I've been thinking about this here and there: why would people want to tear down a healthy society that they themselves are living in? My suspicion is that some, not all, are driven by a gut feeling that they suck and can't compete or are seriously envious of the middle class people they're constantly targeting.
I also think many are autistic and thereby have little common sense.
Many liberals are also psychopaths, I believe.
What do you think?

that's exactly it
in a meritocracy only the strong succeed. people who know that they tend to win in most situations therefore vote for such systems. when an individual is strong, intelligent, and has life experiences to show that time and time again he comes out on top in competitions, he wants the free market, unhindered and pure.
on the contrary, the people who know they're weak, and can't succeed when in direct competition with others need to muddy the waters to get ahead. or even to have a chance. so they're drawn to big government, socialism, to obstructing the success of the individual and demanding repatriation of wealth to the entire group.
it's almost like if you watch a football match between a great team and a crappy one. the great team wants to play pure football. the crappy one knows they stand no chance, so they obstruct, obscure, stifle, cheat as much as possible, and ruin the game so that they might win on a fluke or technicality.

I think liberals are plain retarded and just can't think like a normal human.

What football are you referring to in this match bro?
-
there's also many more losers than winners in the world (obviously... the few strong rise, the masses get left behind), so support for socialism and liberalism is an inherit feature of any population just because of the natural distribution of ability.
as you get to each progressively higher level of skill, there are less and less people there.
few winners, many losers, and the losers band together to stifle and obstruct individual success

soccer.

Good post!
I also think it can partly stem from many of them having all sorts of perversions, hangups, neuroses, and vices. It's kind of like the transgender phenomenon. I don't think they have "pride" no matter how much they boast of it. So instead of dealing with one's own issue in a constructive way, they just decide to bother the fuck or even harrass or attack normal people, especially normal whites.
Do you think that holds any weight too?
-
Liberals seem to have a very distorted view of the world. They see it as a kind and gentle place that's always being exploited by man. The truth is the exact opposite. Nature is very cruel and unforgiving, The ocean doesn't give a shit if you drown. Floods, hurricanes and tornadoes don't give a shit if they destroy your house.
The only reason most of us have a reasonably comfortable life because of the productive efforts of man.

absolutely. they have no pride -- all they have is shame. as they should, the behaviors they engage in are NATURALLY SHAMEFUL.
shame is a way for the human, a complex social creature, to know that what he is doing is wrong.
they are trying to override the feelings of shame and disgust, almost to turn the table on us, the people who actually think the degeneracy is wrong, and try to shame US for thinking that way (the normal, regular way).
nature = man fucks woman, woman fucks man. nothing else.
but they build up this artificial construct of "pride" as a way to try lessening the shame. yet of course, they can't -- the shame comes from deep, deep down. they're putting on veneer on an old, crumbling floor and claiming it's perfect and new.
no. it's rotten underneath. and all the freaks who fall into this sort of ideological thinking suffer from immense cognitive dissonance, even if they're unaware of it, and that just furthers their neuroticism toward the world. it's a vicious cycle.
and it comes from weak minds. minds that have been corrupted and twisted through the horrible education system in the west. ie, the fourth grade REQUIRED READING LIST in california now includes "Jacob's new dress." Common core math now asks questions such as "how do you make 10 from 8 and 5?" A smart kid answers "you cannot make ten from eight and five," teacher says WRONG, YOU CAN, and goes through some convoluted explanation that makes literally no logical sense:
(http://thefederalistpapers.integratedmarket.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/common-core-math-problem.jpg)
so the hard sciences and hard subjects are eroding and crumbling into decay, soft bullshit like gender studies takes prominence, and kids are raised outside of the influence of the family (mothers go to work, ffs who thought of that, mothers need to STAY AT HOME AND RAISE CHILDREN, that is their #1 calling. not nannies raising kids, not daycares raising kids, MOTHERS), and the societal rot runs deep, america is morally and culturally bankrupt, we'll have a bit of a renaissance with gen z (the kids who are 13, 14, 15 today), but the ones who are children, being born to these libtard freaks who are in the 20s and 30s today, are going to be even more badly damaged than their parents

This makes me very concerned in raising my own kid! I mean seriously!

