You're missing the joke. One of the chief conservative complaints about immigrants is that "they don't assimilate into american society".

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, I got the joke. And I was suggesting that Americans have always been on about other Americans not assimilating into their American culture. I also just find jokes about fascists being hypocritical or contradictory are no longer funny when the assumption that it's an indication of foolish lack of self-awareness no longer holds because double-think is the active goal.

Fair enough, I suppose

I guess I'd say that the joke is for us and not them, but I'd also argue that they genuinely don't assimilate, probably to a much greater degree than any other demographic.
