nondescripthandle ,

I don’t think its super likely that the US escalates into full civil war, but if we did, Historians would probably put the start date somewhere before the current date. These types of stochastic attacks always share similar motives. From the guy who tried to blow up a 5g tower to the guys shooting up groups of POC or LGBTQ.

Here’s a hint, Fox News.

Though that’s just one major contributor to conservative propaganda. There are more extreme conservative propaganda stations that push even more ridiculous lies, hate, and falsehoods daily.

Dont cross illegally, simple as.

Hmm yes because crossing legally is so easy

Kaboom ,

So what if it isnt?

troglodytis ,

It’s not illegal to cross if you’re seeking asylum

Kaboom ,

Yes it is, its two seperate acts. Illegally crossing is illegal. Seeking asylum is nor.

kandoh ,

It is literally the only option if you want your case processed in less than 10 years. Don’t act like the immigration system works, it’s broken, intentionally broken to get these results.

Have you ever broken the speed limit? Because crossing the U.S. border illegally is a civil violation, not a crime, as is breaking the speed limit. So you’re the safest driver in the world, right? Either that or you might be a bit hypocritical.

NocturnalMorning ,

As long as it’s not you that’s fleeing a war torn country, or extreme poverty who cares, am I right?

yeather ,

There’s a legal route that does not involve border hopping.

NocturnalMorning , (edited )

Ah right, it couldn’t possibly be people are entering the country “illegally” because the process to get into the country takes forever, and is broken. Always their own fault am a i right?

Edit: Here an article about a specific case of legal asylum. They applied for it, and are still waiting to get approved for a work application, and don’t have a court date for asylum until 2026, and that’s if they even get approved for all this. So you tell me, would you wait 3-4 years for a process to play out while you could get shipped back to a place you don’t feel safe?

They can’t know what the meds really have in them like fentanyl without testing them all and considering how many people are invading the country, that would be pretty hard to do with every pill they find

Sanguine ,

You think people are smuggling fentanyl into the US this way? Do you realize how inneficient that would be. Drugs like that are brought in by the truckload not in a 90 count bottle of blood pressure medication.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Migrants claiming asylum at the border are not who is smuggling in Fentanyl.

    Americans are. Because they aren’t searched as thoroughly. This really should be obvious to anyone who looks past the anti-migrant rhetoric and just uses basic logic for a second.

    Jesus Fucking Christ, you’re an idiot.

    Young men are the most likely to be targeted by cartels, more likely to be able to find work, and less likely to have families holding them back.

    “Military aged men”

    Aka any male from like 9 to 90 who has two arms and can hold a weapon if conscripted/pressed.

    Such a bullshit term to justify violence and death against men.

    Someonelol ,
    @Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    It’s easy enough to find out if the meds they have isn’t fentanyl. If they’re routinely using them without dropping dead then they’re telling the truth. I don’t want to hear “but they might have them disguised among the pills” or some other nonsense.

    whostosay ,

    So the fuck what if they are. They’re not being put into American prisons or society, the risk of them being fent does not influence anything other than the well-being of themselves and anyone else near them dumb enough to take an unknown substance for free considering they don’t have personal belongings in these migrant prisons. It’s just unadulterated malice.

    Edit: you’re not wrong, I just needed to angrily rant with you, people are fucking stupid.

    Blankzy ,
    @Blankzy@reddthat.com avatar

    Police cant make them ingest the pills to see if they drop dead or not and fentanyl pills are disguised as other pills all the time. And it’s not like they’re being singled out, anytime you get arrested and have pills on you, it’s not like they hold them for you until you’re out of jail. You never see them pills again.

    too_high_for_this ,

    How are you so confidently stupid?

    Jails absolutely hold on to an arrestees personal items, including medicine, and return them upon release.

    A look at your profile reveals that you are pursuing a political agenda and are only here to spread right-wing propaganda. One question: Do you actually get paid to do that?

    WhatYouNeed ,

    Bet they are paid in rubles.

    toofpic ,

    I don’t agree with that person, but you’re criticizing said person for having opinions and writing about it. They don’t owe you writing less, writing left-wing propaganda, or reducing their interest in politics.
    You could write “you’re an asshole!” and you would be right, but don’t take away a person’s right to comment stuff on the internet.

    DandomRude ,
    @DandomRude@lemmy.world avatar

    I have no problem at all with someone expressing their opinion, even if that opinion is not mine. But this account is less than a day old and posts exclusively pro-Trump content. From this I conclude that it is a fake account run by a think tank or similar. I think it’s important to point this out, because organized opinion manipulation with enormous financial resources has nothing to do with free discourse - quite the opposite.

    Deceptichum ,
    @Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

    Nah, take away their ability to comment, ban the fuckers, and move on with life.

    Nothing good ever comes from freeze peaching alt-right propaganda.

    Blankzy ,
    @Blankzy@reddthat.com avatar

    Nope, just a hard working patriot here. I don’t understand why it is that anyone who disagrees with the left gets accused of being paid or accused of being a bot

    DandomRude , (edited )
    @DandomRude@lemmy.world avatar

    Is that so? And what exactly makes you a patriot?

    Anyway, to clarify: it’s just hard to imagine that there can be people who are so deluded that they would follow the dull whataboutism, all those hateful, irrational and mostly simply false accusations of the MAGA people out of their own conviction - people who are not able to see through that at all. So it’s more of a compliment that your account is perceived as a fake account set up to achieve political power interests. Because if it isn’t, which I still very much doubt, you can only be one of those useful idiots who are so small-minded that they allow themselfs to be played for cards against their own interests.

    too_high_for_this ,

    In case that other reply has too many big words:

    News flash: there are!

    Because anyone who sees the left in a monolithic way is either seeding propaganda or just mindlessly repeating it.

    “We must trow away this box of potentially life saving medication just in case its actually poison and someone may get additionally ill from this specific batch, directly risking your life to potentially delay the overdose of an unnamed drugaddict, that is still going to score elsewhere anyway”

    Even the stupidest people i know in my life have the cognitive awareness to smell the stink of that logic.
