Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

We aren't friends, don't pretend to be taking the high road when you're just being xenophobic with nothing to back it up. If you don't have the time, why are you responding to so many comments?

I travel the world and see what it’s actually like and the trashed communities from these nations. It’s not xenophobia, it’s wanting to ensure we don’t become 3rd world.

[–] TheLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's absurdly vague. What countries and communities have been trashed by immigrants, specifically? And define "3rd world", because i have a sneaking suspicion that you're just using it as an euphemism for "any place that isn't predominantly rich and white".

Never been to India eh? Many of the cities there are garbage dumps and people throw trash out their windows and stink up their communities. Look up what they do in the Ganges river. Dead bodies, piss, shit, garbage, BATHE in it.. etc. That's just a couple of examples. Can't go? Plenty of videos on YouTube.

[–] TheLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That is completely irrelevant to the two questions i asked you.

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If they can trash home, they can trash it here.

[–] TheLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lmao

If they can trash home, they can trash it here.

Definitely not xenophobic

More of a realist. If you lack the deductive reasoning to even consider the possibility, you might want to reassess your analytical skills. Do you think large groups of illegal migrants, who create bad living conditions in their home cities, will improve things when they come here?

Take a look at the place below. Now, consider if large groups join American communities. Do you think they will adopt the habits of their new country or continue with their usual practices? You'll have small pockets of the country begin to look like this. Give it 30 years max if this trend continues.

You're out of your fucking mind, homie. Good luck with all of that 😂😂😂

It’s crazy how people don’t see the obvious. Good luck with your delusion. I hope your city gets the best of it.
