Gotta hand it to him, getting a bunch of millionaires to donate money to create a news media company and using it to fund his dream of writing movies is pretty funny
But alas, any movie he writes is going to be garbage because conservatives lack the ability to grow and develop just like the characters they create đÂ
This is the same guy that said people can sell their houses if they end up under water from sea levels rising, like anyone is gonna buy a house at the bottom of the ocean. Typical brainless magat.
Because privileged people who have never struggled think leaving to another country is something you can just do on a whim with minimal costs or effort.
You can't, it's an admission of extremist right wing intent to eventually kill all poor people after classifying them as undesirables.
Edit: they don't want poor people to "go somewhere else" they want them to not exist, and at the same time they're not interested in going after employers that pay poverty wages or addressing unsustainable housing prices or unsustainable privatized healthcare. The entire point of endgame capitalism is to mass murder poor people and collapse in on itself because of unsustainable contradictions and mentally ill fantasies about imaginary line must go up to infinity and unsustainable ruling class suicidal wealth hoarding.
I made my owner $120,000 in 4 hours of work, he said he canât do raises this year due to inflation. We profit $5 million a yearâŚpure profit, small company. The rich are the problem in this country, not the poor.
Same. Owner says he can't afford to hire anyone to help me in the shop, but wants me to make stuff for his hunting lodge. Uh-huh. Right. There's just no money to be had.
Okay then let me out? Canada and Mexico both have U.S. Safe Third Country agreements which prevents me from seeking asylum, despite the hundreds of quotes from the US government indicating they wish to harm me for being queer. Even if I do manage to get out and renounce my US citizenship, I still have to pay taxes to the US.
If you want people who don't think like you to get out, give them a way to do that and you can have your intolerant shithole country all to yourself.
I have a cousin who's a famous writer, she served in the US military and said she would leave if Hillary lost .. she lives in Ireland now ,it ends up that what keeps Americans from immigrating to other first world countries is money itself because it was no problem for her
Well yeah, most countries have a "show you can support yourself" rule, essentially that you either have a useful skill set or enough money you won't need any support.
Sadly it isn't just physically being able to leave the US. You need to have a very specific skill set or some other specialized reason that will convince another country that you're worth turning into one of their citizens. You can't just pack up to Spain or whatever and go work at the local market, they won't let you do that. That's for the populace who's already there. So even if you did have the means to leave the US, that would hamper a good chunk of people's ability to actually be in a position to renounce their US citizenship.
Iâm going to stop you there, as someone who actually left the US because it sucks.
Foreign earned income exclusion and foreign housing mean you arenât going to pay federal taxes on anywhere from 140k-230k depending on where you live.
And if you renounce citizenship, you only worry about exit taxes if your net worth is over 2 mil or you have been making over 200k a year.
If any of those were true you wouldnât have a problem leaving the US.
And then after that you just donât actually pay taxes to the US.
So aside from being factually incorrect and ranting I donât know what youâre doing
lol theyd just open a workplace in mexico and keep the headquarters where they are in the US and keep raking in the dough, they wouldnt give a shit who it was working at that location either
My family has been here for so long we were literally on both sides of the French and Indian war. My DNA test says 100% European, the furthest south it goes is the Iberian Peninsula. I should be the most American Human Being Alive⢠to these guys. Now they want to deport me because I can't pay my bills because I "chose a stupid career" by becoming a Paramedic
I had a dude tell me he wished he didn't get a DEI hire(I'm trans) while we were going to the Cath lab for his heart attack. Every cis man I asked about that 12 lead wouldn't have activated the lab and my straight man supervisor told me not to bother with it. I'm the only reason he is alive.
I bet he'd be super offended if you questioned him about his political views before you helped him. And I guarantee he wouldn't recognize that as hypocrisy.
A decent number of places refuse immigrants from non-asylum situatuons that would require them to be on welfare. Being able to prove that you are a boom to the people of the country and not a bane is pretty bog standard.
Shapiro appears to be advocating for the poor to immigrate to another country. As this isn't an asylum situation nobody would take them as many countries will refuse non-emergency immigration for those that will do little more than be a burden on the system.
I thought they overturned Roe v. Wade so they could rejoice in having teenage pregnancies, poor/trapped workers, and an endless supply of disposable canon fodder?
