I'd say ferrets would be my favorite rodent but they're not rodents

yissss

@Rabbidsith People in Medieval Europe named their children after Alexander. There multiple kings and popes named Alexander. Alexander the Great's campaign has been known for a very long time and yes, the computer the Greeks built had virtually no impact on computer designs made in the 50's

That’s where all the art and history of our ancestors still is. I agree with you guys.

@sigruna14 That makes sense. But I imagine if you want to help people, it's better to help more people than less people. Brain drain can really harm the development of a country. It will never get anywhere if those who have the skills to change it leave. And it's not just skills. Those who desire to do something for a better life are exactly the people these countries need.

Immigration can only help the families of the immigrants that you accept, however, ending brain drain can drastically help the entire country.

In addition, the maximum amount of people that can be helped through immigration is very small. There's over 600 million people living in extreme poverty in the world. Even if we increased immigration by ten times, causing massive overpopulation, it would still be a minuscule percentage that you actually help.

We can do far more good for fellow white people by helping these poor Eastern European countries develop than we would by taking away the people that they need to change them. In fact, if we help them develop, you'll end up helping the people who tried to emigrate in the first place.

Beavers are great! Wall builders, DaMmit

epic style, unironically a yuge fan of Beavers

@Virgil I'm not arguing that they didn't know about Alexander. Of course they heard of him. However, did they know of the extent of his conquests?

@Jacob pretty much the argument I use verbatim when I'm arguing against immigration to leftists, it's actually quite a good one

It's a fun one. Really messes with lefties.

@Rabbidsith Did they know about Leif Eriksson's colony?

For example, when that ebola epidemic hit in africa several years ago, so many doctors had already left liberia that the ONLY virologist in the country got ebola and died- completely exacerbating the crisis

Nords had multiple settlements under multiple leaders, as far south as vinland

@Virgil Irrelevant. Are you going to judge the acts of heroes by their deeds or by how many people knew of them?

My dad once asked me, "so, should America not have accepted us?" when disputing my views on immigration. Honestly, no, America shouldn't have accepted us. It's kind of a paradox, because emigration creates the need for more emigration. If Poland didn't have brain drain, it would be a much nicer place, and my family wouldn't have felt the need to leave in the first place. So, ultimately, I would have benefitted.

@Virgil If you're going to discount Leif Erikson, then you have to discount every historical European figure that was temporarily forgotten due to the lack of universal literacy.

@Jacob were you born in Poland?

Not really relevant just wondering

nah I was born in Redmond

o shidd

If Nords had guns, there would have been colonization

@Virgil For example, unlike his inventions, the mathematical writings of Archimedes were little known in antiquity.

The natives attacked first

Nords had the Thuum though so how come they didn't?

If Beavers had guns water would not flow

Y'know, it's the end of this Saturday night, but it's so comforting to know that I can talk to people who are on my side any time. Wuh-we're not alone.

how come they didn't just shout the beothuk back

@Virgil Are we then going to discount his mathematical discoveries due to the lack of mathematical interest amongst most common Europeans?

at the time

@Deleted User Amen

@Selma this place has kept me from going insane for quite some time

@Jacob Do you think you will move back to the motherland someday?

@ophiuchus Real questions right here

I want to, yes @Zilna Jestov

@ophiuchus - Exactly. I used to feel quite isolated with my opinions and my knowledge of this clown culture.

it's nice just knowing there's a place I can chill and be around my people

@Virgil The first comprehensive compilation of his writings were not made until nearly 700 years after his death.

@Jacob Good luck, whatever you decide.

thanks

the sense of belonging that was common to every human being in the world until this last century being taken away is an extremely large contributing factor to the mental illness and loneliness afflicting everyone imo
