America 101: Ben Sasse v. a Nazi




1/
Oh let goobers & nongoobers agree on this: Racists like you are to blame. But Putin's agencies also love using you as their divisive tool https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/913379619583221761

Don’t get me wrong: we’ll always have brown-shirt-pajama-boy Nazis like you & your lonely pals stoking division. But here’s America 101: https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913512382185525248

You don’t get America. You said: “You do not have some human right, some abstract thing given to you by God or something like that.” https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913512783513255936

Actually, that's exactly what America declares we do have: People are the image-bearers of God, created with dignity& inalienable rights. https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913513218777272322

Sadly, you don't understand human dignity. A person's skin, ancestry, and bank balance have nothing to do with their intrinsic value. https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913513873256435716

This declaration of universal dignity is what America is about. Madison called our Constitution "the greatest reflection on human nature" https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913514639899623424

You talk about culture but don't know squat about western heritage--which sees people not as tribes but as individuals of limitless worth https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913515647954436096

The celebration of universal dignity IS our culture, & it rejects your "white culture" crybaby politics. It rejects all identity politics https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913516108988256257

Sometime after moving back into your parents' basement, you knock-off Nazis fell in love with reheated 20th century will-to-power garbage https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913517191806509057

Your "ideas" aren't just hateful, un-American poison--they're also just so dang boring. The future doesn't belong to your stupid memes. https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/913518069800214528
