      2/ I'm going to back up and ask WHY should we even WANT to help the poor? The poor today are richer than kings in other eras. They have housing, food, entertainment, phones.pic.twitter.com/Cd7hJwRfQN

      4/ "we are hurting the poor by not letting them come here" @st_rev has a good rule of thumb for evaluating claims of oppression: if the "bad" group went away, would that end the oppression ?

      5/ e.g. if factory owners are oppressing the laborers, what happens if we shoot CEO & demolish the factory? does this end the oppression and make the laborers better off?

      6/ similarly, how are the global poor oppressed by American wealth and [ still somewhat in evidence ] rule of law? our existence is bad? very well, let's wipe American from the map. Remove North America and everyone on it. or, lacking sufficient tech to do that, ...

      7/ perform the thought experiment where the US ceases to interact w the rest of the world at all. Giant force field around the US, nothing goes in or out. Are third world poor freed from their oppression ? Of course not, bc there never was any oppression.

      8/ yes, that is the argument that Caplan is making ... and I point at it and call it 'tarded.https://twitter.com/ANiculitcheff/status/1504084801137094660 …

      Presumably the harm is being done by the US gov preventing them from entering the US, not by the existence of the US. If the US gov went away probably more people would move to the US and become less oppressed.

      It might be argued that the existence of the US gov and its prevention of immigration is necessary for the existence and prosperity of the US, but you need to argue it. The "delete US, are people less oppressed?" thought experiment is not actually engaging with Caplan's believe.

      > I need to argue it no, I don't (tho I also believe that) I can argue a different thing - the thing I am arguing - that USG and US citizens not giving things away to others just bc they want them is not a form of oppression

          Yes, but you'd need to convince him that USG preventing immigration is "not giving things away" which is not obvious.
