The X discourse is a massive self report on behalf of the Elite Human Capital. You’re exactly right, it’s an endless parade of complaints about how they can’t loot the US for goodies anymore. My favorite argument was from one woman who suggested that colleges might lose income if they couldn’t apply.

Perhaps their spot can go to a more deserving US student with higher test scores, who was previously discriminated on by race-based admissions practices.

Great read

The justifications became over-the-top after awhile, especially around the time the WSJ article was published showing that almost 25% of Harvard MBA graduates were not finding work.

Stop wire transfers of cash to other countries or tax the hell out of it. We are being bled to death as country, BUT other country’s are become dependent on this cash flow so they are easy to control , we need to use this to our advantage, and I think Trump will.

You don't understand basic economics. The flow of cash to other countries cannot increase production there, because money is paper, not actual goods or capital. So when remittances are spent, they are spent on goods imported from other countries - such as the USA. And when they're not, those countries buy stuff from us. In an interconnected global economy, there is no such thing as extraction from voluntary exchange.

You lost me at “You don’t understand”

Ah your a globalist,

But there not spending it here where they live and would do the most good

You might want to check and see how must money Mexico takes in each year from us,

But vote for the Democratic Socialism and that what you will get, one world

One for the rich and one for the poor.

Actually I enjoyed the premise and the reference to NPC, I am afraid it is where we are headed in the long term future unless we can fix our eduction , get businesses to pay Americans American wages and fix our immigration system; greed may be too powerful

While I appreciate your premise, we already use NPC for "non-player characters" to mean the retarded robot Democrat partisans lmao, I feel a second acronym just muddles things

The parallel was too good to pass up for a one-off essay. Don't worry, I'm not trying to midwife it into the lexicon the way many are trying with "Woke Right."

you have made a good point, and it is incredible the extent to which they view this country as an economic zone or something. This is my home. The Pearces have been here for 175 years, which isn't that incredible long, but my mother's side has been here much longer, besides one great grandfather who immigrated from Ireland as a child.

This is my home as well. I can trace my ancestors lineage to the 1600s in Virginia before there was even a place called America. I do think about the hypothetical of another Great Depression a lot, and how that would play out w/regard to migration. Take away the social programs, the endless benefits and entitlements, and your really only left with the folks who truly love this place IMO.

Researching the 1930s and you find that many did leave the USA who didn’t have generational roots here. Moved back to their homelands. Sounds harsh, but another event like that would show better than any legislation or civic test who is invested here as an “American.”

in my defense the Pearces came from England, even if it was in 1850, so I get a pass due to place of origin

I haven't done extensive geneology, though I looked up my dad's mother's [Scottish] maiden name and it said they entered America around 1820. My father's maternal grandmother was a Childress, an English origin name which almost only occurs in America, so that must be quite old.

Aspects of my mothers line date to colonial times, though her direct male line also entered the country from Germany around 1820.

A nation most certainly must be more than just a mere economic zone. While I'm not American I most certainly do understand the desire for protectionism and the safeguarding of one's nations.

I love France, Canada and also Scotland and Japan, and wish them to undertake more actions to defend themselves. So far only France and Japan do this (though France has had less than stellar luck in some ways these past few years given the number of invaders there are here).

A nation is formed by a certain tribe of people, and is something that ought to comprise people of the same faith, language and art. In short blood, soil and culture matter more than aught else.

Grokstein: "The root word of "nation" is the Latin word "natio", which comes from "natus", meaning "born" or "birth." It originally referred to a group of people sharing a common origin, birth, or ancestry."
