Stupid comments from Magats for $10K, Alex.

I am so damn fed-up with feeling the need to face palm, fed-up with having my eyeballs roll…the level of ignorance south of my border is just amazing, in a very, very, bad way. Rhetorical question, I guess, but here we go; is there no education in the United States, I mean not just global history/geography but their own.

Those “settlers” who arrived at Plymouth Rock? They were, in fact, refugees, fleeing religious persecution, financial hardship and looking to find freedom. (Freedom and this particular arm of Puritanism is pretty much the definition of irony.)

The Irish who arrived in the great wave beginning in 1845? Fleeing hunger, economic hardship and religious persecution.

The Italians? Financial hardship, vis a vis, unemployment, overpopulation, and natural disasters.

Germans? Religious persecution, poverty, and restricted freedoms, except the Drumpf family – who were draft dodgers from way back.

The Polish, Ukrainian, Scottish, please refer to the above. They all came to North America for the same reason, freedom from oppression, to escape poverty and hardship – natural or politically inflicted.

Oh, did I mention, they were all white? Is that where the current calls to halt immigration, arrest and throw innocents into concentration camps? Deport them to, what is to most, foreign countries?

Most “Americans” faced prejudice but this current degradation of the country, these “Make America Great Again” idiots, gleefully ignore the ethnic slurs faced by their own ancestors; Mick, Limey, Wop, Polack, Bohunk..oh and then there is “bead rattler”, bible thumper…you get the gist.

The United States is, most definitely, NOT the “Land of the Free” hoped for by their founding fathers. It is the land of “Whatever ideology the oligarchs want to throw out as diversion”.

So no, the United States, Canada and Mexico are were not “settled” by Europeans. These countries were destinations for refugees, fleeing for their lives. For christ’s sake, get off Truth Social and read a goddam history book.
