American Ideology and the Questionable Perks of Being Born Here

What are the real perks of being born American? In a daydream ideally, being American is all kinds of awesome, specifically on paper, being American comes with "perks":

• Freedom of speech (until tech companies censor you).

• Freedom of religion (unless it offends someone).

• A right to vote (for two wings of the same predatory bird).

• Access to opportunity (if you’re willing to drown in debt or work yourself into a hospital bed).

But what tangible perks are given to the descendants of Americans who have been here for generations? Definitely no tax breaks for staying put. No debt forgiveness for generations of service or labor. No education benefits, no land incentives, no priority housing, job placement, or infrastructure improvements for cities and towns left behind. It’s not even about special treatment — it’s about equal footing. And that’s pretty much disappeared.

💥 2. The Burden of Bearing the Load While Being Overlooked

The immigrants of the past came to build. They weren’t handed housing vouchers, medical cards, or free legal defense while actively refusing to assimilate. There’s a stark difference between coming to join the American project vs. coming to exploit it.

Meanwhile, natural-born Americans — many from struggling, historically disenfranchised families — are expected to:

• Work two or three jobs to afford being alive.

• Watch their tax dollars fund people who just got here.

• Stay silent, or be called xenophobic.

Where is the reward or relief for the multi-generational Americans who held this country down through war, recession, pandemic, political betrayal, and global embarrassment?

⚖️ 3. When Will the Boiling Point Be Reached?

We are long past the point of discomfort. We are in managed decline, with:

• Unchecked border policies,

• An overwhelmed healthcare and education system,

• Cities becoming unlivable,

• Veterans on the street while newcomers are placed in hotels,

• And Americans policing their speech while others scream entitlement.

You may ask why there hasn’t been a revolt. The truth? The system is designed to keep you distracted, exhausted, divided by race, gender, or political labels — anything but class or national continuity. The American people are being baited into fighting each other, while politicians and elites sit safely insulated from the consequences of their decisions.

And when a group does rise up, the media demonizes them overnight — not because they were wrong, but because they got too close to the truth.

If there is to be a change, it won’t come from riots or marches begging for breadcrumbs. It will come when multi-generational Americans of all colors and backgrounds recognize their shared status as the backbone — and demand, with collective, organized, unrelenting force, that this government finally prioritize its own people. Not in theory. Not in slogans. But in policy, action, and reparative investment in those who never left.

📜 WE WERE BORN HERE: A Manifesto for the Multi-Generational American

We are the ones who never left. We are the children of war veterans, steelworkers, farmers, machinists, single mothers, and laborers who kept this country running while the elite siphoned it dry. We are the second, third, fourth, fifth generation Americans — born on this soil, raised under this flag, and baptized in the broken promises of the American Dream. And we’re tired.

For decades, we were told patience would pay off.

That if we played by the rules, paid our taxes, worked hard, and kept our heads down — the system would take care of us. But the system doesn’t even see us anymore. It is too busy importing a new voter base, pandering to global agendas, and rewarding people who just showed up with more than we’ve gotten in five generations of loyalty.

🧨 We Are the Real Americans — and We Want Our Damn Country Back

This isn’t a story about race. This isn’t about left or right. This is about us — the forgotten foundations of this nation. The ones who’ve had to carry the weight of every national failure while being told to shut up, apologize, and foot the bill.

• Our schools are overcrowded, while brand new programs are rolled out for migrants.

• Our jobs were shipped overseas or handed to under-the-table workers.

• Our communities are falling apart while cities spend millions housing strangers in luxury hotels.

• Our veterans are sleeping on sidewalks while asylum-seekers get three hot meals and a metro card.

What have we gotten in return for being born and raised here? For dying in your wars? For voting in your rigged elections? For tolerating the slow-motion collapse of a nation that no longer wants us?

🛑 No More Guilt. No More Silence. No More Apologies.

To the career politicians who sold us out — we see you. To the media who calls us “privileged” while we ration gas and food — we hear you. To the open-border lobbyists who think “asylum” means bypassing every safe nation to get free perks in America — we are done being polite. This is our land. This is our labor. This is our history, soaked in blood and sacrifice.

And you will not erase us with labels, bribes, or imported distractions. This is a call to other Americans whom feel forgotten. We don’t need riots — we need resolve. We don’t neee to destroy our own neighborhoods — we need to dismantle the political structure that sold us out.

This manifesto is a warning and a rally cry: We are wide awake now. We are unifying across generations, geographies, and backgrounds. We are rejecting the shame they’ve tried to feed us, and we are demanding real reparative investment into the citizens who were here before the rot set in.

This country owes us more than flags and slogans. It owes us action. And we are done waiting. We were born here. We built here. We bleed here. And we’re taking it back — not through chaos, but through relentless truth, unshakable identity, and collective force that can retain a united front!
