Not a lot of posts, here’s some fluff.
What a shit meme. If I were going to freeload off a country for welfare, I sure as shit wouldn’t pick the US. We have some awful social safety nets. SSI, Medicare, SNAP, Section 8 housing, are all shameful compared to most of the rest of the rich world.
Also the vast majority of illegal immigrants don’t have access to any social welfare, so this meme is just blatantly false and racist, too.
Asylum and immigration applications take years, and on the immigration one you have to prove you won’t need welfare and that you’ll be a benefit to this country.
Like 2/3 of the people on welfare are white, rural folks. But it’s the immigrants causing problems.
2/3rds of America are white, I’m not sure what your point is.
Guarantee the Mexican dude who picked the avocado for your toast this morning works harder every day to support his family than you ever have in your life, idiot
Go be racist somewhere else, like on exploding heads or somethin
Migrant isn’t a race.
Also, what exactly are you implying with that Mexican performing manual labor comment? Please, expand on that.
It’s the same shit every time “hurr durr le immigrants are just freeloading!!1” when A. America actually has jack shit for welfare, and B. is always said by some asshole who thinks he “works hard” but has zero idea how many migrants often are filling the 12-14 hour work days in farm country or other low tier physical labor jobs that actually keeps this country ticking. You wanna go pick olives in California 100deg heat for weeks on end? Be my guest. I’ll wait.
Im sure theres some that get into the system, but the vast majority are ekeing out an honest living like the rest of us. We all know this is just camouflage for hating on whatever different color happens to be migrating. Latin americans are just the most common victim so thats what I chose as an example.
You’re not being sneaky and everyone can see right through it. Kindly fuck off with that attitude. America is a place for everyone to seek their fortunes.
Sneaky? Mate, I just posted a shitty meme,nothing sneaky about. Its pretty clear.
Also, fuck off with the “Mexicans are 2nd class citizens who deserve nothing more than to pick olives in 100deg heat” bullshit. Its xenophobic and nationalistic.
Can you point to the part where they said Mexicans deserve nothing more than to pick olives in 100deg hear? That’s a very serious accusation.
Its a very clear dogwhistle
What about what they said was a dog whistle? It looked to me like they were acknowledging the reality that a migrant worker, especially if they’re undocumented, doesn’t have certain skills (or the right certification in a skill), or they don’t speak the language, that worker is going to end up in some really hard labor, low paying, low worker protection jobs. They said migrants work incredibly hard doing work the country collapses without, in counter to your meme implying they come here for the welfare benefits that our country sucks at.
What I did not see was where they said or implied that was what the worker deserved or that it was okay. Only that it’s a reality. Is reality the dog whistle?
You, on the other hand, posted a meme implying that people come here for welfare handouts and then act like they built the country from scratch. “LiKe mY aNcEsToRs” who stole the country from the people who lived here. THAT sounds like a dog whistle. Only without the usual subtly.
I think maybe the pot is calling the kettle black and appropriating terms to make itself look innocent.
Lots of undeveloped land exists in Montana today. According the above meme, I would be in my rights to just set up shop on a bunch of empty undeveloped land and start setting up industry and civilization. If ownership of the Algonquian tribes didn’t apply to early American ancestors, then surely the same rules apply to some one else in Montana that claims to have a deed in an office somewhere else in the state.
You could at the very least learn some fucking history, dude. Your ancestors didn’t move to an undeveloped land. Your ancestors invaded a land that had been carefully cultivated for millennia and forced out the descendants of the people who made that land livable.
Like, whatever, ignorance is why you’re a bigot in the first place. I just am constantly surprised by the utter lack of curiosity among conservatives that leads to dumbshit opinions like this.
What leads a non-conservative to join a group of conservatives? You have the rest of the fediverse to hate on us. Why are you here?
If this meme is an example of conservatism to you, then you genuinely need to learn more about your own nation and consider whether the values you claim to have are worth having.
And I didn’t join anything. This dogshit had the gall to show up in the Hot sorting view.
I know plenty about my own country, thank you. I know we spent over a century fighting off savages who brutally murdered us and abducted and raped our women and children. I know that we never would have attempted to settle “their” land if they had already settled it with civilized infrastructure like buildings, bridges, and improved roads. Their roads were more similar to animal trails than European roadways.
It wasn’t until recently that we stopped calling them savages and started feeling sorry for them. A lot of people want to whitewash history, but the truth is we rescued this land from savages, and historical documents make no bones about it.
What makes the meme conservative is that it combats the stereotypical leftist viewpoint that all immigrants equally valid as the Pilgrims and pioneers. The natives had no law libraries which Pilgrims and pioneers might access to verify the legitimacy of their claims. By contrast, illegal immigrants invade a developed country with plenty of established infrastructure and enforceable laws.
As for stumbling on this in the Hot sorting view, hahahahaha, sorry.

What a dismissive comment. I’m not xenophobic. If you have a book to recommend then recommend it.
So what you’re saying is the migrants are going to genocide us?
What I’m saying is that you’re an embarrassment.
Native Americans were almost wiped out…not saying those who now came illegally and on welfare is cool.
Its another aspect of it. Immigrants are not always a positive.
