RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATORS
Again, you're confusing due process and asylum laws with "neatness" or "politeness."
To put it another way, we are probably both against rape and okay with putting rapists in jail. But, if police started jailing anyone they thought looked a little rapey, and those jailed had no due process, I would hope we would both be against that. Not because it wasn't neat or polite but because that is a fundamentally dangerous thing for a state to do.
I think a country should be able to control its borders, thus you need a mechanism to remove people, which is deportation.
However, due process is essential (whole asylum laws are required to meet international law + treaty/moral obligation) and without it, it's super dangerous.
This isn't about neatness or politeness, it's about a fundamental and essential check on state power.
I don't. Countries literally should not exist. I oppose deportations however they are being conducted. That's kinda my point: from my perspective, you're practically with the right wingers on this issue, because some people ultimately get deported.
That's fine, oppose deportations etc but you're completely missing the point, which is that it's not about politeness or decorum, there is something fundamentally different about the lack of due process.
To put it very bluntly, did you fail to understand the difference between jailing rapists after due process versus jailing anyone whom any police officer thinks is a rapist? Or is one just an impolite version of the other?
