DarkTransient 07/15/18 4:18:23 AM #3:	The extremes of both sides would like a 1984-like society. They just have different ideas on the finer details of it. Trump is nowhere near that extreme. It's hard to tell if Clinton would have gone that far, I get the impression she would have liked to, but probably would not have actually managed to. You pretty much have to look to either what fringe movements want, or outside the US, to find actual examples that come anywhere near 1984. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:905104126] in 1984 to be...

And his super simple language I suppose, but that's a stretch. The mounting persecution of latinx people is scary but at least to me it doesn't look Orwellian. Prosecuting illegal immigrants =/= persecuting latinos, and it doesn't matter how often you insist its the same thing.

If you want to hear 1984-esque attitudes, listen to Lindsay Shepherd being bullied and interrogated by her professors in Canada. Lindsay is left leaning (or at least would be by U.S. standards).

scar the 1 07/16/18 3:31:17 AM #39:	DarkTransient posted... "Latinx" means "Latina or Latino". From what I've heard, if you use that term around actual Latino / Latina people (except those who are US-born, never been to a Latino country in their life, don't even speak Spanish, and are way into the SJW movement), you'll get mocked to hell and back. Obviously. In Spanish, Portuguese, etc, the male form takes precedence when the group includes both, so then it would be Latino. But I'm not typing this in Spanish. But I'll use Latino henceforth if you're bothered by it. ThunderMuffin posted... i actually dont get this. why would someone committing an illegal act not be punished. its illegal. idgi. Do you actually not get it? Let's see. In America (as well as any other country) people commit more crimes and misdemeanors than there are resources to deal with. This is true everywhere. For example, there aren't enough cops to prevent people from smoking weed, or jaywalking, or whatever else might be illegal but deemed not so bad. That's where the executive branch comes in. At their discretion, they direct law enforcment to go after certain crimes and misdemeanors through policy. Trump's zero-tolerance policy is definitely aimed at Latino people. It's costly, it's resulted in separations of children and parents, and it's inefficient. There were programs in place before this policy that worked quite well. People did show up to their hearings, and they did abide by the court decisions. Not to mention the fact that crime rates are lower among "illegal immigrants" than among Americans. There's another argument as well. Many of these families are fleeing really rough, gang-dominated environments. Gangs that the US helped make possible. You often hear people talk about how horrible MS-13 is, and that's what they're running from. And the US shares the blame for the existence of such gangs. Is it then very humane to arrest people and separate them from their kids when they're running to the US, just because they committed a misdemeanor? It's not a big crime. So to answer your question, why shouldn't an illegal act be punished? There can be several reasons for it. It's too costly to seek out and punish offenders, it's too inefficient, it's not humane, etc. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.
