America deserves to be nuked, this is my breaking point, it's irredeemable.
The whole “I’m 22% Scottish and 45% Italian” types of American make more sense the more I learn about the history of eugenics and its popularity in the US.
I remember speaking to an American sociologist, and they told me that there's a really interesting line of literature exploring the somewhat uniquely American fixation with "heritage", and its origin in settler colonialism.
One day Americans will learn culture doesn't run in your veins, and the people in general will understand that DNA inherently spreads through and across populations over time.
Given how long Scotland has been inhabited, it's quite substantially likely that every person on Earth has DNA from native Scots. So there you go, everyone on Earth is now "authentically Scottish".
There are a lot of factors, but after about 10,000 years, you are likely either an ancestor of all humans alive, or none.
the yes true Scotsman fallacy
"I'm not Scottish" "YEAH YOU ARE"
"Hope this helps in the future when you try to gatekeep culture"
He says, as he gatekeeps culture. Fascinating specimen.
I remember watching two Americans try to eat a Scottish breakfast in Edinburgh. Stupid fucks just pushed the food around their plate and looked bemused. One of them put a tiny amount of brown sauce on their fork and touched it to the tip of their tongue to taste it before making a gagging sound as though they'd been made to taste raw sewage. I honestly wanted to hit them in the head with a brick
I had to look up what a Scottish breakfast is but now I'm confused ass to why an american wouldn't readily shovel that down their gullet, like I could see not being into the black pudding, but everything else sounds delicious.
scottish breakfast is when no burger
Americans have no culture, so they must steal it from people distantly related to them.
Sadly, it's
type yeonmi-park](https://chapo.chat/pictrs/image/c88ba9eb-c207-4282-91e0-a9e403dcf715.png "emoji yeonmi-park")
with 
Hahaha, I'm booming right now, and can't figure it out. Tried a couple of combos.
I left that up there so you guys can point out what's off. 😞 I wish we had those emojis on our list in the Grad.
omg why is your yeonmi so much bigger (no surgery jokes please)
EDIT: this is a test
on communist hexbear, the link to yeonmi's image will get overridden if you replace the "emoji yoenmi-park" text with "emoji bugs-stalin" for instance
It's like a Yeonmi matryoshka doll that says harsher truths as she gets smaller.
huh
try removing the bit in quotes, so it ends at the .png
Hahaha, we did it, that was it. Thanks a lot, Wheaties. I'll have to familiarize myself with the rest of the emojis.
good luck there's a fuck ton of them and I can never remember the name a given one is filed under
Pretty sure the image macros are a hexbear feature
nah, we switched from the old :word-here: format to ![ ] () specifically becase other instances can see and use 'em.
This is what happens when "cultural hegemon of the world" brain collides with "23andme obsession to fill the immutable void of whiteness" brain
I love that the 23andme crowd seem to miss the part where you don't really share much DNA with anyone older than your grandparents.
Can’t let reality get in the way of some neat phrenology
I've recently gotten into genealogy mostly as a way to cope with a lot of loss in my family over the last couple of years. It's fun, but I don't really feel like I'm related to the people I'm researching. It's neat to uncover the stories that led to me sitting in my car before work typing this. There are some real weirdos in the hobby. I'm sure that's true of just about any hobby though. I also recently joined a metal detecting forum and apparently it's the hobby of MAGA types
Metal detecting is a MAGA-coded hobby...? Whyyyy thoooough.....?
I really don't know why. My guess is it's a Venn diagram of older dudes who are retired and civil war buffs.
I'm also interested in the civil war and that's a chuddy hobby. I'm interested from a leftist political perspective. There's still a decent handful of lost causers in the forums. I once saw an online slap fight where two guys were trying to one up each other by naming increasingly bloody battles in which the other team got owned as some sort of gotcha.
just replace the percentages past a point with "angloid mongrel"
People will say this and them complain that there arent good tacos in Scotland and “no spicy food”.
Try growing black pepper, cilantro or nutmeg in the cold soggy stony highlands.
ah yes truly the torchbearers for the highland ways would make the name Ronald MacDonald, of the Clan MacDonald known by every man, woman and child as the Laird of Lairds.
he looks like every man, woman, and bairn I met in between Skye and Inverness.
Only nobles of the clan McDongle are allowed to wear the traditional red-on-white tartar pattern with the gilded vest
Doxxing Rangers fans is against the rules.
This is the problem with heritage BS. If you are not from said region, you are not that region's ethnicity, because you are not apart of that region's culture. It's that fuckin simple.
If you're from Scottish ancestry, but born and raised in New York, you're a fucking New-Yorker. At best, you are a Scottish-American New-Yorker. Your kids will just be New Yorkers, though.
You’re absolutely correct and this is something Native Americans bring up all the time to Americans who claim to be Native because of dubious “Cherokee ancestry.”
I'm also from North Kilt Town! Do you know Angus Macleod?
Wait a second, there's no Angus Macleod in North Kilt Town!
Why you're not Scottish at all!
Ach! Don't be daft! I was born and raise- hey, what the? My retirement grease! 
You have to read this in the 
voice
This does support my argument that Italian Americans are the true Italians tho
Maron, get the load of bolls on this guy!
