The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Every commendable I've got gets completely overshadowed and killed by accompanying horrific and harmful policies.

For instance, stopping the influx of people across the border, gets overshadowed by:

1. Lying that we're being invaded by criminals, rapists, and gang members to justify an emergency condition that requires armed invasion.
2. Moving the military onto the border, using them as police in areas.
3. Deporting good honest people because they are easier to find than the actual criminals, rapists, and gang members.
4. Deporting good people who've been here for fifty years due to a bureaucratic blemish or less. If they're relatively clean and been here for
fifty years just make them a citizen and move on.
5. Creating a Gulag and deporting people without meaningful due process to third countries or to jails without any crimes.
6. Treating due process like it isn't a fundamental right for everyone, only whites with money can have due process.
7. Weaponizing laws meant to help us deport people who stole identities to get here (former Nazis), and using them to go after political enemies.
8. Being inhumane to people and that seems to be the message.

I hope this illustrates the point.
