  Silencing good faith arguments surrounding immigration does cause riots. Riots happen whenever democracy fails. It’s best to allow the debates to happen, but draw the line at obvious racism.

    Do you think Musk is making good faith arguments, and if so, what are they?

      Don’t really care about musk. I think he’s a grifter. I got told once that the term “genuine concerns” when discussing illegal immigration is a “dogwhistle”. And thus that automatically made me a white supremacist or some nonsense.
