Without mentioning how stupid it is for americans to ramble about protecting the natives (of Europe) considering what they did to theirs
That's all part and parcel of the same thing, ~~kill~~ murder the uncivilised natives and then erect cities named after ancient Greek and Roman places to show off your civilised status.
Edit: you know what, part of the lemmy migration is being able to say things as they are and rereading this comment there is something that don't sit quite right, so let me just cross this out and write something else: there. All fixed.
There are ways to "civilise" (AKA cultural assimilation/imposition) that don't imply murdering the natives. In fact, that's what the "civilised societies" of the Greeks and the Romans did.
That's basically the reason why demographics in the old world have barely changed apart from small percentages of DNA, but the Anglos had to be different while LARPing as the Romans
Sure there are ways to do it without massive bloodshed and I would hope that's the way that everyone decides to do it in the coming years as large populations from the global south are forced to migrate to the new temperate zones.
But the white wing in the US are in their endgame now. They were able to nobble democracy in their favour in the most grotesque ways while they were a majority and very soon they are not going to be and so, in a farcical echo of the 1860s, it seems their plan is to secede by making states with a higher degree of common sense kick them out of the federation by making ever more deranged legislation.
What...?
