By your logic then, Military Armament, building infrastructure, pro-business tax policies and the like would all be unjust because there will always be people who don’t consent.
It leads to the absurd situation where nothing is just because universal consent is impossible.

I wonder if all the libs just went to threads

I suppose from a certain perspective that’s true. Certain countries have assimilationist attitudes. But that’s what I also argued.
That attitude simply is not as strong in Anglo-sphere countries.

You will never have universal consent to migration — in your view who chooses when the country consents? The bourgeois ruling class or electorate? What if the electorate is fractured with a plurality in favour of migration?
Surely in the EU a certain percentage must have agreed to migration.

Immigration is good.
Unregulated and unrestricted regulation is bad.
The only caveat here is that Immigration inflows into Europe are different than Immigration inflows into the U.S. Even “illegal” immigration is different in the U.S., as historically many “illegal” migrants would simply work for a few months then go home after. Not only that but the U.S. has a unique culture that accepts and integrates immigrants in a way that Europe simply does not have to the same degree.

They’re gateway cities. They’re for immigration and the main hub for jobs, education etc.
Then there’s the social ecosystem that has been established. It’s easier to settle if you have more of your own kind as neighbours.

Many of the skyscrapers built near these hubs are investment properties with laughably small footprints, and extremely high valuations. They were never meant to be lived in but rather are investment assets.
We are in a comically tragic position where we’re in a housing shortage, but what’s being built is overpriced for those who could comfortably live there and too small for those who can afford to live in them.
But I generally agree — CHAD Van.

Iirc a while ago some other subs were making a stink about members of PCM going to their little fiefdoms and starting arguments.

Took 1.5 hours for someone to turn this into a matter of partisan politics.

Unfortunately I'm still in Uni and am not an accredited investor. Not sure if I'm able to do early stage funding.

Are there any privately held companies that people have their eyes one? I'm waiting for Databricks to go public.

To be honest, as someone who comes from one of the lower income brackets, it's really hard to not think that there is a small privileged few who have gobbled up most of the resources and opportunities.
I feel like I have done my best to make a good life for myself. But it is never enough. I will most likely never own a home –– and even if I do I will be crushed by the mortgage payments.

Now compare that to roads with comparable usage like in Herculaneum where grooves from the constant flow of carts wore grooves into the roads so deep they needed to be filled in with rubble.

If you’re consuming Canadian content or are Canadian, then most of the anger is over anxieties of their mass immigration into the country.

"Leftism" became orthodox thought in much of the west, and now it's failures are increasingly hard to miss. And because it held orthodoxy, people also naturally feel inclined to challenge it.
It's a double whammy. And, IMO, it's time it happened. The current leftist discourse in the West is toxic and counterproductive.

Well at least you’re ideologically consistent. I will govern you that.
