I have the feeling that this is simplifying something.

I do agree that if someone would come to my country on a visa for studing, I don't think its okay for them to protest stuff. It feels disrespectful even if i'm aligned with that persons politics.

On the other hand, i expect us all to have a acertain amount of personal freedom on our planet and protesting itself is part of this, same as free speech.

In this context of the USA: USA is a country grifted by us europeans. It has land, resources etc. Just because USA now fully formed, somehow I do have the feeling that I should be allowed to also become a USA citizien (not for the social system, USA is fucked) but for the reason of also benefiting from that land (great nature, lots of space, etc.).



gifted by europeans? i think you may be overlooking the native americans. this is a settler colonial country


grifted in sense of Usurped; Stolen
