A brief thread on this exchange.

It largely goes hand in hand with this observation from @fullautoslur

The person I was interacting with seems to be largely right wing, but even she has fallen into this trap. Observing that America is a conquered nation is not any strange sexual fantasy, it's to note the current state of affairs and warn people to act accordingly.

The removal of Philip Schuyler was never put to a vote of the city of Albany, it was just done by the wine mom acting as the city's caretaker.

I have a different perspective on this having lived in colonized territory of NYC Metro my entire life and the point is made over and over in, for instance, Game of Thrones. The peasants don't care about who's sitting in the big chair. They care about their day to day lives.

The schoolboys in Les Miserables thought the commoners would rise to their aid for a new tomorrow. They didn't. And the schoolboys all died.

They might care when the king's guard comes to seize their animals and kill their families, but by then it's too late.

The people in America can go about their day to day lives without ever really noticing who's in the big chair. It's small, incremental changes that you don't notice until it's too late.

"You can just not be gay," is a fine observation. It ignores that it is everywhere now. It is the primary export of the United States. Nobody voted for it. It just is.

When my kids go to the search function on Disney+, the first suggested item is "Pride Month." It has a rainbow on it. It is bright in colorful to attract the attention of children. When they go to Target, they were asked to see "Satan Respects Pronouns" items.

"You shouldn't have Disney+"

Thanks for you input.

All American movies must include lesbianism or a gay character, irrespective of the fact that most non-urban move through their entire lives meeting only a few gay people, until recently when it became "cool" to be gay.

When I was a kid, it was "cool" to be black, which led to a bunch of suburban white kids wearing Raiders gear and red do rags. They looked ridiculous. This is actually not any different. Kids do what they're programmed to do.

Americans don't care who's in the big chair until they have to. I posted this as half a joke last night but it isn't really a joke.

If they have the infrastructure to take the land of white people and give it to the Indigenous, they will absolutely do that. It sounds absurd, but it isn't.

20 years ago they seized the land of a woman and gave it to a different private entity because "public use" was defined as "public good."

If you believe it would take any more than five members of the High Druid Council to say "actually it's in the public good to restore the land of the Indigenous whom the land was taken from originally" I don't know what to tell you.

Americans can act as though they aren't living under a hostile regime. They can act like that right up to the point where the Sheriffs come to take their stuff.

"America" is a conquered nation. "Americans" are not conquered. The people who control our government can non-ironically say that "Americans" are the biggest threat to "America" because it's true.

And I am not joking when I say that LGBT Pride programming is the primary export of America. It is not even debatable. It has displaced racial animus, which is the number two export.

All this is to say that accurately saying the government has been taken over by an entity hostile to the American people is nothing but a true observation. They have told you in every single way they could.

They've removed your monuments. They've controlled your speech. They have infected your schools. They have ruined your entertainment. They have now replaced the flag on the seat of the government. They have to tell you.

Take due notice thereof and govern yourself accordingly.

PS: As I say this, several meeting requests are dumped into my inbox for company sponsored Pride events.

If I speak out against those in public, I will be fired by my company and shunned from my industry.

If that does not fit your definition of conquered, what, exactly, does?
