The American civil war was about states rights (states right to white supremacy)
Our new government['s]...foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
States rights people hate it when pointing out slavery was enshrined in the state constitutions as a requirement for being part of the confederacy.
Or when showing the south was pushing the north to ignore their states rights by forcing them to only follow southern slavery laws
Even dumb and murderous racists have gone downhill in the US, lol. These ones at least seem literate!

Gosh why do people hate the Jews so much. 🫤
The problem with ethno-states is that it makes it super easy for people like yourself to conflate ethnicity with nationality.
People don't hate the Jews, people hate ethno-states who are currently committing a genocide. Many of these people who hate the state of Israel for their genocide are Jews themselves.
As contrary as it might seem, pointing out that Israel is a Jewish ethnostate is not antisemitic because that is what it is.
That doesn't mean all Jews are on board with it.
Similar to the white ethnostate above it not meaning all white people are on board with it.
this is rather dumb considering Israel is more ethnically diverse than any of it's neighbors
73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews, including about 503,000 living outside the self-defined borders of the State of Israel in the West Bank 21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers "Arab")[2] An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as "others". This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[2][1]
considering Israel is more ethnically diverse
Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse...... Still an ethno-state.
Ethno-states aren't defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.
not disagreeing but want to point out by that definition America is an ethnostate. Which again I'm not disagreeing with.
For the vast majority of its history absolutely. It wasn't until the civil rights movement where that was even somewhat debatable.
by that definition America is an ethnostate.

what do you think white Republicans and project 2025 are doing hunty?
as well as most of the democrats and their refusal to enact the equal rights amendment.
are you talking about something in the 70s? how is that relevant to today?
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?
the democrats kept control of the house for the entirety of biden's tenure as president while they had control of the senate for half of it and the aca fell apart anyways despite the democrats having a majority .... again.
no one expects the republicans to follow through on welfare programs, so it's silly to hold them to account on it on something like the equal rights amendment; the democrats do claim to care and that's why we expect progress from them.

why would anyone complain about something they're not expecting?
I don't know why you're getting down voted. It's just a historical fact.
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.
They were, but when evaluated against their original claim its pretty apparent they were doing it to establish a whataboutism.
Ethnically diverse? Motherfucker, they're all kinds of WHITE EUROPEANS. It occupies Palestine with that in mind, using religion to hide behind it and justify it.
The other 30 percent were either kidnapped children from various operations (with the help of the West) that grew up to be dogs of the Euroanglo-zionazis and become Zionazis themselves or straight up opportunist compradors from all around the world. Oh and to top it off, they sterilize them no matter how much they try to be a good dog, because they're not white enough.
That's not diversity, that's a settler-colonial ethnostate playing population control, trying to get just enough brown to justify their occupation to the public, but not too much to maintain Pan-Europa whiteness.
In a 2012 ruling by the Supreme Court on the issue, some of the judges on the panel discussed demography, and were inclined to accept that demography is a legitimate consideration in devising family reunification policies that violate the right to family life.
Those in favor of the law say the law not only limits the possibility of the entrance of terrorists into Israel, but, as Ze'ev Boim asserts, allows Israel "to maintain the state's democratic nature, but also its Jewish nature" (i. e., its Jewish demographic majority).
The whites need the others to do all the hard work. Can't have a fascist settler colonial project without exploiting the natives. The ones that haven't been murdered in the genocide yet, of course.
They need comprador tokens for PR brownie points to convince the libs of the diversity lie too
And everybody has the same rights there? Or are some higher than others???
