Nostalgia is different for all of us.

Never, for a single minute of its existence did America have a common culture... ever.

Also, ask most Scots (with one T) and Irish if they consider themselves to be the same culture as the English.

So... this isn't about culture. It's about skin colour. What a surprise.

@carnage4life I think it's less that he's bringing it to America, but that he came to America because it already had something similar and is holding more tightly onto that history than South Africa.

@carnage4life elon musk belongs in prison with trump.

@Remittancegirl @carnage4life He's just so wrong at all levels.

@carnage4life Well, #ElonMusk is a fucking #Nazi , so no surprise there #Truth

@carnage4life @Remittancegirl one day all of this is going to be evidence

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@geonz so, so wrong. @carnage4life

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@zeank It better be. Because it's the only way it stops making the world shit. @carnage4life

@carnage4life
So #TheElongatedMuskrat thinks you can't be patriotic if the rest of the country doesn't share your ethnic background?

I know of about 16 million American WWII vets who might take issue with that moronic #racist assumption.

@carnage4life "if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go to far, go together", so by extension if we want to go infinitely far, we need everyone.

@Remittancegirl @carnage4life and Musk's culture is at least partly Afrikaans = Dutch.

@carnage4life

Elon Musk is so ignorant, it burns. He thinks no one "dies to defend a 'multicultural economic zone.'" He's using a description of the EU, when what he means is that no one dies for a multicultural America.

LOL. Has he no idea how culturally fragmented "America" was during its Revolution or its Civil War. During WWI, Alabamans and Minnesotans had nothing in common, except their country. During WWII, heavily immigrant Americans fought side-by-side in WWII against Fascists.

@Remittancegirl @carnage4life after you pose the question, run like hell

[mkoek@mastodon.nl]

@nxskok @Remittancegirl @carnage4life So is America’s. I read an interesting book recently about the influence New York (New Amsterdam) has had on broader American culture. Saying that that is “English-Scottish-Irish” is pretty wide of the mark. How about French (Louisiana), Spanish, African influences?

@carnage4life Something that needs to be kept in mind when talking about the guy is that never mind all his defenders he actually is an insufferably moron.
