@Wilhelm @Jacob @NITRODUBS @TMatthews The most essential thing about identiarianism is that we're all more-or-less rational people, so as long as our political system isn't being polluted by the views and agendas of interlopers, we can essentially work out whatever disagreements we have, and adjust our approach, depending upon what proves to be successful, and what doesn't...
Well, maybe not *most* essential, but it helps, lol.
For sure. In a healthy homogeneous society, we would also have civil political debate again
Exactly.
So each country can figure out what suits its needs
...because we'll be a *we* again, rather than struggling against all of the uninvited in a prisoner's dilemma-esque, every-man-for-himself scenario.
@Jacob ...not to mention that it's up in the air, whether or not we'll even have corporations, at least in the current sense, when our laws actually acknowledge the reality that only *people* can be considered to be people.
...and I think that it's pretty telling that, as the Orania Movement in the Northern Cape province of South Africa has continued to develop more and more into a thing, the supposedly dogmatically capitalistic Boers there are very much demonstrating an awareness of the value of cooperatives and the commons.
Animal of the Day is Opossum.
Lol
Press P to Pat the possums.

BASED. North America's only marsupial. And consumes thousands of ticks a year without contracting LYME.
Honor the Possum, he fights for your health!

I almost forgot to post one today.
Boomers are interesting people...

Used to have a huge possum in my backyard couple years back
Not bad!\
@Hakujin - CA Wouldn't it be longer if you went South?
@Jacob @Wilhelm One thing that I find interesting, for instance, is the evolving structure of the Russian economy. Now, corruption is obviously much more of a problem over there than it is here, and part of that is cultural/maybe even genetic, but I think it's mostly just due to social inertia from the Soviet period. That said, though, Russia has lower barriers to entry in a lot of sectors than the States, they have a 13% flat tax on income, and a home ownership rate somewhere around 90%, but they also make sure that the commanding heights of the economy, particularly concerning natural resource deposits, are dominated by what Putin refers to as "national champions," such as Gazprom in the case of natural gas, the United Aircraft Corporation, the United Shipbuilding Corporation, and RosTech in the case of high technology, all of which are majority controlled by the state, usually with a 51% stake, and the rest of the investment covered by private capital. That way, there's ample room for free enterprise, but no sector can be seized and dominated by foreign parties.

@Deleted User Just wrong...
Socrates was a ...!
@Jacob Maybe if you went offroad, this is just with roads.
@Hakujin - CA https://wikitravel.org/en/Trans-Siberian_Railway Take the train instead. VERY EUROPEAN
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Very INDO-European 😎
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN But does it go from Portugal to Russia?
@Hakujin - CA I'm sure you can take a different train(s) from Lisbon to Moscow
Trains go slower, and often through more interesting scenery. You can interact with new, interesting people, and maybe get into a murder mystery.
Sleeper cars solve the issue of transport + lodging.
Also solves the question of "what to do with the vehicle" when you get to Vladivostock
@ThisIsChris There's definitely truth to what you're saying, which is why I'm extremely wary of the state retaining control over education, because so long as that remains the case, the state's in a position to dictate *which* societal norms are cultivated and perpetuated...
When you get to Vladivostok you drive the car to japan
Hold your breath
