And unfortunately it feeds into the right wingers arguments here...
"SEE! They get it! Not even those socialist asshole countries allow just anyone to move in so why can't we freely murder Mexicans that jump the border!?"
Oh, you try moving from your ravaged country to our haven of stability? No, you don't. Or only if you let yourself be exploited as an underpaid protoslave.
Your comment made me think: Its funny that politicians who promise more strict borders and curtail immigration from Asia also support bombing the heck out of the Middle East.
Like, you gotta stop at some point and think.. "maybe we should stop being assholes and not plunder natural resources and call people extremist for opposing us"
The notion that we can simply go test new ideas in a new country seems to be largely promoted by neoliberals, because it implies that liberalism is popular.
I sincerely wish we could have more tests like the Free State Project - now they just want to impose it on everyone.
Saying "leave if you don't like your country's imperialism" is no different from saying "anyone who are not as racist as me should go kill themselves".
No you don't get it, yanks are from the shining light of the world! The US is a perfect place that every other country looks up to, and even their problems are kind of cool!!!!
