Oct 14, 2026, 12:04 PMHow strange it is when nations of immigrants become nations that hate immigrants.

Oct 14, 2026, 12:09 PM@dgar Nearly all nations are nations of immigrants.
Vandals, Goths, Franks, Kelts, Normans, Huguenots, Irish, German, Polish, Italian, wave after wave and they’re many of us.

Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSCLordCaramac@discordian.socialOct 14, 2026, 4:47 PM@js @dgar The native population of Africa is the only population on this planet not consisting of immigrants. We evolved in Africa; everywhere else on this planet, humans had to migrate there first. In many cases, it happened in multiple waves of migrations, with Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Peking Men, spreading all over Europe and Asia before the first wave of Homo sapiens arrived, and then getting absorbed into H.sapiens through hybridisation. Afterwards, already existing H.sapiens local populations often went extinct through plague and famine and got replaced by the next wave of migrants from elsewhere, for thousands of years.

@avatastic
I think I know which one you’re referring to… 🤦 
killickkillickOct 14, 2026, 5:54 PMThey didn't wait to start a new country before they started the religious persecution, either. Look at the history of the colony of Rhode Island-- founded by a guy fleeing from religious persecution in the Massachusetts colony.
filobusfilobus@sociale.networkOct 14, 2026, 12:16 PM@dgar it's like they start despise their mothers and fathers
Some fought fascism and nazism, now they are their weird clone
They don't know who they are anymore, they think they are self made people, but there's really no true self made people

Nu Modularnumodular@c.imOct 14, 2026, 1:00 PM@dgar The overextended US #duopoly, created a massive vacuum of an 'excluded middle', where we all must dwell for most of our lives. Neglecting filling this root Behavioral Range for too long, collapses the extreme poles - like Republican vs Democrat - into virtual anarchy. It's worse with more power involved, like the US still controls.

You literally made me shake my head at this amazing conundrum again...sigh.
PeachMcDPeachMcD@union.placeOct 14, 2026, 3:23 PMIt's a product of expensive & coordinated messaging by #racist #oligarchs
Propaganda works when you've got #CorporateMedia pushing your Koolaid everywhere people look

bouriquetbouriquet@mastodon.socialOct 14, 2026, 4:19 PM@dgar It’s happened before in the US when bigots hated Chinese laborers, when they hated Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants and continued with Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Somali refugees.
There is a disease of racist bigotry in the US that is contagious.
It seems to be spread by lies from those in wealth and power who con workers into hating those who have less than they do, by telling them that the immigrants are coming to take their jobs and harm their families and even pets.

How strange it is when empires resent the existence of the people in their empire.
tuban_muzurutuban_muzuru@beige.partyOct 15, 2026, 3:33 AMIt's been this way as long as the USA has been the dumping ground for poor people. It's like school bullying, each generation enters, gets bullied - then become bullies in their turn.
