This is unconstitutional because it’s cruel and unusual punishment

We really need to bring back state mental hospitals

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

This is the best answer to that idea.

You want a bunch of incels poisoned to death? Because that is how you get a bunch of incels poisoned to death.

This results in those women being giga deported, by the way.

[–] yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 19 hours ago

Funniest (also scariest) part is, they believe they are helping "lowly" female immigrants in desperate need. They offer poor women a warmply place in awesome 'murican society, so generous!

Gogo to the rescue of poor women. /s

Same as glorious gov gonna rescue unaborted child, to let them reach (totally not in pain) to the birth day to be baptised and die right after, whatever if mom die in the process.

Same as Putin goes Ukraine helps poor loyal russians that only felt under ugly propaganda of the west (there is no ukrainians, thats fake nationality, all those are 200% true russians), gonna help them (with rifles and tanks).

Same as this and that church rush one and true crusade to slay and purge pagans and their souls.

sigh humanity has left the room.

He's a 24 year old unmarried (likely incel) running for Governor in California. He isn't even going to win the primary, how about we just all collectively ignore this dumbass.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yes... But also no. It's important to address the cancer, even when you think it probably won't take root.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Don't give it a stage. Imagine where we'd be if news outlets stop giving free advertising to these people. Remember all the free marketing News channels gave to Trump in 2016. That was back when even Fox News was against him.

By talking about it, you are validating it. Treat these dumbshits like you would a flat earther. Ignore them and let them quietly die out. I know that will never happen because 1. It's too late and 2. It's good for ratings.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

It should be talked about. But 1. Briefly and 2. Harshly. Ignoring completely just let's those things do whatever, run rampant or die out. But acknowledging let's you go "we see you, you're stupid, good bye". No ground for fighting or rebuttal. Just a straightforward disapproval and continue on.

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Think of all the lost clickbait! God what has become of journalism?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

What an absolutely sick fuck.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

He's a governor candidate just like vermin supreme is a presidential candidate.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

The US has already elected vermin, the old prejudice appears to be gone.

Oooohhh, sexual slavery already? That was fast

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Do something disgusting for a couple of years, get half the community property. Some might take that deal.

Especially when it's a miserable pencilnecked geek like this guy who could be easily intimidated into staying in the basement after the initial "consummation" down the side of his leg.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

There's not a snowballs chance in hell these people will be recognized as legitimate citizens if they take this deal, they will have fewer rights and what rights they do have will be entirely contingent on their continued marriage. Mark my words, there is no way this deal comes out the other end with it benefiting the immigrant beyond getting to stay in the country.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Very on brand.

What about male undocumented immigrants? Or is America now like some stupid club or frat party where they want to only let women in?

Do you want to triple the state's death by poisoning rate?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Might help the political situation

This should have been a very obvious outcome to those who paying attention to what's been going on and how we got here. It's basically an extension of the "passport bros" culture and another ploy for predatory behavior.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

So... he wants more greencard marriages...? Is that what he's saying?

[–] Ava@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Of course not, that would provide legitimate status, and would allow them to leave their husbands. Best to connect their presence here to the man so that their leaving is under threat of deportation.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 1 points 20 hours ago

Everyone's getting new South American wives who are here on day passes that can revoked at any time. They have no legal status or rights whilst here, and their piece of shit masters can do what they please. We'll call it chattel slav... wifery.

It was difficult looking at this article, and the picture of this individual was unsettling, but I pulled the page open just to double-check the quote.

Langford added, “We know who you are, we know where you are, if you marry one of our Californian incels then you can stay but if you don’t, then, well you get sent back across.”

It would appear that he, indeed, did say those words.

What a horrible person.

this is some handmaid's tale shit.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Normally that’s hyperbole, but yeah. Next he’ll say it was a joke, because suuuure it was.

That's some Gilead shit.

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 141 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh yes, tie their ability to stay in the country to them staying in a marriage to someone who actively despises their existence...

Oh wait, that's the "Greatness" a lot of these chuds want to bring back. The days before the country was "ruined" by "No-Fault Divorce" when women couldn't have their own bank accounts and were at the mercy of their husbands/fathers... Right.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know of at least one ancestor who murdered at least one husband maybe more, my point is that a lot of these profligates would be killed by poisons real fucking quick. Wait would an incel be a profligate? Like a lot of them buy into a weird bastardized form of Stoicism.

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think so. I looked up the definition quickly to be sure, and:

shamelessly immoral or debauched. wildly extravagant or wasteful.

I know they wouldn't think so obviously. But a lot of that seems to fit pretty well I think the whole goal of "force whatever woman I can to be my own personal Bang Maid subject to all my whims," kinda qualifies.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah I guess their intentions matter as much as their actions on this one.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago

"trump gave me a wife!"

[–] Amonverite@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

Another Repug failure that will NOT be elected governor of Blue California!
