>It's not the best deal for us, though, since they're not part of our tax base, nor are they growing families and social networks here for us to benefit from.

It's a fantastic deal for us because they're not immigrating here and therefore driving prices of housing, social services, etc. to the unsustainable levels we're seeing now. Outsourcing over the past decades has been a huge boon for the US. They're generating value for US companies and we're able to take advantage of that. The US needs to grow its own families and social networks organically. Every country should.

>but the one thing it doesn't do is optimize for the interests of America.

Generating wealth for US companies and providing stability to their home countries is a win/win. This is optimal for US interests.

You're getting down voted for this heterodox opinion. Flooding the West with foreigners is orthodoxy to the left. Any other opinion is heresy.

Let me rephrase since my original reply got [flagged].

>So...transphobia

Stating biological facts and reality doesn't mean something that shatters the narrative is "transphobic". Men (male humans) cannot get pregnant.

>Islamophobia

Being against a religion that stones "adulterous" rape victims, executes gays by throwing them off the roof, and beheads those who dare insult their religion isn't a phobia of any kind, it's common sense.

>anti-black racism

Objective sociological facts are not racism.

>In other words, you just want to be able to be every kind of bigot and never suffer consequences for it.

Translation: "These are uncomfortable narrative shattering facts designed to tell the unadulterated truth that are heretical, so I'd rather pretend like they don't have any value, use fascism, ad hominem, and Gestapo-level tactics to quell social opponents and heretics."

>Thanks for highlighting exactly what people actually mean when they initially try to talk about it with vague accusations of “most things classified as hate speech are actually harmless

Glad to be of assistance. Just because you feel objectively true narrative shattering facts are harmful doesn't mean they are. Not everyone is as thin-skinned, weak, and intolerant as you.

>doing so in the exact manner I had said you would

What exact manner, stating uncomfortable narrative shattering facts that overlords don't want anyone to see? I agree! I stated uncomfortable truth, facts, and reality that must be banned by those steeped in wokeism.

>complete with sock puppet accounts along the way.

None of those other posters are me. Hilarious how anyone who disagrees with you must be using sock puppets. It's a delusional take, which isn't surprising coming from someone who thinks men can get pregnant.

Since my original reply got [flagged] let me rephrase:

>So absolutely nothing of any value and just a bunch of made up bullshit designed to target people based on their race, religion, sexuality and gender because you’re an ignorant and insecure dipshit who is too scared to attach their own name to it?

Translation: "So uncomfortable narrative shattering facts designed to tell the unadulterated truth are heretical so I'd rather pretend like they don't have any value, use ad hominem, and Gestapo-level tactics to quell social opponents and heretics."

Just because certain truths and facts are uncomfortable doesn't mean the aforementioned quotes are "made up bullshit" nor "hate speech." They are facts. Uncomfortable, narrative shattering heretical facts, but facts nonetheless.

>I think T-Mobile not allowing you to spam this nonsense to people is something everyone is ok with.

You may be too young to remember, but this is the exact line of reasoning conservatives used in the 90s to pressure companies to not support LGBTQ, atheism, foul language in music, etc.

>Really it’s a very specific kind of moron who will absolutely insist that the real secrets in life are all predicated around people who have a different skin color or religion are the real problem and will then quote evidence to you that doesn’t hold up to even the most gentle scrutiny all while they insist that they are the smartest person in the room.

You legitimately could be talking about SJW/the woke and everything you said applies.

Affirmative Action != DEI

PC != Woke

These are different terms for different concepts, even if there's some overlap.
