How dishonest do you have to be to deny that this is a perverse attempt to destroy society

And by thinking bigger I don't mean Americans should get to making more babies, I mean we should import MORE immigrants!

You DO want to live in a low trust city like San Francisco, don't you /lit/?

... and I finally found it. He totally fails to account for the reasons that people trust each other - the reliability of other members of their society. He only cares about the trust that drives the economic engine and not the society itself.

Well I'm convinced.

Economic liberalism is not the best system. However, if you want to fool yourself into thinking so, give this comic, Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration, a read.

Open borders. Sure it lowers the standard of living and you can't trust that your neighbors will burgle your tv and you daughter's cunt, but social cohesion is overrated. Think of the GDP!

from the perspective of USA parties, both are neoliberal to the extreme, one just pretends to be benevolent

To globalism! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

Public trust is overrated! Kill whoever gets between you and a roll of toilet paper or else they'll kill you!
