You punish their source country until they decide to take them. And if Kristallnacht is needed to keep Europe safe, then so be it. Although I think that there are some milder approaches to culturally assimilate the better lot of them if we are hard enough. And only deport the culturally incompatible ones.
Anyway chemical castration for border trespassing is a suitable punishment I think that will do wonders both for reducing immigration/refugees and sexual assaults committed by them.

Gunboat diplomacy to take them.

Taiwan will be anschluss-ed with China. That is inevitable. Even the KMT knows it. So far it seems that KMT is trying to get there the easy way and the DPP are trying to see how hard the hard way will be.

The test case here will be around Israel in the coming years. Who I would put at S-Tear for air-force and electronic warfare within it's immediate vicinity.
The only thing that saves Israel is that the people that actively want to harm them are really really stupid. And the smart are deterred by the Vela incident. A couple of MIT kids with couple of billions of dollars would have wiped them out of existence so far.
That does not make it acceptable to enslave, discriminate, oppress, or demean a race of people - all people deserve a baseline of dignity and respect.
I wouldn't go that far. I think it is ok for my fellow citizens and for people with genes or cultural traits I find valuable, but why do so for the rest? With what the afghani coward that didn't put resistance to the Taliban takeover deserves dignity and respect for crossing my border illegally? The FGM supporter? The honor killing enabler? The "refugees" in Ceuta that started sexually assaulting the few women that actually crossed?
Do you think that Europe and UK would be a better or worse places now if we had sunk the boats?

It is well known I can fix her effect.
Ahem ... she needs no fixing.

Trans people existing does not
From my point of view the majority of new trans since the great awokening are - FtM - mental illness and social contagion in young women. MtF - sexual fetish.

He had this creepy field around him that would allow him to play Lavrentiy Beria in a biopic without much effort. I think that Lennon was in this weird spot where people loved him, but nobody really liked him.

Game of Drones - so I was thinking whether the war in Ukraine will lead to China catching up in one of the two areas that they are behind so far from the west - jet engines. Russia started moving from piston to jet for their drones, their appetite is voracious and it plays right where China historically has started their conquest of the supply chain - the bottom. So this is a perfect storm for knowledge gathering - ability for rapid iteration, great demand for performance and customer that has high failure tolerance.

Short of remigration, can it be fixed?
Xinjiang style will fix it quite fast.

Schekley is timeless, so is Zelazny, as is Heinlein. The golden age of american Sci Fi is the same as the golden age of american animation. If you are only confined to it - it should actually be enough for a lifetime (I never tire of merrie melodies and the others).
Almost any hugo and nebula shortlist before the great awokening is worth checking out. You want romance for men - Vorkosigan Saga is there waiting for you. Thrillers are also published and we have Dresden files. You have many space operas.

If the travelling merchant doesn't make anything but sells cloth for two ducats a yard while buying it for one ducat a yard, he's a greedy middle-man who doesn't do anything of value (although I'll still sell him my cloth because nobody else will buy it...).
No one else will buy it because the merchant has patent from the king to only serve this area.
Modern businesses excel at creating environments where they need not compete. Regulations, vertical integrations, captive customers, licensing, cartels, centralization, credentialism - businesses love them. They hate the free and efficient market with a passion. Anything that raises the barriers of entry - they approve.

It is cartels all the way down. Whenever you look for explanations about abnormally high prices - just look for cartels. Any market where there are less than 5 sellers/buyers you have automatic cartel behavior even if not explicit.
The markets in the west have been trough so much mergers, acquisitions, agglomerations that usually in whatever chain of commerce you think of there is usually a choke point in which there are few players.
Governments have kinda maybe somewhat alleviated the problem when there is a single seller for something. But they have not even tried to solve what happens when there are 2-3 buyers only (or 2-3 sellers) that just don't feel to compete with each other. Or the case of a single buyer. For example the meat packers right now are fucking both the beef producers and consumers.
Airline, travel, communications, internet providers, car rental, healthcare, groceries - if it is not produced in China - you have a cartel or something similar. This is how private equity operates too - they buy all the small businesses in an area and just jack up the prices - because instead of 20 plumbers, you suddenly have 20 "independents" bought by 2-3 PE funds.

We love the idea of exploring what orcs were before they became soulless, mindless slaves to Sauron’s will
THEY WERE ELVES!!!!! Literally. There were never free orcs.
It descends into levels of cringe, once deemed impossible.
And a tourist visa isn’t a residency visa.
It kinda is... I was shocked how much stay it allowed. IIRC if you spend less than 50% of your time in USA and don't work you could stay effectively forever jumping between mexico and usa.

The problem with food staples is that demand is extremely inelastic and poor people are extremely sensitive to and hurt by price increases. Even small increases in the inputs or decrease in outputs could lead to great social troubles.

If she can shoot My Third Gandband Orgy (anal edition) legally, she can totally hang out with you if she feels comfortable. If she was 50 years old cougar will you kick her out? It is still 20 years age gap.
This is not tea. This is progressive Kool Aid. If someone hits on her too hard - tell him to cool it off. If she hits on someone - ah whatever - envy and pity the poor bastard.

Anti ICE people are a lot quieter after the Pretty Good affair... so I guess your answer is yes.

Ahh yes - the consensual sex with foster care escapee, before she is fed and hydrated. Because that is how women work.

What we need is some transparency about how these things work and how they’re trained so we
I am not sure we really grok how the insides of LLM work when they are past certain scale.
No they shouldn't. I have no obligation towards Jews. I may help people because I like them. If they don't clear my likeability bar they should raise complaint with the Gestapo.
And no one in Europe aside from Ukrainians and Russians is real asylum seeker.
