libs have invented the “smart” third position of making being homeless illegal

Not an invention. The law, in its majesty, forbids poor and rich alike from sleeping under bridges.

Involuntary commitment to a state hospital where they can receive treatment. But nooo…we don’t have state hospitals any more because in the 70s the libs sued them out of existence.

The disappearance of anti-immigrant sentiment

There wouldn’t be immigrants. The word would disappear. With a one-world government, there wouldn’t be any borders. People could move anywhere they liked. Total mobility. Wherever the state needed people to work, they’d be transported there. Obviously there would have to be a few restrictions to prevent whites from fleeing and gathering in settlements in some uninhabited land, but for the most part a whole chunk of vocabulary would be thrown away. Passport, illegal alien, immigrate, emigrate, citizen, all of them about as relevant as the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Yeah, this was totally not written by the author.

Most advice columnists write their own letters. Shocker, I know.

“Cite your sources” requires a level of trust that most people haven’t earned with me. If I do go to the work of citing widely known facts, I had better not get a knee-jerk rejection when I come back with points.

I’ve cited sources when I got similar requests. I’ve sometimes crafted detailed responses detailing them point by point. And I’ve been burned again and again. Unless I already trust you, or you have made a good argument refuting the claims as a better and more complete version, I don’t feel obligated to do as you say.

People who demand evidence for things they already know to be true are usually arguing in bad faith. Would you demand somebody send you a peer reviewed study proving that not everyone likes chocolate chip cookies?

Americans used to be surprised by ethnics who could speak English at a native level. This happened within living memory. Bruce Lee used to resent it when he had act foreign on The Green Hornet, because Americans heads would explode if he spoke normally.
