Katie Miller - "DHS sent me to the border to try to make me more compassionate — but it didn't work"
- Thread starter Halbrand
- Start date
Assimilate doesn't even make sense. US culture is litterally a patchwork of all the cultures that moved here with the original culture shoved into little pockets.
These people would be angry it was them and not a minority in the cage.
I hope people grow out of the naivety that makes them assume that if a cold, heartless person sees the terrible things some people suffer through or have the same suffering happen to them that they will finally understand how the victims feel and start to empathize. They won't. They will simply feel like they are being victimized unfairly and will selfishly ask that they themselves be saved, but still screw the rest. That fundamental empathic connection needed to attribute the suffering they feel as being the same as the plight of others and the camaraderie they should experience never happens. They are incapable of it.
Sociopaths/psychopaths lack that basic capacity for empathy. Asking them to feel that basic spark of compassion is asking for an impossibility.

i absolutely hate anyone that thinks people that immigrate here need to assimilate when we have all the little italies etc all around the country its absolute bullshit. i think some white americans have lost what it means to be american because they chose to just be only white, and not irish-america, italian-american etc, having to change their names to be less ethnic sounding etc assimilation is bullshit and removes a core thing that america should be is diverse, diversity strengthens countries just as diversity strengthens life.
or eating at any of those establishments.
it's kind of funny to me that she can't see this...people told you you would feel bad after seeing it...you don't...do not not see how shitty that makes you?
When people get smug about their inhumanity to others, they see open declaration of their lack compassion as a show of strength.
Assimilation is a favorite fiction of racists.
These people aren't Republicans, they are Nazis. They don't care who you vote for, only what the color of your skin is.
When it comes to racists there are no "good" non whites. I guess smart piece of shit racists can order them in line of most convenient to be used, but this dumb ass piece of shit married dumb ass piece of shit racists Stephen Miller. He's the underside of the bottom of the barrel.
This line in John Lennons song always felt a bit odd, maybe he was running out of ideas?
Which is something I never understood growing up in Florida.
So what you're saying is "I feel bad for those refugee kids but fuck them because their parents forced them to flee their country and seek help" got it.
being ok with taking kids away from their parents in families that are seeking asylum doesn't make someone a hardliner
it just makes them a shitty excuse for a human being
I'm convinced we're going to find a mass grave out in the desert someday after this election... So many people who've gone missing at the border, so many people in charge of DHS, ICE, etc who are all very anti immigrants (especially Mexican or South American in origin).
These people are psychopaths, and I put another nothing outside the realm of what they'd be willing to do.

My fav part of this dystopian timeline is white supremacy is so normalized you can giggle about being one in an offhand conversation.

You need to consider the reality of it though. A lot of these people are not really asylum seekers, they are looking for economic opportunity. If it was truly about safety and asylum many could stop in Mexico for example.
And secondly, we take kids away from parents all the time if laws are violated. I don't understand why its somehow unacceptable if it's foreigners at the border.
Safety includes being able to financially take care of their family, yes.
Also in what world do we take kids from families except under the most extreme situations. The crime they committed was seeking asylum, which isn't a crime... So why are we separating them.
Not sure why I'm bothering with someone's alt hiding account.
as soon as you come to reality and not bullshit conservative talking points, let me know
deep down you are supporting horrendous shit. maybe time to face yourself about why
I was at UF at the same time she was and while I didn't know her personally, I knew about her thanks to her being a prominent member of student government and an infamous incident in which she stole hundreds of copies of the schools newspaper. She was garbage way before she met Miller.
The Little Havana comment did surprise me though, because even Republicans in FL steer clear of remarks like that toward Cubans.

no minority is a monolith, but nevertheless every group has a history and a reason to vote reliably one way, or to be fragmented in some way. Attitudes within a group can also change over time. The whole "Cubans vote Republican" thing is a really lazy read of the community.
Also for what it's worth, Little Havana's district, of all places, voted a non-Cuban Democrat in the last election.
