One of the last to fall to the 'clickpad' trend. Soon nobody will remember a time of serviceable laptop touchpads with physical buttons where you could precisely and efficiently accomplish real work; a time before the ubiquitous featureless expanse of a clickpad where erratic drivers reduce your interface to vague suggestions to the OS. What's the point of laptops if we have to plug in an external mouse anyway?

What the fuck, Paul? Are you doing this ironically to mess with people? Somebody check this guy's hdd.

It's weird to think that ethnic organisations are weird when it's the most natural social group you can form. You are literally genetically similar to these people. You have a shared history, culture, etc. In a biological sense, you have an innate interest in each other's prosperity (at least, moreso than you would an ethnically-distant stranger).

You're taking your "anti-racism" to the point where it is unnatural, absurd, and alienating. People inherently want community with their kin but you are telling them that they are wrong for pursuing it.

What are they doing wrong? Wouldn't it be arguably immoral not to put their talents to work locating criminals?
>NSDAP. However, one who believes such things is simply wrong.

They're being proven right

They're still illegal. You can and should defend yourself from poor strangers who view their circumstances as justification to infringe upon you. You can and should enforce your border.
