[struth]

How can you approve of colonialism yet disapprove of invasion? Of course one cannot do so without embracing hypocrisy.

Be honest for once - colonialism is what we call an invasion carried out by "us" and invasion is what we call colonialism carried out by "them".

I suggested already that you change your name from "struth" to "slies".

 

[TNHarley]

Pretty sure you don't even know what that word means.

Says the dumb ass that doesnt know what "native" means

I never claimed not to support or support either of them.

But we don't have any colonies. We were colonies at one point, but fought for our freedom and gained our independence

Same place everyone else came from--how far do you want to go back or do you have a magical starting point. Critical thinking, try it sometime.

Literally everyone or their ancestors came to the Americas. Denying that is the height of stupid.

That’s your own misapprehension.

It's kind of hard to "misapprehend" when your own sister and brothers express those thoughts in plain English multiple times.

We are a nation of Americans. We took in people from all over the world. We insisted on a shared language and a shared history. We insisted that they bring no loyalty to any other country.
We don't do that anymore.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt by referring to misapprehension. You’re obviously corrupt.

Historically the U.S. was made up of (legal) immigrants. It would be unfair and inaccurate to characterize the U.S. today to be a "Nation of immigrants".

 

[sartre play]

Oh boy, this one has set off the left, who love to whine and cry about racism and how America “stole” land from the Natives.

Well, here is Matt Walsh’s defense of that statement:

We did the same thing, gave land grants for thousands & thousands of acres of land.
And why bring this up? The actions of those new to the country & those who already lived here?

 

[sartre play]

You are wrong.
We are a nation that has taken in a lot of immigrants, but even today only 14% of the population is foreign born. The remaining 86% of us are native to the U.S.
How many generations of your family have to be born here before you’re no longer tied to your ancestors’ Old World homelands?

It might sound virtuous to claim we are all immigrants but it's just not true, and hasn't been for a long time.

Yes people die. And I WOULD NOT BE HERE if some one long before I was, or my parents or even my great grand parents
Had not come to AMERICA. So really your interest is in Newer arrivals, So why not just say that?

Corrupt in that I don't buy into so many official narratives?
