as well.

          None of that is bigoted, it’s just pointing out how democracies are fragile.

        I’m not attempting to bad mouth you, I mean what I say, if someone thinks someone is spouting bullshit - they should be allowed to call them out.

        However, and this is where my problem is, no one seems to be reading what you’re actually writing. It seems like you’re being brigaded, which is wrong. The downvote button is not an “I dislike this” button, it is an “I don’t think this contributed to the discussion” button.

          The only people who are not bothered by being called a racist or bigot are actually those things. If I had to guess these people know I am not those things, but they just don’t like what I’ve said. My guess is that it’s probably .ml alt accounts.
