@samkn3n Please can every council in this country take notes 😭😭

@nvOver_ @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen This is so extremely known you don’t need ethnic origins in a land to be a national. You’re beginning to confuse me now.
English
@Nick50101 @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen I dont know if asking ai for the millionth time to confirm your misconstrued definition will change reality, but hey maybe give it another go!
English
@nvOver_ @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen I don’t know if maybe Jesus can come down and explain this to you. The women above for example is most definitely Swiss by nationality like what’s the problem here??? And I know that hence why the person in the hypothetical was born in china to Chinese citizens.
English
@Nick50101 @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen Yes, and im sure if you googled plenty of things surrounding gender, the war in ukraine, zionism etc. you would get your confirmation bias. It doesnt make it true. You are not of nationality by citizenship alone. Thats what the word 'citizen' is for.
English
@Nick50101 @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen Again, no it isnt. Holding chinese citizenship doesnt make you chinese by nationality. You can be ethnically french without being french by nationality. Nationality = nation + citizenship. Ethnicity = nation. Easy. you can do it!
English
@nvOver_ @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen That’s ethnic heritage. You’re getting so many things mixed up right now. Legally absolutely anyone can be anything. You could Chinese or something if you were born there to citizens or something. That’s your nationality.
English
@Nick50101 @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen Falseeeee, having citizenship doesnt make you a part of the nation. For all nationality it is blood and soil. This is not politics. There are no black or brown Europeans because those nations are white by nationality, race and ethnicity.
English
@nvOver_ @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen If you have citizenship to a nation you’re their national. If you’re born and raised in a country that’s clearly your nationality. For some countries it’s blood and soil and others it’s his soil.
English
@Nick50101 @Morningstar2l @thekonyjen Nationality is blood and soil. They aren’t correct on either account.
English
@lxmaiifr And an update on this but Oman did abstain in the vote against slavery. It’s clear that they know they’re next after they’re done with Europe 😂
English
@Nick50101 entirely against it, there's no reason on earth for any of us to pay for the actions of our ancestors
have you heard of the british west africa squadron btw?
also arabs had africans for slaves too, should they pay reparations?
English
doesn't matter, africans didn't invent the things to make europe what it is today nor did they build up these nations or create the culture that shapes our european nations
some of my ancestors were slaves who worked in a sugar plantation, how did that aid europe be what it is?
ALLIGATOR TEARS@Nick50101
@lxmaiifr @thekonyjen @wolfybear3 And Africa involuntarily helped make Europe to be where it is today. So someone can come here and make that argument that by your logic all Africans can claim European in some way.
English
@lxmaiifr It does look like alot of countries are getting back up again (eg Ghana or Rwanda or Botswana) but it’s far too slow and not enough. With their crazy birth rates they genuinely have such a good opportunity in the 21st century. Even I’m bored of seeing that place always poor 😅😅
English
@Nick50101 black populations are behind due to hording of wealth by the african elite, unlike in the west where wealth is generally far more spread out
colonial powers really set up africa to be great imo but africans ruined it for themselves, key example is rhodesia
English
@lxmaiifr Given how success reparations were for the Jewish population after ww2, I totally believe reparations for colonies should have been something that was considered.
English
@Nick50101 nah, i truly think africa and the indian-ish nations need to sort themselves out, europe endured plagues, numerous wars and such but still managed to run the world
post colonial nations will only succeed if they're willing to do so on their own rather than sucking up to the west
English
@lxmaiifr 1. Whether we like it or not those problems spread 2. A lot of black populations are still systematically behind due to lack of generation wealth largely thanks to colonialism. So again Britain did kinda cause this mess but they’ve had time to fix it.
English
@Nick50101 so why can't they fix their aids/hiv problem by their own? why must britain swoop in and aid them when we've already sent africa millions
the africans wanted independence, they got it and so now should be independent, no?
English
@lxmaiifr I do agree that people overly blame the west for Africa's problem when at this point it’s self inflicted to a large extent (that’s what happens when you give deranged communists power) but a reparations scheme that’s carefully done can actually help that too.
English
@Nick50101 yea well when you take a look at the horrible actions committed by black people in south africa and rhodesia just for 2 examples, you realise that they created the situations their nations are in whereas their colonial masters wanted the best for these nations
English
@lxmaiifr Yes. We would have to be careful as to how this money is getting distributed. It would be awful if we did this and then the presidents son suddenly has a new Lamborghini or something 😂😂
English
@Nick50101 also i find reparations silly as they're used by post colonial governments to live lavishly whilst their citizens live in dirt poor conditions, reparations aren't given out equally, that's just one reason why reparations are dumb asf
English
@lxmaiifr Southern Africa as an aids/HIV problem. They could request Britain helps them with that as reparations. Or Angola for example can ask Portugal to build up their infrastructure it’s only fair. And all countries must abide by human rights laws and become western allies.
English
@Nick50101 elaborate, why do you support reparations?
which countries need regime change?
wdym by structural?
English
@lxmaiifr Like universities or the government in Latvia could see things differently to institutions in France or the UK who seem to update and think about things like that more.
English
@lxmaiifr Out of curiosity did you say you were part black? Are you for or against slavery reparations?
English
@Nick50101 fairs, this has been quite drawn out but i don't see where being british comes into play, the isles are objectively european in every measure besides being continental
