It would be nearly impossible to get citizenship in the good countries of Europe anyway, seeing as what makes them good are strict immigration laws. I have a strong attachment to America (or at least the Mid-Atlantic) though. I doubt I'd ever leave here, and if I did it would probably be for Montana or something
I'm already a dual citizen
also that's pretty based that you could never leave
For context, some of my ancestors came here after Cromwell died. They were in Maryland for over a century before the US even existed.
See I kinda feel like my family is stealing America from people who like that who are actually rooted here
It's hard to be a blood and soil nationalist and also leave the land where your family lived and died for 360 years. I feel bad for the Afrikaners because their situation is so dire but SA really is their homeland now
@Jacob not at all. You being in IE alone is more than a lot of “rooted” Americans who are sitting on their butts
(of course, they’ve been taught that everything is fine, not their fault per se)
but don’t feel bad. The way I see it, the late 19th/early 20th century European immigrants came here while America was still being built and helped build it, so people from their countries are welcome too
almost all Europeans can say “someone from my country helped build America in some way”
ehh I disagree but I feel like I've posted about this so many times on this server that I should probably avoid the topic for a while
ok, I won’t pursue it
but just for perspective, my dad’s ancestors came here in the 1600s and my mom came here in the 1990s, so I really have both extremes in me lol
And believe at these rallies he isn’t boasting about record low African - Italian unemployment rates
@Jacob It's perfectly normal for immigrants and their kids to feel out of place and many did go home. At the same time, those who stayed built a connection to this land and their grandchildren became as much a part of the American people as anyone else (talking European immigrants obviously).
I think that, if you stay here and stay involved in IE, your grandchildren will see you as being someone who built (or maybe salvaged) America
good point. If we do this right, we’ll be the ones making history.
No matter what I'll do or where I'll go in life I plan to always support IE in some form
I've been here for almost 2 years so I've outlasted most people
@Jacob 2 year club supremacy!
same. I anticipate that my views will be found out at some point, and at that point I’m diving headfirst into supporting IE/the movement in general
@Nemets I imagine there are a fair number of people who get accepted, pay dues for a few months, don’t do anything, and get bored and leave
@Nemets It's crazy high but that shouldn't stop you from helping change that
@Goldstein Riots oh ya I remember you being here pretty far back
I'm hoping to be a bean counter for the org at least in the side when I graduate
Maybe now that's the case
We had really bad attrition after Charlottesville, Nathan's resignation, and the old server getting shut down
@Jacob I still miss #fashy_fashion.
I miss HBD autism
#survivalism
lmao I remember there was a guy who posted his 23&Me in purity results and he was like 40% non-European
Some people have left over disagreements as well and I think that’s why it’s important that we always strive to be respectful and cordial and nice to each other even when we disagree on certain topics. We can’t agree about everything 100% all the time, but when we do not agree we should still be respectful And not attack each other.
That's reasonable
I wonder what ever happened to that guy
@Jacob he became Elliot Rogers.
dlet
I miss Shawn.
wait who was Shawn?
Noob
Prince Hubris.
you would have loved it
