These charts explain everything about modern politics:


These are also interesting:

A story in 4 parts.

It could be a metaphor for the entire Western world.


“When we were considering offers to purchase our house, we made it known that it was important to us that the house was not to be torn down due to its aesthetic and historic contribution to the community. We stated that our decision to sell to someone would hinge on that…”

These are recent demographics of Texas public schools.

23% of students were White in 2023-24.

22% of students were ESL (English as a second language).

13% of students were “special education”

Youth demographics will eventually be the demographics of the whole population.


62% of students are classified as “economically disadvantaged”

65% of students were classified as Black or Hispanic.

As Whites drop to below 50% among young people in the USA, Canada and elsewhere, it can no longer be taken for granted that White people will mostly marry other White people.

Dating is hard and the dating pool will be majority non-White… It's easy for people to forget that their personal decisions will still create a feedback loop into what the next generation looks like.

It's also easy for people to think that their choice is just an exception that won't matter…

I've heard this claim of India inventing zero for years, but ancient Greek Mathematicians used “ō” to represent the concept of nothing in the 5th Century BC, long before the earliest Indian use of zero.

Also, the innovation isn't the concept of nothing, as is often implied.

https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1874161268338438161

What Indians actually developed was the notion of using zero to denote magnitude while reusing the same numerals of 1-9; i.e. 9, 90, 900, etc.

Greek numerals used different letters for 1-9, 10-90, 100-900, etc.

For instance, 4 is Δʹ, 40 is Μʹ, 400 is Υʹ

444 would be ΥʹΜʹΔʹ

🧵You're not supposed to care if Western Civilization becomes “brown”— not even on the right

It's not supposed to matter if the future majority of a given country has any ancestral connection to those who built it

Western nationalities are costumes anyone can wear, we're told… Of course, on a practical level, the newcomers don't want to wear the costume of their adoptive homeland.

They don't make any equivalence between their own culture and failure, nor between success and the culture of their new home.

They view their culture as superior, in fact…

The migrant influx shifted Springfield's schools to being majority POC, even though the city is 70% White

Here is the POC % at each elementary school:

Fulton- 72%
Kenton- 45%
Kenwood- 49%
Lagonda- 52%
Lincoln- 69%
Mann- 47%
Perrin- 78%
Snowhill- 33%
Snyder- 46%
Warder- 27%

If we're being honest, this alone will destroy the city.

Who would want to send their kids to elementary schools with huge numbers of ESL children, to say nothing of other likely social issues.

Also, never forget that youth demographics predict the future overall demographics.

🧵I would argue that the benefits of a high-trust society almost always result in lower GDP, and this shows the limitations of GDP as a concept.

Recall that GDP = G + ( X - M ) + C + I

G = Government Spending
X = Exports
M = Imports
C = Consumer Spending
I = Business Investment

https://twitter.com/jeremykauffman/status/1793611052174733482

A low-trust society will likely increase G considerably as it spends more on government regulation and welfare.

Volunteer public services, e.g. firefighters & food banks, becomes increasingly untenable– again, higher G.

Lower trust results in other things…

Reminder: Joel Berry is anti-White

https://twitter.com/JoelWBerry/status/1780217131256234024

Some are arguing that Joel is joking.

But what is the joke?

Does Joel actually support nationalism, White identity, or White people being self-interested?

No. He doesn't.

The joke is that it's ridiculous that some White people care about the fate of their ethnic group.

🧵Hispanics and Middle Easterners won't be counted as White in the Census going forward.

Additionally, “Aztec” and “Mayan” people are instructed to select “American Indian.”

This very nearly makes “Hispanic/Latino” equivalent to “Mestizo,” except…

npr.org/2024/03/28/123…
…that “Spaniard” is provided as an example of Hispanic/Latino rather than “White.”

In the last Census (when Hispanic ethnicity was a separate choice in addition to race) only ~20% of Hispanic people identified as “White, alone” and most identified as “Some other race.”

🧵I don't think so.

1.) The debt was demanded 20 years after Haiti won independence, and while it was seeking recognition of its seizure of the Dominican Republican.

