@kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social Ahh I see, so your stance is just open borders (well almost open, just some basic checks make sure they arent violent)?

I can relate in the sense that in an ideal world I would like open borders as well. However in practice I have come to the conclusion you cant have both an open-border and a welfare state. You can only pick one.

Otherwise all the poor will always migrate freely to the countries with the best welfare and all the rich will migrate to the countries with the lowest taxes. The system breaks down and doesnt work.

Open borders or welfare, we can only pick one IMO.

@anornymorse @kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social @Liberty4Masses I beleive you meant that as a reply to something not its own post?

@Liberty4Masses based on your other comment on your other thread i just think the meme delivers the message poorly. If i understand your intent the concentration camp really just distracts from the message.

A more fitting meme would be her at some sort os pro-socialist rally wearing such a watch.

@kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social
How else could you effectively deport them without having some sort of a holding cell as an intermediate point? What way of deporting would be effective but not as abusive? Just better conditions in the detention center itself or more than that?

@Liberty4Masses @nerthos

@Liberty4Masses IT was more abut how confusing the meme presented it. It showed her at an ICE center, which has little to do with capitalism. IF the setting was a pro-socialism rally or something then at least the connection would make sense.

Its more about poor delivery than the fact that your attacking AoC at all. The intended message wasnt conveyed by the meme

@kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social
I'm not sure i agree that this is typical of Liberty. I mean a lot of the attacks I tend to agree with on liberals that ive seen from the account.. but dont hold me to that i dont see every post.

Thats why this one shocked me. To me it seemed out of character to make an attack without any sense to it.

@Liberty4Masses

@nerthos
While I do agree that it isnt fair to call them concentration camps, they are detention centers or even jails, I do think the rest is an unfair characterization.

Not everyone, or even most, of thepeople going through an ICE center is an "invader" and after "ethnic extermination". Thats just hyperbole just as bad as calling it as concentration camp. In fact I'd say worse.

@Liberty4Masses @kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social

I always feel bad when i dont follow someone who follows me. Particularly when they seem like a nice person.

Truth is if anyone follows me I always take a minute to read through your feed. If its about stuff I'd find engaging and i think we would have a lot to talk about I follow. Otherwise dont. But If I dont and you interact with me a good deal i often will follow regardless.

Just dont feed a bit on the light side, nothing person, I will always try to respond in comment threads regardless and engage.

@kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social
The ICE detention camps you mean I think?

I mean i have no love for AoC but that seems like a petty attack with no substance. Not sure if having a nice watch invalidates you crying over someones misfortunate.

I guess i would get it if we were talking about her crying over a homeless person. Then the watch is relevant as it can be used to help the person. But in this context it just seems ike an irrelevant stab to me.

@Gargron Out of curiosity did M.social block the gab instances already? (I have no ulterior motive in asking other than curiosity)

@Gargron Oh no, you went outside. You know programmers arent physically equipped for that! You are lucky you made it back alive at all.

Got a pair of socks at , finally conference organizers noticed we don't only wear shirts. Hoping for shorts next.

@mngrif l33t speak kinda defeats the purpose of numbers lol

@Liberty4Masses I'm confused. What is she crying over her in the picture and how does it relate to the watch?

@mngrif Anytime you need a password just ask me. Ill give you one to use and ill make sure its extra secure!

@hamslap@quey.org Yea I agree, its a faint wisp of a truth with little value beyond the obvious initial understanding.
