I always love how immigrants don't work but yet, still somehow are stealing our jobs. It difficult to understand how exactly it is that both are true. 🤔
In my experience, they do work our own typically don’t want to AND they work their butts off doing it. Great folk imo.

Yup, I know the group well, Mennonites were ground zero here in Ontario. Grew up near some, boys out of school at 16, girls often out at puberty. They give me the creeps.

Same in Canada. Domestic idiots, typically religious fundamentalists, are 90+% of the problem. Sadly, they don’t only hurt their own.

Modi is a Hindu nationalist, think American Christian Nationalist but Hindu. Different religion, just as bigoted, violent, and crazy.
The Christo-fascists have long aligned with Putin and India has a history of being a Russian ally, so, all in all, not a surprise.

I quibble a bit with “Nazi” but, like “pedophile”, I get why it’s a relatable and relevant term.
U.S. Fascism under this administration is definitely more closely related to that of Germany (imo) than it is to the Spanish or Italian case but there are significant differences too.

I keep thinking that people who hang with pedos might be pedos. Not that I’m alleging anything as that could get me sued. It’s just a generality that keeps popping up for some reason….
