Because people who don't like the idea of thousands of refugees and unrestricted immigration driven by an unwavering sense of guilt and self-hatred are actually evil frothing Nazi's who are just as bad as terrorists. I'm not into comics these days, but from what I've heard the guy who wrote this shit is an unapologetic political activist and apparently most of his work is of similar preachy, cringe-inducing quality.

Considering the current political climate it isn't much of a stretch to include refugees when discussing immigration and movement across borders in general. I won't push it though, /tg/ isn't really the place for that shit, if I was mistaken I'll happily concede that I just threw that in because it also comes up pretty regularly when talking about borders.

Hi. There's this disturbing tendency on the left to dismiss anything that they don't like out of hand. It's been going on since Bush's second term and it's finally reached critical mass.
It's one thing to hate on foreigners unreservedly. That would justify some of the opprobrium that they hurl around casually, as if it's no big deal. Instead, the actual policy debate is a rather dry one relating to the effect on wages, comparative crime rates and the responsibilities of a nation to enforce its own laws.
For example, I think that laws against illegal immigration should be more fully enforced, particularly the fines for hiring those illegals upon employers. The H1B visa program is similarly a joke and deliberately designed to be abused. However, I also recognize what a joke the legal immigration system is and, as such, I think the process deserves a certain amount of expediting to make it easier to move here legally.
I live in one of the most liberal cities in California. If I were to publically voice these opinions, then I would be lumped in with the Red Skull because I don't give all forms of unconditional immigration full-throated endorsement. As you can well understand, this is quite the insult. It's a serious charge and one that's thrown around with little thought to its repercussions, yet they do it lightly and with no thought as to who they might offend. There objections to dissent are so vehement as to be as shocking as they are unbelievable. They have become so fervent as to banish all room for deviation from this strict orthodoxy. In the process, they have done away with the basis of all civil discussion: The assumption that your opponent has honorable goals in mind. Now, disagreement should strip someone of all of the protections of civil debate, leaving them with only a choice between an echo chamber or their daily two minutes hate. And they go on and on, assured of their own goodness and compassion.
>>47569520
Ok the rest of this I can understand but

Don't you dare shit on Miles. He's actually a cool as fuck character that isn't just "non-white Spiderman". Lumping him with the rest of that pandering bullshit is an insult.

>>47571050
Eeh not really a good comparison since leftists are used to the idea that, culturally speaking, they've won, and so they can make extremely rude and hateful blanket statements against moderates and conservatives in private company or in mixed company at will, and most moderates and conservatives just learn to smile, nod, and not speak up or defend themselves. Leftist compromises are generally about "you cave on your values, while we give up nothing."
Most obvious example are issues of gun rights, compromise there is always universally of the "you give up some rights, and we give you nothing."
>>47568404

>>47571123

>>47571078
The reason people are questioning "freedom" instead of blindly trumpeting it is because the people who blindly trumpet it actually mean anything BUT actual freedom.

And when you try to debate them, they'll throw a dozen words ending in "-ist" at you to devalue your argument, and then have you silenced/muted/banned.
>>47571165
Nah. Generally speaking, the stuff people mock people for on twitter is nowhere near the same level as the thing they're trying to make fun of. Black people mocking white dancing isn't equivalent to getting shot, and gay people mocking straight fashion sense isn't equivalent to lynching.
>>47571194
I assume that's the point where your mind shuts down, or you might have noticed that most of those words refer to actual concepts.
I question the "trying to debate" part if you would rather mock and trivialize their responses than acknowledge this.

I take it that a lot of people are highly practiced in dismissing words like "racist" or "sexist" out of hand, just like a lot of other fancy "bullshit" words whose meaning they're unfamiliar with.

People aren't called commies for wanting to raise taxes, they're called commies for the naked Marxism of speaking of economic inequality as an intrinsic negative. Likewise, its certainly fair to call people like Bernie Sanders communists, as he indisputably used to be one and pejorative terms like that don't wear off if you drop the membership (see: David Duke).
>>47571242
>I can interpret the values of people I disagree with however I want and no one will catch me.
Nope. Your strawman was, in fact, caught.
On the other hand, the fact that violent assholes try to use "you can't criticize me because I'm FREE TO DO IT" in lieu of actual justifications is an observable fact. There's no assumption required, only observation of the obvious.
>>47571273

While I'm not all "Hail Marx", the fact the wages at the top have raised drastically by hundreds of percent while the working wage has raised by a pittance is pretty BS.
>>47571281
What's wrong with that? The burden is on you to prove why I shouldn't do a thing. If it does no demonstrable harm to someone else's person or property, why is it any business of yours?

