The DIGNITY Act 2025 - American Strip Mall Edition

Just the low end version of Trump offering citizenship to people who pay five million dollars or whatever it is.

 

For one to be concerned with protecting America’s culture, one would have to start with the notion the United States has some homogenous culture to be protected. It never has. At best the U.S. has some regional cultures, ironically because groups of immigrants originally flocked there (French Creole influence in Louisiana, Cubans in Miami, “little Italy” in a few big cities, Chinese in CA, Irish in Boston… etc).

The core United States culture always was that it was known as the land of opportunity. Ironically, what this person speaks out most vehemently against is America’s secret sauce for economic success….

 

Protecting "culture" has always meant keeping America white & protestant for this crowd. Its not like they give a shit about actual culture or support the arts or whatever.

 

At least cartels don’t have cash.

 

Your implication is that only the culture of the rich founders of a country matter. I guess the culture of people who helped build this country who didn't risk their fortunes somehow doesn't matter?

 

I'm for repatriating all illegals back to their home countries then figure out how many of them we really need... let some come back, after vetting them.

 

Way to prove wgb’s point to a T.

Predominantly Anglo-Protestant? The U.S. is 40% Protestant, and I’d assume that includes black Baptist’s, so it isn’t even 40% white Protestant.

There is a massive fatal flaw in this worldview of yours. There is no such thing as a singular “white culture”! If you think it exists, go ahead and define it. You call it “shared European identity” which is utter nonsense and completely laughable on its face. I implore you to brush up on a map of Europe, perhaps a world history book to familiarize yourself with the history of conflict and religious persecutions in Europe! Ironically, modern post WW2 Europe (and especially in this European Union one-market era) has all these same discussions about “preserving culture” - but for them that’s because the idea of crossing “state lines” freely is an entirely new thing.

That is not to suggest we don’t still have influences, but this is not the same as “culture”. Over time I think it’s mostly become something else entirely, and America has evolved its own culture (or some might say has become uncultured). Very few people still live the lives of their ancestors, perhaps an insular group like the Amish, Native Americans that live their own way, etc, Maybe some fisherman or farmers that have done it for generations, etc. That sort of connection.
