Migration is one thing. It's a fluid, natural, evolutionary process. What we're seeing here is the forced mixing of completely opposed cultures that are never going to be compatible with one another.

They aren't going to blend together. The muslims aren't going to assimilate, and the inevitable crisis will only serve as a catalyst for the government to tighten control over the people - which I'm sure is intended.

Add that to the widespread demonization of white people and what would have once been thought of as a "conspiracy theory" is now pretty plausible.

Pretty shocking how open and direct this is. Liberals aren't even hiding it anymore. I can't believe I ever voted for democrats and I never will again. The DNC race is sickening to behold. So much white guilt.

You have to separate out color (as in white) from ethnicity.


The whole point was to compare Greece to modern western society. As you say, ethnicity in Greece was not "race" since pretty much everyone was "white." However, that's not the case in, say, America today. Ethnicity is defined more by race than by anything else.

My point is you're being disingenuous when you say Greece was "multicultural" in the sense of America. Two totally different things. Sparta vs. Troy in those days was about like Britain vs. France or Germany vs. Poland in the modern era. Hardly what we think of today as multicultural. Sure, the cultures and languages were different, but they weren't different "races" (and weren't even that different culturally, tbh).

Although they publicly advertised the women's marches as anti-Trump, they were clearly pro-muslim marches, intended to be held after a Hillary victory.

I've been berated on FB recently for posting an anti muslim video, with repeated references to "the people I marched with and for." I called that weeks ago, in my Linda Sarsour thread. It was only ever supposed to be a "muslims are awesome" march targeting women.

Globalism is a boogeyman, a spectre conquered from imagery written down two millennia ago.

Humans will never unite under a single government. It fundamentally goes against our nature. Even a global conquering Islamic caliphate would splinter and divide into warring nations.

Both those who fear it and desire it are fools who deny the nature of our existence.

You mean everything about them was different, save for the concept of race? There was lot of difference between Romans and Etrsucans, or Romans and Gauls, or Angle-Saxons vs Normans. Those differences became less meaningful as one culture won out, but at the time they were very meaningful.

A culture usually indicates a language associated with it. The language diversity of Europe up until the formation of Germany was immense. There is still a large degree of language diversity with associated cultural differences. Spain is basically a confederacy of autonomous regions with their own languages and cultures. Within that country you have Basque, Catalan, Castillian, Valencian, among others.

My point is that it was true that Europe was an amalgamation of different languages and cultures. I'd argue that European civilization was based on the competition between those groups, which drove innovation, especially in the early Modern period.

Certain situations were by definition multicultural, because they involved a number of different cultures.

I have no clue what this means. None of these countries, not even what we know about Troy (which possibly spoke Luwain of the Hitties rather than Greek), share cultures or languages, or even religious denominations.

This is the best description I've seen, From the movie Network:

Jensen: You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it!! Is that clear?! You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state -- Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.

We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.

And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.

Beale: But why me?

Jensen: Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.



Beale: I have seen the face of God.

Jensen: You just might be right, Mr. Beale.

It will be destroyed. You can see the attitude that destroys it on here. People don't have the strong moral values that made this country great and most people seem to dislike religion of any kind and prefer relative morality or morality based on opinion.

Why does this matter? Because religious people have more children, stay married longer, and pass on values to those kids.

That's been dying for a few decades now.


You will never meet a large family of atheists or agnostics. You know most large families are catholics, Mormons, Jews, or evangelical Christians.

Many don't realize it, but most here are a product of a society with judeo-Christian values, whether you were a highly devout church goer or not. Sadly there's no alternative, as I said earlier, morality becomes relative and marriage and children become shackles instead of valued pieces to make ones life fulfilling.


Muslims by their religious devotion naturally have many kids.


We will be replaced by them soon at this rate. No marriage, no children, no population replacement, no growth.

Yep. Our culture no longer values families. It's too "bourgeois " or the economy has taken child rearing years away with financial responsibilities that make having a child difficult. I think the fall of religion has contributed to this decline and we've taken for granted what's actually resulting from this attack. I don't know how to explain it and no I don't think everyone should be super church everyday Christians or the like, but there's something to be said for the system of values based in religious doctrine, at the least the religions that have prevailed in our country.

