  • Having kids is a lot more expensive when you're wealthy/middle class than when you're poor (most of the costs like food, education, etc directly vary with your already existent quality of life), so to poor people it's a lot easier to make the decision to have another kid. Also I don't know about India but for example in my (third world) country daycare isn't a necessity in the same way it is in the West so that's part of the equation too.

  • Japan could see a right wing backlash to the changing demographics at some point as we've seen in Europe.

    They'd need to import a lot more before that happens (it seems 5% of the population being visibly foreign is the cutoff), but otherwise all the pieces are already in place. If America doesn't survive Trump democracy is gonna die isn't it?

  • It makes more sense if you just concentrate on making life more manageable, comfortable and sensible for the population you already have.

    And working age people are necessary to make (and keep) life manageable, comfortable and sensible. This isn't a hypothetical; they're suffering the effects already. We'd need to lean a lot more into automation before society can function as an inverse pyramid.

  • The guns are to prevent violent suppression of that public support.

    That's one part of it, but also people should be defending themselves and their communities from ICE and one way to do that is guns. When an ICE agent is arresting your neighbor the correct option isn't to preach nonviolence, but to pull the damn trigger.

  • Maybe it makes sense legally, but that only means the law is wrong.

    Whyte said the ruling meant that "there is no one that can test the legality of the government's commitments to international conventions in this case."

  • They were trying to say (I think) that thie isn't a new phenomenon. Their government didn't get them to go along with anything, because their genocide predates their government.

  • So first, this law is about immigration lawyers, not all lawyers. Only victimless crimes/"crimes" are being punished here, not lies that actually hurt people. Second, you're focusing on lies (the "communicating misleading information" part) and not the "misrepresenting or withholding information" part. That's a lot more than just lying, and would mean the lawyer would have to give any and all information that's vaguely relevant to the case to the detriment of their client—it in effect forces lawyers to incriminate their clients (again, for what are victimless crimes or not crimes at all). Also the "misrepresenting information" part can be very abusable. Would you trust a Conservative with that power?

  • No it's not.

    The proposed regulations prohibit a legal professional, who represents or advises someone for payment, from misrepresenting or withholding information, advising them to misrepresent or withhold information, or communicating misleading information.

    This is dystopian as fuck and is another unnecessary attempt to crack down on immigrants.

  • And yes, Hamas is playing an asymmetrical game and using the rules of engagement as a shield

    They're not, for the most part. This is Israeli propaganda that really took hold, but there was never any evidence for the human shields stuff.
