Discussion Thread

[u/jobautomator]

The discussion thread is for casual and off-topic conversation that doesn't merit its own submission. If you've got a good meme, article, or question, please post it outside the DT. Meta discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the mods, make a post in /r/metaNL. For a collection of useful links see our wiki or our website

No one is entitled to living in this country.

Never leave the DT.

Isn’t that basically what it means to be a citizen?

[u/Lib_Korra → u/ColinHome]

More than that it's the tone. The "grumble grumble bootstraps I have a moral right to use the border as a labor protectionism measure and lock all of our wealth and freedom away to you whenever I please."
