Quote
At its height, the Mongolian empire stretched from Busan in the east to Budapest in the west, from Lithuania in the north to Vietnam in the south. This meant that an extremely large part of the continent was united under one political authority. As a result, the trade routes used by merchants became safe for travel, resulting in an overall growth and expansion of trade from China in the east to Britain in the west.[8] Thus, the Pax Mongolica greatly influenced many civilizations in Eurasia during the 13th and 14th centuries.

Under the Mongols new technologies and commodities were exchanged across the Old World, particularly Eurasia. Thomas T. Allsen noted many personnel exchanges occurred during the Mongol period.[9] There were many significant developments in economy (especially trade and public finance), military, medicine, agriculture, cuisine, astronomy, printing, geography, and historiography, which were not limited to Eurasia but also included North Africa.

My third point (non-European immigrants in Europe committing violent crime at vastly higher rates than natives) is supported by official government statistics, lmao!
My first point (many studies which are coming to the conclusion you're talking about not distinguishing properly between different types of immigrants) hinges on the concrete study you want to use as a starting point for this debate. Of course you haven't posted a link yet, but blast me for not providing sources.
My second point (the US having a native population which commits violent crime at unusually high levels) isn't controversial at all. It is, in fact, the exact same argument that you and your ilk use constantly when it comes to debates about gun control. ("There are so much less shooting victims in Australia or Sweden!")


Honestly this just proves my point lol.

When it's something left wing you will split hairs as far as you possibly need to and actively reinterpret whatever possible to try to prove it wrong but when it comes to Republicans you will take the most generous interpretation totally at face value.


I know you tried to take this down the immigration path to avoid everything else in that post, but I'm gonna keep bringing it back to the same point. You treat things on "the left" with a massive amount of skepticism to the point you will go out of your way to misread the content and treat things on "the right" with the most generous kid gloves that you end up embarrasing yourself.

I'm a filthy, dirty partisan hack and everyone should take the things I'm posting with a huge grain of salt.
There you have it, happy now?

Side note: I am constantly taking heterodox positions on a ton of issues and definitely not a down-the road, partyline guy when it comes to the actual policies, heck, I'm not even a true conservative. Speaking of which: I can't remember the last time you provided any original thought or weren't fully on board with the 'liberal talking point of the week'. My arguments and reasoning might not always be of the highest quality or consistency (or honesty...), but at least I'm arguing in favor of my own perspective which, on many occasions, stray's from the party line. When it comes to the substance, 99% of your posts could be replaced by a link to Elizabeth Warren's campaign homepage.

Bruh I shit on Democrats all the time, including Elizabeth Warren who went out of her way to siphon votes from Bernie in 2020.

I spent a huge amount of time these past two years actively shitting on Joe for being a weak bitch and getting steam rolled by Manchin.

Disagreements about policial strategy, sure. But is there any policy on which you fundamentally disagree with Warren?
I'm well aware that you're to the left of Biden and have blasted him repeatedly. You're still a very generic, cookie cutter progressive and when it comes to countering Republican arguments, you latch onto the liberal talking point of the week all the time.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, don't get me wrong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the policy positions you are arguing for are very orthodox within your corner of the politcal spectrum and much easier to support than the heterodox positions I am defending on many occasions.

When Democrats do something progressive I generally support it because it's better than what we have now. In addition to that, I call them pussies for not going further and I advocate for a ton of positions that fundamentally clash with Democrats positions.

I'm somewhere around Socialist. That means when Democrats come out with a "progressive" or "liberal" position I'm generally for it, because it is further to the left of whatever we have now. That doesn't mean I don't want to go further. I'll take 10k student loan forgiveness but what I want is eradication of student loans as a concept and federalization of the public and private school systems with insurance of equal access. I don't only want green subsidies for solar and such, I want nationalization of the energy industry as a whole with a mass manufacturing push towards producing excessive amounts of carbon-negative energy (excess nuclear energy followed by a mass effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere using the extra energy). I'll take a stock trading ban from those in congress, but I want a total change to how our senate and house seats are allocated, a fully public system of campaign finance, and a ban on working for any private company after your term.


None of these are within a mile of what any Democrat except maybe Bernie would be willing to fight for. But you take what you can get in life, and work to move the window further as you go.



On the social side I don't want bans on transgender people in sports. I want a total abolition of gender as a whole and our language related to those concepts to only reflect the biological nature. I.e. Dresses are for everyone, and males are defined as "having a penis and not any female associated parts".
