Some guy who spends too much time on X.

@WallStreetMav I personally know several wealthy retirement-age people who work these kind of jobs because they want to.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@moveincircles It stems from the radical beliefs about equality the left has embraced, according to which acknowledging any substantive difference between peoples is the equivalent of believing that one people is better than another.
Ergo the necessity of believing them interchangeable.

@RoyalEndeavour Because when you're woke "indigenous", like any other word, can mean anything you want it to mean.

@NoToMisogyny @MarkHiggie2 @heterodoxan Hopefully this is just a passing fad, but even if it's not, there is an enormous back catalog of accurate pre-2020 movies and tv - enough that you would never run out of titles to watch.

@MarkHiggie2 This altering of history for ideological reasons is extremely pernicious, and once it becomes established it won't be confined to just changing the ethnicity of historical populations.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@EdKrassen Lol. That's a stretch. If he was targeting journalists it would have been much easier to attack them almost anywhere else.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@Saint_JohnPerse @RenaudCamus Leaving is not the solution. Better to stay in our homelands and continue our way of life despite the pressure of official ideology. So long as we stay strong and resist despair we will survive, even if we become minorities in our own countries.

@shadihamid I agree. A person should be free to practice any religion or culture he likes. Coercive assimilation is wrong.

BUT - High immigration from very diverse cultures will likely destroy this freedom by making unstable societies that can only be held together with an iron fist.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@TommyBoyo91 @shadihamid @ChristianHeiens Simple answer - the great majority come for economic reasons, or because they are at odds with the current government in their country of origin. They aren't coming because they like our culture, they're coming in spite of it.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@shadihamid @ChristianHeiens Lol. Legally you're American as anyone else, yes, just as you would legally be Chinese if you had managed to obtain citizenship in China. But there are other senses of the word "American" many of which would not apply to unassimilated populations of recent immigrants.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@ChristianHeiens I agree with your opinion on immigration, but you're arguing past his post. Although somewhat ambiguous, his subject is assimilation, not immigration.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@PaulEmbery Because we're in one of those periods of history where the followers of the dominant ideology are so devout that they put the advancement of the ideology above all else.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@EdKrassen This sounds like what Trump told protestors on January 6.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@BuckSexton I don't want a pullback, I just want a higher bar for the use of force against protestors and responsible ICE leadership that doesn't make grossly inaccurate statement about events on the groud.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@bonchieredstate This is the kind of behavior that is going to saddle us with a democrat president next election. Noem needs to go.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@jonatanpallesen This is my opinion as well. Trump seems to enjoy maximizing drama and making a big show of force. He will be lucky if the whole thing doesn't blow up in his face.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@KiszelyPhilip Only time for one tonight. Perhaps "Gaslight" 1944 or "Stagefright" 1950.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@EdKrassen I rarely agree with you but this 💯.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@MrAndyNgo <sigh> These guys couldn't do more to promote the Left's agenda if they all joined antifa.

[Leaf Rider @TCarb99]

@EdKrassen @Gorilla_Blanco This is a more reasonable statement, but you also have to remember that we're living in a free society and people are free to marry as they please, unless you think the future lies in totalitarian oppression.
