  1. Hype for the Future 257/284: Notable Communities in the United States

    Overview Each state in the modern United States of America contains special and unique circumstances that make the respective state(s) stand out from other states, including neighbors and beyond. Modern states can be culturally related to one another, especially with westward expansion and migration, though the bulk of the early American history is associated with the British Thirteen Colonies. Portions elsewhere in the United States have been associated prior to European settlement with […]

  6. stead of piggy backing off other folks' posts (and pissing everybody off) i guess i should just try to articulate cold

    on hanson and all the attention she's getting, folks reevaluating, pegging her for potential prime minister etc

    think it fair to ask how much of trumpism's about trump? folks look at the mess and the pattern they see is the party and the base, the democrats in disarray, and figure it's about trump, his personal appeal (as distinct from his 'agenda') and figure on his having a kind of messianic charisma

    nothing new in this (re flyover country ect) but as with hanson i reckon it fair to lay it square at the feet of the failings of our norms and institutions in so far as what we've been promised (how we've been given to understand the substance of those norms and institutions) and what they've delivered in the round

  11. Almost 17% of this year’s US Olympic athletes have immigrant ties - either born abroad, the children of immigrant parents, or second generation immigrants

  13. This is a very good reason to absolutely despise the anti-immigration ("legal"/"illegal") discourse. It's crap and it doesn't conform with the way cultures have actually evolve over the years.

    "I don’t think rubbing into the faces of old white folks like Kelly and those older than her (basically: Donald Trump’s base) that the future of America will look totally different than what they grew up in is a very savvy move. That’s just kicking someone while they’re down.

    The alternative I would suggest is just to draw skeptics into accepting diversity by pointing out that it has a lot of benefits. I mean, go and watch Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show. I don’t speak Spanish, and yet I have to admit that it was a banger.

    I play guitar myself, and that means that I owe my own small musical talents to a diverse etymology. I’m playing a Spanish-Moorish instrument and picking up songs from a wide range of cultures.

    The tunes I’ve learned come from cultures far removed from my own, and yet I don’t feel like I appreciate them any less. They include:

    - Aberdeen, a folk song written by Avi Kaplan, a Jewish American of Ukrainian and Russian family background.

    - Last of My Kind, a country song written and performed in part by Shaboozey, an artist whose parents are from Nigeria. (Here’s a joke I made on TikTok after learning it.)

    - A whole lot of stuff by First Aid Kit, an indie band that hails from Sweden.

    Something you have to remember about human languages is that they’re just an attempt at getting across what we believe and what we feel. Music is another way to do so. And it transcends barriers like parochial languages, national borders, and political beliefs.

    Music is the ultimate American melting pot, and this is a country more than big enough for both Bad Bunny and Kid Rock."

  17. Hype for the Future 50Q: Greater Appalachian Scots-Irish

    Overall, the Scots-Irish settlement of British Colonial America, overwhelmingly between 1717 and 1775, has largely been determined by numerous overlapping forces that had ultimately resulted in the migration of significant numbers of Scots-Irish to British Colonial America, and a significant majority of the settlers were originally associated with Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding area. However, unlike the German settlers to the Lancaster area, including Amish and Mennonite […]

  18. For #Trump, the nation is less a #MeltingPot where #different #cultures combine harmoniously than a #crucible where foreign notions are burned off & a #homogeneous mix emerges.

    “America has always welcomed those who embrace our values, assimilate into our society, & pledge allegiance to our country,” he writes. “By taking this oath, you have forged a sacred bond with our Nation, her traditions, her history, her culture, & her values.”

  22. "Je suis 100% français et 100% arménien. Je suis comme le café au lait, indissociable entre le lait et le café"
    #CharlesAznavour

    Siamo tutti come il caffelatte, per fortuna o per dono di Dio.
    E il processo del caffelatte è irreversibile, che vi piaccia o meno. Se volete, potete zuccherarlo, aggiungergli del miele o del fiele, oppure non berlo. Ma il caffelatte resta tale, e fiero di esserlo

  32. Ich finde es seltsam, dass #Migration immer als Bedrohung dargestellt wird und gleichzeitig Europa als Erben der Griechen, Römer, Wikinger, Sachsen und anderer gesehen wird.

    In der Schule hab ich noch was über den #meltingPot USA gelernt. Und die waren sehr erfolgreich dabei.
    Warum machen wir also nicht auch mal einen #MeltingPotEU?
