AOC chief of staff
Based on a recent clothing choice, Chakrabarti might justifiably be considered a Nazi sympathizer. But really? Well, yes. In his latest love-fest video for AOC, Chakrabarti is sporting a tee-shirt that features a portrait of Subhas Chandra Bose. Not familiar with this former Indian head of state? Here a few facts:
Bose was an ally of Adolf Hitler and met with him personally in 1942.
Bose founded the Free India Legion (FIL) made up of troops captured by Nazi Field Marshal Rommel’s Afrika Korps.
The FIL swore an oath to Hitler and was under SS command.
Bose teamed up with the Japanese in 1943.
Bose was an admirer of the USSR and sought to implement its authoritarian practices in India.

I appreciate your well thought out argument. And I'll be honest, I don't disagree with a lot of your points.
Demography and statistics don't lie. I live in the Swamp. On a daily basis I interact with Black, Mexican, Central American, Africans from every country; Afghans; Indians....you name it, we got it. Certain cultures excel - primarily Asian and North African (non-Somali). The blacks do their best to keep themselves down. The Latinos are low-to-lower middle working class. Muslims generally do well in this area (only 1 lower-middle Muslim concentration, though it housed 3 of the 9/11 hijackers).
All of these other nationalities outpace whites in live birth rates. Based on current growth trends, parts of Europe will be majority non-white by 2050. I am in favor of stopping that similar trend in the US because it won't be far behind at the current pace. Build the wall and stop letting eveyrone in this country.
It's going to take a generation to reverse the damage.

I live in LA, so I understand. As long as you can get that people like me aren't communists, and you obviously do now, I leave this conversation happy, even if we have disagreements. Good luck, goat!
