Scary part of what? Wtf are you talking about?
People said the same thing about the Irish during the potato famine. “Destroying” the USAs culture by immigrating into it is like jumping into a pool to get rid of the water. Sure you might splash a little, but mostly you just get it all over you. And then your kids refuse to get out when you tell them.
Yeah I get it. People said the same thing in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan before being taken over. Maybe history won't repeat itself.....nahPeople said the same thing about the Irish during the potato famine. “Destroying” the USAs culture by immigrating into it is like jumping into a pool to get rid of the water.

Maybe if we all think real hard we can spot the differences between fundamentalist Islam taking over a middle eastern country and taking over the United States.
I've spent some time in Southeast Asia and they have real issues too.

From I guy whose intellect I respect more than anyone here.
Can you explain more who took over these countries and what 'history' you are referring to?
Has nothing to do with the latter part of your post. I encourage you to do a deep dive into Dearborn MI. Be open minded and curious and really research what’s happening there
Deep dive into Dearborn, MI? Should I be looking for something in particular? I visited once long ago, had great Yemeni food there.
Blah blah blah
cant open

Afghan boxer, 26, arrested in connection with death of Scottish woman in Greece
Sharif Ahmadzai, from Afghanistan, is expected to appear in court in Athens on Wednesday.
His comment on the post:
The Red Cross had made a sympathetic video about the challenges this Afghani immigrant had in seeking refuge in Greece
They had to take it down after he murdered his Scottish girlfriend and stuffed her into a suitcase
Modern immigration is not the same as historic immigration. The mass of middle eastern immigrants is not the same as the Guatemalan nannies, Filipino nurses, Mexican farmers, and Indian tech workers of the past
Blanket blind immigration is causing the destruction of western society
as stated previously, rich people do not have to contribute at all to the system. the loopholes generate passive wealth that does not contribute anything to the overall financial health of the system that the rest of us do not have access to.
Here’s how many describe sharia law. This would be antithetical to western culture
interesting.

I know the guy in that video personally and can assure you it’s not propaganda. Great guy. listen to the entire video before you jump to conclusions and dismiss it whole cloth. I hope there’s some truth to your posts
Edit: deleted my post.
Your post essentially is making my case.i dont get their benefits. you dont get their benefits.
you think you do.
Banks Are Giving the Ultra-Rich Cheap Loans to Fund Their Lifestyle
In the realm of personal finance, debt is largely viewed as a necessary evil, one that should be kept to a minimum. But with interest rates at record lows and many assets appreciating in value, it’s one of the most important pieces of the billionaire toolkit -- and one of the hottest parts of...

The great painter Diego Rivera would not appreciate what our richest are using for collateral.

i hate to mention that the reason most of the rich do not take salaries - they can be readily taxed. instead they take stocks & shareholdings that they justify saying "im tying my wealth to the company's health", when the purpose is to avoid paying taxes and obtaining disposable money by borrowing off those same stocks.
===
and to be specific, most people are asking that buffet contribute the same as the average american taxpayer.
in your examples, you complain that the middle class is getting benefits over the lower class.
the lower class get the same benefits as the middle class, but they never make enough.
the issue is that the upper class is getting benefits the lower and the middle class have no access to. this has increased the income inequality of the US to some of the highest levels since right before the Great Depression.
Never said they should give up power. But as a citizen I don't need to accept that those in power use it to make false claims and demonize an entire group of people such as Muslims for political gain. It creates an environment where hate crime and violence against them is more acceptable.
It doesn't matter what you do or do not accept. You asked a series of questions, so I tried to answer them because I thought that was why you asked them.
they do not contribute enough. you clearly have bought the koolaid in to believing that the ultra wealthy pay their fair share or contribute enough.
As a citizen it does matter with who I vote for and where I contribute my money and effort. I may make no difference personally, but collectively it does matter if it is acceptable or not.
I already responded. First sentence in bold:
It's really a bigger picture issue, but I think you already know the answers.
1. "They don't Contribute enough" is the same mantra the poor says about docs. You are just Cherry Picking and this is my point. Most bottom half would say docs do not pay their fair share but that does not mean it is true. Let's just agree to disagree because it is factual that most Billionaires contribute more $$$, jobs, and GDP than you as a doc would do in a million life times.they do not contribute enough. you clearly have bought the koolaid in to believing that the ultra wealthy pay their fair share or contribute enough.
your friend 1. doesnt work with these people and 2. your friend is most likely covering up for them if he were and 3. this is a logical fallacy - appeal to authority. we dont know your friend or his credentials etc.
when they do contribute, its when their conscience bothers them enough when the realize how much they have gotten advantages from the system.
you seem to want to justify some people having privilege.
i am saying that the amount of privilege is extreme and damaging to those who have never and will never get any modicum of privilege.
fwiw, guess what, Copilot AI agrees with me.

and Wells Fargo even goes so far to print out their rates that show a difference up to 20 million. im pretty certain that the "secured overnight financing rate" would be downwardly adjusted for those with 1000 times that net worth.

i would put it to you - it seems you identify more as a white christian than as an American. the supposed uniqueness of America was supposed to be the melting pot aspect, that this was the only country where one could practice what they believed without fear of repression.
i would also put to you - if the White christian nationalist movement becomes the majority, instead of what we have now , then this extremist element will impose its own totalitarian rule.
exactly.
i noted that those were for up $20 million. the site states that numbers change from those with $200,000 collateral vs $20,000,000. i posted so you could see that there is a difference just from those 2 numbers. yet you seem to be denying that there can be a difference between those with $20 million vs those with $20000 million or $200,000 million....
Guilt by association, fear mongering, etc. doesn't matter what labels you give it. You asked a question, and I'm giving you the answer. Doesn't matter if you feel it's right or wrong. I'm telling you the straightforward answer of why white Christians would be concerned about Muslims getting power.
Identify as a white Christian, lol!!!! New label for me, add it to the others.
We don't have an "oligarchy". Getting favorable loans and not having to work because of wealth is not the same thing as oligarchy.
These are very different things. You're combining immutable properties like race with properties like religion/values/philosophies.
I don't think most Americans would reject someone simply because they're Muslim. It depends on how much they conform.
Yes I think a Muslim specifically not voting for a Christian ONLY because they are Christian is bigoted. And the same in the reverse. Christians have a wide set of values, just like Muslims or anyone else.
I so wish you were right but some see only skin color or religion (if expressed outwardly). A black person can conform to every "American standard" and them will still be condemned by some (smaller than a majority but larger than an ultra minority of folks). Ditto for Muslim.
I don't follow domestic politics as much as I probably should so I'm not too familiary with El Sayed or the Repub Senator but the first thing I'd want to know is why he labeled him as a radical and terrorist. If it's exclusively because he's muslim then I'm on your side with that one but I'd want to know his/her reasoning first.
1. No one is arguing that these groups has better terms Ultra Wealthy (Billionaiers) > Rich (Docs) > Middle Class > Poor >>> Poor with major debt. This is what loan rates are based on, how hard is it to understand this? No one is arguing that Buffet gets better rates than almost everyone else b/c his loans are essentially zero risks. This is how basic economics work..... You prove you are low risk, someone will bid a lower rate for your loan. Why do you think Buffet should get the same rate as You/I or even lower 1/3 with debt?
In a country of over 300 mil you'll find whatever you're looking for. It doesn't mean it's reflective of the whole.
