    Fucking fascists. We should still be accepting immigrants through Ellis Island (in my humble opinion)

      No! Don’t be humble about that, that’s just simply how this country was founded… and I don’t mean the exploiters, I mean the countless immigrants who form the working class since then. That is more than something to take pride in.

      I had a little “debate” where it was being argued the US was never a melting pot, and if it was ever, it isn’t anymore. How defeatist is that? To let the undeniable presence of so many cultures wither just as these ethnonationalists intend… You have to be bold, else you lose what you once had, or worse, never achieve anything greater.