A compromise is something in which both parties leave with something. Just demanding that Americans give up rights in exchange for nothing is not a compromise.
>>47571270
And that's an argument to ban guns....how exactly? More people die in car crashes in a six month period than killed by someone with a gun in an entire year. Should we ban cars too? If you don't want a gun, you don't have to own one. But don't you tell me what I can and cannot own in a country I'm both a citizen of and pay taxes in. Especially if you don't live here.
>>47571304
>What's wrong with that? The burden is on you to prove why I shouldn't do a thing.
In most cases, it's fairly easy to do so, while the assholes' only defense is to shout "FREEDOM!" in an attempt to silence all dissent and justify the harassment of dissenters. Usually this is accompanied by them hypocritically lying that the harm they cause is literally nothing (read: easy to ignore), while acting victimized by the ostensibly (but not actually) comparable actions of their critics.
>>47571298
Product of the information age. Overhead is so much lower that it allows firms to operate WAY more efficiently than they did even thirty years ago. What once would have required an army of secretaries making $30,000 a year now requires an email server. As such, more of that goes to dividends and the relatively fewer human links in the chain necessitate more competent leadership because of the influence they wield in the absence of massive workforces.
Thus, they command higher salaries.
>>47571298
Problem is the allways bigger growing market for workforce.
People at the top ARE worth more to companies, but even managers are replacable.

The biggest irony is when you get people worried about terrorism, who don't seem to realize that the big extremist groups in the middle east desperately want people to stay. Taking in refugees starves them of the people and economic resources they need to do the terrible shit they want to do.
Besides, the reason the refugees' homelands are so fucked up is ultimately because of how america and the big european nations split up their territory after the wars. You're just reaping the fallout of what your own governments did back then.

True, and various measures must be taken to protect the value of labor. But there's no real way to take someone who rails against "economic inequality" seriously. Such a person is obviously either a red or the pawn of someone who is very transparently pretending to not be one (ie. Bernie Sanders, who I don't particularly even dislike).

Can you formulate an argument that doesn't consist of admitting that you don't actually have one and demanding that everyone act like you do? Or pretending that your own actions never happen while equating the fact of their existence to an attack?
>And you seem awfully worked up that some people would consider personal liberty precious in and of itself.
No one involved is worked up over "personal liberty". Unless you consider it an inherent right to be a violent, antagonistic asshole without anyone so much as SPEAKING against you.
That's why your cries of FREEDOM are doubted. Your definition is backwards.

I always see people comparing guns to cars in this scenario. I don't know much about the process, since I don't live in a country where guns are a big thing, but you need a license to get a car, right? I assume you need a license to get a gun, then. How rigorous is the test? Like, to get a license for a car, you need to demonstrate your ability to use it properly, that you know how to not damage people or property with it, that you can tell when something's wrong with it, that you can perform the most basic maintenance and repair, that you know the regulations about its use, and that you're physically fit enough for it to be safe, like you're not blind or anything. And there are separate licenses for sufficiently different machines, like you can't be tested on a regular car and then go drive a motorbike or a huge truck. And if you get caught out breaking the rules or being a danger enough times, you can get your license suspended or taken away.
Yet from what I hear, tests for the license to own/use a gun are not nearly to such a high standard, in a lot of places? It seems like they should be.

The dispute is now whether people who morally object to abortion should be forced to pay for them, which is obviously immoral. Obviously, people who want them should be allowed to have them, but just as obviously, its a contentious enough issue that people shouldn't be forced to pay for it if they don't support it.
>>47571389
Yeah but you don't have a citizenship here, you don't vote here, you don't pay taxes, so what makes you think that it's any of your business? We don't want your opinion and we don't need it. You do you, we'll do us. So kindly fuck off.

