@AntonioDeLoeraB@sharghzadeh This attitude also lead to the normalization of things that elsewhere would be condemned like rooting for foreign teams or flying the flags of foreign countries. I can't imagine the reaction of the locals in Zacatecas my back home if US retirees started flying US flags.
@AntonioDeLoeraB@sharghzadeh The US has been so warped by mass immigration that we take little care of the country we are currently in because too many are always thinking of back home allowing this country to be dismissed as some transitory stage in life and not a real country.
@AntonioDeLoeraB@sharghzadeh Yes but there is a difference between doing genealogical research to find your back home and actually planning to move "back home" or sending hundreds of dollars a month "back home" in remittances.
@AntonioDeLoeraB@sharghzadeh Everyone in America doesn't have a back home. For many it was the last stop centuries ago with no return ticket. Always thinking of back home is a particularly Latino idea allowing us to rep other countries we aren't even citizens of & denigrating the USA as a dirty transit stop.
@hpmcd1 The US has kidnapped a foreign leader, assassinated another, bombed 7 different countries, is actively blockading another country, and is waging a war that it started for reasons it still cannot fully explain. There is one rogue state making the world unsafe.
@BullyCreative@plattMSP Can't wait until the anti-Frey coalition finally takes power. A homeless encampment on every corner, a drug den at every light rail stop, all street retail abandoned, permanent rent moratorium, social workers responding to carjackings, perpetual solidarity declarations with Hamas
@conor64@walterkirn He's like the retarded right-wing version of Joyce Carol Oates. Except he's not funny, witty, or lucid. Oh wait and he's never written a good book.
@emeriticus The split is between those who thought MAGA had a core set of principles (no foreign wars, zero immigration, anti-woke) and Trump himself who says MAGA is whatever he says it is at that particular moment. Trump is pro-war right now so MAGA has to be pro-war.
@DanPickz2 Learner Tien might save us. But yeah Paul, Tiafoe, Korda, Fritz, Opelka just get goofy anytime they have to think about something for more than a nano second.
@rupasubramanya@ZohranKMamdani This is common among non-white radical leftists born in the US - they cling to the national origins of their parents or even more ridiculously their grandparents because they believe it makes them more unique and more empowered to lecture others.
Americans overwhelmingly oppose war with Iran, but the owners of the largest social media apps, all the major cable news channels, the biggest super PAC donors to both parties demand war and lockstep loyalty to the Israeli gov and its foreign policy. This isn’t sustainable.
