Alright, so lets start off with the premise. In reaction to a video about the Irish correctly protesting a 'migrant hotel', you said: >Same things are happening all over US, and you are full of guns. It's about balls, not guns. And I think you are 80% correct, Americans should be protesting all immigration more, but, you are missing a lot of context, because you are not American, and do not understand American attitudes about such things. As a matter of fact, I think you would be surprised to find out that a lot of Americans are, from a cultural standpoint, far more upset about uncontrolled European immigration than they are uncontrolled American immigration. The thing is, those Irish people protesting, assuming their grandparents are also Irish, probably have DNA that dates back to Ireland from the Neolithic Era. Most people from the British Isles today, assuming they are white and their great-grandparents were also from the British Isles, have a substantial amount of DNA from the Picts, Britons, and Gaels, despite it having later been polluted by the invading Romans, and after that, the Germanic Angles and Saxons, and the vile French Normans. My point is, those Irish protesters, they are truly home, they think they are home, and they, correctly, feel the need to protect their homeland from changing into something else. They are connected, deeply, to their ancestors and history. A lot of them probably had ancestors from nearby going back to the stone age. Contrast that with me, a proud and poetic American. I am very American. My family history, from what we have traced, dates back to relatively early European settlers in the 1700's in many cases. I know, from both genealogy and retarded DNA tests my Boomer parents took, most of my ancestors are Scottish, German, and English. Before ethnography and demography got woke, my specific Ameri-mutt ethnicity was actually just called 'American'. Regardless, I am as American as they come. But, if you have noticed my posting over the years, I am also from Philadelphia. Am I as Philadelphian as they come? Absolutely not. My Mother was born in Kentucky, my Father was born in Boston. I have Great-Grandparents who settled in remote parts of Wisconsin and Michigan. There are people in my neighborhood who are two generations separated from Italy or Ireland. I am much more American than they are, but I am less Philadelphian than they are. America is a big fucking country, almost bigger than Europe, but people move back and forth, because we have had Freedom of Movement for the past ~250 years. That means demographics, particularly of major cities, are always changing, and while people complain, they don't give a shit as much as they would if it was a European City. Dublin is a wonderful city, and I don't want it to lose it's Irish character. But what character does Philadelphia lose when it changes it's demography? It was originally a Swedish colony, than a British Quaker Colony, than the Birthplace of America, then the Italians and Irish came, then the blacks, then the hipsters, then the Mexicans. I Love my City to Death, but, it will always be changing. It upsets me far more when a classic European City changes for the worse because it is being filled with Africans and 'Jeets.
