DID YOU KNOW? The Dominican Republic actually celebrates its independence from Haiti, not Spain. In 1822 Haitians under the command of Mulatto President Jean-Pierre Boyer marched into and occupied the ethnic Latin east of Hispaniola - the Black Colonial Occupation lasted 22 Years

The occupation was supported by the Dominican Republic’s black population and mostly opposed by its mixed and white population. On arriving in the east, the Haitians immediately set about expropriating property from whites - and there was crop failure, looting and a lack of enforcement of laws. When the heavily outnumbered Dominicans finally took up arms against the Haitians after the death of Boyer they decisively won every major battleImage

Dynamic here of Somalilander takeover of… Liverpool City Council is not just as simple as migration creating a bizarroworld new ‘Somali’ lobby in the home city of The Beatles - the Somaliland lobby here represents the interests of a specific Somali clan; the Isaaq Clan. You may see major cities fall under the control of different Somali clans - Cities with large settlements of different clans may have very strong reactions to ‘the city of Liverpool recognising Somaliland Indepence’. Hawiye or Darod clan controlled cities opposed to an independent Somaliland vindictively making fun of the Hillsborough disaster as an attack on Isaaq controlled Liverpool, Britain devolved into a patchwork of warring regional powers like during the Heptarchy or the Hellenic Classical Age, Japan’s Sengoku Jidai period etc. except everyone is SomalianImage

For example in the comments this man who is from the Awdal region so probably from the Dir clan has a strong reaction to the prospect of Somaliland becoming more recognised. His pinned tweet decries those who support Somaliland as his enemy. He says:

1) Retard Somalilanders Liverpool’s council is just a city council it doesn’t mean anything
2) Calls them the word ‘Heego’ - which is used to described some perceived ‘enemies of Somalia’Image

Goodbye Rishi Sunak. Once described as “The Prime Minister you could most imagine playing Mario Kart with”, in another Britain with no Immigration Crisis he could have been a fairly endearing novelty PM - but we don’t live in that Britain

During a visit to Singapore in 2011, Tony Blair is asked the million-dollar question - “Why are you so committed to multiculturalism? Why introduce division into your country like that? Isn’t it better to be homogenous like Japan?”
YMMV how much of an ideologue you think Blair actually is but his professed reasoning here is ‘post-ideological’. His steelman position is that some mass migration is an inevitability in an increasingly globalised world and it is better to pragmatically embrace it than prevent it
He also maintains that embracing immigration allows you to select for talented human capital and that for all the doom-mongers decrying the inevitability of low level political conflict that will arise from immigration actually places that accept it will likely be basically fine

Tony Blair talks about how much he admires and learnt from Lee Kuan Yew and his Pragmatic style of Government - and how he decided to go and see Lee in Singapore despite how disliked Lee was by Blair’s political and ideological allies

Lee just asked, “why are you here?”
“Don’t look upon Government as a branch of politics, look upon it as its own professional discipline”

Lee Kuan Yew’s Mostly Competent Pragmatism and Tony Blair’s Mostly Competent Pragmatism with Gay Race Communist Characteristics two versions of highly competent pragmatism
Lee Kuan Yew at about the same time, roughly around the height of Blair’s popularity, explaining why Britain had declined - for all of Blair’s Lee Kuan Yew-esque Pragmatism Blair had some well-documented ideological blindspots

Driving in the Third World 🧵

Driving in the Third World often feels like playing a real life version of Mario Kart - the roads are narrow potholed obstacle courses full of comedy characters driving comedy vehicles who swerve around as if driving on ice or avoiding banana peels. Third World roads are frequently unpleasant death traps because of certain systemic problems that they seem to have in common, you’d can’t just drive down them like a regular highway and mentally switch to autopilot - you have to be constantly attuned to your environment around you to avoid accidents
Some Common Features of Third Word Roads:

• The roads are single lane, (probably because it’s too expensive to build more lanes but there might be other reasons,) which means the major highway between a Country’s two major cities will be filled vehicles packed up right next to each other with very little room for overtaking - mostly endless caravans of trucks driving very slowly for hundreds of milesImage
• People drive at either 20mph or 90mph, there’s very little inbetween. You’ll either be overtaken by cars speeding past you like they’re racing the Monaco Grand Prix or you’ll be stuck behind a truck that you could probably cycle quicker than. There is often officially a speed limit but it might as well not exist unless Police are nearby in which case it only sometimes exists if they feel like shaking you down or trying to get you to you appear in court unless you give them some money to buy lunchImage

The highlight of Kenya’s National Museum is small ethnographic section that feels as if it were curated by Arthur Gobineau. Panels detailing Kenya’s ethnic groups that read like they were nonchalantly written by a C19th race scientist. Would you ever see this in a Western museum? Image
Map of distribution of ethnicities in Kenya and the appearances of Swahili peoples of Zanzibar, Lamu, Mombasa and Pate

Cannot recall many of these kinds of displays in museums in Europe - but then, why would Kenyans in their own country have the racial hang-ups Westerners have?
Image
Image
There is a great room which is just paintings of all of Kenya’s different ethnicities in their traditional clothes and environments next to small plaques detailing a few of their ‘racial characteristics’. Really Hakanian, Nemetsian experience. Highly recommended
