The last of the Muhhekunneuw ... more or less

Tribal name

Since they originally established their settlements along the Hudson River (Mahicannituck - ‘waters that are never still’, ‘water that is always flowing’), they referred to themselves in their language simply as Muhhekunneuw or Muh-he-con-ne-ok (‘the people of the waters that are never still’, ‘the people of the water that is always flowing’). Therefore, the Dutch and English referred to them as River Indians along with the tribes living along the Hudson, such as the Munsee (Northern Delaware) or Wappinger (Wappani). The Dutch distorted the name of the Wolf Clan (‘Manhigan’) into Mahigan, Mahikander, Mahinganak, Maikan or Mawhickon. The English simplified the word to Mahican or Mohican. The French referred to them as Loups (‘wolves’).

Demography

All Algonquin tribes living between the Hudson River and Connecticut River were generally referred to as Mahican and were estimated to have numbered around 35,000 people by 1600. The Albany tribes, known as the Mahican Confederacy, had a population of around 8,000. By 1672, the number had been decimated to around 1,000. At the low point in 1796, there were only 300 Stockbridge (The Last of the Mohicans) living with their former Iroquois enemies, the Oneida, in Brotherton, New York. Including the Mahican living with the Wyandot and Lenni Lenape in Ohio, their total number at that time was about 600 people. Today, 1,500 Stockbridge (recognised by the state) live on or near their reservation west of Green Bay, and an estimated 1,700 Brotherton Indians (Mahican) (not recognised by the state) live on the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago.

It is perhaps worth noting that every white American citizen currently alive can trace their lineage solely to immigrants.

It's ironic that a nation full of emigrants and immigrants doesn't want emigrants and immigrants.

The Truth About Immigrants and the Economy

Immigrants are good for the economy and our society! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

For centuries, immigration has been America’s secret sauce for economic growth and prosperity.

But for just as long, immigrants have been an easy scapegoat.

One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals.

It’s just not true. Crime is way down in America. Anyone who says otherwise is fearmongering.

And whatever crime there is is not being driven by immigration. Immigrants, regardless of citizenship status, are 60% less likely to be incarcerated for committing crimes than U.S.-born citizens.

Maybe that’s why border cities are among America’s safest.

Immigration opponents also claim immigrants are a drag on the economy and a drain on government resources.

Rubbish!

Quite the opposite, the major reason immigrants are coming to America is to build a better life for themselves and their families, contributing to the American economy.

The long-term economic benefits of immigration outweigh any short-term costs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that adding more immigrants as workers and consumers — including undocumented immigrants — will grow America’s economy by about $7 trillion over the next decade. And those immigrants would increase tax revenue by about $1 trillion, shrinking the deficit and helping pay for programs we all benefit from.

Immigrants of all statuses pay more in taxes than they get in government benefits. Research by the libertarian Cato Institute found first-generation immigrants pay $1.38 in taxes for every $1 they receive in benefits,

This is especially true for undocumented immigrants, who pay billions in taxes each year, but are excluded from almost all federal benefits. After all, you need documentation to receive federal benefits. Guess what undocumented immigrants don’t have. Hello?

And of course, one of the most common anti-immigrant claims also isn’t true.

No. Immigrants are not taking away jobs that Americans want. Undocumented immigrants in particular are doing some of the most dangerous, difficult, low-paying, and essential jobs in the country.

Despite what certain pundits might tell you, immigration has not stopped the U.S. from enjoying record-low unemployment.

And as the Baby Boom generation moves into retirement, young immigrants will help support Social Security by providing a thriving base of younger workers who are paying into the system. The fact that so many immigrants want to come here gives America an advantage over other countries with aging populations, like Germany and Japan.  

What’s more, immigrants are particularly ambitious and hardworking. They are 80% more likely to start a new business than U.S. born citizens. Immigrant-founded businesses also impressively comprise 103 companies in last year’s Fortune 500.

And immigrants continue to add immeasurably to the richness of American culture. We should be celebrating them, not denigrating them.

It’s time to speak the facts and the truth. We need immigrants to keep our economy — and our country — vibrant and growing. They are not “poisoning the blood” of our nation. They’re renewing and restoring it.

Men are fearful of being the subject of ridicule from women, while women are concerned about the possibility of being the victims of violence at the hands of men.

As long as this situation persists, it is evident that there are inherent flaws in our societal structure. Those who accept this situation without question may be considered complicit in violence against women.

It is incumbent upon us all to take responsibility for the actions of our children. Rather than shielding our daughters from the realities of the world, it is our duty to educate our sons to respect women.

What an awesome idea to dig a moat over 2000 miles and then fill it with snakes and alligators.

Well, we're not entirely serious here, but it would be endless jobs for Mexican immigrants.

Nonsense, once again Trump proves that he has no idea about business and is more likely to display medieval values.

How about a replacement for the Panama Canal, just at the longest point, which can never really be economical.

He had also recommended investigating pale science to see if it could help against Covid.

The sick thing is that his own party is going along with this nonsense just to get into power.

His supporters have no interest in differentiating and are completely overwhelmed by complex interrelationships.

Perhaps Trump was simply misinterpreted! It's an incredible opportunity to embark on the largest conservation project for renaturalization ever to be realized on American soil. While some may see nature conservation and Trump as two unlikely partners, we believe they can coexist.

Nonsense, we were only joking

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

The improbable lies at the edge of the probable—always bear that in mind.

After the First World War, everyone swore never to go to war again!

A capitalism-oriented God's State in the form of an empty democracy hollowed out by corrupt power-obsessed morally degenerate outcasts at the mercy of Trump and his rotten party is a real possibility.

There are moments in history when you can show what you don't stand for!

To be on the current side of history's victors is not to be on the right side, because history is only measured in retrospect by the injustice that the so-called victors did during their time of power.

We are all born with a moral and ethical compass that lets us know what is good and what is evil.*

No matter how much we allow ourselves to be indoctrinated or manipulated, there is still a spark of morality alive deep within us.

This will torment us in old age, so many will seek forgiveness in religion. But once upon a time, God may forgive executioners, but history does not.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.

Gustave Flaubert

However, unfortunately we are not all in this state of happiness, so we have a question and a new perspective. But if you ignore that, it's also easier.

It seems reasonable to posit that the assassination of the presidential candidate will have no influence on the current gun legislation.

Let us consider an alternative perspective. We may now be of the opinion that it would be beneficial for all members of society to procure firearms and ammunition in substantial quantities.

One might inquire as to why, if Project 2025 is to be implemented, it should not be accompanied by a robust resistance to deportations.

It is evident that criminal gangs are already armed. This observation does not pertain to the militias on the political right, but rather to Latin American and medieval gangs with American passports.

It would undoubtedly be entertaining to rid the country of a significant portion of its citizenry, deemed undesirable, if they were to be armed to the teeth.

Moreover, Trump himself has previously asserted that blood will flow if he is not elected. We assume that even if he is elected, he will not object to the shedding of blood.

Therefore, we call upon all liberals and Democrats, and we do not refer to members of the Democratic Party, but rather to those who stand behind the cause of democracy, to arm themselves.

Learning from history means that when the bad guys threaten violence and overthrow, the good guys have to be armed pacifists.

There is, of course, a more prosaic approach: one must simply vote and choose reason over hatred. This will prevent the country from descending into a dictatorship.
