Before someone invokes rule 8, the xeet got little engagement because it’s about a very local subject. However, I have some supplementary info to add, and this is a nice microcosym of “middle” class brainworms to point and laugh at.
There’s an unused property in my county that the county is trying to figure out what to do with. Somehow, chuds are convinced with no evidence that the county council plans to turn it into immigrant housing (as if that would be a bad thing). This boiled over into one of the council members being harrangued by a mob of angry racists.
Here’s a video from the news showing more NIMBY kkkrakkkers freaking out about it possibly being used as housing for former addicts. It shifts to burgers fearmongering about muh ill eagles half way through.
I also found a blog post by a local reactionary going over the community questions at the meeting that praises the freak from the xeet About half are kkkrakkkers pearl clutching about muh 🤢🦅s, and he ends by going off about how the county needs to adopt draconian laws punishing muh ill eagles.
I’m seeing my closest friends speeding down the fash pipeline due to shit like this. It’s getting to the point where I’ve heard them go off about great replacement shit in all but name. The only reason I haven’t cut them out of my life at this point is a combination of having 0 left wing friends, executive disfunction, and my difficulty functioning living alone making moving out of my parent’s place difficult.
I swear chuds always squeeled about illegal immigration, but somehow it seems like it’s been worse the past year or so then it ever was before.

Turns out the chud with the blog is a Q follower and made a gab post back in October oinking about how the coucil didn’t cOnDeMn HaMaS. Archive link to the post
Housing for sick eagles?
ill eagles → illegals → illegal immigrants
I’ve never seen that before lol
You know, to get around Lemmy’s algorithm
I’m trying to take the piss out of reactionaries using it as their go-to term for undocumented folk.
🤢🦅= ill eagle = illegal
Exactly what I expect to see in that crowd.
I can smell the AXE and cheap beer through the screen
Deeply concerned about all the immigrants flowing over the border and then
staying in border states where they can easily find Spanish-language jobs and services and easily depart when they need togetting on a bus to cross the country and go to Philadelphia to collect bags of cash directly handed to them by Joe Bidenthey’re building housing for vomiting eagles?? congrats…
Also near enough to Philly to have heard. Could try to change your friends’ minds about this stuff, the US’ history of extraction abroad is the reason for the season, and it’s well-documented. The solutions they’re trending towards will only result in a more degraded condition for everybody.
I can usually hook the fashy people obsessed with migrant caravans or whatever. Even most of those folks are peripherally aware of some US’ drug wars and regime change, but once they realize the extent of it, and the dis-proportionality and unjustified nature of so much of what the US has done since WW2, a lot of them do make a real change… Liberals are harder because they even reject the stuff that the CIA brags about on their website.
I can maybe get partly through to them. I’m kinda scared to show my power level with the cold war picking up again.
I lost a couple friends in 2015-2016 to MAGA.
Sure, back then I wasn’t who I am today but I didn’t think they were mask-off fascists. None of them recovered, you’ll find better friends.
Gab is still a thing? I thought all the people too racist for Twitter were allowed back on.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Of course its Delco…
I don’t leave the county often. Does it have a reputation for chuds?
Yeah, from what I know about it, this is on brand.
