    We need to stop unfettered immigration, so closing the borders is great, locking up and kicking out immigrants who have committed legal offenses is good, and we should expedite that process but we shouldn’t be kidnapping or profiling people.

    This is literally what modern fascism is made of. It always starts with “expediting the process” and “immigrants who committed legal offenses,” but these terms are so malleable that you will relatively soon end up at the kidnapping and profiling stage. And let’s not get into how so-called “unfettered immigration” (which is actually pretty fettered when you look at the process) harms exactly nobody if handled properly, as many examples (e.g. Germany) show.

    but also much less regulation because most of it is actually designed to protect the incumbent corporations.

    What kind of regulation do you want gone?

    Justifying things as “scientific” when the science is social science and the results are not reproducible is intellectually dishonest, and is rampant in discourse about various topics nowadays.

    Social science is science and underpins many aspects of modern society such as urban design. Do you have an example of this in action?
