Well the thought experiment needn't be an ethnostate. It's a basic premise about valuation between racial and cultural majority. Also Japan clearly is not functioning just fine, and Poland is potentially in the same boat. Iceland just isn't scalable, and is primarily one ethnicity, not simply one race. All three countries have low birth rates, with only Iceland's severe drop in death rates keeping their numbers up
Also is Dank Brigade still up? It seems to have dropped off of my discord list somehow
Oh apparently it died. RIP
As a European American, I feel we just don't have anything that really brings us together in some aspects that others might have. We don't really celebrate our own culture and are far more disconnected and even content with that than others. Nothing wrong with that either way, just a thought.
Thankfully it was replaced so I can keep getting my fix of haggisposting
I think that's because you're dealing with multiple cultures, not one, on top of the fact that the west's cultural values are weakening
@J Edgar, 1965 marked the creation of thr Hart-Celler Act. It opened immigration up to non European countries.
His point was that there were non Europeans in America already
Wait that makes no sense imagration was open to non Europeans at the conception of Ellis and Angel island
There were quatas up to 65 that ensured America's majority stock came from Europe. Of course there were non Europeans, but we limited them to maintain majority
Just go read about the celler Act
is the dude caught yet?
Say what are you talking about our leftwing troll here
So I rang out a customer today at work and his daughter came up to the counter with her own stuff that she was going to pay for and the girl couldn't speak a word of English yet her father was fluent with no accent what so ever. I had to have him tell her to wait in Spanish so I could finish out his ticket
I've had that kind of shit happen before
There's a pizza place owned by an East Indian family. There's an older dude there that speaks English and a younger woman who doesn't. Both answer the phone
Well what annoys me is that this girl is young and they don't teacher her any English which will make her life much harder and later
Later on
Forget the and
I got that with the chinese food place I used to go to. The delivery driver spoke perfect english, with a little accent. So did all but one of the backups. There was one that didn't speak any english
But the woman who answered the phone....you were amazed when your order was right consistently, because you couldn't understand her on the phone
Well it just pisses me off because her father no perfect English and he is not teaching her any. Which will make her a burden on the school system later because she will need an English learning aid with her through most of her schooling
Knows
Lol I've called pretty much all of the about 20 Chinese places near me, the best of them speak English with an accent so thick trying to communicate you want special fried rice without knowing the number is a chore, and good luck trying to order it without peas/chicken/whatever. But at least they are trying to speak English.
The worst of them know exactly 2 words of English, number and address, it is all but impossible to order food over the phone.
Now I don't want to bash technology, but it's apps like Just Eat that have allowed the latter to happen, if they didn't sell almost exclusively through phone apps they would have to learn English to communicate with the customer.
morning folks
most of the ppl that answer phones for Chinese reataraunts xan at least underatand the order

I'm a patron but I don't see myself on the patron list.
*patreon supporter
give it a second
I've been a patron member for awhile, and can't figure out how to get on there. It's fine though.
I patronized for a couple months, but I work second, so the orange font is wasted on me
