If you don’t think Musk both A) takes credit for creating things he didn’t create and B) attempts to manipulate society and the market for his own prosperity, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. And it really doesn’t take much searching at all to read a litany of articles about similar charlatans. I mean, for fuck’s sake, even ignoring the Musk thing, the downfall of fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried literally just happened.

I agree the first movie clearly deals with the plight of immigrants in the United States. The threat of deportation, which is explicit in the film, is a daily real world concern for many people. But again, more than race, it’s also very clearly about the dynamics between labor and inherited wealth.

At least you acknowledge the agenda of the first film (except illegal aliens should be deported, not welcomed as they currently are; it is the country that is in a plight). Maybe it'll take time for folks to recognize and call out the agenda of this latest even though it is plain as day.

You can have the last word, if you wish. But I’m asking you to really think about what it takes for someone to uproot their life and leave their home to come here. Would we not try to provide for our families if we were in their shoes? Look into the histories of the countries people are emigrating from, and specifically look at how the United States has interfered with their self-governance. I think it’s ignorant and disrespectful to dig our fingers in their proverbial pie and then swat them away when they look for crumbs.

Tough shit. The U.S. is allowed to have a border and a culture, and cannot support this. They are being encouraged to come by not being stopped. They should be immediately turned around and those currently squatting should be removed. If they truly need to leave their country, they can go to another country that fits their culture more; the U.S. should not be the default.

Well, at the end of the day, at least we can both agree that you’re a fucking moron.
