Trump 2025 - Resuming The National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity (Part 1)

The internet would also have you believe every other person is LGBTQIA+

If Muslims were leaving in droves, there would be measurable trends, declining Muslim populations, vocal apostasy movements, renouncing of certain Islamic (insert whatever). None of that is happening.

If ex-Muslims have to hide their apostasy out of fear, how does that help assimilation or acceptance of the culture, values, and beliefs of the countries they are immigrating to? It only reinforces Islam’s resistance to integration while proving that the “religion of peace” isn’t so peaceful for those who leave.

1747

So how do you know they abandoned the religion?

Then why make up numbers?

How many? 10? 20? 100? There are almost 2 billion Muslims in the world.

You mean, have internet access?

This is also known as pulling something out of your ass.

1748

Is that not true? I’ve always just assumed everyone to whom I reply is LGBTQIA+.

1749

Shoot, ‘cause I was just born here. Does this mean I don’t count?

Let’s analyze the sentence that twojarslave made.

An American is a citizen of the nation THAT WAS established through winning The Battle for North America with guns, germs and steel.

1751

You do know that jshaving’s people were on the losing side? And they were explicitly prevented from birthright citizenship after losing.

1752

I was not sure. Is it known whether jshaving is a United States citizen?

1753

According to the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, he doesn’t have a choice about it however, it was that act and not by winning a war (which in fact, his people lost). And if we look at that quote a little more closely, this nation was not established by winning a war with guns, germs and steel. It was established by a declaration to England and then defended in a war against England.

I was joking around with him. I was pretty sure his comment was a reference to a book title.

I’d say that makes you a fortunate survivor of all of the crap your ancestors put up with, just like the rest of us. Polacks have benefitted greatly from adopting a system of writing and other departures from our traditional ways.

It is a book that gives an interesting perspective but has quite a few holes, like most books. It certainly does a good job of explaining away your ancestors’ inability to drive their invaders back into the sea.

1756

We didn’t really go past the Mississippi River by the time whitey showed up. The people who could’ve driven them back into the sea were too busy getting sick and dying en masse. Pretty lame way to go out. My ancestors at least had Little Bighorn to feel good about.

1757

That’s the way she goes sometimes. The Mongols had our number. So did the Germans and the Soviets. Aside from a few moments in the sun, a lot of people had the Poles’ number over the centuries.

Fortunately, the family escaped Poland and settled in the greater Chicago area about 100 years after it was claimed from savages.

1758

It is the culture of America. A fish does not see water as exceptional until he finds himself in the open air.

1759

So how do you know they abandoned the religion?

Because they proclaim it anonymously on the Internet.

Then why make up numbers?

I did not provide numbers, like I said before.

This is also known as pulling something out of your ass.

No, it’s known as making an observation. Ask pollsters about the art of pulling things out of one’s rear end.

1760

That didn’t answer the question.

1761

Who is they, if they are anonymous?

If you’re unsure what American culture is, try traveling and noticing all of the American things you will see around the entire world. Movies, music, books, TV shows, clothing, etc. We’re the most influential culture in modern history and certainly the most exported.

I’d start with Japan, where my aunt had a lucrative side-hustle in the 1980’s and 1990’s smuggling suitcases full of Levi jeans back every time she’d come home to visit. Pieces of American culture were and still are highly prized.

Back to important matters, Trump is already making a difference in Maine. My #1 hope for his administration was to shut down the flow of people to my town, and just like that, he has.

The article gives some insight into how the people of Maine have been emotionally blackmailed into this enormous grift. This was especially true in the earlier stages, before they needed to start rolling out LONG lines of non-citizens to vote in our elections with the aid of translators to remain in local power.

“These people have no place to go back”.

Really? It’s Lewiston, Maine or a ruined life for these people?

“In Maine, we have three resettlement agencies that are going through the same thing that we are going through. So if you have any contact with any of them, support whatever. You can donate your time, donate money, whatever you can do. And I think that will help us meet our moral obligation to support these families.”

I would love to know if Mr. Osman thinks there’s a point at which the people of Lewiston, Maine have fulfilled their moral obligation. Would it be fulfilled when English speakers become a minority at LPS? We were only a couple years away from that, if trends of the last several were to continue.

Something tells me there was never any limit on it and the entire operation was going to continue for as long as it could be propped up.

Is the culture in Texas the same as California? Is NYC the same as Mayberry? Culture is more than movies or music, it’s also values. It’s a way of thinking and how you see the world.

But we all know there is culture, and subculture. North Germany and South Germany, for example, are both Germany but have distinct differences.

The argument that the USA doesn’t have a culture is just silly and the fact that subcultures exist within our broader culture doesn’t in any way negate the existence of that culture.

We can pair with the definition of culture easily, and export our culture, without immigrating to do so.

The only people I’ve encountered who legitimately try to suggest there is no such thing as American culture are either immigrants who hold higher loyalty to wherever they’re from, or social change asshats who believe being incorrect will end American culture.

Don’t forget people who hold disdain for American culture, often hailing from European countries that would have been completely screwed without American culture.

There were a lot of reasons why Hitler declared war on the USA, but his disdain for our culture and especially our embrace of capitalism was something he wrote and spoke about extensively.

He thought us weak, decadent and lacking the fortitude for war.

Prior to that, American culture sent the Soviets an astonishing amount of material goods before we even entered the war. 2,500 locomotive engines is no small contribution. Nor is…

  • 400,000 jeeps & trucks
  • 14,000 airplanes
  • 8,000 tractors
  • 13,000 tanks
  • 1.5 million blankets
  • 15 million pairs of army boots
  • 107,000 tons of cotton
  • 2.7 million tons of petrol products
  • 4.5 million tons of food

The next time someone wants to scoff at our cultural output of abundant material resources that actually function well by shitting on McDonald’s, they should think about all of the McDonad’s equivalents that won WWII, like the Sherman tank concept, Liberty Ships, the Jeep, escort carriers, the M1 Garand, the list goes on.

The 2024 election was perhaps an even bigger social and cultural clash than it was a political clash. Nobody should really be too shocked that a radical counterculture lost.
