How on earth is the former causally linked to the latter?
- philwelch 14y agoMaybe it is, maybe it isn't. But people can (and do) build that kind of narrative all the time, which was my real point. The reality is always more complicated.
- illuminate 14y agoI see. I still don't think white flight is a valid comparison to military operations and bulldozing settlements.
- philwelch 14y agoIt's not even a valid comparison to the Mexican-American war, that's the point. You can oversimplify vastly different issues down to the same narrative if you want to, which is why these simple narratives tell us nothing.
