England lives and marches on

*British grenadiers march 10 hour loop plays*

@Perihelion - CA It sounds like he's preaching to the choir, but there's genuinely people in IE who believe the "multiculti but for white people" thing. They seem to have quieted down recently, though.

Is America even technically the Anglosphere anymore? 😥

Linguistically yes

You cant have infinite localism

So theres a balance

You can’t wholly replace anyone wholesale like that, no. It’s possible for individuals to assimilate- there’s plenty of Irish who became English. David Bowie’s grandparents were Irish, etc. The hardline to assimilation is race. I’d argue it’s functionally impossible for first generation immigrants to assimilate completely, after a few generations though- my dad only had one grandparent born in the US, you wouldn’t be able to tell him apart from anyone else. It’s possible to assimilate small groups of people who are ethnically similar to you. Whether you’d want to is a different story.

@Perihelion - CA I’ve never heard of “too much localism”

Inbreeding yo

Eh, I'd agree that you can't have infinite localism, but I mean you're not gonna have inbreeding because there's still an England and a France

Regionalism within nations is also important imo

Was

Its downright grim

It would be boring if every part of a nation was the same

It’s really not difficult to maintain genetic diversity

Just avoid the same last name and you’re good

I forget the paper- but the number of reproducing pairs you’d need to avoid genetic problems is much lower than you’d think

Right but that requires a open system at some point. I mean the mentality can get clannish at town level if permitted

Also “wypipo be inbred” isn’t even remotely true

@ophiuchus The Catholic Church even allowed you to marry like 3rd cousins before it became incest I believe

Iceland is only like 300,000 people and from what I've read, the inbreeding problem is overblown and doesn't really exist

Hmmmmm

Jinx

Lmao

Like 3 people in IE owe me sodas at this point

@DixieBoy76 - KY 3rd cousin is genetically diverse enough that zero issues would come from that coupling.

check out this cool map I just found

So much jinxing

It’s probably impossible for any European to be more distant than 20th cousins or so

When I go to LOPF next year I’m gonna get so much free soda

This graph got me a twitter ban.

If you think about it, historically, people would find a spouse from the same village and they were fine

@The Eternal Anglo cool find!

No matter who you are, you have some ancestor that was attached to the European nobility who basically exclusively married each other

@ophiuchus pretty sure I’m just farmers

These maps prove overdoing inbreeding is possible

Charlemagne is probably “the father of Europe” in several regards

@DixieBoy76 - KY if you have any colonial ancestry it’s almost impossible for you to not be descended from some of the English nobility
