What a shithole America is becoming

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

America requires immigrants to function and has for almost 250 years.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, now we don't. Just need a lot of young pregnant women giving us our next generation of labor au naturale

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well they need flock cameras and palantir drones over every neighborhood in the country to enforce their visions.

Freedom of assembly. In private. Is the only shovel to dig out.

Conservative agenda:

Put young males to work until they're old enough to enlist.

Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible.

Don't think they aren't eyeing up little 13 year olds.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Yeah - see the thing about the evil trans pedos that totally exist and are kidnapping children to chop their penises off - they just aren’t following the rules for sex with children. It’s gotta be between an adult man and a young girl he can groom and abuse into being a perfect child-wife-slave forever (ever notice the baby voice fundie women like the Duggers tend to have?)

Economically, socially, spirituality (even if you divorce the 45 that groomed you into getting hitched at 18 - Jesus hated divorce!) dependent. Of course, once he takes an interest in that sophomore in the youth ministry, it’s her fault for not putting out enough.

"Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married."

If they're following GOP Rep Dennis Hastert's plan, it's not just the girls they're attempting to get pregnant

Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

That would be a great point if not for the "rabble rabble DEI! rabble rabble Bootstraps!"

Stupid lib!

The US is regressing more and more. I refuse to call it a first world country at this point.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 32 points 6 days ago (2 children)

"First world" etc are political terms relating to Cold War allegiance.

What you mean is "developed country" and there are good arguments that the US has never fully fitted that label. You'd have people coming from "developing countries" to the US and realize that infrastructure and social security there is way worse than in their home country.

Reason number 11,462,821 why you can never, under any circumstances, trust conservatives with power.

Nothing says "freedom" like 1920s labor laws.

Is this the beginning of child slavery?

[–] balssh@lemm.ee 18 points 6 days ago

No, it’s the child slavery 2.0 electric boogaloo

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago

Seems to also be pushing for deregulation of worker hours, with the child work stuff being a nice bonus if they can get it.

Florida's new State motto is "The Most Cruelty Under the Sun"

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Spoiler alert: the children working will also be illegal migrants

[–] Followupquestion@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

That’s the best part, the 13th Amendment says slavery is fine if they’re convicted of a crime, and if they somehow make all immigration illegal…

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Get rid of those doing the jobs that are vital and pretend that the solution is to make teenagers rightsless workers.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

onion right? right? turning the debate on "free meals to school kids" to "should we feed kids working in the mines". Nice progression M'URICAH

Why are they doing this? What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?

"Wage slaves" is the only answer I've found that fits the available information. Some of them are being misled by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they're asking for.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

They're kicking out the immigrant wave slaves because of racism, so now they need child wage slaves to fill the gap. They just need someone desperate and powerless to exploit.