A lot of it is economic and technological in nature.

The economy today is so much more intensely competitive than anything previous generations had to face. In the 19th century, you had stories like Abraham Lincoln becoming a self-educated lawyer being common. But somewhere along the line, society started demanding much more time investment for children.

It used to be nobody paid too much attention to what kids were doing. Then came the yuppies fighting over preschools and PTA conferences and safety helmets and daycare centers. None of that crap existed before.

The ancient world was based more on extended kin and clans, and frontier culture of America was based more on nuclear settler families. But that usually just meant making the kids go to Sunday school and the village schoolhouse, and that was about it. Now we have student loans being greater than auto loans in this country. It's incredible.

All of which is to say that it's hard to fault people for not wanting to have kids as much. The financial burden in work-years of having kids is greater than it has ever been before, by several multiples.

Some of this is due to anti-family-growth policies and women-in-the-workforce and contraceptives and an entitlement system that is designed to help the elderly at the expense of the young (which is part of what makes it necessary for women to work to afford decent housing). However, a lot of it is just due to the technological nature of the corporate work world today, and how much educational investment is required to be considered a successful adult.

In the history of the world, we've never been in a demographic situation like what we are facing right now. Historically speaking, nobody knows what it's like to have gradually decreasing population growth and aging demographics at the same time.

Check out this resource on global demographics at LINK.



We are somewhere near the 3/4 border in the U.S., and that "population pyramid" on the bottom row keeps bulging upward. Only when that pyramid stabilizes will our entitlement system and family laws and practices start to look more rational and stable.

All of this necessarily affects our cultural sexual attitudes and adherence to religious traditions as well.

Not really. Religion is the product of values that already existed and it arose out of that - not the other way around. Having lots of kids was not only a safety measure against infant and juvenile mortality, it provided labor and security.

Anyway, Europe lost most of its population in the middle ages due to plague, and they didn't cease to exist. This is how we know that the "birth rates! we need muzzies for labor NOW!" bullshite is bullshite.

As for the value in mixing the "cultures," Greece and Italy were once wellsprings of innovation. Not so much now. The Renaissance artists were northern Italians. The southerners are basically just a bunch of dumbasses.

The foundation for American greatness was laid in the 19th century by cutthroat business monopolies and was punctuated when we vaporized 200 thousand Japanese citizens with the most powerful weapon ever built.

Morality and religion had shite to do with it. This country was built through ambition, ingenuity and a system that allowed those traits to be expressed on unprecented levels.

How do you figure? Some form of religion was born from the fundamental questions of existence of the world and humans place in it. There are very different religions, but there was always the questions of why and how. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries came in the midst of religious thinking. It's simply the asking of fundamental questions.

Not everyone believed the sun rose and fell the same way, but nonetheless they all sought an answer for its very existence, or why things fell to earth (one explanation being the earth was the center of all things), or why some things were wet vs dry (Socrates fundamental elements-could be considered a precursor to solid, liquid, gas).

The different religions are all attempting to answer the great questions of life differently. They all lead to different paths generally. So they're not all equal and compatible although there are some very large similarities between some segments.


I think the idea that we should just eliminate religion is ridiculous. You'd relegate everyone to pure materialism and create an environment of savagery for the competition of material things, because what else is the point of life if you just become dust upon death?

What motivation would there be to care for the poor or the weak? What's the point if you have to give up your resources? Or why shouldn't you lead others to failure if it makes you successful?

You see my point. There's emphatically no universal standard of morality that people subscribe to and to think they do is naive.

Do I think there is a universal standard of morality that would function best ? Yes, of course

So there were no universal values strongly held across the American populace in that time? It was 100% economic and no other reason at all?

It was the economic and political systems in place which allowed ambition and ingenuity to thrive and be amplified.

America is the best because we are the best at making money and killing people. Everything else is fancy side garnishing.
