False Leftist Kulinski neglects to explain how Trump's plan is
worse than Greenland remaining a Danish colony:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_colonization_of_the_Americas#Greenland_(1814%E2%80%93present)
He is correct about paleoconservatism being not anti-war (war is
fine if it serves their own interests) but merely
anti-interference (they will not go to war for others' sake),
which is why I have always considered paleocons worse than
neocons. But when Denmark stole Greenland, they were also
behaving like paleocons:
[quote]The Danish merchant Jacob Severin was granted authority
over the colony from 1734 to 1740, which was extended until
1749, assisted by royal patronage and Moravian sponsorship of
some of Egede's missionary activities. He was succeeded by the
General Trade Company (Det almindelige Handelskompagni). Both
were granted armed ships and full monopolies over trade around
their settlements, to prevent better-armed, lower-priced, and
better-quality Dutch goods from bankrupting the enterprise.[2]
The ranged nature of their monopolies spurred them to found new
settlements: Christianshåb (1734), Jacobshavn (1741),
Frederikshåb (1742), Claushavn (1752), Fiskenæs (1754),
Ritenbenck and Egedesminde and Sukkertoppen (1755), Holstensborg
(1756), Umanak (1758), Upernavik (1771), Godhavn (1773), and
Julianehaab (1774). The GTC folded in 1774 and was replaced by
the Royal Greenland Trade Department (Kongelige Grønlandske
Handel, KGH), which recognized that the island possessed neither
fertile farmland nor easily accessible mineral wealth and that
income would be dependent on the whaling and seal-hunting trade
with the native Inuit. An early attempt to man a government-run
Scandinavian whaling fleet was aborted and instead the KGH's
Instruction of 1782 banned further attempts to urbanize the
Inuit or alter their traditional way of life through improved
employment opportunities or sales of luxury items.[2][/quote]
So why are paleocons from Denmark preferable to paleocons from
the US? Moreover, how is it a bad thing if paleocons start
fighting other paleocons?

False Leftist Cousins does not understand that America should
have no Western colonial powers as allies. The true destiny of
America is to destroy every Western colonial power. Any move in
the broad direction of this destiny should be encouraged.

False Leftist argumentation:

How does this make sense when Musk himself has stated that he is
simply doing "what the people voted for"? Moreover, if they are
against Musk for not being elected, than does that mean they
support Trump (who appointed Musk), who was?

False Leftist Kulinski criticizes Musk from the wrong direction:
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riZE4cvjf8c
I hate Musk, but on this particular issue in isolation there is
nothing wrong with what he is doing. Kulinski tries to make it
sound like the H1B visa employees are being exploited by Musk,
but how so? The H1B visa workers could have chosen to turn down
the job Musk is offering them. They did not. Therefore, from
their perspective, whatever conditions Musk is offering must
already be better for them than whatever other options are
available. Kulinski, however, is saying that they should be
denied Musk's option, instead of being allowed to choose for
themselves whether to accept or decline Musk's option.

[quote]Do open borders benefit employers? Sure, as it gives them
a larger pool of people from whom to choose whom to hire. It
also benefits workers by giving them - so long as they are
willing to migrate - a larger selection of employers to apply to
work for. Thus the benefit is far from lopsided to the advantage
of employers. Workers can use the available option of taking up
work elsewhere as leverage to persuade an existing employer to
offer higher wages, no less than can employers use the available
option of hiring someone else as leverage to persuade an
existing worker to accept lower wages.

False Leftist Michael Brooks (Jew) pushing the rightist line on
immigration
Are Westerners willing to work for the same “cheap” rates?
Probably not, given their lavsish standards of living. Then why
criticize immigrants who improve the economy with their
additional labor?
All this talk of migrants being “exploited” is nonsensical and
is a rightist talking point. Migrants who voluntarily choose to
take up a job in another country are not being
“exploited”.[/quote]
So Kulinski is now taking the same position as Brooks. And, for
that matter:

One valid criticism of the H1B system is that it is a form of
indentured servitude in that you cannot choose to work for
another company as your visa (and hence immigration) status is
tied to the company. But this can easily be solved by offering
the workers green cards (lawful permanent residency)! The reason
why H1B has become corporate indentured servitude is because
those workers who apply for the green card never receive it due
to the high backlog that limits the number of green cards issued
for a particular country each year, which is a legacy of the
racist immigration quota system. But the False Leftists will not
support this as they are just labor protectionists/unionists who
don't want to compete with immigrants on an equal footing.

I agree that green cards should be made easier to obtain, but
the H1B visa itself is not unethical so long as the employee is
not deceived about what it entails. If the employee is aware
that the visa requires staying with the same company, and
decides to apply for it nevertheless, there is no problem.

Yes, so even on this issue the False Leftist argument that
workers are being exploited falls flat. The argument for Green
Cards should be made on ethical grounds of offering the same
economic opportunity to immigrants as native born workers, as
well as the macroeconomic benefits of having a competitive labor
market, which benefits both workers and employers.

Many present-day "whites" claim to like MLK, but then say MLK
would have opposed DEI. It is possible that they are correct, as
MLK as far as I can tell displayed little understanding of
folkism.

But I agree that DEI (quotas) are designed to create backlash as
they cause people to prejudge "non Whites" as quota hires. The
solution should be to just bar "Whites" from employment.

I have always opposed quota hires in the sense of requiring each
ethnicity to be represented proportionately to their share of
the population, which reinforces ethnic identities. But by DEI I
mean ensuring positions of power cease to be held by "whites"
(as your proposed solution covers).
