    The Haitians in Springfield who got accused of eating geese in the park are currently all there to revitalize Ohio’s automotive industry. Republicans love their car culture and hate their car manufacturing workforce.

      This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

      A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

      So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

          No worries, I don’t expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.

          The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.

        Exactly, this meme is misunderstanding what the fear machine is putting out there. To the pathetic population immigrants are taking all the jobs and getting welfare.

        This is a tangent of that but I thought superposition was the state. The state of being some amount of many states at once. It isn’t positive and negative at the same time but some amount of positive and some amount of negative for some period of time. It’s still one state that is just somewhere between a number of states.

          You are applying too much classical thinking.

          Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

          It is all possible states, at the same time.

          Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

      Often immigrants come to do very low-paid jobs so it’s no wonder that among that group there’d be more really poor people and those on the dole.

    We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

      Yeah because they are going to steal your most beloved jobs! Like cleaning and fast food cooking and everyone’s childhood career dream of being a toilet lady.

      For real though, I could at least follow the logic if it were for high paying, competitive jobs. But these aren’t the migrants you are trying to keep out, in fact it is the one every country wants to get in. So why are the migrants the problem who are going to live in relative poverty, agreeing to wage theft, agreeing to horrible living conditions? The ones who won’t hardly have enough for a pension.

      Also, there is nothing wrong with cleaning, fast food cooking, or toilet ladies. All the more power to them. It is a fucking disgrace that we regard certain unpleasant jobs (that will still need to be done) as low skill, low class, and award them with the lowest pay possible.

    -get a ton of money from the goverment

    -get paid a ton of money at the plant “they all” work at

    -collect welfare

    -do all of the crime

    -never get punished for doing all of the crime

    They can be both because the jobs they work pay too little to live on, so they need welfare to survive.

    Of course that’s true for most jobs that non-immigrants work too, but a few cents more and you’re suddenly not eligible for grocery money.

      The “weak and strong” thing nazis do with Jewish people has always been one of the most ridiculous square circles imo.

      They’re, apparently, weak, bad, lower, undesirable etc. As such, they should be killed to allow the master race to take charge of everything.

      However, apparently, Jewish people are also in charge of all the banks, all the governments and every institution, other than nazi approved ones, as well as being in charge of everything. Ruling from the shadows.

      However, by their own logic, that would make the Jews the master race.

    Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.

    For fascism the power they derive is all from the fear generated by an enemy that is both weak yet strong. They’re weak and know they’re wrong
