I'm an immigrant in the UK who moved here from Africa. I am 100% against illegal immigration. It's the people who illegally enter a country, contribute nothing, get everything for free and then still have the gall to complain about anything that I have a problem with. The disingenuous part of the argument is conflating legal with illegal immigrants like they are the same thing. Illegal immigrants are a net negative to a country.

I guess this topic can be approached from many different angles. We can have utopian views of what an ideal system would look like. I do agree with you about the state. However, within the scope of the current system, it is becoming apparent that mass migration is being forced onto countries against the will of many people and even to their detriment, to the point where I see locals being put in second place. For example, kicking out vets from accommodation in favour of housing migrants. The state is indirectly abusing the people. I believe that migrants are being used as pawns in the states little games. The state has no interest in helping its own people, no way do I believe they are interested in helping anyone else but themselves. I do agree that in certain circumstances providing people refuge is important though. But it should be a careful process that doesn't compromise the rights and safety of anyone who already resides there. I feel that there is a lot of nuance to the subject. Ultimately it always comes down to the monetary system which facilitates this sort of stuff, in my opinion. But as far as immigrants following a process and competing with others in the job market, I have no issue with that.

Their most important asset is mind control. They couldn't care less about Bitcoin. I advocate for using Bitcoin for next steps, this belief that Bitcoin itself is The solution has no base in reality. Use tools as tools, don't adore the tool, use it.

As long as they control the monetary system, I don't believe things will ever really change. I hope that Bitcoin can contribute to this, but I don't think it's the sole solution. Brainwashing and propaganda is their game, manipulating people through 'entertainment' and 'news'. People need to wake the hell up to all the shit going on.
