The defendant had previously pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but a competency report from Akron’s Psycho-Diagnostic Clinic said she was capable of understanding the court proceedings.

The Canton Repository reported that the mother-of-three’s psychological report said she was “irritable, aggressive, deceitful, lacks remorse, shows a reckless disregard for the safety of others and fails to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.”

Fucked up

It does seem pretty banana republic-y

It might be more accessible to others without all the homeless though. It’s a transit station, not a homeless shelter

What was it given for?

It’s some zoomie meme

Do you support cracking down hard on farms that use illegal immigration labor?

Well of course? That seems like an obvious step to take. Crack down on existing illegal practises and move to prevent them from happening.

It’s not very realistic in the world we live in to just have everyone come in. It will become unmanageable for everyone very quickly. If you want to have a better avenue for the existing illegal immigrants to become citizens, sure, but you’ll also need some stricter immigration control since that’s a massive callsign for more illegal immigration. And soon you’d have the same issue even worse.

If the solution is to just change the system, I’m all for it. I just see it happening anytime soon. So trying to make things better now while waiting for the system to change, that is much more manageable and likely to happen, so at least do that imo.

But he is just doing it cheaper and in shittier conditions than the rest. That’s the reason why people are hiring illegal immigrants, you don’t have to pay proper wages or have proper working conditions. And a constant source of workers willing to tolerate those conditions is a reason things stay shit and there won’t be room for those willing to work but want a proper wage and proper working conditions and whatnot.

Everyone involved shares the blame but not in equal measure mind you.

I mean better preventing illegal immigration but also easier avenues for legal migration for both newcomers and at least those who’ve been in the US for a while seem the ways to go there. Latter only if there’s a real need for the extra workers, not just because profit goes up if you bring in cheaper labourers, of course. So throw in stronger unions in to the mix also.

They’re taking their sweet ass time to kick off the Scramble for Africa 2 The USA-China boogaloo, since I’ve read this shit since early 2000s (and that’s only as far as I can remember) and even this article is from 2014. But maybe we’ll get the at some point.

I think since this dude has had these ideas for a while (even before the 2014 book (that I think this opinion piece was promoting) I think) he might genuinely believe this stuff.

I mean it could just be that the person who wrote it is the sort of loonie who believes what they wrote and want to share that opinion with others. Very likely it was just to promote their book with the same opinion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Morris_(historian)#War!_What_is_it_Good_For?

You sure put a lot more weight on some random opinion piece than I do

E: Also this was written in 2014… It occurred at the same time as they published (and probably wanted to promote) a book with the same idea.

I’m just saying that they’re of course part of the problem. If you are taking part in a race to the bottom and have come here to work below the usual rate or conditions, especially illegally of course but also as a result of a capitalist bringing you here, you are causing things to be worse for the ones who could’ve otherwise worked that job for a better wage.

I’m sure it’s not malicious on their part and they’re trying to just better their life but that can or course fuck over others. The system sucks and is causing it but we do all have our own individual part in it too.

It especially sucks if they’re not in union and are through that harming the hard work unions have done to better the pay and working conditions. Obviously trade unionists and many leftists are going to be salty over capitalists exploiting migrant labour to fuck over unions.

You’re not blaming the immigrant doing the undercutting of unions if that’s the case (often is where I live) or the system for allowing all of this?

Didn’t some old school commies consider being gay or trans and whatnot as Western degeneracy or some bourgeois shit

Their website is still up btw. Wild shit but a cool 90’s website. Pretty chilling though
