It’s true English is a distinct ethnicity, but being English isn’t just about that, it’s about #love for the #nation and it’s #people, it’s about #culture, it’s about what you have in
That's like saying, sure being a woman involves distinct chromosomes, but it's not just about that. Exact same thing, with the exact same flaws in the argument, and similar consequences of destruction of reality.
If English is a distinct ethnicity...this guy isn't that. He can be cool, he can be based, he can reside in England (I'm not saying kick 'em all out or anything...just most of them), but he's not English.
And, as you say, if you accept the original premise, you just end up right back where you are. Oh, well if this based person is English, but nonwhite, of course other nonwhite people are English, and can be shipped in with no consequences.
I get what he's trying to do, but England isn't a Civic Nation. It's not a Propositional Nation. It simply isn't. The United States is, and that means it's a whole different ballgame in the US, but you can't just import American presumptions into European societies.
Ireland is not a civic nation. England is not a civic nation. Scotland is not a civic nation.
Great Britain / United Kingdom is a civic nation... because it's an imperial project that is currently ruling over England with an iron fist.
Yup, this is a trap, intentional or otherwise.
It's funny too, since he also says
