Anglofuturism: Reclaiming Doggerland

An ambitious Britain could reclaim the Dogger Bank from the ocean. Doing so would provide opportunity for future growth - and is achievable, given most land reclamation takes place in water shallower than 50 feet. Dogger Bank is <30 feet deep

Dogger Bank is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea off the east coast of England. During the last Ice Age the bank was part of a large landmass connecting mainland Europe and Britain called Doggerland. Today, most of the Dogger Bank lies in British Ocean Territory

Reclamation of the Dogger Bank would give ~7000 square miles of land. Plenty of land for several large cities, and well placed for trading with Germany, Netherlands etc.
Imagine a fleet of automated dredging ships sucking up sediment from the the seabed and dumping it in the area

DIVERSITY SUCCESS STORIES: A Compilation

Compilation Thread of posts about Countries in which Diversity, of different kinds, has led to general social decline, ethnic displacement and conflict. The aim is to show that there are very few Countries which ‘Diversity’ has improved

Broadly, extreme levels of Diversity in Societies tend to produce out-group animosities as different groups inevitably compete for physical and cultural space - Imagining that groups will be indifferent to fluctuating demographics, historical vendettas etc. is mostly Utopian

LEBANON

Lebanon was one of the wealthiest Countries in the Middle East when it had strict laws on representation in Government. When Demographics changed due to an influx of Palestinian refugees, it fell into Civil War and today suffers corruption, hyperinflation, blackouts etc

🇧🇹 WHY BHUTAN FORCIBLY EVICTED ITS ETHNIC MINORITIES

In the 1990s, Bhutan underwent a rapid demographic change: In 1985, Ethnic Minorities had been 25-45% of Bhutan’s Population. By 1996, over 100,000 of those Minorities, 1/6th of the Population, had been forced out of Bhutan 🧵

These events were motivated by anxiety about Cultural and Demographic Displacement; growing concerns in today’s West. This Conflict is different from other Ethnic Conflicts though in that Bhutan largely evicted its ‘problematic’ population and has mostly flourished since doing so

The Ethnic Minority population was ‘problematic’ because it increased so rapidly in the decades prior to the 1990s that the Cultural and Demographic issues that increase caused caught the Bhutanese completely by surprise. The consequences were so apparent they couldn’t be ignored

BURMA: A DIVERSITY SUCCESS STORY

Burma is a Buddhist Country with a long history - but what if Muslim, non-ethnic Burmese Rohingya were introduced in increasing numbers and the Country was told to become a pluralistic power-sharing Democracy by the UN? Surely nobody would object

Recent Perspectives on the Rohingya Conflict

WATCH: Buddhist Nationalist Monk U Wirathu, the Face of Buddhist Terror, on the Muslim Rohingya:
