The current wave of extreme-right in Germany is using the term as well. Be suspicious of anyone throwing it around.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

A good example of my point is global governments deciding they can’t possibly maintain mail service when many of them were doing day and night post runs when men were on horseback. They want you to believe this is some new intractable problem that they can’t put a letter in the same bag as parcels

It’s not just rampant anti-intellectualism in politics it’s also that the only state functions both sides uniformly get behind are surveillance and imprisonment the other parts of state capacity are viewed as burdens to be resolved not actual requirements of running a country

42% of full time workers lack access to a retirement plan. “What’s more surprising is that we don’t have a clear path for these people to take better advantage of these tax-advantaged and employer-provided plans," says Benjamin Glasner, an EIG economist and co-author of the analysis.

Is it really necessary for writers to hit Q4 every year, saddle up to social media and start with the ritualistic “hear my tale of woe about how good my work is and how broke I am” where is this getting anyone

A lot of the pie discourse boils down to how you feel about crust, if you don't like it what you'd probably like better is french apple cake, a pear cake, or in the case of more exotic fruits a pavlova or eaton mess, if you're a crust person pie is pretty solid but there are better options
