Wouldn’t the market just expand to absorb the extra demand?

According to betteridge’s law: No.

Not a justification for that either. “Seizing” ships is another word for piracy.

And they will still end up cleaning your toilet and flipping my burger and deliver my food

I’m not talking about those, but the ones coding your web portals and prescribing your medicine. Tight immigration policy can effectively deter these people, which would be a detriment to European economies because of declining birthrates. See: Japan and South Korea. In 2025 Germany needs Syrian doctors more than Syrian doctors need Germany, that’s my point here.

It’s not even about money, I will just never want to do it and there’s not enough people in any of these jobs and many more even though we’re in an economic downturn period.

I totally agree on the moral front, but it is about the money. The reason there aren’t enough people in these jobs is that they don’t pay a living wage, not that they’re inherently icky.

As if people can be motivated to come to Europe on a whim and only haven’t come because we only accepted from a dangerous entrance by sketchy boat.

I mean, yes exactly. Why would you think otherwise?

Even of it works, it’s an expression of values that will corrupt the EU forever.

Uh… I’m sorry to tell you but that ship has already sailed. The EU already treats workers as objects.

Not exactly. Immigrants without valuable skills will go illegally; those with valuable skills will just go somewhere else or not bother and that’s not good for the labor-hungry European economy.

If they do that will you protect them from the wrath of the US war machine? Exactly.

Or the middle option: She’s incompetent but this is what the people guiding her want.

Idk American geopolitical rivals are probably laughing their asses off looking at him.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about? The fucking satellite imagery showing half the strip being reduced to rubble isn’t made up.

Over the last 40-50 years, pro-Palestinian news bytes have shown one thing: the Palestine cause is great at marketing, especially to youn people.

Absolutely not. Palestinians and pro-Palestinians are absolutely terrible at marketing. There’s a reason that with few exceptions the only places where Zionism didn’t find purchase were the ones where people were reading about the Nakba in the daily newspaper and it took a livestreamed genocide for anti-Zionism to become something resembling mainstream elsewhere.

it simply shows the complexity of the conflict

Nothing is complex about this.

And why is every democratic presidential nominee like this?

Money.

Hurwitz also claimed that Holocaust education was “confusing” young people into sympathizing with “weak, skinny Palestinians” instead of “powerful Israelis.”

What. The. Fuck.

Maybe they’d consider it if you stopped fucking ruining their country.

Trump got increased support from literally every minority group in 2024, but I doubt Ilhan Omar supports him.

It sounds nice, but I think this is a wash.

We don’t summarily execute people at the president’s say.

Yeah… no.

Because why not? Seriously that’s it.

Not disagreeing, but “at this point” implies they were ever anything else.

I’m no fan of the Muslim Brotherhood, but yeah “terrorist organization” is nuts. If this word ever had meaning (it didn’t), it sure as hell doesn’t now.

moment.
