Oh, so the dumb fucking wall is still happening? And we can just waive laws now? Since fucking when, and how come the California High Speed Rail Authority doesn't know about it, or does efficiency only apply when we're increasing suffering?
does efficiency only apply when we're increasing suffering?
Yes, correct. These are the rules of hellworld
Getting closer and closer to the Allied Mastercomputer reality everyday.
California high speed rail = inconveniancing white landowners
Boarder wall = getting to destroy indigenous graves and harm people displaced by US foreign policies
And we can just waive laws now? Since fucking when?
I started looking into it and found this:
The controversial work, which included construction on federally designated wilderness, was permitted under the Real ID Act. Created in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the act grants DHS the authority to waive any law, including bedrock statutes meant to safeguard the environment and areas of cultural significance, to build border barriers in the name of national security.
Bulldozing wildlife habitats and native burial grounds to curb the threat of (checks notes) Mexican terrorism
Because the richest people in the US wanted to undermine a left wing government in Afghanistan in the 1980s they funded an army of appalling reactionaries which eventually turned against the US. Because of this, it is now legal to build the border wall regardless of the consequences.
And we can just waive laws now?
the laws have never applied to the ruling class.
Oh, so the dumb fucking wall is still happening?
always has been
And we can just waive laws now?
We cannot; they can. The ruling class has only practical constraints on what it can do, but in truth bears no legal obligation to anything but itself. Individuals in the ruling class may receive punishment for lawbreaking, having violated their obligation to their class, but when the ruling class moves in a unified fashion, there is no such thing as them being bound by their own laws, because they are the ones who write the laws, enforce the laws, and rule on allegations that the law was broken (or, more accurately, they own the people who do those things). In a capitalist society, what has the general support of capitalists and thereby the major parties is always going to be "legal" unless a divide forms in that coalition.
Literally burning a pile of all the money budgeted for this would be better for society.
oh cool wasn't this part of why people were mad at trump's border wall concept? Like migratory bear species won't be able to migrate north anymore
Wait. I know Biden was basically continuing everything trump did but the border wall? Pardon my ignorance but fucking why?
Because the Democrats' issue with what the GOP does at the border isn't the cruelty but the inefficiencies. They could run the immigrant-mulching machine so much quicker and cheaper.
fascist border policy has always been bipartisan in Amerikkka
It's impossible to be a capitalist and not eventually turn to ethnic scapegoating to explain why everything is so shitty.
Well you can't say Biden did nothing now. He did biild the wall

This displays like a very strange political compass meme on my screen.
USia, in a nutshell
What's the orange Biden emoji called again?
Brump
Lmao of course
Haunting
pushing Biden to the left itt
I have been to the wall several times.
A wall is something that you can go over, under, around, and through. It won’t stop anything. Just takes resources to build and destroy.
It won’t stop anything.
It stops plenty of migratory species, some of which are endangered
"Destroy"
I want the floating saw blades and razor sharp concertina wire to be made with American steel!
love me 'arm reduction, love me police state, 'ate the native Americans, no' racis' jus' don't like 'em
Death to America
HES DOING HARM REDUCTION. HES REDUCING HARM, IM TOLD.
get out here and defend your boy, you fucking liberal cowards
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
I like my walls like i like my women: BIG AND ERECT.
That's a long list of Acts that I really fucking like
Who gives a fuck about
that clean water, National history, those migratory birds (X2), that clean air, that wildlife refuge system, those eagles, fish and wildlife (X2), archaeological resources, paleontological resources, that clean water again, the noise we make, the solid waste we dispose of, any liability or compensation for environmental harm, and whatever the fuck an antiquity is
we need to build the damn wall NOW
blue MAGA must be currently receiving the new updated talking points, from "we need to stop trump's racist border wall!" to "its okay for biden to bulldoze protected wildlife conservation areas for the racist border wall"