Many are having their bills paid for by others, either welfare state or parents of means. So many of the weak pussy protest crowd are upper middle class or higher spoiled kids who never worked a day in their life.

i left the best university in the world two years in because it was fucking garbage, liberal trash (though i didn't know that *that* was the reason at the time), ten years ago
(well actually i got in ten years ago and left in 2010/2011, after two years of study, one year off, one month back and then gone for good since a few ventures took off and I was making excellent $$)
i pulled my younger brother out of university his first year
i pulled my younger younger brother, born in '97, out of HIGH SCHOOL in grade eleven.
when it's time for me to have kids, i would never in a million years raise them in the west. probably in russia, because i'm a huge fan of what putin's done. ofc i'd have to learn russian for that....
otherwise in the FSU countries, or the visegrad block, or something in eastern europe where traditional values still hold true.
but russia is the big power, i think, that rejects all this fucking garbage killing the west

Fair point. But I've also heard liberal Views espoused by upper class folks on occasion, though in alll cases they were from a doughy limp wrist.
Then there are those who are not liberal who are all for immigration so long as such immigrants are "hard working", thereby making it difficult for their own damn children go get a job.

we all don't really mind immigration so long as it's LEGAL and the country has safeguards in place against foreign conquest of their land by other nations due to ASSIMILATION and INTEGRATION laws.
for example, canada has none of that, so the west coast is being colonized by china all legal and nice

(japan does a great job ensuring assimilation, fyi)

Jordan Petersen had talked about this last year on Joe Rogan's podcast.
Here he is this year, "Sort Yourself Out"
-
peterson is good for the blue pill crowd, but for some reason i don't really like him -- he's too soft for me.
like he says good things, but i keep waiting for something PROFOUND and i've never found it
on the flipside, i found it in Inessa S's translations of putin speaking (directly, first-hand source, no media filter)
check out the Inessa S youtube channel for anybody curious. i had no idea putin was that smart before a month ago, when i stumbled on that channel randomly
putin talks about the downfall of the west, corruption of values, etc etc etc, all the stuff we hate
-
Many of the liberals are kids whose parents float them through college and well past, and were indoctrinated during higher education to the "enlightened" sensibilities of being a pussy.
Concerning the immigration, it's tied to welfare, education, health care, crime, everything. Many would not care at all if they were here illegally, if they were not also taking all of these public services to the tune of 100 billion plus a year.

Legal immigration is not good either as it stifles the wages and entry into jobs for those already here! Not to mention continuing to change our entire culture!

Another issue is a cognitive dissonance and a lack of understanding of economic laws. For example, the whole free college thing.
Do you really think that the people who support this have given a moment of thought to whether the professors will be working for free or the administrative staff, or the maintenance staff etc.?

To me he is straightforward, simple. My expectations for him is that of a profound sage, but someone who points out what we pass by everyday, yet ignore.
Putin makes a good point, but he is trying to re-unify the old Soviet Union. He also has to deal with the massive corruption of his own country and keep the oligarchy happy, yet keep them contained. I mean their military is in dire need of upgrading, tanks falling apart, aircraft carriers in abysmal condition, and jets needing upgrading or replacing. If only he had our defense budget.

What percentage of the military budget would fund state schools? Idk but I'm guessing it would be a small slice of the pie and money better spent.
It would yield a better educational result than the current business model which is perfectly willing to churn out retards as long as they'll accept the uni mortgage.

The reality is most of the education infrastructure has been rendered obsolete due to online learning and distance-learning. There are much more efficient ways to learn most subjects. The ones that require infrastructure ar generally hands-on things like engineering, and the hard sciences.

Way too much generalization here. Boatloads of liberals are found in rich precincts, so the loser theory doesn't really work. Another example is that Trump voters tended to have less income in general and I would not describe them as liberal. Hard to explain why some people go one way and others the other way. How your parents and people around you think is probably the biggest factor. A friend's son was very conservative like my friend as a teenager. But he got into Harvard and he's changing fast.

Environment is certainly a big factor. I occasionally listen to Joe Rogan's podcast. I get the feeling that had he not gone into show business and been just a regular guy working construction or something he would be conservative, but being surrounded by liberals for so long has affected his mind.

