Look, you guys don't want to do those tough jobs, and you're barely having kids either. So what do you expect? The government isn't just supposed to stand by and watch the country collapse

Because locals avoid hard work and aren't replacing the population fast enough, immigrants fill those gaps. Don't just blame the government blindly.
And don't pretend those cheap prices at the deli or supermarkets magically happen on their own immigrants keep those costs down by taking on the jobs no one else wants.

Interesting perspective

But asking <why do we think this way?> doesn't change the fact that this way of thinking may not fully explain reality or align with scientific truth.
In other words, understanding the origins of our mindset is important, but what matters more is whether it connects with the actual nature of the universe and the spiritual sense of meaning we seek.

Buddhism's ability to transcend personal gods and embrace both cosmic unity and scientific inquiry is more than just a cultural artifact.
At the end of the day, no matter how much we debate the origins of our thinking, if it doesn't relate to the reality we face right now, it's just a philosophical excuse.

What do you all think? If anyone has a better way to bridge <scientific reality> and <spiritual truth> I'd love to hear it

At least those countries have been trying however imperfectly, to reckon with their history and avoid repeating those mistakes

Meanwhile, the America is still funding and backing wars, like the ongoing devastation in Gaza, actively fueling conflicts instead of learning from the past.

So if you want to criticize safe edgy humor, maybe point the finger at the country that’s still pushing violence on the world stage.
