These reactionary fascist losers really do not understand what being an American is all about. American assimilation is so strong that the irony of someone named "Posobiec" (Polish, likely came early 20th c.) larping as some sort of old stock WASP is just totally lost on him.
Dude on the left appears to have a Cleveland Indians (not Guardians) hat and Chicago Blackhawks t-shirt on. Good for him. Also, as much as I want to visit the Black Hills and Badlands, fuck Mount Rushmore.
Yeah. Growing up I was like "Oh. A big statue. Ok." and then you learn the truth about it and it's really fucked up.
They made a lovely mountain into...that. I wish we'd gone to Reptile Gardens instead.
I'd love to be able to remove those four assholes from the six grandfathers.
Right, it’s not even about what you think of Washington or Jefferson or whatever. We already have monuments to them in DC, this was just desecrating a natural wonder.
*sloppily* desecrating a natural wonder. try to make a giant statue of washington, stop halfway through the jacket, chisel just the heads of the other three, leave behind all the chipped stone. It's the "natural wonder" equivalent of a sketch pad on an easel and being knee-deep in crumpled paper.
Phrasing it as ‘the American question’ is also just transparently a reference to ‘the Jewish question’.
How much do you want to bet that these fascist losers don't count any black people (whose ancestors were slaves brought in the 1600s/1700s) as "Grade A" Americans?
Proud Grade D American right here. My grandparents survived the Holocaust/GULAG and came in 1950 and 1951, respectively. Destination: USA!
Sicilians would ask you what you thought of the evil Romans and if you said you didn't like them a mob boss would come to your protection
Meanwhile, Native Americans are called that for a reason.
I would love to see him call a Sicilian and Italian to his face.
I asked a guy from Verona if Italy was one of those countries where two people from opposite ends would jump to each other's defense against any criticism or one of those countries where everyone thinks the people in the next village are barbarians. He laughed and said "definitely the second one"
I live in what remains of Little Portugal here in Montreal. I asked my neighbour about the guy up the street who has stared at me like a bug for 20+ years and my neighbour said "him? He's from the wrong village".
Verona famously will have people from two families FROM Verona hate on each other.
During the 14th century, Verona was ruled by a guy called Big Dog. This was his real name. He fought four wars against Padua, which is like a day away from Verona on horseback. He also fought three wars against Treviso, which is maybe two days away on horseback. Then he got assassinated.
Please, tho-- we're on Bsky not X. Use alt text; it's so easy.
To this day, I cannot wrap my head around the way these chuds think. People come here from all over the world to find opportunities for themselves and their families? Hell yeah, welcome aboard! The New Colossus had it right.
The irony of claiming you are more American and more proud of your ancestors because your ancestors were murdering thieves🥸 But the truth is they are ashamed that’s why they all claim to be Cherokee 😒they know.
