The virgin "wear balaclavas and burn off your fingertips before protests" vs the chad "I am United States Representative (name), appearing in person in this video to tell you not to commit treason"

The original American immigration policy was the correct and most efficient one:

"Oh wow, you made it here? Okay, you clearly want to be here, welcome and good luck, my fellow American."

The best way to sustain broad support for immigrants it to ensure they hit the ground running so they aren't funneled down the many anti-social and aggravation channels that stem from displacement and poverty.

"oh no if we let the immigrants in and let them languish in limbo for a decade people come to resent them because they act out" OH GEE MAYBE THE LIMBO IS THE PROBLEM

You'll find full-throated support of immigration solves both problems, not cowering in fear in a conservative crouch.

Had Neal Stephenson been aware of furries snowcrash would have been a better novel

we were all clowning on the Metaverse for wanting to retreat from reality into a much less risky digital universe, and I felt kind of weird about that too but ultimately agreed b/c of the people involved - the real metaverse can only be built by horny furries, and we all know it

There is a reason i always wear headphones on the bus
