Fashy tech billionaires: I'm in control!

Legions of fashy people: Do you feel in control?

This conflict was inevitable. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Everyone always thinks that they can control face-eating leopards with money. You can't. Leopards don't want money. Leopards want faces.

It never made sense for any Indian person in the US to support a movement whose self-stated purpose is to ethnically cleanse the US of Indian people.🙂🙃

I mean, it never made sense for anyone to join an ethnic cleansing movement. But to sign up to ethnically cleanse yourself? That's extra special.

The US far-right has never been shy about what their plans for Indian immigration are, or what they think about Indian people. They speak about it publicly.

If you don't know the term "turd eater," then you don't understand why *legal* immigration was cut in half in Trump's 1st term. Legal immigration! Half!

Every college and university in the US (except the uncountably rich Ivies), was put under severe financial duress due to the anti-Asian immigration policies. Some went bankrupt.

The USCIS (part of the government that processes visas) also almost went bankrupt.

They. Don't. Care.

They don't want Asian people to own stuff. They don't want Asian people to be in the USA.

They wrote papers about how the temporary pain of economic ruin, is worth it for ethnic purity.

4/4

@mekkaokereke While the entire reason the USA is so rich is that it allowed talented people from all over the world to gather.

If the xenophobes get their wish, those people will be elsewhere, and the wealth they generate, too.

This means the racist fools will end up permanently poorer themselves.

There's no magical point at which being all white will make them rich.

Defense Against the Dork Arts

@justafrog @mekkaokereke to be fair, whatever wealth is being generated by immigrants and the native-born hasn't been trickling down, due to other Reaganite policies favored by the right; it's a layered issue. The racists probably don't appreciate the existence of wealthy immigrants, they reflexively think it ought to be them, a stolen birthright of the superior race.
