"There are two things that I hate about the immigrants", said the random dingdong in one breath, "first of all, they're not doing any work, and second of all, they take all of our jobs."

...I heard this joke in the 1980s. The dingdongs haven't gotten any less self-contradictory.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

That was when your dingdongs were local. They got their own news channel in 94 and it's been a shit luge to helltown ever since.

And when they finally succeed in kicking the foreigners out, they wonder why their cheap labor isn't showing up and their business is now in trouble, but would vote for it again!

"Freeloading job stealers" remember, the talking points are about feelings, never facts

[-] DakRalter@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Oh oh I know this one! Musk was an illegal immigrant who lives off government handouts while simultaneously stealing trump's job!

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

Just like their image of Biden - both a doddering old dementia case, and an evil socialist mastermind.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

To be fair, that is exactly how I think of trump, minus the mastermind bit. Like he would be comically evil if it weren't for the real life consequences others are paying. While I also believe he is barely functioning upstairs, and just signing off on whatever the heritage foundations or the family tells him to

From the "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd...

To fascists, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance are features, not bugs.

"Never believe that ~~anti-Semites~~ fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The ~~anti-Semites~~ have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Glad I’m starting to see Sartre here. Marxist humanism as a topic, along with all of Sartre, is a must read.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 34 points 1 week ago

funny thing they arnt really raiding the large corporate farms, and food plants. because you know gop will go up in arms if they did this in a super red area.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

(Blue states vs red states) ICE is targeting blue states, crops are made in red states.

Trump wants chaos, he wants special rule over military, he wants to imprison all lefty thinkers, he wants to escalate the situation,

he wants civil war.

"Because they're stealing our jobs! Duh!"

[-] klu9@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

Ahem, I believe it's "jerbs".

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

"So you're willing to pick crops for less than minimum wage in the hot summer sun?"

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

The real question is why hasnt ice raided elon musk? Hes literally everything they hate about immigrants and trump loved him at one point?

[-] potoo22@programming.dev 14 points 1 week ago

They're at in impasse. He's an immigrant, but he's also rich. They're drawing the line at rich AND donates to Democrats. Then he's out.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Except he got rich illegally and technically stole billions from hard working Americans again why hasn't ice done shit?

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Ever heard the phrase "having fuck-you money"?

This is having "fuck-errybody" money.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

They want more of his money and social media juice.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

trump made an exception for th h1b visa holders.

"Because they're brown Beaver ... that's why ... which reminds me ... beavers are brown .. I'd better tell mom and dad."

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ward, don't you think you're being a bit hard on the Beaver?

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 12 points 1 week ago

Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

Gosh, Beav, if you're the one talkin, why am I the one with my mouth open?

"Mom told me to never speak with my mouth open."

[-] Bonus@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

This is the way.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Well you see, those free loadera re also stealing our jobs /s

[-] jawa22 2 points 1 week ago

It is worded that way because MAGA sincerely believes people are getting government benefits illegally en masse.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

maga projection, because most of them are on welfare, plus the agricultural/farm are on welfare too.
