Ok so you basically want unregulated immigration and think that any attempts to stop it is nazi-adjacent, or just straight up nazi behaviour.
Nice strawman! Where did you buy it? I usually get mine at Aldi’s, but I’ve recently wondered whether I should switch up.
On a more serious note: Of course, immigration should be controlled. It should not be cut off though.
Way to argue in bad faith. People can be “illegal immigrants” which is what is being discussed.
Absolutely in good faith. There’s a reason why the phrasing “illegal immigrant” was coined: It’s a derogatory term to criminalize people who are usually fleeing their home countries. And often enough, it’s even shortened to “illegals”, making the intended dehumanization even more obvious.
Making a process for asylum seekers to get approval to enter the country before entering the country isn’t “removing rights of asylum seekers for due process” in any way.
Now that’s a bad-faith argument! Again, that process usually centers around “welcome centers” or whatever the euphemism du jour is, in other words: offshored internment camps. I suspect there may be reasons why Italy’s Albanian camp project and the UK’s Rwandan camp project were each struck down by courts multiple times. Notably, cost projection for both of these were rather interesting too. But gotta make someone rich in the process, right?
You mean the MS-13 gang member who has lived in the country illegally for 13 years without any attempt to become a legal citizen, who had twice been ordered to be deported back to his home country, where he now is?
Don’t know the specific case; is that the case with the photoshopped knuckle tattoo though?
In any case, I was referring the sort of average profile of a person that ends up getting deported. Statistically, the chances of the deported being violent criminals is becoming much lower, the higher the number of deportations. And that’s pretty logical: most people are not actually criminal, and if you’re just deporting to juice the stats, you’ll obviously deport the people you can arrest easily. Deportations are a shit tool if your goal is justice or safety, and they are extremely easy to abuse.
I know someone who was nearly deported and who does live in constant fear of deportation. They are not allowed to take a job, are completely dependent on the welfare, they feel absolutely miserable all the time, and they are certainly not a career criminal.
Like I said, your position is that all immigration should be legal.
Lol. “Like I said, your position is”, even to you that wording should be cue.
Cool story
So you didn’t get the point that was being made, or you have no way to refute it?
Your experience as a landlord seemed irrelevant to the topic.
It’s no wonder why you claim that a party who want to control immigration are Nazis and should be banned from becoming too popular.
Shall we recap this discussion between the two of us?
You called people who are in favor of disbanding the Afd party “nazis” and “fascists”.
I named a number of policy positions held by this party and its representatives that are in fact putting them fairly close to historic Nazism.
I asked whether these sorts of positions were positions that could reasonably be called democratic.
You claimed that your comment was being distorted by my listing of their policy. (Also that you were being called a nazi. Actually, where?)
When we were done with that, you picked one of the policy items and tried to disect it.
We’ve been conversing about the finer legal details of pointlessly hurting and, in effect, often killing, people since.
Now you feel you’ve reduced ad absurdo enough and built yourself a few strawmen.
You claim that I am a nazi (capital N?).
I’d still love to know, what you think of the positions that I wrote up above. Just take them at face value. Are those positions of a normal democratic party that should remain allowed?
I am copying what I wrote above again:
the people who want everyone with the wrong kind of mustache to be deported, who want citizenships revoked, who want to “remove the outmoded political party system”, who are already obstructing the judicial system in Thuringia, who want to defund public media because it’s “too woke”, who want to gut universities because they are “too woke”, who want to fuck up the environment because - guess what - also “woke”, and who want to overthrow the constitutional order
Targetting dual citizenship holders first who are deemed criminals. If I had wild guess, criminals means supermarket thieves as much as climate protesters. But who knows what the end result may look like.
Fun side note: The German constitution does not allow the state to revoke citizenships unilaterally. The reason for that is that it was one the things that the historical Nazis used to legal-wash removing parts of the population. You know, just like the German constitution includes the right to asylum, specifically because so many countries refused to take in refugees from Germany in the Nazi era.
So you’re just saying that I lie because of … what? I made an informed guess on who would ultimately likely be affected, the rest of it is part of discussions [de]. And as gonservatives like to copy fascists these days, adding some form of it to the coalition treaty [de] was in fact discussed (but luckily not included in the final treaty).
To change the constitution, you only need a 2/3 majority in parliament and 2/3 in the council of states. But that’s not even the point — the point is that there are political forces who want to do away with provisions in the constitution that were specifically created because of Germany’s past.
So, for one, no it’s obviously not just about renewables. It’s about enabling environmental abuse of whatever sort. You can literally look at Trump in many ways. Afd is, in large part, propped by the same people as he is. Elmo even spoke at their party convention.
And nuclear is not cheap. The only reason why people think that is that usually the cost of building plants as well as the cost of insurance is subsidized somehow, and the cost of final storage for 100k+ years is a complete unknown. It doesn’t even make sense to even think about final storage in economic terms, because who knows what people are capable of in 100k years. But when a nuclear plant is built, and has been humming along for a couple years, people start to think it’s cheap because they fail to see either end of the process. Cheap nuclear is a mirage.
Solar and wind actually are cheap, can be rolled out decentrally, don’t require consumables, but you have to deal with their intermittency.
Also, you have delved again into yet more topics. Which certainly is a fun distraction.
Are you going to just keep removing all of my comments that you disagree with and say “bad faith”? Funny that you removed ones where I asked someone if they just want a dictatorship of their preferred party and they literally said “yes” as “bad faith” lol
Yes, I removed many of your comments from other threads. In case you’re wondering, yes, I did notice you’re not arguing in good faith in this thread either.

I’ve actually bolded the one thing I still would like to see you answer in my above comment. Stop beating around the bush.
Was in the process of editing answers/questions down the bottom of my post.
