Maybe read the room a little before posting. My sarcasm, in this case, is very warranted, but you “correcting” me with an etymology lesson really makes you look apologetic. Why would you post something so irrelevant to the conversation?
Because a major point of ‘reason’ that the right-wing has with this person’s abduction is that he was ‘here illegally so it doesn’t matter what happens to him’.
This messaging isn’t for you. Its mostly meant to shortcircuit the above.
These little shitty ‘gotcha’ purity tests the left constantly foists upon itself is tiring and the stuff of children. The man the US government abducted is likely dead; murdered by despicable people willing to do unspeakable things to meet their ends. Yet you sit here griping about, what? The way one person, trying to shout back in solidarity against the coming horror, said something slightly askew? I’d think it pathetic if it weren’t so exhausting.
The person in the picture likely didn’t intend it, but qualifying such a statement with “legally” does have the effect of legitimizing the fascism position both in general and regarding illegal immigrants.
I like how this still implies that it’s only wrong because he had a legal situation.

“As we all know, deporting someone without consent is only an issue because he was allowed here legally. Everyone else? Fuck if I care.”
That’s not what their phrasing insinuates and I can see your cloaca from all the contortions you had to do to arrive at that conclusion.
Why say legally if it changes nothing, then?
