Mate, just get gone. That shit doesn't fly here, and you're not going to change anyone's mind.
Right, so unless you think ICE is literally the SS, you’re not welcome.
That’s the definition of an echo chamber.
Ice is literally the same kind of group as the gestapo yes
“Literally the same”
So they’re literally executing people? Or are they escorting them home because they broke in?
No no, you revealed yourself when you assumed that people who don't agree with the existence of ICE want to "defend foreigners". It's nationalist shite, and it's really old.
Edit: and yes, it's an echo chamber. That's why I'm here: so I don't have to deal with people like you.
“Defend foreigners”
Yes, people who broke into this country illegally, aren’t from the U.S. and shouldn’t be here.
What word would you prefer instead?
And yes, you just want an echo chamber of people agreeing with you about everything. That’s certainly something.
Unless you are a native American, you're from immigrants and you're just trying to pull up the ladder behind you.
Why do you hate foreigners so much?
Not at all, I like to disagree, that's one way of learning new stuff. But your views are so at odds with reality there is very little chance of me learning from you.
“Immigrants”
Yes, so what?
The topic is ILLEGAL immigrants.
Don’t break into my home and expect to be welcomed.
Illegal immigrants? Like the white people who colonized the Americas? Or is colonialism OK (as long as it aligns with your "values")?
“Illegal immigrants”
Correct, folks who break into the United States illegally?
And what SHOULD happen to people who break into other countries?
This
Lemmy absolutely is an echo chamber, no one will deny that. The question is, why are you here?
“Why are you here”
Why are you here? Why are any of us here? Why do you want an echo chamber?
Well, I'm here for the light entertainment and pleasant discourse with like minded people.
Why are you here?
I’m here because I enjoy an exchange of ideas and o believe that’s valuable for society.
Echo chambers are wildly boring and might as well be a circle jerk.
It's pretty obvious why you're engaging with this wildly boring echo chamber. Seems pretty unfulfilling to me but you do you I guess.
And why’s that?
