I've got that on a sign in my work van :)

We can deport them to Racistan.

Aw crap dude.....I don't think that deports them! That just makes them live in a shitty place!

It would be so cool to have an actual functional system for expelling the worst of us from high income countries, but unfortunately that would involve giving an entity the authority to judge others on arbitrary basis and it could negatively impact any chances of reform for criminals.

Aren't you just describing Australia?

George Carlin had a good idea. Put all murderers in one state that borders one with all the racists, which borders one with all the pedos, and so on, then once a year open the borders to each other and let it play out. Not exactly what he says but still... He was on to something.

I'm summarizing this horribly but you get the point I hope. He's much funnier than myself.

George Carlin was a great comedian for his ability to reframe humanity's problems, but imo he did not have a mind for good solutions.

[–] OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

He was a great comedian but his "I don't vote" shtick really fucked this country over. Moderate, reasonable, people stayed home, thinking 'it doesn't matter', and conservative dickheads took over at the polls. 1996

Ok what about giving everyone suction cup shooters, and if your car has too many suction cups on it you get a ticket.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Right so this policy stokes and utilizes malice, discrimination, and tribalism in order to have the net result of providing funding to the police.

If a person has a lot of suction cups and free time or a lot of friends then they can just harass somebody for no reason. It would have next to no impact on the rich who live in gated communities with cars locked up in garages, and private enclosed and/or secured parking at businesses.

Cool thought, bad in practice.

There is, but somehow death sentences are kind of controversial.

Somehow? Perhaps because the state (or anyone, for that matter) shouldn't get to decide who lives or dies.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes for exactly the reasons in my comment.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Russia might take them, but I don't want them to end up in Ukraine.

Article says they were Canadian.

But even still, I love this quote:

"Despite criticism, he asserted: "We are perfectly happy here, we're not planning on leaving here, we're not stuck here, we're not hostages."

Ah yes. What a perfectly sane rational thing to say, for someone who clearly isn't a being subject to surveilence and orders under threat of violence.

I can't even count how many times I'll call my mom, and reassure her that living in Ohio, I'm not a hostage.

Lol of course they don’t learn the language first before moving. Also Arend Feenstra is a very Dutch name. So his parents or grandparents risked it all and moved from the Netherlands to Canada so they could farm with less restrictions (this is the number one reason why Dutch farmers leave for Canada). And then this dipshit of a son sells the farm and moves to Russia because he hates freedom. Hope his kids or grand kids follow the family tradition and flee Russia.

Most Americans in such a situation would wind up defying their ancestors in similar ways. A lot of families in the USA can trace their lineage back to people that fled religious persecution, racial injustice, famine, war, and tyrannical government. Migrating to a dictatorship that is currently drafting/conscripting their populace straight into a shooting war is a monstrous step back from all that.

Nevermind that the Russians have/had nuclear stockpiles aimed at our heads. And the USA has Russia targeted in return. Come to think of it, choosing to be down range of the US is not a good idea in general.

I can't stand all this oppression.

That's why I keep all my money in centralized bank accounts.

WTF they FROZE it? How could liberals do this?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Real question is: how far could a barely functional illiterate person (knowing only English and the barest of Russian) go in the Russian Army? Would they even take them? Follow up question: what if they're obese, diabetic, or have other American-sized health issues?

I believe I know a number of people who would take this trade. In fact, all of MAGA seems interested.

It's this the Lemmy switcheroo?

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But what if the refugees are racists too?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Infinite trade!

Just do what they do: drop them from a helicopter in the middle of the ocean.
