Definitely. In more tribal places with extended families, there are almost no reports of depression. I forget where I read this.
@ophiuchus This is actually a relevant point.
There actually was an IE member who did what I just described
@Rabbidsith Not temporarily forgotten, never known and no impact. Let's agree to disagree here, we're not going to convince eachother at this point
Actually, there's two IE members who moved back to Poland that I can think of
It's weirdly common
@Virgil Never known? Bullshit. Then how do I know of him?
Both I met through my state chapter
So I wouldn't be surprised if there's more
@Virgil That's absolutely hilarious. He was temporarily forgotten.
Both of them were second generation Polish and moved back
It makes me sad to think of good Americans leaving.
@Virgil Same as archimedes for most of Europe.
do you speak polish @Jacob
@Selma I get that. It makes me sad to think of people who Eastern Europe needs leaving. I don't consider my family's history something to brag about, I think it's sad.
@Natasha - PA Yes. And Russian kind of
dope
Slavic languages are really hard
@Virgil The works of leif erikson gives us valuable insight into both the character of our people and how early norse colonies functioned.
Oh, it is completely understandable what motive you'd have to move there; no judgement there. It's just a bit poignant to me.
@ophiuchus Russian is easier than Polish
Polish pronunciation is cursed
Czech even worse
South slavic language seem the simplest in that regard
@Jacob I wish I spoke more Polish, my grandmother taught me a little and I've been trying to teach myself.
Bulgarian is allegedly the easiest slavic language for a native English speaker to learn
eh I think Russian pronunciation might be harder than Polish pronunciation, it's just that Americans think they have a license to mispronounce Russian since it doesn't have all the diacritics and stuff that Polish has
@Virgil See, that's something I think is sad. That people end up uprooted from their families.
Americans routinely butcher the pronunciation of Spanish, which has one of the simplest phonologies of any commonly learned language
@Jacob that I can agree with. I barley know any of my cousins
Yes, it's strange that people don't first learn how to properly pronounce languages.
@ophiuchus Once you get it down, I think Polish pronounciation is easier than English
For some reason, they never teach people that the vowels in english =/= the vowels in other languages
I butcher Spanish on principle, not because I can't pronounce it
Yeah there's someone in my chapter whos family seems to move back and forth by generation
Based @missliterallywho
@missliterallywho I always pretend I can't understand spanish when mexicans try to talk to me even though I can
@Virgil What of Aeschylus? Were his works insignificant although most did not remember him?
If you're gonna speak a language, speak it how it's meant to be spoken. Jared Taylor is based.
Only Mexicans pronounce Spanish properly in California
