I liked it also.

My retirement bucket list involves traveling to the Scandinavian countries (in the summer), particularly the central Swedish area my father was born in.

That's because people had 10 kids, people died at 40, and slavery and economic exploitation through empire was the norm. You can't turn back time, no matter how much you want to put women and nonwhites in servitude.

And no country is "forced" to diversify; they're diversifying because that's what successful countries do. If you don't attract the best and brightest, like the U.S. and Germany, you die, like Hungary.

Then move there. Hungary has the incomes of Mexico with the freedoms of China. Quite a combination! And if you aren't of Hungarian descent you're a second class resident.

So you're claiming that Germany actually does have high crime, but it isn't reported, so no one knows (except for you, apparently). In other words, the official govt. statistics are all lies, and only some random dude in North Carolina knows the truth.

I am 1000% certain you also think Trump is great, the media are "fakenews", science is fake, Mexicans are rapists, up is down and left is right, correct? "I love the uneducated". Truer words were never spoken.

Fertility rates are down world wide. Russia has tried to reverse theirs but has not succeeded. They are now down 15M people from their peak. I would not expect Hungary to do any better.



Selective immigration, where immigrants apply and are allowed in, will be critical to success as the world population begins to decrease.
That will happen very quickly in almost (but not quite) every country.

Google up China Demographic Time Bomb and read some of the many articles.

They'd be more successful with less diversity. Diversity seeks out successful white countries like a parasite does a host. Diversity from non-successful cultures can only make a country less successful not more, not to mention less pleasant and harmonious in general.
Ethnic identity is hard to understand for the race obsessed ethically blind Americans. In the European scheme of things ethnicity not color of skin was and remains the foundation of diversity. Different ethnicities sharing white +/- skin color may very well relate to each other in the same way as KKK relates to blacks. There was/is no white European brotherhood. Ethnic diversity provided as much or more tensions for Europeans as racial diversity does in USA.

No, you're just making a strawman argument.

Well, that doesn't account for the fact that the Old Southern plantation system wouldn't be successful without the importation of African descended slaves to do the labor. Kind of an inconvenient truth to your ethnic purity theory.
The Old South would've been just as successful without slavery, just maybe not quite as profitable by about 5% margin for plantation owners and employers. And there wouldn't have been a Civil War, Reconstruction, segregation and etc. Are you arguing slavery was a positive thing to support your diversity theory?

The USA has always had diversity in its population. It's just that folks like you don't recognize that, don't want to recognize the contributions of people who weren't white males to society. And you're bent out of shape that history says otherwise.
Yeah the USA always had diversity mostly because of the slave trade, and that was its first mistake that is still costing and causing problems today.

I'm not disputing that. I'm saying Americans are more experienced and correct with being ethnically "blind" and race "obsessed" which has an experimental and hereditarian basis and the Europeans obsessing over European nationality really has little hereditarian basis. As European countries are exposed to non-European immigration they'll learn what real diversity is and the real problems it will cause them.

OK, and? Germany has twice the immigration rate of the U.S., so I don't blame half of Germans for not wanting to increase it further (and I'm actually surprised half of Germans want even higher immigration). I don't want higher immigration either, doesn't mean Germany isn't a smashing success.


No. This is all 1000% wrong and proof you're being brainwashed. Germany has essentially zero unemployment and record-low crime. In fact they have a massive worker shortage.

As someone with dual U.S.-German citizenship, I have never seen a safer, happier, more prosperous Germany. I also find it hilarious that some Americans believe Germany is "unsafe", while living in a country where maniacs take loaded military weaponry to Walmart.
50% is a huge percentage of the population! And that probably understates the real percentage that are against immigration, as some people don't want to appear to others as being "xenophobic/racist." Similar to the Trump polling phenomena during the 2016 election.

Even though I don't usually trust the "MSM" even they are reporting rising populist and nationalist sentiment against immigration all across Europe.

And that scares the crap out of Western elites...

You can't just import huge numbers of people from radically different ethnicities/religions/races and not expect backlash...

And there should be backlash, and not just an expectation of backlash but the expectation of perfectly fine monocultural countries being degraded down to something more dysfunctional like Brazil. Really the people should totally disband governments forcing diversity and replacement on them.
