  • Right. So using your definitions of protest, riot and insurrection and using your statement that protests, riots and insurrections are mutually exclusive; How would you describe a situation where a crowd is demonstrating their objection to the government with a violent uprising?

    Every use of language is contextual and by forcing yourself into an absolutist understanding you'll lose nuance in your interpretation.

    That said. Idgaf loser keep coping

  • You're being scorned right now? Because some guy said he doesn't trust Americans to form a competent government and I said you're an American? Get real man, this is the exact American exceptionalism everyone is sick of.

  • Sorry I think I understand what you're saying now, I'll explain my thought process.

    So the article is about the deportation of American agricultural workers.

    The right wing is deporting them

    The article mentions the resistance to said deportations from politicians on the basis of economic loss in the farming sector.

    Since the right wing is the one deporting, the left wing is the ones protesting on the grounds of losing cheap labour.

    Hence my comments.

  • Guess I'm coping. I would assume that the food security conscious response would be to pay labourers more and give them protections. From the article it seemed as though that was not an option on the table in American politics though.

    The gremlin inside of me is also wondering how the most obese people on earth could be so close to a food insecurity crisis that perpetuating neoslavery is a necessary evil.

  • What exactly am I projecting? My dislike of liberals, conservatives and more broadly American politics? The excerpt describes the thoughts of politicians in America according to Reuters, my comment responds to that.

  • "Most economists and politicians acknowledge that many of America’s agricultural workers are in the country illegally, but say a sharp reduction in their numbers could have devastating impacts on the food supply chain and farm-belt economies."

    Did you read the article?

  • Seeing American industries collapse in real time because they were built off neo slavery is fucking wild. And the American right is all "thank god they're gone, they're illegals >:) " and the American left is like "noooo our cheap, expendable, unregulated labour force is being crippled and its hurting businesses >:((" it's like I'm having a fever dream