One of the biggest issues that will be faced in the future is elderly care. As the very large Baby Boomer population ages, they will need services. Home healthcare,mental care, And places for Assisted Living and various other services. It's something that will overwhelm us in the next few years.
The educational system also needs to focus on development of vocational skills. Not everybody is cut out for college. And having a learned skill will help keep people employed. Problem is, vocational schools are looked down upon.

Universities aren't free now and are regarded as hotbeds of antifa and trannyism. Can't see you arguing in favor of the current system.

I'll go with that. The intellectual elitism once associated with these places is offensive anyway. And, given the quality of their product these days, awful tough to carry off.
thomas Sowell covers this. And so has Milton Friedman
Poorly. For every price controlled disaster we can point to a similarly damaging market mistake. Housing crunch, stock whoopsies x100, tulip bulb mania.
He never addresses things that are tax funded yet miraculously work. Police. Military. Even primary and secondary school. Then everyone acts like you're from Mars if you suggest similar funding for tertiary school.
-

That is quite true. But, there is no denying that something will need to be done. When you have someone who is living in Assisted Living, and has medical issues, on a fixed income, needs to be taken to doctor's appointments, needs bills paid, needs surgery, etc. And you have to go through hoops to get this, and that, and that person cannot afford the above mentioned list, and then you have to call for XYZ to see if you are eligible for XYZ funds. It gets tiresome for the people. And since no one is prepared for the onset of all these baby boomers, add to that people are living longer, you have a giant on the horizon to deal with. The question is how?

which deregulated industry has ever worked in the history of america, for the people?
banks?
energy and utilities?
airlines?
the only one that kinda worked was the trucking industry and that came at the expense of how many jobs?

That you think the banks are a deregulated industry speaks volumes.
The banking industry has a central planning agency called the federal reserve which has complete control over the most important market price: the price of money.
One of the more lightly regulated industries is technology and not surprisingly the United States has most of the best companies in the world.

no. it's rotten underneath. and all the freaks who fall into this sort of ideological thinking suffer from immense cognitive dissonance, even if they're unaware of it, and that just furthers their neuroticism toward the world. it's a vicious cycle.
and it comes from weak minds. minds that have been corrupted and twisted through the horrible education system in the west. ie, the fourth grade REQUIRED READING LIST in california now includes "Jacob's new dress." Common core math now asks questions such as "how do you make 10 from 8 and 5?" A smart kid answers "you cannot make ten from eight and five," teacher says WRONG, YOU CAN, and goes through some convoluted explanation that makes literally no logical sense:
(http://thefederalistpapers.integratedmarket.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/common-core-math-problem.jpg)
so the hard sciences and hard subjects are eroding and crumbling into decay, soft bullshit like gender studies takes prominence, and kids are raised outside of the influence of the family (mothers go to work, ffs who thought of that, mothers need to STAY AT HOME AND RAISE CHILDREN, that is their #1 calling. not nannies raising kids, not daycares raising kids, MOTHERS), and the societal rot runs deep, america is morally and culturally bankrupt, we'll have a bit of a renaissance with gen z (the kids who are 13, 14, 15 today), but the ones who are children, being born to these libtard freaks who are in the 20s and 30s today, are going to be even more badly damaged than their parents
The thought that is there is no truth but my truth.
Sad state of affairs we are in.

One of the biggest issues that will be faced in the future is elderly care. As the very large Baby Boomer population ages, they will need services. Home healthcare,mental care, And places for Assisted Living and various other services. It's something that will overwhelm us in the next few years.
The educational system also needs to focus on development of vocational skills. Not everybody is cut out for college. And having a learned skill will help keep people employed. Problem is, vocational schools are looked down upon.
The baby boomer generation is and has been entering that phase, it will overwhelm us temporarily as they will on the downside of life. The problem will be when their generation breathes it's last breath, then all the resources and money coming in from their aging is gone.

