Seems to me that they immigrated to another country because of a specific type of cultural phenomenon that was happening in their country of origin resulting from immigration. Maybe the same type of phenomenon is not happening in their country of choice? Doesn't seem sarcastic at all.

When Germans elect a Chancellor who doesn't make sure that Germany meet their NATO commitments are they being disrespectful to their allies? I understand that the comment may come off a bit incendiary, but I'm genuinely asking.

Why do you think his "musings" are wrong? Seems like something very obvious to me, but I'm a complete lay person in this regard.

Do these folks on the left feel the same way about marching with anti-semites? I didn't hear much about that on the left.

This could set a really perverse incentive for people to start monetising their followers.
