Aren't we a nation founded on accepting people other countries don't want, or at least people who don't want to be where they live?

Hey, hey, hey, everyone just calm down, Ok? Let's all keep it civil here.
The moment someone thinks "I'm a victim," they set themselves up with a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure and victimisation. They start to think the world owes them something, and would rather complain about how damnably unfair everything is than actually try to achieve success. The same is true for neo-conservatives, radical feminists and militarised minority groups. It's the people who realise the world, and indeed the universe as a whole, doesn't give two shits about their existence, and who are willing to stop complaining and actually work for what they need and want, who have the best chance. Even then there are no guarantees.The type of feminist bullshit espoused on the Internet and at university campuses these days, actually serves to empower the groups opposing them. People don't see or care for the ideals anyone fights for. They only look at how people behave, and that's pretty fucking scary, because neo-nazis sometimes have a properly peaceful demonstration.
Also Seroim, first off I'm an American born and bred. I haven't so much as stepped foot outside of the States. You don't have to defend me and my innocent wittle most powewful empire in human histowy.
Too many times to count I've regurgitated the exact same talking points as you have to feminists. I couldn't care less in hearing them shouted back to me.
90% of the MRAs I've known in my life have outted themselves as crypto-right wingers
I have always been of the opinion that if an apology, clarification or, generally, an attempt at de-escalation is being made mocking another person somewhat undermines the point.

Well, your name might be Mariam now, but you'll never stop being a firebrand eh?
