    I’m not sure whether the version of this I saw previously was the original and this post was cropped, or if this post is the original and the other text was added later. But I much prefer the context here:

      Ahh see this I can get behind, reminds me of the Soviet anti alcohol poster that’s become a meme too

      Good original intent, less good modern applications

      The dawn of nationalism was definitely the mistake of the previous age I think. Peoples should be able to self govern autonomously, but not under a guise of “the nation” which inherently forms an out group to be excluded.

      I like the Arabic/American way to do it, “You wanna be one of us? Well then you’re already half way there!”

      I speak very little Arabic but my teacher has told me that I already know enough to get the long list cousin’s welcome among most L1 speakers lol.
