Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

It’s amazing how the generation that had it drilled into their heads that people can, in fact, just go on the Internet and tell lies are falling for social-media moral panics like this.

I’m afraid you don’t have much credibility on this subject given the buzzwords and talking points you’ve used here and elsewhere. I mean No Go Zones, really? That’s been debunked repeatedly.

Would love to know the provenance of that photo though, and whether it’s been tampered with or not. Just saying those geese could be pasted over the guy’s arm.

Here’s a couple other sources for information on that situation, that aren’t sourced from the eternally vigilant and 100% trustworthy angry old people posting memes on Facebook:

The fact that Infowars and its ilk are the only ones talking about immigrants eating pets should say something about the likelihood of that being true.

@Wiimeiser
…no. Th-they don’t

Why would you even entertain the thought of that

Google is free, what’s stopping you from looking it up yourself

Maybe instead ask whether you want to believe clickbait promoted by someone who left a lucrative career as a California lawyer to become an even more lucrative political entertainer, influencer, and professional Trump supporter?

Or maybe ask whether you feel that pearl-clutching Facebook posts are the kind of thing you should automatically assume might actually be true? Because wow - if someone’s sharing it on Facebook then it HAS to be true!

Or, perhaps instead ask why someone would share that fear-mongering clickbait on an EU site devoted to My Little Pony fanart without any attribution or fact checking?

Seems something is indeed going on in the mind of the poster.

Just asking questions, right?

I must be completely off my rockers here, where are my meds? 🤪

But seriously, look at Europe, countries like England, Germany and Sweden and you will see what this kind of mass emigration causes. Peaceful areas turn into crime zones. Knife attacks happen several times a week over here now. Islamic emigration especially takes over parts of towns, establishes its own courts and everything.

Immigration must be carefully regulated and only people that are needed and can provide for themselves should be allowed to come. Don’t listen to the activists that say everything will be fine as we did.

I’m not sure what some guy carrying a goose has to do with anything. Fucking birds attack anyone they see and play chicken with traffic, anyone that’s lived near the things has had the urge to kick their heads off.

Big shocker, large groups of impoverished people put in one place and left alone (or even intentionally ghetoized) leads to crime. European ultra-capitalist / conservative governments wanted to import cheap manual labour but then not pay for education, training, or housing. And now that there’s poverty and crime, the very same conservatives block and refuse any funding or effort to work the problem they created and instead turn to xenophobia and racism for another quick and easy solution.

You’d think with how conservatives keep thinking they’re the smart capitalists, they’d’ve figured out that being stingy with infrastructure, planning, and education doesn’t pay off in the long run…

(that’s a joke, everyone knows these fuckers can’t see beyond the next financial or electoral cycle, PROFITS NOW!)

@Background Pony #7A74
You are infact in need of meds.

@Background Pony #7A74
You tell us to look at England? Last month’s anti-immigrant riots there were caused by a misinformation campaign wrongfully pinning the blame for a mass stabbing on a Muslim asylum seeker.

Meanwhile in the rest of Europe, violent aggressions committed by far-right affiliates number in the tens of thousands.

So yeah, while defective integration models may be a problem, it’s racists rather than immigrants that are the true nuisance, and the only one here who shouldn’t be listened to is you.

@Background Pony #7A74
You goddamn BP’s and awful political takes go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

@CaptainXtra
Bunch of wierdos.

And yet people keep defending anon posting on this site like it’s some sort of holy institution.

@Wiimeiser
No, Haitians don’t eat cats

A lot of this is due to xenophobic and racist fearmongering about Haitian voodoo, a religion that many people associate with human and animal sacrifices when it has none of that

Haitian Voodoo is literally just a branch of Christianity, arguably one of the best ones if one has to rank that religion

@Background Pony #7A74
Haitians don’t worship Islam either so what the fuck are you talking about

I’d eat a cat if offered.

4 years ago was September 2020, the height of the pandemic and lockdowns.

I’m pretty sure we are better off now.

Trump has been talking about Hannibal Lecter a lot and people have been wondering why. There’s been a lot of speculation but we now have confirmation that the reason is the dumbest yet most obvious one that’s been guessed: he’s a goddamn retard and he doesn’t understand the difference between “asylum seeking” immigrants and “mental asylum” patients.

@Zincy
Go to vore jail.

Do Felines even taste good?

@CaptainXtra
Supposedly, like rabbit. Which I’ve only eaten once long long ago and can’t remember. But, uh, allegedly like very lean chicken?

Rabbit is fantastic. I make a rabbit stew every winter.

Seriously, fuck these kinds of laws! They weren’t meant to shut down kids’ lemonade stands. And fuck the Karens who take advantage of these laws!

@Zincy
The only time I’ve heard a non racist discussion of cats being eaten involved them being passed off as big ass rabbits or maybe squirrels after being cleaned,

So, take with a grain of salt, but apparently Jill Stein is liking comments on Instagram that are along the lines of “Vote Stein or Trump”.

Is this actually verifiable or just bias, because I don’t use Instagram.

Y’all know what I make of polls.

Keyword: Poll. Singular.

Media headlines are making hay of it, but this poll’s crosstabs also shows Trump doing unusually well with young and Black voters (18% of the latter, only trailing by single digits with the former).
