Problem is, if cities die the cancer spreads.
Spreads thin and then gets surrounded by white cells.
Which then get corrupted and spread further.
You wrongly assume all cancer cells are equally strong.
Then we burn everything. With Radiation & Laser fire.
Sounds about right.
Wall 'em off.
I suspect that as the economy gets more and more turbulent, a lot of the economic migrants will return to their countries of origin.
Yea right. The vast majority that come here are those who aren't even wanted in their own countries. They cannot go back.
The few that will go back are the ones who have prospects at home, i.e. those who have been productive members of society.
Plus, leftist governments are going to wring every last cent out of their citizens to keep the free gibs for the freeloaders going.
A significant percentage of migrants are literal hardened criminals. Their countries encourage them to come here so that their governments don’t have to pay for their incarceration.
As if the local hardened criminals aren't being released into the streets.
I don't think it's a significant amount at all.
Vast majority come here for money.
I feel like they'd be the last ones allowed to fail. They'd get gibs and then a bailout
It only stops when there's literally no more of other people's money to spend
Spreading thin and away from their inhospitable shit holes, policies are less effective at keeping them on life-support. Pushing them out of cities is a good thing.
Don't underestimate the sheer number of leftists fleeing the cities. Many blue states are only blue in the big cities and that's enough to carry the whole state. There are enough to create footholds in rural areas and start spreading the same cancer there until they take over.
Leftist policy survives off "gibs me free stuff", a concept that is neither feasible nor encourages outside urban shitholes. The very landscape encourages a greater degree of self-sufficiency which ultimately shifts mindsets away from the "I'm entitled to the fruits of everyone elses labour, and they should forcibly share with me" mentality that leftism is often predicated upon. Environment matters A LOT for the formation of ideologies, including how the environment ultimately forces or doesn't force certain actions. The more independent you need to be, the less likely you are to demand some entity force others to provide for you.
Ideologies require hospitable environments. There's a reason the rural is more right-wing and the urban is left-wing. Because those environments literally encourage the mentalities that are the cornerstone of the ideologies.
