One benefit of birthright citizenship is its egalitarian simplicity: The only thing most people need to prove that they’re American is a birth certificate. Those lucky enough to be born here receive equality under the law from their very first breath. Trump seeks to replace that system with a caste-based vision of national identity in which every parent must provide documentation to secure their children’s fundamental rights.
Would it be correct to describe this as "apartheid"?

Well, that will fix the jobs data. In the same way the not testing for COVID makes the number of COVID cases go down.
The U.S. government has made it pretty fucking clear that children's lives don't matter.
And I mean like really rubbed our noses in it, like a dog that shit on the carpet.
Note that this is not the same person as "Dave Grossman", the asshole that does the warrior cop training.
The pearl-clutching over some relatively minor vandalism in response to the mass murder of tens of thousands of civilians is really out of touch.
Since people seem so fucking concerned about property damage, maybe we need to start discussing the "vandalism" of all the homes and other buildings in Gaza. Actually, I'm not even sure I would be comfortable doing that ironically as it would feel very disrespectful to the human victims.
Thanks for providing a great reason to leave this community.
It's not an airport. You don't need to announce your departure.
My suggestion since early 2024 has been to birthstrike: no more births in the U.S. and other complicit western nations until the children of Gaza are safe and Israel has been held accountable for their heinous acts.
This is especially relevant because younger people are the ones who are: most angry about this, the most politically disenfranchised, most applicable to a birthstrike due to biology.
People shit on me and my 100% legal, non-violent / non-destructive recommendation. To the point where I've had posts and comments removed and even faced bans. So I've simply stopped recommending it.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Of course this is by design.
Lemmy hasn't been enshittified.
The 2 signs that jump out at me:
Rising rates of "deaths of despair"
Watching birthrates fall into the abyss, all across the world. People seeing the future in store and opting out.
Alternately: hollowing out our educational systems will diminish human capabilities in this realm
