Americans don't realise that the destruction of Germany in WWII was a destruction on themselves. Most Americans are of German descent and the German language was the most popular second language in almost every state and only fell out of favour because it was seen as "unpatriotic" during the war, I wonder (((who))) came up with that idea.

It was a long time before that this happened. The german language die-out was mostly during ww1. My family stopped speaking German during ww1 to avoid being lynched (even though my great great grandfather was in the damned war) and they also had to anglicize our surname to an abomination in order to not be discriminated against... though it didnt help, because my surname is still incredibly and unmistakably german, just spelled all fucked up.
Though, I will say, I have another great grandfather who was in the division totenkopf during the war. He ended up in america in the 50s, but never taught my grandmother a solitary lick of German because he didn't want himself or her to be targeted. So the discrimination was still *there*, but it was a lot less pronounced than during the first world War. Probably because germans had mostly stopped immigrating to America, and most german Americans were crypto germans who had little connection with anything german because of aforementioned reasons.
But germans, on the other hand, have always treated german Americans extremely warmly and they still do (provided you know what your talking about, and your surname is german, double points if you speak german). When I was in Germany, everyone loved to hear that my family was from there and I made several friends that I still talk to originally stemming from this alone. It felt like a big welcome home party whenever I went somewhere and had a conversation with someone. Old man bought me a round of beers because my great grandfather was waffen ss.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed

Something I'm quite proud of. His father was also in the freikorps, another point im proud of. Though he died fighting the bolsheviks in the baltics. Hatred of the ussr for his father's death caused him to be an early supporter of Adolf hitler, and he joined the waffen ss as a volunteer in the mid-30s. Was wounded in the battle of Demyansk Pocket, got pushed into a job shuffling paperwork in Germany while he recuperated, was reactivated and was in skirmishes along the eastern front for the end of the war. Helped trained volkssturm at the bitter end, and then bolted out of Germany with his family so they wouldn't be murdered by the soviets or starved by the americans after the war was lost.
I have no idea if he was involved with the early SA or anything too, or if he was just a supporter of hitler. My family doesn't know, this information wasn't passed down. It's very vague, but it's a definite "maybe"
I've got another relative (great grandfather. My family came from many different sides of Germany) who was in the abwehr and was a complete fucking spook with 0 available information whatsoever because he destroyed all of it and changed his last name completely. He may or may not have been in america because of operation paperclip.

It certainly could happen. But maybe it won't. German used to be the most widely-spoken second language by far, and the reason it isn't anymore isn't just because there's so many spics; It's because all those German-speakers raised kids who never learned German. Same thing could happen with Spanish-speakers.
Good ol' Norddakota. I'm guessing German is the second language because of all the German settlers from Eastern Europe who brought over winter wheat to farm the Upper Great Plains.

jews in BC sold the province off to billionaire chinese. drove the prices up, native leafs displaced. increased drug use and homelessness. now its chinatown every few quarters.
at least not many jeets, niggers, spics and sandniggers.
I'd still rather take chinks over any of those if I had to choose, at least they just want to mind their own fucking business instead of committing random acts of violence/rape and whatever else
