China has a lot of different ethnic tribes as does most of Asia. They may all look alike to you but they know otherwise.
yes, but racially..
China is almost exclusively Mongoliod.
And there is no such thing racially as "Hispanic". They are either Caucasoid, Mongoloid or Negroids.
Race is either as broad or as narrow as it needs to be to prove whatever point someone is trying to make.
I know what you are saying but all in all China is run for the Chinese and no one else. By Chinese I mean Han and others who consider themselves Chinese
Not trying to be argumentative, I'm just really curious about your thoughts on this matter.
Very good post. The past is prelude.
Water is also a big concern. Scratch Los Angeles, Phoenix, etc. Without imported water arriving from far far away, they are Mad Max in a month.
The ability to grow food locally is also important, if the transportation infrastructure collapses, and the local Safeway is not restocked.
Kind of like a Gult’s Gulch? Just what I’ve been waiting for!
Please add me to your ping list.
In understand your point, but I think you are wrong. I read Tom Chittum's book "Civil War II" about a decade ago. It was so brutal in its outlook I rejected it at the time. But, still, the concepts were there and watching the news I slowly came to appreciate his point.
Briefly, his thesis is that all large, external power projecting political entities made up of diverse groups are defacto empires. Nations, on the other hand, tend to be very homogonous and inward focused. Nations can survive almost anything, sharing a common language, culture, history and religion. Think of Poland surviving being taken over and invaded continuously for 400 years. Empires, on the other hand, are inherently unstable. Groups are set against groups, usually by the leaders for their own political gain. (A pretty good explanation of affirmative action.)
When multi-ethnic societies come apart, no matter the initial cause, it usually ends up quickly going to the Lowest Common Denominator, race, religion or ethnic group.
Iraq is a perfect example. While somewhat united by hatred of the Evil Saddam once he was deposed the Sunni vs. Shia vs. Kurd battles quickly errupted.
Ditto in Yugoslavia where the country broke up and even very multicultural cities like Sarajevo were forced into a particular ethnic ownership, and exile of everyone else enforced.
As the husband of an asian woman and father of some wonderful mixed race kids it gives me no pleasure to point this out, but any serious conflagration in the USA is likely to take place along racial lines.
In fact, in the USA the only serious sustained challenge to state authority, the cascading race riots of the 1960s, was explicitly race-based. So was our most recent mini-rebellion, the Rodney King riots.
I certainly agree that we should keep pounding home the horror of the collectivist nanny state in the meantime though.
Done! Welcome to CW2 ping list.
And a great many of them believe (or must believe out of pride) that the USA and its white people exploited and stole all their affluence from poor nations, and except for that the poor nations would be the affluent.
So, theres nothing unique about the USA, at least according to many from failed societies. We just stole it all and theyre gonna take it back, as is their right.
Or theyll just turn parts of the USA into what they left behind.
The age of European and American imperialism and colonialism is long gone.
These days the home grown kleptocracies have proven themselves 1000 more cruel than the "white colonialists".
Take Zimbabwe. The black psycho killer Robert Mugabe is much much crueler than Ian Smith's regime
Plus these days Europe is colonized via immigration & explosive birthrates by the very people they once ruled and colonized. France once ruled Algeria and Morocco. Today Algerian and Moroccan immigrants and their French born offspring riot, burn cars, harass Jews, suck up welfare
Carve off a good chunk of easter Orego nand Washington, add it to Montana, Idaho and Wyoming and call it Columbia. Adn run every lib out out town and out of state. The time for tolerance of murder, appeasment and socialism is at an end.
Time for Atlas to shrug - and pick up a gun.
I know what you mean by oneness. It’s hard to describe, but you know it when you see/feel it. I don’t know the term for it in any other language but Arabic - ‘asabiyyah.
Here you're making the mistake of assuming that people are still creating progeny [to form a "Posterity"].
But at least half of the Caucasian population in the USA [very roughly, the "Blue States"] is suicidal & hell-bent on self-extinction:
Vermont Losing Prized Resource as Young Depart

Published: March 4, 2006
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/04/national/04vermont.htmlNot long ago, Ray Pentkowski, the principal of Poultney Elementary School, published an unusual request in the school newsletter. Please, he urged parents, have more babies. The school desperately needs them. He was half joking, but the problem is real. His school, down to 208 children, has lost a third of its student population since 1999 and must cut staff levels, he said, "for the first time in my memory"...

No, again, it is primarily due to Caucasians not making babies anymore.
The American Black population is roughly in stasis, the American Hispanic population is, as you indicate, growing, but the American Caucasian [and, for that matter, American Asian] population is in absolute freefall:

No, it's not "strange" - it's terrifying.
In a mere 40 years, we have set in place the foundation for a demographic armageddon which will cause the collapse [and possibly even the disappearance] of the civilized world, and which could very well result in a new Dark Age [no pun intended].
you obvioulsy support the illegal hordes invading and destroying the US like locusts in the fields and support b. HUSSEIN
actually, I don’t. But its hard for me to hear people talking about this so-called oneness that has never really existed in this country (racially). I love this country and the opportunity it has given me, but you’d have to be a real dummy to think that this “oneness” extended to ALL peoples at its founding. In present time, with ignorance supposedly banished, this oneness does not exist either.
To be fair, I think your 11M to 16M comparison is a bit off. Things aren’t quite that bad. That 16M is the tail end of the Boomers. Their offspring by and large are that baby boom echo generations now in their teens. The 11M you are pointing to I think more fairly are the echo of the ‘baby bust’ that came after the boomers. Table 8 seems to show an overall growth of nonhispanic white population of 1.6% between 2000 and 2006.
Yes, we are probably a bit under replacement #’s for nonhispanic white reproduction, though of course some of that increasingly is going into an interracial/ethnic mix.
