our culture is collapsing too
I love latin cities but how many of us really wanted to live in Mexico City or Guadalajara forever.
Bogota or Caracas and so on.
Exact same thing happening here in places.
Just as the Aztlan claim is "not unreasonable"?
My apologies. Too quick on the trigger...
Welcome to Brazil, USA. All you can do is move to a walled enclave or the country with lots of guns and dogs.
What do you think would happen to Christians who tried a similar stunt in Turkey in the Hagia Sophia former cathedral?
Would they make it out alive, with their heads attached?
They’d have a better chance in Turkey than in most other Muslim countries, but I wouldn’t recommend they try it.
FWIW, I believe Hagia Sophia has been a secularized museum for more than 80 years. It is not presently a mosque or a church.
The Aztlan claim actually is unreasonable. If anybody has a prior claim to the American SW, it's the descendants of the Indians who were living here for many centuries, not those who base their claim on a grant by the Spanish King. (What gives him the right to control the land?)
The Mexican government held loose and largely theoretical claim over the area for at most 25 years, 1821 to 1846. I think it is entirely unreasonable to claim that this 25 year claim should have greater weight than 175+ years of effective American rule.
ping for later
Sorry Rummyfan, I meant to ping myself.