>>47571410
And you know what? I'd be ok with that. Having a license to own a gun is a legitimate compromise. But the problem being is people don't want a legitimate compromise, people want to have their cake and eat it too.
>>47571410
Also, cars serve a purpose, i.e. getting things around. Guns exist solely to kill people. Even knives aren't equivalent, since you can at least be cooking with those.
And it's not like people don't collect guns or go sports shooting without the right to carry as many guns as they want anywhere they like at all times. That's just america, and america pays for it.
>>47571421
>Okay, I'm legit curious as to what you want to trade for gun rights now.
Nothing. I was pointing out the left does not want any compromises on gun rights whatsoever (ie both sides get something), they merely want surrender on the topic (ie only one side gets something).
Explaining what a compromise is does not mean I'm eager for one. I happily voted for Obama against McCain precisely because McCain was anti gun rights, and Obama only just recently (within a year or so) got to the point McCain was then.

Bullshit on all levels. This has nothing to do with you and whoever says the opposite is trying to strumentalize your nobler instincts. A few hundred thousands of western europeans from christian nations isn't the same thing as milions of angry muslims.
Also: blaming colonialism for everything is pure concentrated retardedness. Everywhere outside of The West Life is shit, has allways been shit and will forever be shit. The West is what makes lives unshitty. People can join The West regardless of ethnicity origins etc but to do so they have to intégrate. Muslims will never intégrate. They hate The concept of integration.

No. We've bled compromise. We compromised on the 1934 National firearms act, we compromised on the 1968 Gun Control Act, We compromised on the 1986 Closing of the Registry and we compromised on the 1994 Assault weapons ban and then they periodically come back for more.

That's you, not me. You're going on and on about how everyone who questions your actions is a subhuman monster who is out to destroy your precious freedom because they're evil, and that's all the discussion is to you.
>And yes, you did do that when you chose to write off an entire class of people as violent.
I'm not "writing off" anyone as anything. I'm acknowledging the specific behavior they're using "freedom" as a blanket excuse to defend. You, by using that blanket excuse, are using it as a blanket attack to write off an entire class of people as evil incarnate. That's the reason any questioning of your "freedom" is practically an act of war to you.

Never said you're from Venezuela. Just saying you like to ignore the obvious when it goes against your idiotic simplicistic understanding of economy.
No venezuela doesn't suffer on overeliance on oil. It has one of the best territories with the most resources in the planet and everyone would want to invest in it and make it and themselves filthy rich. However the socialist government of the country didn't let them. Now the few companies remaning are GTFO and Venezuela is a failed state. Like Allways when you try to apply socialism.
>>47571570
I'll admit states are problematic in this respect so yes, point to you, you're absolutely right. Mostly I just focus on my state and the federal level, as presumably I can't think of any reason offhand why state governments shouldn't be able to do... whatever is within their rights.
As far as the former republican candidates, say, Trump, Cruz, and Rubio, ironically Rubio is the most hard line on the issue, as the first two just want federal funding of it to stop and only the latter openly intended to go beyond that (requiring an ultrasound first), according to On The Issues.
>>47571631
Yes, because the Assault Weapons Ban is still in effect---oh, wait...
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/5946127/ns/politics/t/congress-lets-assault-weapons-ban-expire/
The problem here isn't that one side is coming to the table with nothing to offer. It's that doing nothing to restrict irresponsible firearm sales and usage is hurting the country.
Frankly, this isn't just a Right v. Left issue. A majority on both sides want some form of gun control:
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/most-americans-agree-with-obama-that-more-gun-buyers-should-get-background-checks/

To this day I hope McCarthy has a special place in hell for turning 'Socialism' into a dirty word. Now communism is pure bunkem but when you take socialism as an economic policy and back it with legislation to protect worker's rights and keep business owners from doing crap like shipping all their jobs off to fucking china then it works decently enough.

Anon States Rights are a remnant from when the USA was 13 colonies that wanted to maintain their independent cultures, economic concerns, and legislative habits.

They especially Government will bluntly say something like "It is a woman's right to have legal access to safe abortion facilities' and then a state will do things like say 'all abortion clinics must have hallways with a width of 8 feet' or come up with other byzantine restrictions effectively designed to drive abortion clinics out of a state. Nevermind the use of states rights to obfuscate graft, election fraud, and basically turn governing a large group of people into a joke.