2.) France first demanded 150 million francs, which corresponded to 300% of Haiti's annual GDP…

https://twitter.com/memeticsisyphus/status/1768372639481880824

3.) Haiti struggled to make the initial payments, and France responded by reducing its demands by 60 million francs. This dropped the debt dropped to ~150% of GDP.

For context, the USA's current debt is 124% of GDP.

American cities in the early 1900s were full of largely un-assimilated ethnic groups residing in separate urban enclaves, reading newspapers written in their respective tongues, and even sending their children to schools catering to their particular heritage…

https://twitter.com/revenant_MMXX/status/1748342196158296219

This state of affairs was of great concern to many Americans, and it's the reason Teddy Roosevelt railed against hyphenated Americans all the way back in 1915.

It should be recognized that a few novel factors spurred the assimilation that occurred in the subsequent decades…

The ADL came up with the “pyramid of hate” concept to show how animus escalates to genocide.

The group this would actually apply to right now is White people.

White people face misrepresentation, stereotyping, dehumanization, ridicule, discrimination, and violence. It is White people who are formally vilified in misrepresentations; e.g. CRT, The 1619 Project, White Fragility, whiteness studies, etc.

If you're an American with a non-Western heritage, and your impulse is to explain why non-Western newcomers and other would-be migrants deserve the country more than the actual descendants of the old stock- you're not a patriot. You're a subversive foreigner defending conquest. You've sided against your countrymen in favor of the interests of your ethnic kin.

No amount of intellectual gymnastics can disguise what is plainly obvious to everyone else.

The responses from the kids are so interesting because they're so obvious.

The adults can't comprehend how these young people don't feel French despite:

• Not having French ancestry
• Being obviously non-European
• Not following French customs
• Not speaking French at home

https://twitter.com/poxesfoxes/status/1671863881596125187

The adults keep insisting that the kids can still be French even if their parents aren't ethnically French, even if they are Hindu or Muslim, and even if they dress differently, etc.

Important context:

• Nepal was never colonized by European powers

• Nepal's problem of stolen art began in the 1950s

• The people stealing and selling Nepalese art to foreign buyers are Nepalese themselves, often corrupt government officials.

Monasteries themselves are likely involved with selling these pieces. I'm sure they could use the funds.

However, it almost comes across as a full-circle scam:

• Sell the stolen art

• Play the victim

• Get the art back, but keep the money

The typical White person is descended from a hundred or more generations of peasants who were slaves, serfs, servants, famers, laborers, factory workers, etc.

This is completely ignored in modern discourse, where every white person is treated as coming from wealth and power… Any historical class distinctions in White societies are completely ignored.

However, White people don't generally hold a grudge toward historical aristocrats or despots. They aren't offended by historic palaces or statues. They view them as part of their own heritage…

As a child, my father’s extended family was still firmly rooted in the vicinity of my hometown.

I have particularly fond memories of my great aunts (and grandmother) taking turns hosting family get-togethers. Their laughter and chit-chat would echo through the house as they filled the dining room with various dishes.

There was typically a ham and a slow-cooker full of meat balls with tomato sauce; corn, rice pilaf, carrots, etc.

Pick a polytheistic pantheon– Round 1 Pick a polytheistic pantheon– Round 2

Hilariously, the teenager at the center of Citi Bike incident (named Michael in this article) inadvertently revealed even MORE wrongdoing in an attempt to defend his actions.

newsone.com/4592993/sarah-… The teen's family are immigrants from West Africa.

Because they receive welfare, they get discounted rates for Citi Bike rides in 45 minute increments.

Additionally, only some of the bikes in the Citi Bike program are electric.

This story makes more sense once one understands that the migrants killed a swan at a fenced-in pond that is basically a small zoo.

They jumped the fence at 3:00 AM to kill the swan. It's inconceivable to me that they didn't know what they were doing.

BTW, zoos and animal exhibits exist in Muslim countries.

The fish at the pool of Abraham in Urfa are even considered sacred, and you'll be arrested if you try to fish there.
