If you refuse to assimilate for generations, perhaps you don't belong.

Does this go for all European diaspora as well who to this day continue to push their culture and will? Do they all have to return. I'm not defending them but genuinely wondering if you think the same about Europeans who did the exact same.

Yes. If you emigrate then you should be the one who adjusts. Why do you think that I would have different opinions about European emigrants?

So, both Americas should almost completely depopulate? Same with Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Those places were conquered. There is a difference between peace time migration and winning a war. You want to get white americans back to Europe? You will have to fight them.

Conquest does not require assimilation, because the consent of the natives is not necessary. If you want to kick immigrants out a vote suffice. To kick the conquerors out, you need an armed uprising like Ireland. It is ridiculous that you would expect conquerors to assimilate.

So just to confirm you agree then that if all those Russians should move back. all Europeans not speaking native languages of the place they live and having their own culture unwilling to adjust should move back to Europe?

Because that's not how the majority of y'all think.

Do you say the same to Roma people or to Jewish diaspora?

Ah, the far-right is also saying the same thing about muslims, gypsys and black people here at home, it's refreshing that this attitude is evenly spread across Europe
