  • Oh please, tell Chinese immigrants collecting soda cans about “the cycle of poverty”.

    We have equality of opportunity in this country, as easily demonstrated by looking at Chinese immigrants. Or other immigrants. I have a Brazilian friend who came over to the US when he was 9. Alcoholic absent father, single mom with 2 kids, hard life. He put himself through college by working as a building security guard and a couple other side gigs and renting a small room in a bad area (with tons and tons of roaches in the walls). Today he is a successful software engineer.

    Anyone can do it, if they so desire.

    I see zero valid reasons we should be interested in equality of outcome based on race. That’s literally racist.

    am i correctly understanding that you believe that enforcing the law automatically necessitates killing people?

    When the law declares that I have no freedom to choose what I do with my life, no freedom of movement and no private property, that isn’t a law I am going to ever accept. So it necessitates violence against me, obviously.

    ‘communists want to kill everyone’

    More like, “communists want to force their will upon everyone else which necessitates violence”

    ‘well maybe not all of them but the ones that dont will never succeed’

    Duh? Communism requires property appropriation. How exactly do you steal property without violence?

    ‘well having laws means killing people’

    That’s you, not me.

    What the fuck happened to the internet? What happened to “never share your real name or any identifying information on the internet”?

    some kind of digital identity organization(s) to be handling sensitive user data

    Like Equifax? Excuse me if I am a little skeptical of “trusted” organizations handling my data.
