@Trierarch81 @Jackaboi144 @ThaddeusPapist These seem to be exactly the same kind of guy, if not from the exact same friend group. Their lingo is indistinguishable.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@GraniRau Dunno if that take might be even more cynical than mine, which is that they maybe just tried to filter out anybody that wasn't subservient, undiscerning, or wilfully oblivious enough to not become a threat to their power.

@Thatspetarded @coal_christian2 You mean he will achieve another drop of about 25% points in Christian affiliation among the US population, like when it dropped from 90% in 1963 to 65% in 2023 (46% for 18yo-24yo), with the latter already including the great rise in, traditionally Catholic, Hispanic immigration?

@readthebooks22 @tracewoodgrains @kevinf567 The Chalcedonian Creed says that he is "truly god and truly man".

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@historenthusias @coal_christian2 @ChudThomist So you say that you couldn't be blissful in heaven if your loved one were in hell?

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@GraniRau I say that it's built entirely around the drive to humiliate others.
Literally everything these people say and do is built around that.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Jade_Geist @EmmeeeI @KILLTOPARTY Looks like you're more upset than I was when I wrote that. Or maybe you're just casually flinging around insults all the time, who knows.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@GraniRau Yeah. If you like someone so much that you wanna spend all your time together - get married.
Or else that person will at some point fade from your life, when obligations shift.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@GraniRau Oh, I remember that this was somehow pushed on women in the past - you can't date your friend, because of friendship allegedly being more important than a relationship.
Which really begs the question why you would choose not to marry the person you actually get along with well.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@WinterPragma And that is exactly the idea which alwaystrumpers like the one above adhere to and want to somehow smuggle into the circles of those who rather think of America as more than just an economic zone, to neutralise potential of an identity built on our shared ethnic heritage.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@WinterPragma On one side you have the concept of Americans as a mere idea, on the other side that of Americans as an ancestral heritage group. Each is the opposite of the other.
And obviously the idea of America as a "propositional nation" is the widely prevalent one, much to your chagrin.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Defiantly_Free @WinterPragma Aaand I'm blocked by this shill. Probably a dual citizen, trying to sow dissent.
If I understood her correctly, everyone immigrated before 1959 is a "Heritage American" to her. Yeah, right, lol.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Defiantly_Free @WinterPragma Lol, cute. So how exactly do you want her to refer to herself? Won't you answer? It's really not a hard to answer question, as I've already given you an example. It's also a good-faith question regarding the very core of this conversation.
Why won't you answer?

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Defiantly_Free @WinterPragma But anyway. I just want to know: How EXACTLY is she supposed to refer to herself? Just gimme the details.
Is "Slavic guest with US citizenship by birth" the correct phrase? If not, what is?

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Defiantly_Free @WinterPragma IIRC your beloved president is of German and Scottish descent, or something like that.
By your very definition he can just "call himself a guest" just as Lana, whose parents apparently legally came to the US as refugees, making her a citizen by birth, unlike your beloved Melania.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@WinterPragma She never claimed to be your kin. She - as you can see yourself - has specifically made clear that is is NOT of Celto-Germanic heritage, but of Slavic heritage.

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Defiantly_Free @WinterPragma I'll just ask one of the 90 million US citizens of self-identifiedly English or German descent what a "Real American" is then, thank you. 😇

[Peter Pauper @PauperPeter]

@Defiantly_Free @WinterPragma If she were actually of both Slavic and Cherokee descent, then obviously not. If she had Cherokee citizenship, then obviously not.
She is of Slavic descent and US citizenship. Same as your beloved Melania, by the way.
So again, what exactly do you expect her to call herself?