This here is why federalism is so difficult a system and gets so many different viewpoints. Who do you defer to when interests collide: Fed, State, or Individual?
While Kasich talked a pretty moderate game on abortion, he was very proactive at limiting access compared to the other candidates. Of course, when people started talking about him, he was the last governor in the race, so...that's probably why.

Golly Gee it's almost like being a communist was considered a viable form of government before soviet abuses of power and general economic inefficiency made it clear that communism doesn't work!
>McCarthy was right
McCarthy was either a paranoid fool with delusions of Granduer or like Nixon coldly cynical on top of being paranoid. His entire campaign was fear mongering for the sake of his own personal gain. It was not his place to accuse people or collect spies, that was the place of the CIA, FBI, and other spy bashing organizations. He bluntly ruined people's lives and did no public good at all.

No. He accused people of being communist spies and those same people were communist spies.

So no, you're wrong and knowingly so.
>>47571784
>And you've just done everything within your power to prove me right, even reflexively attacking the idea that people should be able to live their lives unmolested.
Your demonization is absolutely insane. Because I'm mentally capable of questioning you even when you call your actions "FREEDOM" I'm automatically evil incarnate who wants to destroy everything pure and innocent. That's what you like to assume, but when people are "attacking your freedom" they're really talking about whatever is hiding behind the word, not attacking the entire concept of freedom itself.
>>47571690
I was considering arguing with you but instead I'll just try to get your perspective: how do you define socialism and how do socialists go from "workers owning the means of production" (sounds like a pretty specific ideology) to, well, the government using its resources to help the public in general?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but sometimes I get the impression that socialists lay claim to all forms of the government helping the poor, to say nothing of extreme claims like that the military and roads are socialist, etc. To an ancrap maybe.
>>47571756
That anon's argument is a bit of a reductive fallacy, but there's a tiny point in it that matters. After the Founding Fathers committed high treason against the the first post-revolutionary war government based on the Articles of Confederation, they wrote the current U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights limiting the Federal government's actions. After the Civil War and the passage of the 13th-15th Amendments, it applied the Bill of Rights to the states. It fundamentally changed the power dynamic of the federal system. America hasn't quite agreed what the new power dynamic is just yet.
Sorry guys, we're slow.

Oh, sure, you just politely and civilly said that questioning anything you choose to label "freedom" automatically makes someone the very embodiment of evil.
In reality, when people question your "freedom", they're not attacking all that is good and pure, they're talking about the specific issue they're actually talking about.

Here's what it boils down to. "A government by the people, of the people, for the people." I don't consider the enormously wealthy to have any place in that qualifier. Ergo the concerns of the middle class and the impoverished should take precedence over the concerns of the wealthy.
But it's the opposite in the nation right now. because of the way funding senators and congressmen works they pay more attention to obscure tax loopholes that concern some guy whose greatest exertion of the last year was determining whether or not to risk hiring illegals and lay off 10 people or lay off 30 people and downsize his business significantly.
It is the governments role to care for the people of the nation and to educate, heal, and employ it's citizenry. If it can provide a healthy private market to do that in great. But the Great Recession ended with a whole bunch of banks getting bought out because they were too big to fail. The execs responsible for that fiasco weren't even jailed.
Capitalism doesn't work, not in a democracy. It needs to be replaced with something. Our current system encourages abuses of legislative loopholes, bad business behavior, and favors the wealthy over the common man.
And that's just plain unamerican.

The state I live in is so corrupt we once had a gubernatorial election between a Klansman and a convicted Confidence Man. When the local culture and economy basically becomes a means to keep a wealthy elite in power, allows a city to suffer an extreme natural disaster because vital public works were ignored in favor of pocketing the money that would've been used for it's maintenance for graft, and is more interested in using petty criminals for slave labor than actually rehabilitating them you don't have a local culture worth respecting you have a lot of problems that need to be addressed.
after a certain point you need to take a close fucking look at the way politics, economics, policing habits, and so on in a state and wonder whether or not respecting the 'unique culture.' Of an area is worthwhile.
I mean hey you want to call arresting a man for being homeless and unemployed, telling him he needs to pay 100 dollars to process his arrest papers, and then keeping him imprisoned for 6 months because he can't afford to pay to have his paperwork processed a sane way to run things go ahead.