Did they figure out that the technology changes are making most poor workers utterly unable to meet living standards, or are they just trying to inflame class warfare?
Earlier I had someone immediately flip from "you should need an ID to vote" to "poors shouldn't be able to vote, why should they be able to affect the lives of successful people?"
But were it not for the peasants whom amongst will do the labor? Even Louis the 16th saw the value of the great unwashed enough to keep them around until....it was too late.
Do you people who are scratching and crawling to get by every month finally realize who these people with all the money and power are and where you stand with them?
Itâs hilarious how they think they produce all the value and the common people are just parasites.
They genuinely donât realize if that if all the Americans who are struggling to live her just fucked off the entire economy would collapse because there wouldnât be enough workers producing value for corporations to continue existing in their current state.
Switchup? I'd speculate that was their plan from the beginning, didn't Hegseth argue for the... um... "removal" of homeless people at one point? Like, they were never really interested in making America affordable for everyone.
I love someone with dual citizenship to Israel telling other Americans, you shouldn't live here.
Someone with split loyalties to a genocidal and corrupt regime with a worse reputation than North Korea is telling me and MY people (by class) we shouldn't be here....
At this point any unabashed supporter and dual citizen of infanticidal Israel should be.
But that's just my two shekels, cough, I mean, cents.
Que the anti-Semitic bullshit now.or maybe not? Yeah, right...Â
He did say it, but the viral version is doctored. The original line was "young person," not "young American," and he was talking about New York's cost of living after Mamdani won. His point was to move somewhere cheaper in the US where there's opportunity, not to leave the country. Still a bad take, just not the one in this meme.
It's funny because you need to be rich and a professional in a field in order to leave. I can't even move to Canada because I'm just a lowly warehouse worker trying to make rent.
If you don't have enough money to live here, you should leave, which costs a lot of money you won't have if you can't even afford to live? Make it make sense.
"If we kick out everyone under the age of 40 then look at all the jobs for boomers." They say completely aware boomers are retirement age. What? Those factories, farms, and data centers aren't gonna work themselves.
What did he mean by here? Was he talking about the whole country or just a specific part of the country? If you can't afford to live in NYC, LA, SF etc. then it's not unreasonable to consider a lower cost of living area.
But then who will they screw over for financial gain?
The old Libertarian illogic loop.... If all the Atalas' live alone together, they only have each other to exploit for profit, and that usually ends badly....
Notice how he said "young." He knows geriatrics are gonna go "Well it ain't affectin me!" As if they didn't know the only thing that trickles anywhere is suffering.
They realized their policies couldnât do anything about affordability and no one was buying their lies.
Given those circumstances, they dropped the act and are trying to move on from the affordability issue since they have no plan or intent to do anything about it.
Funny thing, Ben F--kface Shapiro, is that we would LOVE to leave. Many youth growing up in the US today consider the new American Dream to be leaving this dump. Problem being, we can't even f--king afford the ticket out!
If poor people cannot afford to live here, maybe we should just tax the rich.
We originally suggested having work situations that pay a living wage, offer benefits, and no risk of being fired for no reason, but the wealthy have said no again and again for decades.
So, tax the rich it is. Subsidized housing, busses, childcare, and medicine.
yeah that was sorta the nonsense i was trying to point out. I'm not American but i really sympathize with you guys. You're facing enemies on so many fronts
Maybe if shapiroâs eyebrows werenât so thick, we would all be able to weather this economy better. The weight of those things is absolutely debilitating.
This was literally always their stance outside of election season when it was convenient.
Also the words affordable, affordability, and groceries are made up by the democrats according to our illustrious president who totally can be trusted to be remotely cognizant and competent.
So they want more people to leave, kick out those you hate, get more of the ones you hate to self deport and now they just want poor people to leave. Sounds like a very welcoming America we got here. And oh I forgot make it so tourists don't even want to visit this joint. What a plan.
the amount of people who can't even afford to move from one part of a state to another part of the same State somehow are magically expected to be able to afford to move to an entirely new country .................
Years ago when I read the first "Rainbow Six" book from Tom Clancy, the plot being extremely rich people wipe out the poor people (unless they had some use) to them, to return the world to a place where they can hunt big game and live a life of luxury.
Sometimes I think this plot, or at least a version of it is being carried out lol

Ew. Ben Shapiro is so hilariously pathetic. Poor dude is just sour that he can't write well.
