The biggest lie that American conservatives tell themselves is that America is an Idea.

We are a nation of ideas. Just not those ideas.
We are a nation based on the ideas of individual rights and liberty. We are based on the idea of equality before the law. We are based on the idea of the rule of law itself.
It sounds like you are arguing for ethno nationalism. That's some bullshit we don't need.
When leftists say "diversity is our strength", they twist it into the ridiculous notion that we're better off as long as we look different.
The true meaning of that statement is that we derive immense societal strength from allowing individuals to pursue their extremely diverse goals to the maximum extent possible while respecting the rights of others to do the same. In other words, we accept however others wish to spend their lives, so long as they agree to respect the basic rights of their neighbors.
This package of ideas is extremely powerful. It has produced so much wealth and power that it has come to dominate the world. And has elevated us all to live as kings compared to our ancestors.
That package of ideas is our culture. And yes, western culture developed in Europe. But among its most powerful tenets is that we accept outsiders, as long as they accept our rights. That is a huge part of what makes the culture so successful.
So, yes nationalism is good, in the sense that we must defend the ideas that made America the greatest nation the world has ever seen.
But ethno nationalism is a cancer that goes directly against the ethos of America and MAGA.
Whenever this gets brought up why do you fuckers immediately shoot to EthNoNATioNaLism and bend over forwards to spread your ass open for the left?We get it, you're not a racist. You're one of the good guys. Maybe they'll shoot you last. Fucking pathetic. I don't live in an idea. I live in a Nation. A nation being overrun with fucking south Americans and Chinese and Indians and Somalians and run by traitorous big business faggots who facilitate it to happen.
No one talked about race, no one is talking about ethnonationaism. It's so depressing to see people claiming MAGA and then denying America the right to even the land it sits on. Written off as a set of ideas. As if any group of people who can think of these ideas could make another America. Every day for the last 60 years it's been proven again and again they can't. They can't even follow them when they're blessed enough to be allowed here. Because they don't give a fuck. Because this isn't their home.
This isn't an issue of trying to virtue signal. I've been called racist enough times for simply making a rational argument that I really don't even hear it any more.
This is about keeping sight of what actually, historically produced the nation we love. Our culture was forged among competing and wearing peoples over thousands of years. You can bet they didn't consider themselves ethnically homogeneous, and that was the source of quite a bit of violence. For millennia.
The victory of the idea that we can all coexist peacefully and in great prosperity, even if we are Greeks, celts, Slavs, etc; that's exactly what allowed western culture to win.
So, calling this cancerous idea out has nothing to do with virtue signaling to people who might call me racist.
It's a warning:
If you don't understand how the nation came to exist and how it functions, don't yank out the damn engine.
The leftists are already trying really hard to destroy or culture, which would be a tragedy not only for our children, but for the entire world. It is important that we patriots understand what we are defending.
You're not helping.
....what are you talking about?
...There you go Back to race again... and now your vision of "America" and it's "ideas" are more than thousands of years old, now they're millennia old
Yes, and they're using people like you to do it.
