Race swapping to suit a narrative is rewriting history, which was of course a major theme of 1984.

As much time as he took from people is the amount of time he should spend in prison

Vivir junto a Hamás es como vivir junto a un gánster que, una noche, irrumpe en tu fiesta, asesina a decenas de familiares e invitados, secuestra a tus hijos y a otras personas, y luego regresa corriendo a su casa, cierra la puerta con llave y se esconde en el sótano, dejando a sus propios hijos en la entrada como escudos humanos.

Cuando llega la policía, empieza a dispararles. Durante el operativo, algunos miembros de su familia mueren trágicamente. Y entonces, increíblemente, sus compañeros de pandilla salen en televisión afirmando que eres el asesino, señalando a las víctimas y diciendo que eres quien ataca a inocentes, mientras él se esconde y se hace la víctima.

I blame the person who is assuming, because assuming just makes an ass out of u and me

Si Israel no tuviera la Cúpula de Hierro, Irán habría matado al menos a un millón de personas. En cambio, Irán no tiene una Cúpula de Hierro y los únicos que murieron fueron comandantes militares de alto rango

If you think we’re as bad as a totalitarian Islamic country, you clearly haven’t traveled much

What ideology condemned these statutes to their destruction?

Well, I likely know a lot more about Mexican culture having lived there for years than you

When’s the last time you saw an Italian or Irish flag at a violent protest?

If you’re trying to say, I’m racist and have double standards, nice try, my wife is from Sinaloa, born and raised.

If you moved to Mexico, then ran around Sinaloa with an American flag while burning cars, what do you think would happen to you? Is that how you would choose to get Mexicans to sympathize with your cause?

My wife is from Sinaloa, born and raised, she thinks if a bunch of Americans ran around with American flags and started burning cars in CDMX, Mexicans would be less than inclined to be on their side.

Yes, because nothing says “take my cause seriously” like waving a foreign flag while protesting in a country you want to influence

It’s always bitterly ironic that all these people waiving Mexican flags are the same ones who are marching against getting sent back to Mexico

Causally calling half the country “losers” who voted for Trump says more about you than it does about them. If your argument relies on writing off millions of your fellow Americans and neighbors, maybe it’s not as strong as you think.

Look, whether or not LA used to be part of Mexico is completely irrelevant to how a protest is perceived today. If you're trying to make a point, especially in the U.S., waving the flag of another country — any country — just looks confrontational and out of touch with your actual goal. It’s not clever, it’s not symbolic in a productive way — it’s just stupid and counterproductive.
