You could at the very least learn some fucking history, dude. Your ancestors didn't move to an undeveloped land. Your ancestors invaded a land that had been carefully cultivated for millennia and forced out the descendants of the people who made that land livable.
Like, whatever, ignorance is why you're a bigot in the first place. I just am constantly surprised by the utter lack of curiosity among conservatives that leads to dumbshit opinions like this.
What leads a non-conservative to join a group of conservatives? You have the rest of the fediverse to hate on us. Why are you here?
If this meme is an example of conservatism to you, then you genuinely need to learn more about your own nation and consider whether the values you claim to have are worth having.
And I didn't join anything. This dogshit had the gall to show up in the Hot sorting view.
I know plenty about my own country, thank you. I know we spent over a century fighting off savages who brutally murdered us and abducted and raped our women and children. I know that we never would have attempted to settle "their" land if they had already settled it with civilized infrastructure like buildings, bridges, and improved roads. Their roads were more similar to animal trails than European roadways.
It wasn't until recently that we stopped calling them savages and started feeling sorry for them. A lot of people want to whitewash history, but the truth is we rescued this land from savages, and historical documents make no bones about it.
What makes the meme conservative is that it combats the stereotypical leftist viewpoint that all immigrants equally valid as the Pilgrims and pioneers. The natives had no law libraries which Pilgrims and pioneers might access to verify the legitimacy of their claims. By contrast, illegal immigrants invade a developed country with plenty of established infrastructure and enforceable laws.
As for stumbling on this in the Hot sorting view, hahahahaha, sorry.
What a dismissive comment. I'm not xenophobic. If you have a book to recommend then recommend it.
