I see people saying Western Civilization is failing, Western Civilization is dead. But it looks like Western Civilization is alive and kicking, doing as it always does. As it did during the crusades, as they did in the times of Columbus, the Dutch Golden Age and the British Empire and the rest of colonial Europe and the US. #Invading, taking over, #robbing, #enslaving, #dehumanizing and #genocide are very much values of Western Civilization. #Israel #Gaza #Lebanon

#Trump has also incorrectly said that #Haitians in #Springfield are in the #US illegally, though local officials have rebutted that as well. The migrants were granted temporary protected status #TPS in the #UnitedStates after fleeing #violence at home.

The claims are the latest instances of Trump using #dehumanizing language when talking about people who immigrate to the US. They also mirror stereotypes some Americans have used against foreigners in the US for nearly 1½ centuries.

Continued thread

Throughout his current campaign, #Trump has exerted his influence on the #immigration policy debate on several fronts.He pressured congressional #Republicans to reject a bipartisan compromise to expand enforcement funding&powers, arguing that it would give the #Democrats a #political victory&that it was not restrictive enough.He has also escalated his use of #dehumanizing language to describe #migrants, accusing them of“poisoning the blood of our country”&…a source of imminent terrorist attacks.

Walmart is known for their low prices, destroying competition, & mistreating workers. Their greeters were popular, but in 2019 -the co eliminated them.
