The counterfeit markets in SE Asia are legit the greatest shopping experiences of my life. I hate shopping but all of those places were awesome. 

I've had some great times in Kowloon let me tell you.

If you’re on the left it’s time to acknowledge that most people are in favor of securing borders, most people don’t want to see open illegal activity on city streets, most people are aggravated by petty criminality and shit like fare jumping, most people just want to adhere to the social contract.  

 

Okay, but literally no one on the left is in favor of open borders that let anyone and everyone in.  That is a Fox News straw man.  Obama deported more people than any other president.  Etc.

And no one is saying that petty crime should be allowed, either.  But there's a type of triage that goes into policing with limited budgets.  Anybody, on either side, want to raise taxes enough so that police departments are properly staffed to deal with all types of crime?  Of course not.

The problem with what the right wing does on these issues is a) the straw man arguments, and b) the blatant hypocrisy of what they claim to care about and what they'll overlook, or worse, misdirect attention away from, often with outright lies.

The GOP is just 100% full of shit all the time.  They don't care about crime any more than they care about the free market or individual liberties.  They say what needs to be said to get the numbers to get the power that lets them continue to get the money.  It's an elaborate grift, a 30-to-40-year long con, and when they've destroyed this country and all of the suckers in it, they'll all buy islands and disappear.  They do not care about any issue, or any person, at all.  Dolla dolla bill, y'all.

This is all true, but 956' point remains that they use this petty crime and disorder to great effect in arousing moral panic among those inclined to panic morally.

Oh, absolutely.  Fox News is very good at what they do.

My response was to the notion that it's time for people on the left to acknowledge that most people want a secure border and less crime.  Yeah, no one on the left ever said otherwise.

Cool now apply the same logic to gun control and explain why the right gets zero pushback for allowing school kids to get slaughtered. 

Because it's artificially fanning the flames of grievance and using something that is mildly objectionable to justify outright fascism

Quit being a little bitch and just own it, you are a predator to teenage girls. With RayDog gone, you’re “poster most likely to be on an Epstein list”

This. When you start from the premise that what Fox News says is real, you’ve already lost.

It’s absolutely implausible to argue that its existence benefited anyone save counterfeit bag manufacturers and unauthorized immigrants

You don’t have a wife or teenage daughters obviously

1. Who the fuck are you?
2. In what world is ICE my heroes?

The handwaving of selling counterfeit goods I could predict, its the defending of drug dealers and the aggressive ignorance that organized crime and cartels supply those counterfeit goods en masse cause they have income streams outside of selling drugs.

I literally have posts on here from February 1st detailing the efforts individual business owners and churches in Chicago were doing in the Lincoln Park, Lakeview and the Uptown neighborhoods of Chicago to keep out ICE and educate people
