So here's someone complaining about POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD again

quote:

I’ve been calling in tips to ICE for almost a year now, but I’m aftaid to be proud of this.

At some point the SA forums turned from a cool comedy place into a liberal hive mind circlejerk echo chamber straight from dystopian fiction. I now feel like the guy from 1984, forced to like the same things all the “all powerful” liberal elite on this site. So I can’t discuss it here.

But I like doing it. It frees up jobs for Americans, decrease welfare, and reduces crime. I’m not a racist but, let’s be honest, we all know what goes on at Mexican restaurants. Some dude who barely speaks English takes your order and a bunch of undocumenteds cook it, then you pull up to the next window and fork over your hard earned money to these illegals.

You’re willfully ignorant if you don’t realize this, and downright evil if you’d let this continue while Americans are jobless.

If I hear Spanish or Greek or Swahili or Palestinian or whatever? Guess what? I’m calling it in, just to be safe. If you’re innocent, you have nothing to fear.

I hope you’re starting to see the real picture, but I want to share one last story. Maybe you’ll get a little apathy for a real “Dreamer” - me.

I graduated college in 2011 with a degree in accounting. I fully admit I’m not the most social guy, and my grades weren’t perfect. But I spent 3 loving months job hunting, forced to move back home or sell all my possessions.

I had to take less salary than I wanted (about 10% less than the median accountant salary in my area), have no flexible hours, limited vacation, and have barely progressed in the 7 years I’ve been there.

Everyday I look at this fucker, Julio, who basically runs the office. Started a month after me and has jumped over me for a promotion 3 times. I’m still entry level, he’s some bullshit account specialist. He gets to travel, he gets flexible hours because his “poor wife” has MS, everybody laughs at his jokes and nobody calls him “the weird guy”.

He wasn’t born here, he always talks about his love for Colombia and how he loves visiting there. So loving move back!!! We don’t want or need you here, I could do your job and I don’t need to leave early because of “a major MS issue”. I also wouldn’t gently caress around all day bullshitting with clients and staff. Who loving cares about what some oval office’s baby just said?

I miss the days I could have freely posted that on SA and gotten cheers and positive feedback from other goons. Now I’d have a bunch of liberals yelling at me for triggering the Spanish speakers.

The funniest part of this is "straight from dystopian fiction" coming from the guy who is literally trying to call fascist police on people because they talk funny

quote:

I’m a real life superhero. Or at least, I will be soon.

Police are failing us, the rich are eating us alive, and these conditions are causing crime to rise. It would be easy to blame the criminals, but that does not solve a thing.

I know the real criminals, the root cause. The super wealthy.

They have feasted well but, soon, the meal will be over. You’ll see a lot more of me soon, especially if you live around Arizona.

I mean, you are correct that the rich are the main problem with society but the thing is they have security and stuff so even if you buy some batons and do a Kick-rear end impression you're probably not gonna get very far here

It's a bit more subtle on the "anon doesn't realize how much of an rear end in a top hat they clearly are" signifiers than the archetypal trollpost, so maybe it's genuine or maybe they're just getting better at writing those

Like, the closest thing was the part where he goes "nobody calls HIM 'the weird guy'", but I could actually imagine a very bitter person unironically saying something like that

The biggest tell that it's fake is the 3 whole months he spent looking for work. Then he slips from just being opposed to illegals to being openly racist against his presumably legal co-worker.

Dear ICE Hot Tip Goon: No one would yell about you "triggering the Spanish speakers." They'd yell about you being an rear end in a top hat. Hope that helps.

(I am operating under the assumption that this confession, like all confessions that aren't painfully obvious, is real. Mostly because the last Anonymous Confessions Thread turned to poo poo after everyone stopped discussing the feshes and just went "nope, fake" to every single one, that was less interesting than this thread has been)

That particular aspect is believable, but in general it's also following the exact same formula all the other troll posts have used where it starts from a controversial point that you can almost plausibly accept but gradually works in details that make it way too ridiculous. It's not that he's racist against a legal Columbian, it's that he's racist against a man whose wife has MS and is popular at work. Had it stopped with the guy saying, "If you love Columbia so much then go back," it'd be way more believable. But it pushes things just a tad too far and makes the confessor into a caricature.

Wow, even if it's a troll, what a shithole "accountant" that guy is. If he didn't figure out by now the best way to move up in a company is to be sociable, friendly, and outgoing, then this shallow husk of a human being deserves to be the debits and credits bitch for life. But I'm sure this racist has the forethought to think critically about his position in life and how to improve it instead of scapegoating others.

I think Mr. ICE snitch is a little too on the nose on certain points to be anything but another bad goon Creative Writing attempt (hint CC goons, stupid assholes aren't usually self-aware that they are stupid assholes...take a lesson from the Reddit thread), but the point is that people like that DO exist in the real world and so it's still acceptable to respond and analyze the post as if they were actually.

After all, we don't dismiss fictional film or literature as being worthy of discussion just because "they're not real".

Oh, it's entirely possible that ICE Snitch Goon is a creative writing exercise; I just don't care that much. The last thread turned into "confessions are posted, someone (usually Jastiger IIRC) calls bullshit, thread spends a page arguing over whether calls of bullshit were plausible while confession gets ignored, repeat" and it was dull as hell; it's more interesting and fun IMHO to just suspend disbelief, pretend they're all written in earnest, and actually talk about the confessions rather than whether or not an idiosyncrasy in the writing style indicates a falsification or whatever. Criticizing the story is way more fun than criticizing the writing, is what I'm getting at. :)

Yeah but the point stands that if its real the dude is transparently a racist loser.

"We all know what goes on back there." This is dog whistling bullshit. I don't give a gently caress if a kid ran away from mexican cartels and police corruption to send his mom $20 a week from Taco Bell, and as a loving accountant how are you not hyper aware of the massive wage discrepencies. Didn't you get vetted for this job? Did they ask for your social secuirty information or run a credit check or any of the things real businesses, especially accounting firms do?

how could an illegal have gotten your job? Call ICE on yourself.

My favorite one of all time is the one where that goon's dead uncle trolled the gently caress out of him by getting a tall guy to come and say a line from phantasm. Whenever I look at that one I laugh my rear end off for a few minutes.

The range of opinions on illegal immigration go from people who think it's a war crime to enforce the most basic of immigration policies that every civilized country does, to people who think all the invading hordes, who keep their prices for goods and services like their Supersized Fries artificially low across the board and generate billions of additional GDP, are somehow ruining the economy.

The guys not wrong that it's more internet-acceptable to fall on one end of the spectrum than the other, but don't worry Tortilla Crusader, I think you're just as big a loving moron as the people on the other end are.

I want stricter enforcement of the border and more paths to citizenship or legitimate stays in the country by illegal immigrants, but mostly because I think it's unethical to run our businesses on a literal underclass of people paid less than the already dangerously low minimum wage, often with less strict safety standards and no easy way to identify when this vulnerable underclass is being preyed upon by actual criminals.

I definitely wouldn't call ICE on anyone tho.

Assume it's fake, treat it like it's real has always been the advice for these threads. I just want to read good confessions, so when something is as lazy as that I don't feel bad calling it out.

I don't know if it's one dude submitting that style of confession, but it's repeated itself about a dozen times now and they've all been called out (not usually by me but sometimes) in this very thread and the thread doesn't devolve into accusing every confession of being fake.

I don't really see calling out the bad confessions as a problem if the goal is to encourage better fake confessions.
