No, he's not an immigrant. By definition, immigrants and emigrants migrate, ie they move somewhere else. It's right there in the word.
If you live in the same place you were born, you aren't an immigrant.
"Strongman" is defined as a "one who leads or controls by force of will and character or by military methods". That does not include David Koch or anyone else who merely finances a political movement.
Well, if you're arguing that wars tend to be caused by the actions of shitty people in general then I won't dispute that fact.
There was migration ie colonials moving in and making his nation not a nation any longer. You're being tedious.
Arguably yes, historically no.
That's a definition sure, you are aware English changes through time, context and situation. He's an economic strongman, what even are you arguing for or against at this point? Do you even know?
That would be nearly as dumb, not quite but real close.
Yes, colonists were immigrants. Under colonialism, the immigrants are the ones in power.
You previously argued that wars were preceded by fear of immigrants and the rise of political leaders like Hitler. Now it seems you mean the existence of immigrants and rich people like Koch.
But that comparison is pointless. Immigrants and rich people preceded WW1, WW2, the American revolution, the invention of penicillin, every Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, and every Cat 4-5 hurricane.
That's because there are always immigrants and there are always rich people. So pointing out that they also exist right now is not particularly concerning.
