Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I was just searching though subs to see their opinions in immigration... holy shit, this is major sub that often has posts going to the front page. This is yet another reminder why reddit sucks.

Anti immigration politics cannot be understood without racism.

Ideals like immigration is going to change the national character is just another way to say some people are better than others.

Opposition to immigration is incoherent unless racism is true.

I wouldn't say that's a blanket true statement.

There is plenty of opposition to immigration that is racist, but there are also legitimate issues of immigration growing a population faster than infrastructure and housing supply can keep up, or wealthy immigrants displacing more working class neighborhoods to take advantage of power cost of living.

I don't think blanket enabling of all immigration everywhere is a policy that would be a clear positive for the world.

We live in a system where the planet is divided into geographic regions of violent control in order to maintain the extreme privilege of a very few people. It seems pretty clear humanity and the planet would be much better off without this system that enslaves and destroys them for the profits of a very few.

I agree that in this context the immediate cessation of borders would lead to war, chaos, death, etc. But that's primary because it's an evil, garbage system to begin with. It's going to take much more than fear-mongering about open borders to improve anything.

You should put quotes around the relevant saying, otherwise it kinda looks like you're saying the bad part.

Marx was against immigration, because it enables the capitalist class to exploit the working class at lower and lower wages.

Not very internationalist of him.
