Whether or not an ethnostate is good depends on the ethnicity of the people of the ethnostate.

(/s, it is POV of a racist)

    not disagreeing but want to point out by that definition America is an ethnostate. Which again I’m not disagreeing with.

              it started inthe 70’s and passed all the ratification hurdles in 2020; that’s how long people have been trying to push for it and proves how little things change within the american system.

              in typical democrat fashion, biden made much ado about ratifying it, but without supporting it against the technical hangups so that it would die on its own and doing so paved the way for project 2025.

                i doubt it would have made it past the republican owned Congress that Biden experienced during his tenure. has very little to do with lack of Democrat support. this just smells like anti-Democrat whataboutism to me.

                  democrats had majority control of the house, senate and presidency in 2020; there was nothing stopping them from pushing this through.

                    looking at the history it looks like in 2020 democrats were trying to push this through but via a state ratification process. keep in mind dems only had congress for two years and there were other things they were trying to get done such as ACA. reading through the history though it seems everytime it is put forward or progress is made toward it, it is being pushed forward by democrats. what are you bitching about now? that biden didnt dictator it in like Trump does? why do types like you only ever bitch about dems and not repubs? how much is putin paying you? or is he just holding your family in front of a window?

        It’s because he’s attempting to utilize the fact that America was and potentially still is an ethno-state to lessen the culpability of the Israeli ethno-state.

        While modern America uses systemic racism to establish an ethnic hierarchy, unlike Israel it doesn’t expressly by law prohibit the movement or upward mobility of different ethnicities. Even if it did, that fact would not lessen the culpability of another state doing the same.

        Context and nuance is important.

          I thought they were just agreeing on the fact that the USA is also an ethno-state that was founded on genocide.