>>47571984
what exactly do you use guns for anyway? A shotgun is a decent home defence weapon but a rifle's bullet is more likely to travel through your wall and kill your neighbor. Fully automatic weapons have no business outside a military engagement. A pistol is small, easy to conceal, and can usuall hold 6ish shots; a perfect criminal's weapon.
Only gun an honest american citizen needs is a double barrel shotgun for hunting. (assuming he isn't a farmer who has to deal with wild boars or other crazy, or an alaskan who lives in the far wilderness but those are fringe cases)
what exactly do you do with your weapons? take them to a range and shoot? That's a spurious use of time and money, your choice but not socially valuable.

Likewise, I'm not particularly convinced that "removing capitalism" is something that can be done without massive destruction, loss of life, and demotion of America to being Venezuela. They did it with just price controls.

Democracy attempts to empower the citizen and give him a choice in his government. That's a populist notion, though it gets complex when you consider stuff like ancient greek city states with their slave owning senators and smaller citizen count.
for generations a wealthy elite has held out the promise of the american dream "you too can be wealthy if you just work hard enough!" and by the same token that wealthy elite works harder and harder to hoard as much wealth as possible.
The end goal of a capitalist economy is a wealthy uppercrust who have most of the wealth doing whatever they please without concern for the lives of the common citizen.
It's time people just admitted that the american dream doesn't work as promised and that certain elements of the social contract be prioritized over allowing a wealthy elite to do whatever they want.
If Shelter, Health Care, and Employment for every american citizen is an unamerican sentiment maybe it's time the definition of what is an is not american changed.

In all seriousness, is there a way to rationalize Hydra as "the good guys" that does not include the current arc about Trump Skull and Alpha Captain?

First of all, it's not called the bill of needs. It's called the bill of rights. The onus is not upon us to prove that we need this thing but upon you to prove that we should not have it. On that front?

Also, you have NO idea what you're talking about. Shotguns loaded with 00 buckshot fire the equivalent of nine rounds of 9mm ammunition with each pull of the trigger.
Those are WAY more likely to overpenetrate through multiple walls than a 5.56 mm round because they are WAY lighter but with more energy, thus making them more likey to break up when they hit wood or other construction materials. SWAT teams all over the country are moving away from SMG's that shoot pistol rounds to sub-compact rifles for just this reason.
As for hunting? A double barreled shotgun has very little range so in open country like the prairies, it's next to useless.
As for why should society suffer?

It's not. It's getting better despite record gun sales.
So you really have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah cause that's working so well. Seeing plenty of armed resistance from disenfranchised citizens.

>Protecting my family against criminals and of course something like if the USA ever was moving too far in the direction of the EU.
you just admitted you're pretty much never going to use the guns to do anything useful and you keep them to make yourself feel better.
also good luck engaging in armed resistance. cops these days look more like soldiers, last I checked most squadcars had assault rifles on hand, I know more than a few cops who keep shotguns. things keep up at this rate they'll start carrying grenades.

I'll certainly agree that shelter, health care, and employment for all are laudable ideals, though I am skeptical that any centralized bureaucracy that covers 313 million people can implement that in a fair and even handed way.

Actually, I'm using your words in this thread to prove my point.
I do have to give you props for not backpedalling, though.

let me lay out a very basic concept for you mr. crimestats.
>I want to reduce gun violence
>ergo I decrease the amount of guns on hand.
>this will likely lead to an increase in the amount of say, knife violence but crazy assholes will always find a way
If you're hunting on open prairie use a bow. Or a musket.

>you just admitted you're pretty much never going to use the guns to do anything useful and you keep them to make yourself feel better.
Look up what a "deterrent" is.
>also good luck engaging in armed resistance. cops these days look more like soldiers
Cops are OVERWHELMINGLY pro 2A, dipshit. Same with the military. Your fantasies of a tyrannical takeover of America are literally a case of "you and what army?"

If you're bluepilled enough to think nazis are "evil", there isn't. They've always been correct from an objective point of view.
