Come now, we've invaded far fewer of the world's countries than the UK.
The real hypocrisy is that every last fucking one of us comes from immigrants, and yet half of us are eager to pull up the ladder behind us.
Invaded fewer, yes. Destabilised for greed and oil, causing mass migration to European countries, that's a whole other story lol
Sorry, I was napping when they asked us if they should do that.
Except the natives who people just like to forget
we might be forgot but we never forget
its just that we want our ancestral land to be preserved and respected. Rare have I ever heard someone from the rez hate on refuges. Our anger is purely with the way we are treated by our own federal government and by corporations.
So if you need to leave your homeland because of reasons?
Let's continue what was started in 1492
LET THE REFUGES COME AND BE PROSPEROUS. JUST LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS.
The great turtle island is big enough to hold us all on her back. Boarders should never exist.
Borders*
Boarders can be cool people
If that's the only flaw in my English, I will call that a win!
Alright, every last one of us who isn't of 'pure blood' in the US comes from immigrants.
That would included those that you consider 'natives'.
Didn’t the natives immigrate from Asia?
Correct. Between 30,000 and 16,000 years ago, humans came to North America from Siberia..
At least as far as we know so far.
They found a footprint in San Diego, back in the late 90s that shows that people were here at least ~~120,000~~ 20,000 years ago or some shit.
Oldest found in North America is 23,000 years old.
A 120,000 year old footprint was found in Saudi Arabia, obviously that is the cradle of civilization, as far as we know.
Shit I conflated the two, thanks.
Yep. There's no 'natives'. Shits been getting invaded and conquered forever.
People have been dying from measles for forever. We know better now and can stop.
Well yeah but so long ago that I wouldn't really count that as immigration in modern sense. Since technically everyone is immigrant except the bery first humans that existed. And if you really want to stretch it far we all immigrated from the sea before we even were humans

You really Invalided their point right there 👍
Britain doing the heavy lifting on that 98% claim.
The Septics are a right bunch of slackers.
The British empire at its height covered 35.5 million sq km (13.7 million sq mi). Which is 24% of the Earth's total land. To compare the moon is 37.9 million sq km (14.6 million sq mi). Making the moon just ~7% larger than the British empire.
I reckon if we really go for it we could make up that 7%.
Add in the shipping lanes they controlled
I've never heard anyone from France bitch about immigrants. Or Norway. Or Germany. Or Italy. Or Thailand. Or.... this is just an idiotic take.
About 1.5mio. people in Germany were demonstrating in the last two weeks against a political party who among other things have deportation of immigrants on their agenda. They have a shockingly high amount of votes.
Anti immigration far right populist parties have become increasingly popular in almost every European country, often becoming the second largest party even.
Mcbain "that's the joke"
The NR went from 7 seats to 89 in the last French election. If you aren't hearing it then maybe you aren't listening.
Meanwhile Putin machine keeps throwing immigrants over Polish, Finland and Baltics borders.
As well as creating chaos in Africa via proxy military companies.
I don't think the hypocrisy is the worst part.
I think it's the raping.
I read that last part as Norm Macdonald and it made it a whole lot funnier.
I'm glad you got the reference!
It's not exactly the same people doing both of those things though.
Not to mention that our economies boom off the backs of cheap labor and exploitation abroad. Then we get shocked pikachu face when the lands we've raped and pillage become so inhospitable that refugees come pouring in to our countries.
Some British nationalists do adopt the rhetoric of indigenous peoples. It is wild
I fucking lost it during that David Lammy interview on LBC where that person tried to convince him that he could never truly be British because he's not from Anglo-Saxon heritage.
He dealt with it really well, but it opened my eyes to just how insane some people are in this country. We're literally a country that's invaded and been invaded for centuries, and our culture is a mix of the cultures of several nations.
Father and Son.
RAHHH MERICAAAAA🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Those seem like two different things though
Right? Immigration is so much worse!
For the people in USA and UK for sure
