Yeah, I mean, and again, just to be clear here that this is a New York Times columnist, like, it's just, you do kind of. It's one more example. It's like, it reminds me of the dynamic with the Zionists when the people are like supporting Israel's destruction of Gaza and then they try to be outraged by whoever, Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens, and you're like, dude, you don't have the moral authority to do this anymore. It's like once you do this, it's like, oh, so you're, you're not just like a ra. You're a vicious racist. I don't know what else can we say. It's the same exact thing. If anybody else, if unprompted. I just started talking about anything group of people and we're saying their food sucks, their culture sucks, their women like us more than you. You're like, you'd immediately be like, oh, I know what we're dealing with here. You're a like archaic bigot of some sort. Like, okay, but that's who's working at the New York Times. So where do you get off telling anyone else that they can't be that? And by the way, I'm not saying you should become that because he's. This guy's a idiot. But the thing like, I guess so. So he says there, there's a couple things like he says there that again, I think there is, there is some truth to his point that he goes, look, the problem was letting us in to begin with, like, okay, there's a reasonable point to be made there, right? Because no question, like, it becomes a lot harder once you've had all of this, like, mass migration to, like, what are you going to do at that point? But he. And he correctly pins it back to 1965. Now, in 1965, there was an immigration bill that overhauled the way immigration was done in America. And even in, like, you know, like, like when. When progressives will often say, as a retort to, like, the border restrictionism of, of the Trump movement or something like that, you know, it's been quite often for the last 10 years. How many times, Rob, have you heard a liberal say, we're a nation of immigrants? You know, like, that's the foundation of our, our immigration. In fact, JD Vance has had a great line about that in a CNN interview when he said, yeah, just because we're a nation made up of immigrants doesn't mean that 200 years later we have to have the dumbest immigration policy imaginable. It's a good line, but if you actually care to look into any of the details of this, like, it's not completely true that, like, there is truth to it. And certainly it is true that, like most people, you know, like, that. That was their story. Like most people, you know, if you ask them about their family history, the story wasn't like, you know, we came over on the Mayflower or something like that. You know what I mean? Like, most of them were immigrants at least a few generations ago. But during the big waves of immigration in the late 1800s and in the early 1900s, there were big. There were massive waves of immigration, and then there were periods of, of big immigration restriction and assimilation. Before 1965, from the founding of our country, the it. Where. And there was at a period at the very beginning of the country, I think, essentially open borders. But to the degree that there was any immigration control for most of American history, the early part, it explicitly gave preferential treatment to white Christian Europeans that people didn't have any problem being racialist in the. In. In those days, you know, and the idea, however you feel about it, not saying you have to support this or not, but the idea was that kind of, that's what keeps America having its American characteristic, that we are Europeans who came over from Europe for more freedom to escape tyranny in Europe, and that then we assimilate into this American culture, and that's how you keep this thing. Now, in 1965, okay, they, they passed this Bill, which totally changed the racial and cultural demographics of the country, but they swore up and down that it wouldn't. Okay, that was the way they sold the bill was like, it's not going to change the racial demographics in the country at all. Because think about it, right, Rob, this is one year after the Civil Rights act got signed into law. It got signed in 64, this was in 65. This is one year after segregation ended. Like, in large parts of this country. It was accepted one year earlier that there's an area where black people can live and then there's an area where white people can live. There's, there's a store that's for black people only, and there's a store that's for white people only. And the next year, do you think America would have voted to, like, to. To think about, like, how much racial tension there already was and how much bigotry there already was in the country? You think anyone would have voted? Like, yeah, let's. Let's add into the mix tens of millions of other racial demographics. So in other words, in response to this guy's point here, you would, you know, for all these people who claim to love democracy so much, you would have to admit that, like, the American people never made that decision, right? That was forced on them from the ruling political elite onto the American people, who. Everybody knows, if you had had a referendum on this in 1965, 66, 67, 68, 69, all the way up till today, the bill would have failed. There's no chance that the American. Even today, dude, even today in our multiracial, multicultural society, even immigrants don't support it. Even immigrants don't want a wide open border, you know, and so there's. Even illegal immigrants don't want it. You know, like, even. Even they don't want it. They got in, but they don't want everybody else to get in, too. That kind of defeats the whole purpose. And so essentially what you have here is this guy unintentionally, you know, from the left, making the argument for mass deportations in a sense, because I think what we've all kind of recognized is that, like, look, we're, we're. Look, I'm a little bit squeamish about mass deportations. I'm not afraid to admit that, like, I believe in liberty and I don't like the government, and I don't want the government doing anything to people. And then there's a whole bunch of people who, like, even the ones who came in illegally, a lot of them aren't bad people or anything like that. And it's kind of, that's kind of tough to deal with like federal cops grabbing a mom and their kids and kicking them out of the country. You know, but the thing is that we're caught between Iraq and a hard place here. We're caught. You know, it's like either you have to accept the fact that our government just did this to the people and that they have absolutely no recourse, that you have no right to protect the, anything about your country, that you just have to accept that you're the, the racial demographics, the cultural demographics, the norms that you grew up with. Like everything is, is taken from you. You know, you have to accept that Ireland is going to become Pakistan or you got to deport a whole bunch of people. Like those are the options. And from my perspective, neither of them seem like great options. But like when you hear a guy making the argument just like this, Rob, doesn't it push you in the direction of just like, huh? Okay, very good point, New York Times columnist. Thanks for being honest. You all have to go like it, it just kind of like it pushes you in that direction. That. Okay, between these two bad options, how about I pick the one where this fucking smug prick doesn't get to win?
