Context: Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that children born in the US have a constitutional right to citizenship.

Meanwhile, the DoomerCirclejerk subreddit is a reportedly unbiased sub that claims to poke fun at people who "doom" over current events. They vociferously opine that they are not a right-wing subreddit.

Several threads were made making fun of people "dooming" over the Supreme Court's recent ruling. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

-------------------------------

I’m not going to freak out, but it is worrisome that right now 1.5 million children born on US soil through birth tourism are living in China, are going to be raised in the Chinese system and so on. > Where are those numbers from? >> I looked it up and it’s an estimate between Chinese data on returning citizens who have had children abroad. So I would probably go with the Chinese numbers >>> Where is this Chinese data? >>>> I’m at a job site right now

The idea that a CCP-born loyalist has even a snowball's chance in hell at becoming president under this electorate is pretty funny. > Get ready to get called racist for not voting a spy into office

I don’t know, maybe the Chinese should take over for a bit, they seem to build roads, houses, and world class rail super faster than our geriatric corrupt assholes can. /s (kinda) > CCP slop take >> -5 social points

It’s plainly observable that there is a real effort to demographically replace Americans with an immigrant under class the elites can more easily control. > Ok doomer >> Facts = doomer. Forgot Reddit is full of leftist retards. >>> What facts? This is doomer bs. Oh no, the nation of immigrants is continuing to allow immigrants to come here. Must be some nefarious plot by -The Elites- for more control.

Matt Walsh isn't a doomer. He's a grifter. I doubt he genuinely believes this - but it encourages engagement and keeps his name relevant. > Not really a grifter. How is he a conman? How is he exploiting trust to get victims to part way with their money when much of his content is free? If he is a "grifter" anyone in journalism is a grifter. >> He's manufacturing outrage to gain social media attention. Maybe it's a bit loose use of the word, but in no way do I actually believe he's devastated by this ruling. He wants engagement. >>> What is manufactured? Should everyone be happy birthing tourism can change state elections in the future? Huge demographics changes nobody voted for ?

Lmfao, not dooming at all. Totally reasonable anxieties. I'm sure this really impacts your day to day. /s > pointing out an incredibly stupid policy isn’t dooming >> This sub frequently believes that pointing out that some things are actually bad is ‘dooming’. > His kid's ability to live in a country that "looks and functions something like America" was "stolen from them" because of an amendment passed in 1868? Because the Supreme Court refused to overturn an amendment and 200 years of precedent? Not dooming? Ok >> And it’s been the same since the 1860s. Were you this afraid of it 10 years ago? You guys are so dumb it’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad. >>> not only was the the third world not just a plane ticket away in the 1860s, citizenship was still reserved for white men of good character, which is what the founding fathers wanted. you’re embarrassingly ignorant

China has over 1M US citizens currently being brought up in China. You know what happens when the CCP strategically places them in the US? China can take over without firing a shot. > Lol yes 1 million Chinese citizens are going to destroy or take over a nation of 350 million. Found the right wing doomer... >> The adeptus chinastartes are coming any decade now…

Get ready, you're gonna get a lot of, "This isn't dooming, it's a real issue" on this one. > There’s an extent to which you move beyond anti-dooming into just garden variety nihilism. If you can’t see what makes this such a terrible decision or why it is, in fact, a real issue, I don’t know what to tell you. >> It's a terrible decision to preserve the status quo for 168 years? Wild take. >>> When the “status quo” was effectively turned into a loophole to flood the country with fraudulent amnesty seekers from third world countries by a sitting president and the party behind him attempting to remake the nation’s demographics illegally, yes, terrible decision. >>>> Are you doing white replacement? >>>>> In the kindest terms possible: fuck off.

no officer the weapons that I have aren't illegal, they're just undocumented

The problem is that voters are not rational. They don't actually care whether or not an issue will make the country better or worse. They just listen to what their camp tells them to think.

Its funny when conservatives make the most slippery slope argument ever > Not sure what you mean

So naturally, America is on life support. > 14th amendment should be erased >> Ok, so write your congressman. >>> I know.

> The basis of this are abuses of the amendment, such as taking a vacation when pregnant in order to have your kid be a US citizen. The amendment clearly was not intended to allow this, which is why there was a case. This is why three judges ruled this was a reasonable use of executive authority, but the majority decided that it wasn’t. Some of the majority had different reasoning than some others, but came to the same conclusion. The sad part of this is taking the view that there isn’t a possible other viewpoint at all. As an example, the second amendment allows unrestricted arms, but note that you can’t buy missiles or standard issue tanks as a citizen. In other words, amendments are often limited based on preventing abuses, but keeping the primary intended purpose of the amendment. Even more sad, this won’t be seen as showing that the court remains independent of Trump, instead the doom is still there and this will just be ignored. The one thing for certain is we are doomed.

because the sign of a healthy democracy is that everyone thinks the exact same thing with no variation. > Well, a sign of healthy democracy sure isnt giving citizenship to someones child with absolutely no connection to this country, its history, or its values, because they crossed the imaginary map line 5 minutes before dropping their umbilical anchor on american land, and then flying off to another country to raise them under another culture their whole life (for example communist china's birth tourism.
