You are grade A delusional if you think you are better off in Mexico.
Shit is getting more difficult financially,100% agree. It’s still an absurdly rich nation. Unemployment is still crazy low. Jesus Christ, who believes this shit?
It’s Lemmy. It’s popular to think the us is some dystopian nightmare. I’m not saying “love it or leave it” or anything even remotely like that, but the level of cluelessness here about how privileged most people living in the us are is mind boggling.
People in the US should not wait until conditions deteriorate to levels seen elsewhere before voicing concerns. I wouldn’t call what they have privileges, as people had to fight for them in the past. The privileges you’re talking about are not something that fell from the sky. Moreover, there’s no guarantee these privileges will remain without continual effort to preserve them.
Can you not see the huge world between “voicing concerns” and claiming we are in a dystopian nightmare? Do you really not realize how privileged Americans are to live in a place - with shit like easy access to clear water, a stable peaceful society, many rights, and our social systems even understanding it lags our peers?
Yes of course you can be voice concerns. That should have been clear when I said I’m not “love it or leave it.”
But, dear god, stop defending the stupid " were in a dystopian nightmare!" Because that’s just straight up cluelessness.
And you should convince people to do that by presenting blatantly false information? People see this, roll their eyes, and call you crazy outside these echo chambers.This is propaganda veiled as humor. A good candidate for/c/theleftcantmeme if you’d like to draw a parallel content here.
I mean it’s almost certainly going to fall within our lifetime, that same privilege will also come to bite us. The 3rd largest population in the world that has next to zero experience living like the rest of the world. When it falls it’s gonna fall hard.
I’m not sure how you calculated it to be “almost certain” but based on these dopes who have clearly had access to education and are lucky enough to have Internet, you’re right that if they face actual adversity like much of the rest of the world, it won’t be pretty.

ikr, i’d rather stay in reddit where at least my fellow brethren will defend our pride without question like a rabid mob.

There are privileged people living in even in hell holes like North Korea and Russia too, my guy. And everyone knows how US came to be and why it’s insanely “rich and privileged”, so it isn’t the flex you think it is.
It’s like Russian living in Ukraine, off of Ukrainians suffering and calling Russians privileged.
But you do. That’s your education system with a large dose of propaganda for ya. Blame everyone else but yourself for all your problems.

Yeah but not “most” which is an important modifying word that I used. Clearly you’re not arguing in good faith, lying about what I said and then using that lie to make up a position I take and then claim that’s the result of propaganda.
If you want to respond to what I actually said, feel free to make an honest attempt. But if you feel the need to be this dishonest, then it’s clear you know I have a point.
Having done the research of going to the url on side the of the image, turns out the cartoonist does satirical cartoons that have been published in The Guardian and The Village Voice.
Whether the average person recognises this, (average probably varies by location quite a lot) I’m now quite happy to triple down on satirical.

I thought the whole joke in the comic was the weird situation
I thought the point was that immigrants don’t go to America to not work
I think it is just a joke not to be taken seriously.
If there is no kernel of truth in this “joke” then it’s not funny isn’t it?
Not familiar with Matt Bors, I see.
I am not.
🙄👌👍

No, I can’t, because echo chambers in social media where the most extreme people are gathered don’t represent the world.
I’m not following this post. It sounds like you’re agreeing with me now that this echo chambers claim is not representative of the real world.

Some people need to get off internet more often, read less news, if they can’t laugh at a primitive joke because they see too much context.
Political brain rot
Ive not heard it once in the context of a joke.
I guess it’s just locker room talk 🤷♂️

I assumed it was ironic, to highlight how much worse off people in other countries are and thus humanising migrants, economic or otherwise.
I don’t think that’s how the average person sees this.
