You would need to assume outside intervention for any of that to occur. S Africa could be 100% white in a fortnight if they had the will to do it and there was no threat of outside intervention. Whites don’t lose in war when united.

Who would rule?
- Vivek type
- Chinese
- African
- Maduro
- Sheinbaum/Frey
The first three I don’t believe have ever ruled over a multicultural society. The first group has mayor of London but we are talking way more fragmented. The second Singapore would be closest example. The third never. The fourth occasionally in Mexico or Venezuela but while their people are the majority. The fifth yes they could pull it off.

I agree with this and it’s basically what I meant by function.
The left prefers to say that the right “hates” immigrants. If they used the term “fear” I would agree with them. It’s not fear that they are better than me etc. it’s fear that they can not reproduce the American Civic Religion.

The Gene Wu thing was crazy. I thought about including it in my original posts. I did see on twitter that he was adopted by white parents but I believe that is false by google and his parents are Chinese.
Where does he get these beliefs:
- 80% probability. He aligned himself with the ascendant power in this era - the woke - so adopted their beliefs and is now a true believer.
- 20% probability. He is an actual CCP agent attempting to cause social harm in America. Likely not formally but decided to align with his people.
His thesis I believe is obviously false. Balkanization is far more likely. Blacks and browns are not going to align with Asians and Indians. All those groups moved to America because they liked what white people built even if it was just economic migration. They have little common beliefs amongst them. You end up with Newsome types or a court Jew like Jacob Frey ruling over different tribes that don’t like each other.
For the HBD people this seems to be evidence that 2nd/3rd generation immigrants escaping communism etc revert to the political systems they are genetically predisposed to.

I am sorry you feel this way and sorry you grew up around people who think this way. It is not the America I experienced.
I don’t believe we “kicked the can down the road”. The Great Society was an attempt to end poverty. Reaganism was a mostly successful attempt at improving American prosperity.
Why does Harvard have a $50 billion endowment? It’s because a lot of people donated money wanting to give something back for (unrelated) people who come after them. Why did so many people sign up for the military when those towers fell? Or those boys who died on those beaches in Normandy? Why did Carnegie give all his money away?

Adding Argentinian twitter. Debates over whiteness. Trashy Latinos. Literally no different than America. My twitter algo updated itself and is giving me a ton of Argentina twitter since Bad Bunny. Argentina twitter
And yes watching those people and you realize 10 million could come and in 3 years they would 95% assimilated.
Do we live in different countries? Or are you under 25? 90% of Americans do not loot the commons. Nobody does. That’s a post 2016 commons breaking down. It’s not the America I grew up in. This is literally what we are fighting for to prevent America from going down that path.
The reason freedom worked in America is due to Americans being able to work for the collective good and not be solely self-centered. If everyone robbed from each other the entire experiment would have never worked.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but S FL mostly for geopolitical reasons has always been heavily Latin and Democratically we mostly decided it would be. Cold War era politics plus a natural hub to attract S American elites for the Monroe Doctrine. So it’s one of the places we had agreed would be a different culture.

Try to internalize this.
- People mostly prefer environments in their native tongue. For obvious reasons
- The performance was not just “in Spanish”. It was culturally third worldism. Excessively sexualized. Promoting welfarism.
The latter is far more of a threat to the commons than importing LATAMS best who can maintain a high end society. If you are going to go into my pocketbook then yes I care.

Ok so I don’t believe you actually expressed a reason why it’s bad. I don’t know who in the coalition it is bad for? Even the GOP antisemites are usually fine with Israel being strong if it doesn’t costs US blood or money. They are fine with Jews being in Israel from what I can tell.

Wikipedia says dad’s Puerto Rican. I guess he’s just mystery meat is you want to call it that. Regardless you can find a more Latino person for the job.
What are you even calling Iran2? Before getting into a political diatribe what do you mean by that? I am only saying I trust his judgement in the region. Maybe it’s Kushner making the decisions but he has played geopolitics well especially in the ME so whatever he decides I defer to the expert.
Pulling off a Maduro style partial coup in Iran isn’t going to tank his approval. Antisemitic lefties will hate it but who cares.

I think Jay-Z is the issue. NFL if they are smart should fire him tomorrow. We have done multicultural Super Bowl shows before. We have done them without simulating sex that were family friendly. They have been done in ways that were not explicit replacement politics ideology.
Super Bowl 50 was great. Coldplay, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars (Puerto Rican). That’s a unity show of one country of different people. Coldplayshow
This show feels like it came from agitators trying to tear us apart.

I wanted to keep a simple model but this is more complete. Hit the biggest groups as a framework to contrast with BB’s Latino to highlight big cultural differences.
Glad you’re saying Colombia/Venezuela is weird because they are obviously a big group and I didn’t just forget them. Nothing came to me as a classification as a distinct group other than they make cocaine here. Which is not a cultural group. I guess they are a border region between more distinct LATAM cultures. Maybe like Dallas today.

Unless he wins round 2 with Iran. I would have been of the opinion that sending helicopters into Venezuela sounds stupid and of course 6 helicopters versus entire Venezuela army is a lost cause. Same thing with killing Soleimani or Israel’s earlier Iran attacks. But those all worked. It feels to me like Syria under Hillary or Afghanistan under Biden were losses. I don’t know what is different with military action under Trump but it seems like the execution has been good.

Fantasy Football and gambling. The once a week format and only 17 weeks a year allows Fantasy football to work really well. Probably the same for gambling. It feels too degenerate to gamble every day.
My NFL viewership would fall 75% without fantasy which is just a great way to stay in touch with old friends

We have low expectations on black people and policing their behavior was complete social suicide for a while.
I don’t think for Latinos we need to set the same standards for them as blacks. And I don’t think this country can have a non-assimilated Latino population and continue to function.
There is a middle ground between appealing to Latinos and what we saw. I’ve dropped brands before over there behavior. Buds still banned. Jordan’s Nike is iconic to me and I haven’t bought from them in years. I won’t go to a NFL game but I may cut back on viewership.
NFL is surviving on gambling now. That is the main thing leading to booming revenues. My gut says the main problem with the current show is RocNation.

Money seems to work in the States but at levels the government can’t fund. >750k a year seems to have a big boost in fertility. Blue cities it seems impossible to have kids below this. 50% tax rate + expensive real estate + blue states have a bad reputation on public schools.

AO would maybe be the 4th best player in Pittsburgh history if he played there. Lemieux is the only one besides Gretzky with management on GOAT probably had a better peak but cancer and his back hurt his career stats. Crosby is definitely better. Jagr probably too. AO probably has the best shot of all time but not enough assists.

We don’t need to live like this?
Who decided that you know what the Super Bowl is missing? Simulated sex acts.
Looks like ROC Nation only has one Jew of their 7 executives. So can’t blame them too much. 7 year olds have to see simulated sex.
This still doesn’t let Bad Bunny off the hook. He could have refused this part of the show. You can say No.
All you have identified is that there is a sliding scale of “whiteness”. At some point people are so far away from heritage American that it’s unlikely they will ever have descendants that will be able to fit into America and reproduce American society.
On one hand you have Elon Musks who is pure heritage American stock. My last name traces to ancient Roman nobility so I am not heritage American stock though we did conquer them for a few centuries. But I do believe I am close enough to be a functioning person in America.
