given enough time, and acceptance by the government

they would

oh fuck, you're right

Exile all dissidents

my bad

sure, you might be born here, but you don't truly love our nation

Hell, I'm a natural born, pasty, white American, I don't really identify as American. I accept I was born here, I feel no loyalty towards America

You like to say a lot of bullshit without giving anyone time to explain, so instead you just argue what you perceive to be their position for them and then have an argument with yourself

I'm loyal to my ideals

also

Should you continue, I will simply not respond

Why should people be loyal to nations?

I'm pointing out how your argument makes no sense when taken to its logical conslusion

Unless you're just arguing that xenophobia is a good thing

Except you haven't, you introduce a new point and then argue against my perceived response, and when I respond, you're already halfway through arguing with yourself, so now I have to repeat that again, rinse and repeat

Seems like my characterization of you was ironically correct

Go ahead and answer why one should be loyal to nations, then

I'll wait.

but I don't really see how

You view the world in black and white where there can only be your position or a different one

Bad wording ^

on my part

*There can only be your position or an "evil" one

That's not true at all

See, what you said

It clearly is

implied that a nation should only consist of those who "identify" with it

False

false

\

many domestic citizens don't "identify" with said nation

false

false

false

True.

false

false

false

okay

I didn't say that

What did you intend to imply, then?
