Learning about the Hannibal Directive was a new low

Please go look up independent polls of single issue opinions in Texas, then go look up what voter suppression is.

Do you realize how many people you are telling to "just leave" regardless of means or ability to do so. It is not a viable "solution". There are activists groups all over the state that are making changes, but they need help, not derision.

Nailed it on every front.

I thank you for taking the time to make a good faith untangling of my admittedly heated comment. I admire the patience you have to fully explain what I could not be bothered to articulate.

"But why don't the slaves just move?"

This is the sickest, most inhuman mindset. You don't care about immigrants. You don't care about the people in Texas. And you sure as hell don't care about what is happening to immigrants in Texas.

Stop using immigrants' suffering as an excuse to do nothing about people's suffering in Texas. The correct response is not "just move", it is "how can I help you organize and stand up to your government."

I'd remind you that many of the people suffering and stuck in Texas are immigrats and their families.

Someone find the article of the Economist glorifying Britain's genocide in India from a back in the day. It seems like little has changed.

Good time to remind people there are more than two buttons, not just third party candidates, but local and Congressional organizing

Funny enough, I think that all started with a study about hormone mimicking plastics.

Republican: "Everything to the left of me is woke."

Republican pretending to be liberal online: "Everything to the left of me is tankie."

At the end of the day it's a word that can mean anything you want, and is only useful as a tactic to divide resistance against right wingers.
