If the “heritage American” idea sounds equal parts stupid and dangerous, you’ve understood it correctly. https://www.texasobserver.org/american-citizenship-and-other-myths/

Lies, Damned Lies, and American Citizenship

We shouldn’t ignore the protofascism brewing on the JD Vance-aligned right. But the status quo ante isn’t good enough either.

25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

By referring to anyone as an "illegal immigrant", we are already conceding a big piece of this fight to the other side. No one is illegal, and should never be referred to as such.

The proper response should be to defund DHS entirely, and move the essential, actually useful, services back under other departments where they were pre-9/11. Burn the rest to the ground.

Putting essential services under the same umbrella as fascist tools just makes the fascism essential (which, I know, was the original intent).
