Members of my family have Baltimore accents to the highest degree, which has been harmed because of white flight

@Bjorn - MD I absolutely would fund rare language classes in their localities.

Maybe not make street signs, but things to keep it going.

For sure, and that's where subsidiarity comes it. They should be allowed to create the necessary laws and institutions at the appropriate level to make that a reality. Not terribly difficult to do. Lots of experience with it in Europe proper already.

My grandfather had a sort of half way American half way Stockholm accent

By way of being second generation

I'd even be cool with bilingual street signs, provided none is in any dialect of Spanish, and English is always on top and larger.

Spanish is kind of a weird thing

My Grandma has a mix of a New Jersey and western Norwegian accent, kinda funny

Ostensibly a European language, but it just does not have that connotation here anymore

Right, the context is that Spanish is linguistic warfare

My grandma had a weird mix of an English West-Country and a Massachusetts accent, my other grandma still has an extreme Jawjuh accent

@ophiuchus French is majority African, or will be soon.

My parents have virtually no accent and I definitely don't. Kinda disappointing.

Montreal was passed by Kinshasa as the second largest francophone city recently iirc

Yeah. I mean, Spaniards are obviously European, and after the initial moratorium, if we decide to make immigration a thing again, then they could be eligible, but the situation between us and Latin America is such that there can be no compromise on linguistic intrusion.

Meh. If you call what the Congolese speak French.

That's fair. Anything that has a proper Spanish root for a name was absorbed into English by now anyway. Santa Fe, etc.

Mass media destroys accents

Everyone under 30 sounds like they're from Burbank now

If we make immigration a thing again it should be understood for the sake of cohesion and civilizational self confidence that we speak English and our core culture is English-derived

Canada almost joined the union in the 1800s

@NateDahl76 That's definitely true. We hardly even speak dialects anymore; just Broadcast English in varying accents...

WASP culture is American Culture - Queen Ann

What a superpower we would be...

The Canadian provinces still have a standing invitation to join the union, and thus do not need the approval of congress to join. Fun fact.

If the Pig War had popped off, Alaska would have perhaps be connected via Yukon and British Columbia.

Huh. Never knew that (about the standing invitation for the provinces to join).

Didn’t we try to invade them twice

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN The area my grandparents are from in Poland has street signs in the original native language

Also had a “war plan red” in the 30’s

@NateDahl76 Yep. 1775 and 1814.

Yeah we did

Yeah, I read about that (War Plan Red), too.

Muh plains of abraham

Quebec is kind of not really a part of our cultural continuum (as strongly obviously)

"1775 WILL COMMENCE AGAIN1"

There's no meaningful difference between someone from Saskatchewan and someone from North Dakota

There definitely is between someone from Upstate New York and Quebec

Definitely a language thing, although there's a bit of the differing "origin myth" thing too

Yeah, I honestly think that the long-term future of English-speaking (White) North Americans is probably going to be within a single polity.

yeah, I'm inclined to agree

Thanks Nemets, I'll have to check it out

@Nemets I'll read it, might balance out what I got from Beard.

A federation authoritatively united in outward policy but with a good measure of regional and local autonomy would be most desirable imo

There was historically a lot of movement between the US and Canada anyway. For example, my great-grandfather was from an English speaking part of Quebec called Estrie. Moved to Connecticut in his teens, however, his family moved there from Massachusetts during the revolution. Hard to delineate.

@Ald 😎 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity

My automated Reddit trolling bot is coming along quite nicely

When you field test it, be sure to get us screen shots

I can explain what it does for those who don't know

Right, and in international dealings the most immediate level is White North America which would justify a superstate united in military, trade policy, borders, etc

@ophiuchus Yeah, it all started with a mass exodus of United Empire Loyalists, who headed up that way after losing the war and being expelled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Empire_Loyalist

Retaining strong local autonomy

Yep! They were definitely torries.

Salt mining has come a long way

I could respond to multiple people in minutes with minimal effort

I'm picturing @Jacob in a room, struggling to keep his nostrils above the rapidly rising level of his big brains as they make their way toward the ceiling...

The question is; is there a way to get the balance right and have a vast continental state without stepping on local toes or are the libertarians right that any state will expand itself maximally

Once I get the basics down, I'm going to see if I can develop automated paraphrasing technology that will give me different paraphrased version of the counterarguments each time to make it less noticeable

So far, the database will have the ability to detect and respond to 25 different pro-immigration arguments

But! Have you gotten amazing restaurants covered?

Yes, that one will be in the database

Maybe once I'm done with the Reddit version, I could also automate Twitter trolling

Eastern Washington will have a booming salt mining industry

Oh shoot. Montana! Sorry

@Deleted User Brother Nathaniel's a Christian, too... 😏

@Valaska we got one!

He's a convert though

@Logan It's fine. coordinator-less members will have their onboarding completed by @Danimal876

@Deleted User such a good system. Interviewing and onboarding is so beautiful to watch.😢

We've certainly made leaps and bounds improving it - no small thanks to @Matthias

Wow bro, epic. You proved someone is part jewish.

White genocide is officially canceled

Greg Gutfeld cannot join IE

@Freiheit - CA nothing is going to make me think. Hard as they may try

lmao

@Deleted User Fair enough, but he's *visibly* so.

...and in any case, just look at his politics.

A libertarian?

But is he woke?

I'm admittedly not as well-versed in his work as that of other pundits, but I'm pretty sure he's advocated for some fairly neoconish positions over the years...

Yeah, bro. I'm sure his potential 16-25% ashkenazi adimixture (despite being raised as a Roman Catholic) is the reason he runs a raunchy libertarian themed political roundtable show.

IS

HE

WOKE?!
