So um, do they realize "net zero" would mean that they can't deport people anymore? Because that would be net negative

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 34 points 1 day ago

Many people use words not because of their commonly accepted meaning, but because of how it makes them feel. "Net zero" sounds fancy and zero is what they want.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

I would like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and his ilk to leave, in order to make room for more hard-working immigrants. Net-zero.

[–] WiredBrain@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They definitely mean "net zero" as in "get rid of them all" and not "input=output"...

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

But thats net negative, not net zero :p

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

And what about Americans who choose to leave? Replaced 1:1 with immigration?

They have absolutely no idea what they mean with "net zero"

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Sartre quote about anti-semites having no need to respect words.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Also, I’m an American who left, so net zero also means I freed up a spot.

Well fuck that plaque at the statue of liberty, huh?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We all know that the statue's meaning has never been truly followed. Just had better moments than others.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Well that is usually how ideals work

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

I know. It doesn't seem that it was ever truly strove for though. It's also not the most difficult thing to do. Doesn't mean that we can't work to help make it happen.

They already addressed that pesky little thing the first go 'round.

Mr Cuccinelli was pressed later on CNN about his comments, and pushed back on claims he was trying to re-write the poem. He insisted he was answering a question and accused people on the left of "twisting" his comments.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh yes, that's only for Europeans. Actually, at the time they revised the standards further. Only Protestants from Northern and Western Europe. Obviously.The US was pretending to care then, as it pretends to care now.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They can evolve and refine their racism all they want, it's still peak ignorance. I don't get it. I've met so many great people from all over.

[–] fastandspurious@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Serious question: where do you think these assholes are getting their talking points? Stephen Miller would be my guess but it could just as well be Russia I guess.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Stephen Miller, puppeted by Peter Thiel. Idk if Putin really gives a fuck if we have immigrants from third world nations. He would probably support more immigration if only to stir up more anger he can manipulate on the right, honestly.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He would probably support more immigration if only to stir up more anger he can manipulate on the right, honestly.

Probably, but on the other hand cutting immigration is basically economic suicide for a first world country, so it would fit with his goal of weakening the United States. The ensuing recession would also provide ample opportunity to manipulate the right (and the center, which as is customary will "reluctantly" do whatever the right says).

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sure, but that also requires Putin to know, acknowledge and buy into the fact that immigration is in itself an economic boon, and a lack of it is stagnating. I don't know a ton about his personal politics, but it seems like he is as much a right wing ideologue as he is a manipulator of others on the right (takes one to know one?). I'm not sure he would take that viewpoint, so I dont know that he would ever take such an approach intentionally.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

All of these assholes are descendants of immigrants

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That’ll leave only people immigrating from places like Europe, Japan and Australia, presumably because they’re sick of having functional health care, paid vacation, high-speed trains and/or a shortage of assault rifles.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, why the fuck would I want to immigrate to a third world country.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

I bet you they don't want immigrants from Japan either.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But also, we need to force the births of unwanted children to maintain our population.

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy” vibes

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is how you know your relative has drunk the koolaid. They sound like this, a parrot, repeating what someone else told them to say.

I see you've met my entire family.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These morons should ask Japan how well the xenophobia is going for them.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Well they have a second arm to this attack though you got to remember. They're going to make forced birth a thing. That's what their religious attack dogs are up to right now. Ladies I hope you like being breeding mares cuz that's the plan.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 17 points 1 day ago

They said the quiet part out loud, and they said it in three part harmony.

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Build houses and fund education. I feel like I just came up with a miraculous solution to a majority of their complaints.

Alternatively, it was used (most prominently by Maoists) to mean non-aligned countries in the cold war.

But when these dickheads say it, they mean "brown people"

Nazis without the stylish uniforms

[–] don@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Or we could just deport republicans.

[–] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 5 points 1 day ago

There is no longer a third world since the fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. The term is now officially meaningless. I wonder what they mean by "third world." Hmmmmmmmmm.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

mattwalsh the trans obssesed transphobe, he speculated to be into trans porn. and jack posebic is a russian backed troll.

[–] swemg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Do they know that they could easily be define as a "third world" country? ^^

Vile, I guess the thinking is "what's the point in turning people's countries into, effectively, debtors prisons if they can just leave?"
