I honestly just don't understand this idea that we need to "connect to a homeland". Yeah, it's cool that you can trace your family's history to different places, but I feel no more "connection" to Germany than I do to Papua New Guinea. It's completely alien to me.

And I certainly don't feel "part of a European people" who, fun fact: Historically have never felt that they were part of a "people" with other Europeans either. This idea just looks like pathetic nostalgia for a "people" & socio political landscape that never existed.

I honestly can't tell how much of this is about people wanting to "reclaim" that phantom nostalgic ideal & how much of it is a Pan-Euroism that is being used as a deliberate catalyst to enact a gambit for domination over (((other people)))pic.twitter.com/Lc0KMd9wiB

I feel a pretty much equal connection to Wales and England as Australia but I'm only one generation removed so the cultural connection is still pretty strong.

Ah, okay that makes sense. I'm 3rd or 4th generation. My Great Grandparents were the first ones to come to the States. So maybe it's just a matter of time?
