It's sort of fucked up how relieving it is to know your parent in laws got their US citizenship years ago. It should not be like this

There's a plenty of ideological reasons, but I think it is partly the environment being so stressful makes it harder for people to be considerate to new viewpoints or people.

Yeah, and my labor contributes to the capitalist orphan grinding machine. Question is not who is pure, but what people are doing with their privilege. Someone is using their new privilege to murder opponents, and she may have used her privilege to take away freedoms. Doesn't make the two wrongs into a right.

Unless one of your values is to take wealth from those that don't share your values, this is not a critique that will lead to meaningful corrections. I guess that could be a conservative value, but now you're just doing identity politics.
