Much of England’s small settlements were for naval logistics. Bermuda and Hong Kong ect. Mercantilism takes infrastructure.
I'll play devil's advocate and say that what the Conquistadors did made sense to a degree. In their minds it would be much easier to rule over people with some Spanish ancestry and who had a reason to be loyal to Spain as opposed to Amerindians who would be completely ungovernable.
From a short term perspective economically colonialism did make sense.
Granted in the modern economic context there is no long term reason to do so.
And what about the American colony? I would say, if it had been maintained as intended, the United States would have been a huge success. But you’re right, the days of just setting up a colony from scratch is over. Now it requires vast resources to protect and maintain its existence.
I would venture to say the American colonies worked better than most in part because population density was so incredibly low.
American colonies were in a way conquest rather than subjugation.
Having motives unrelated to trade surely made a difference as well.
True. Historically those with the goal of acquiring farmland have been quite motivated.
Countries founded as colonies, where the intention was to successfully conquer, are generally very successful countries. Any other colonies founded to be as a show of "wealth" back in the time, well those colonies are still complete crap, if they still exist at all.
Anyone know how often confirmation emails for LOPF go out?
we got another openly anti-white TA
@wayne peek in your neck of the woods
Hahaha. You saw this also? Im telling the boys tonight. We going to go and flyer.

his past comments openly call for the murder of whites and UGA stands behind him
i'm looking forward to @Asatru Artist - MD's new flyer
Mayn....sum fem wyipo mayn....dey juz gotta go. *ghetto noises*
Anyway, so has anyone seen Allsups new video on "Trump doesn't need Congress to build the wall"?
No @Johnny B. Populus I'll probably watch it when I get off work
@Johnny B. Populus yea, i usually watch/listen to allsup or TRE on my way to work
Haven’t seen Allsup’s video but my bet is it relates to FtN’s recent deep dive on an alternate way to build the wall
@VinceChaos you got it
@Johnny B. Populus just watching allsup's now... the opening image cracked me up
Nice they have great researchers
The alt way to build it seems to good to be true it’s remarkably simple
mfw podcasters and youtubers are more qualified to run the nation than career politicians
Huge explosion at Lyon university in France. Could be anything at this point
@Goose Aaaaand, he's got a white wife. <:really:453005408064241674>

That jawline though
WOW. POTUS just shut it down. I read the thread that guy posted. They didn't see that coming hahahaha. The man is psychologically messing with these people. Are we witnessing 4d chess? lol
The Dems will have zero issue ramming through any and everything they want when they regain control...we need to do the same.
@Asatru Artist - MD no way, we need to disavow people within our party so the dems will work with us
>thinking the current GOP and Dems are any different
We should have a text channel devoted to minutes from fireside chats @sigruna14
Excited, I think I can make it to the salt lake city event.... LOPF is too far but this one is within range for me. looking forward to meeting some folks!
