      The New Colossus:
      “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

      You: this sucks actually

      Bad take my guy but its okay we all got 'em

        Also I just … don’t like statues literally at all. I know I’m weird for this take (it’s not a take, really a preference), but like … why build a statue when you can build something functional or actually pretty? (Also I just realized your profile picture is a statue so don’t take it personally 😆.)

        I mean I fuck with the literal message, but … I am literally incapable of suspending my disbelief when it comes to the words of AmeriKKKa and france-cool. If someone other than AmeriKKKa and france-cool did it then I’d fuck with it (unless they’re monsters of the same order as AmeriKKKa and france-cool).

        I mean I can eat that 😆. If we all gotta have at least one shitty take, at least mine’s over some goofy statue and not something serious shrug-outta-hecks

          Nah I get you, the countries are imperialistic as they come. The sentiment is more what we wanna keep.
