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.

the laws have never applied to the ruling class.

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wait. I know Biden was basically continuing everything trump did but the border wall? Pardon my ignorance but fucking why?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

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 brump

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

It's impossible to be a capitalist and not eventually turn to ethnic scapegoating to explain why everything is so shitty.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well you can't say Biden did nothing now. He did biild the wall

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

It won’t stop anything.

It stops plenty of migratory species, some of which are endangered doomjak

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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"
