White nationalists stage anti-refugee protests in Tennessee

[QUOTE=Conscript;52834937]Not if it comes at someone else's expense which makes the gesture shallow.[/quote] it only comes at someone elses expense if that person chooses to let it or we fail to integrate a refugee group successfully. As a matter of fact several cities in the US willingly let in groups refugees of their own volition (a lot of towns with historically large Quaker communities do this). The US is so absurdly large that its almost a certainty that theres a town somewhere that wants to take in refugees.

Just put refugees in communities that want them then? I know for a fact that several of those exist.

Also, what does virtue signalling even mean at this point? Ive seen it used in several different context, although it just seems to be a new edgy synonym for doublespeak or publicity stunts.

Also to my knowledge most refugees stick to the larger cities anyways so they hardly get noticed by anyone.

[QUOTE=Conscript;52834877]Why should politically irrelevant small town america be forced to deal with refugees (who do not go back) resettled by virtue signalling policy makers that never actually live near them? Why should they tolerate this political inequality[/QUOTE]
What?

Also do you know what virtue signalling even means. Actually doing something is the opposite of virtue signalling. That's like telling a soup kitchen volunteer that he's just virtue signalling.

lump of labor fallacy

There isn't a fixed amount of work in an economy that will get competed for by the icky foreigners. Markets expand with their labor. Whether this winds up being beneficial is difficult to predict but the answer is usually that it is largely beneficial to natives.

They just canceled the followup in Murfreesboro, cause like only a few dozen white nationalists showed up, and there was already a thousand counter-protestors waiting there for them.[/QUOTE]

On a sidenote, that is a weird-ass name for a town.

Medicine Hat still wins, though. By a mile.

The first time I was scanning leads from a tradeshow conference and came across someone from there, I thought it was a joke.
