Are you familiar at all with the concept of juxtaposition?
When Tutsis were called "cockroaches" in the lead-up to the Rwandan Genocide, do you think the speakers were literally saying that Tutsis were a type of bug...?
Bonus, DOJ is trying to sweep this lawsuit under the rug: https://ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/xai-memphis-trump-d...
"In the memo accompanying its motion, the DOJ characterizes the NAACP’s lawsuit as a national security threat—Colossus powers Grok, an AI model that the Department of Defense uses in military operations—and contends that enforcing the Clean Air Act against xAI is not 'consistent with federal policy and the public interest.'"
This is for unpermitted construction polluting nearby neighborhoods.

So yeah, according to Occams razor, grifting liars gonna grift and lie.
(He knows this, too, given his recent panic on the subject.)
Nobody is calling MacKenzie Scott a parasite.
Question is, does this info come from reputable pollsters? Or is it just a factoid propagated by right-wing media?
Also, impossible to square with a conservative white base *also* holding similarly regressive views. (Speaking from a US perspective, not a Euro one, but the same people yelling about regressive immigrants are also genuinely trying to disenfranchise women in favor of male-headed family units, and other things in this vein.)
It's pretty clear to me that all these parties have racial animus (not ethnic identity) as their core, and we all know where that leads.
I prefer to keep living without this quivering fear of my neighbor and will continue to vote for multiculturalism. See you at the polls.
Hey, remember the Crusades? This is not unique to Islam. Any religion can be made into a tool of peace or a tool of war. Wicked leaders will interpret their sacred texts however needed to further their political goals.
"Violent white supremacism is a symptom of multiethnic societies."
All modern societies are multiethnic societies. Once white supremacy is done with the obviously foreign-looking people, it will start to eliminate those who are not white enough, resulting in an existential and violent battle over determination of the "volk". As a descendant of white immigrants whose ancestors would not have been considered fully white in my country, I would not want to live in this environment. No doubt that I would be on the chopping block at some point for not sharing x% blood with some arbitrary progenitor.
"Overall the solution is simple: muslims can have their own countries where they can do what they want, and other people can have their own countries with their own rules."
Well, as a white person in a historically white country, I say Muslims are welcome to be my neighbors, and anyone who disagrees can go live somewhere else.
All the same stuff was said about Jews in pre-Nazi Germany. It's always bullshit. Neither Muslims, nor Jews, nor white people, nor any broad group of people ever acts as a united bloc. Again: most people just want to live in peace and ensure a good future for their children.
I'll be on the side of my nice Muslim neighbors (who did nothing wrong to anyone) against the red-faced white supremacist mobs. It is very obviously the correct moral position and will be viewed as such by our descendants.
In the US, the most heavily armed communities also tend to be the least diverse. It is largely a consequence of insular paranoia and hatred stoked by right-wing media.
