"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" what happened america? how do all the nationalist, racist pieces of poo poo forget that the mascot of the Land Of The Free is Lady Liberty, the Mother of Exiles just tear the bitch down already and send her back to France. let em know the liberty, equality, brotherhood thing is way played out now

Pawn 17 posted:France gave us the statue of liberty as a troll. id actually believe this is the literal truth, since at the time, france had already revolted into a democratic republic that quickly succumbed to a despotic empire twice in like 80 years france knew that americas time was coming lol e: they were on their "third republic" in 80 years lmao. When will America form the second republic? They've had a pretty long run on the first so far

The US government rejected France's gift and Joseph Pulitzer, the father of yellow journalism, started a campaign to raise the money to have it erected. There's your history lesson.

america paid lip service to the idea of a new world of equal opportunity but never actually liked immigrants even as the statue was being delivered dudes were complaining about the goddamn Irish and Italians and loving polish just like they complain about the Mexicans and Muslims today and 200 years from now they'll be complaining about the those beep boop robot fucks from Proxima Centauri and the goddamn genetically engineered Mormon horse men
