Thanks man, good luck to you as well. I think from the state of my mind so far that ill forever be content with the state of the world and the possibility of my friends having little care for me. Though i still hope to think of more people than myself, at least in the way of not making their lives more difficult. Everyone is in the same river as you too though, maybe take a break from paddling to let someone in the boat with you, so you can push them farther in the river, if they paddle on without you and leave you unable to paddle any longer, either someone will help you paddle on farther or you can just appreciate the beauty of the river, the plants, the animals. If you can always have this appreciation you can find happiness in letting the river carry you where it may.

"We make use of uniquely comprehensive arrest data from the Texas Department of Public Safety to compare the criminality of undocumented immigrants to legal immigrants and native-born US citizens between 2012 and 2018. We find that undocumented immigrants have substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, US-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. In addition, the proportion of arrests involving undocumented immigrants in Texas was relatively stable or decreasing over this period. The differences between US-born citizens and undocumented immigrants are robust to using alternative estimates of the broader undocumented population, alternate classifications of those counted as “undocumented” at arrest and substituting misdemeanors or convictions as measures of crime." Is the abstract of a Princeton approved PNAS article by Light, He, and Robey. My mistake for characterizing you as a Republican, I do not vote because I dont really care much for who wins, the last sentence you made was actually quite accurate, except I dont think realists provide much at all for me, technological advancement in the last 200 years was made by mostly socialist thinkers and if youre referring to farmers or something I appreciate the food but I work a job and pay taxes and i dont care if my money gos to imported filth, they can ride off my work all they want because im not stuck up on fairness in this way you seem to be. A few of your paragraphs are responded to better in my response to your argument below.

again, i dont care what you think i am the epitome of or whether nomadic people from Africa and the Middle east live low lives, from these unnecessary statements it seems youre trying to take the intellectual high-ground as opposed to the argumentative one. I have no smug warm feeling of occupying a moral high-ground because I am trying to be open to your ideas, which may be much better than mine, it seems someone who feels smug on the high-ground would not listen to the ideas of the those on the low ground, it seems more fitting for them to insult those on the low-ground and generalize them into standard progressive liberals for example. I know too little about politics too argue with you on practicality(which is quite similar to what i think is your idea of progressive liberal scum, so please dont talk about that in your response) but it seems to me as though too many people who decide to work hard to have a high individual standard of living provide little real service to advancing technology and use their personal fortunes for unnecessary things, is their no way of allocating the profits made from services to people at a base level and proportionally funding the advancement of services based on their profit and utility? as I said before, why do you care about fairness beyond the base level? reducing the difference of opportunity for those at the base level to the richest is a fairness of opportunity as opposed your idea of fairness of money proportional to work which means you again seem to care more about unnecessary material things (those not at base level) and not of technological advancement (which can increase the base level so the base allows for greater opportunity in exponential progression, where opportunity is not competitive but based on more effectively teaching children). The world is only dog-eat-dog for those who want material things, which is much more limited than information. Ideally, the beauty of information is the primary incentive. You have to step on very few people to live a life at base level.

why wont you make an argument without insults and buzzwords? there's no one to be offended by your insults or the suggestions of your buzzwords. It seems odd to say Biden is ravening when what your saying suggests that you are hungry for the support of people who agree that the liberals are idiots. I also think its regrettable that you (as I believe you to suggest here), and I assume many of your republican peers, favor raising American incomes to the point of excess, rather than being compassionate to people in other countries. I believe you will not think good of utilitarian action as it means the things that your unstable happiness is based on dwindle. This includes material things and, as an example, having to work hard for success. Why do you care about how fair the world is, because I suspect that it is deeper than the lessening of your material possessions. A government's purpose, which I will argue with you on if you disagree, is to, in this context, allow the most amount of people, under the government, to live at a base level of resources, that they can with the resources they have. The distinction of people under the government is not made as a matter of pride, but because of logistical convenience as it applies to other people living at or above a maximum base level of resources relative to the entire system of governments. When you say pieces of filth from the world's failed nations though, it is a resource rich government that will lift them to the maximum base level under utilitarian action.
