On immigration and universal suffrage, Bellamy wrote in the editorial of The Illustrated American, Vol. XXII, No. 394, p. 258: "[a] democracy like ours cannot afford to throw itself open to the world where every man is a lawmaker, every dull-witted or fanatical immigrant admitted to our citizenship is a bane to the commonwealth.”[9] And further: "Where all classes of society merge insensibly into one another every alien immigrant of inferior race may bring corruption to the stock. There are races more or less akin to our own whom we may admit freely and get nothing but advantage by the infusion of their wholesome blood. But there are other races, which we cannot assimilate without lowering our racial standard, which should be as sacred to us as the sanctity of our homes."[13]

I think his definition of socialism is more fascistic than our definition of socialism

Writes pledge of allegiance as a way to sell more american flags

If nothing else that's damn impressive griftery. Still goin strong strong +100 years later.

invents pledge of allegiance
invents nazi salute

lucky he believed in hell, because that's where he went lmao

Bellamy "viewed his Pledge as an 'inoculation' that would protect immigrants and native-born but insufficiently patriotic Americans from the 'virus' of radicalism and subversion.

shithead. BOOM done

The only good christian is John Brown. Coincidentally, the only good white is also John Brown.

I got to the part about him inventing the pledge of allegiance and noped out.

There are only three good white people

1. John Brown
2. Superman
3. Tie between Jonas Salk and Ed Asner

I got "he probably tried his best" because of the socialist minister part. That's a large reflection of the limited vocabulary I possess in real time. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

My five second opinion is that his last name sounds similar to bellend and uh yeah, that's all I've got