Problem is the myth of all people being created equal. We used to acknowledge idiots....you know a kids an idiot by 3rd grade so we used to stick him in shop...preparing him for a life of manual labor. By high school, we had auto shop...idiots could go on and be mechanics...various types of tradesman.
Now no more auto shop...no more tests scores so idiots are fucked. Idiots are told to go to college...were all equal so idiots sit in math classes with asians and wonder what the fuck is wrong with them.
So they become liberals....hence the connection between liberalism and being an idiot. They realize they can still Get a college degree by simply majoring in Cultural studies or related liberal created bullshit....
No more requirements...no more competition...end goal of liberalism
Then when the smart math and science majors run the world....simply proclaim they cheated and aren't paying enough taxes....

Universities aren't free now and are regarded as hotbeds of antifa and trannyism. Can't see you arguing in favor of the current system.
Dude ofc I'm not arguing for the current system, I was responding to the suggestion that we funnel MORE MONEY into the current system and let it grow

Yeah there was a big Lib meltdown over it, but the thing is he didn't even bring it up it was the host who brought it up and then pressed him on it. Then when he gave the honest answer, they couldn't handle it.
The cool part is that he refused to apologize. That's how you need to handle these people. Tell them to go fuck themselves.

Further, I do not agree with reducing everything to a mental disorder (autism).
It waters down the true nature of autism and those who truly struggle with the mental disorder.
These people (liberals) are just idiots--not all of them. I know many reasonable liberals.
But the ones that are erratic and idiotic, are not because of a mental disorder. They are just idiotic for a lot of other reasons.

Although this looks like it was written by someone who should have been in shop classes himself ( ;D ) I have to agree with this. Recently I heard that 70% of high school graduates go on to college. Is that correct? Because that would seriously devalue college degrees. They are supposed to be for the ones who excel, the elite.
And this is the core of the problem: liberals assuming there is no difference in culture, intelligence, nothing. By that reasoning everyone MUST end up having the same, doing the same, being the same. As someone else said earlier, the weak need the state to bring their betters down, the strong see the state as keeping them from developing.
Mind that I do not conflate strong with wealthy. In fact at one time in my youth I did receive unemployment benefits. Yet I got off them a.s.a.p. because I felt disgusting for receiving them, as I knew I was committed/strong/intelligent enough to make my own money.

Yes, let's not call liberals autistic. For a very practical reason: Due to their condition many (and certainly in my experience absolutely every single one) are staunch conservatives.
-
It all depends on how you define "liberal". I have no major issues with classical liberals. Someone who is fair and balanced, believes in liberty and who are willing to engage with those whom they disagree with.
What I dislike is the far left. The progressives, the marxists and communists. These are fanatical ideologues and imo, pose a far greater threat to Western civilisation then anything else.
-
Why don't we start calling liberalism what it is? An attack on white men. Liberals really don't have issues with anyone else.
It's an attack on success. If tomorrow Asian men dominated the political debate, they would suddenly be the enemy. They attack power because they claim that power cannot exist without oppression. All about the hierarchy: white women are oppressed by white men. But white women are also privileged when compared to black women. White heterosexual men just happen to outperform most races, genders, etc. If all white men dropped dead tomorrow, white women would be the new enemy. If they dropped dead, then the next successful group would become the enemy.
There is no thought behind this other than 'if you have power you must have oppressed someone to get that power'. As pointed out by many: the mindset of in-competitive losers.

So you are saying the teacher is wrong? Because they clearly state that you take 2 from 5, add it to 8, making 10, and then add 3. But then it is no longer 10, it's 13.
If the question was: 'when you have a summation of 8 + 5, it can also be represented as 10 + ...', then it would be fine.
-
I've been thinking about this here and there: why would people want to tear down a healthy society that they themselves are living in? My suspicion is that some, not all, are driven by a gut feeling that they suck and can't compete or are seriously envious of the middle class people they're constantly targeting.
I also think many are autistic and thereby have little common sense.
Many liberals are also psychopaths, I believe.
What do you think?
They believe that a strong, empowered, centralized government will take care of all of society's problems and create a utopia. Instead, it creates a tyranny and poverty.

You take The People's 5 from the Tsarist 8 and add it to the 5 according to it's need. Then you liberate the 3 from the exploitative capitalists and return it to the productive workers.

That you think the banks are a deregulated industry speaks volumes.
The banking industry has a central planning agency called the federal reserve which has complete control over the most important market price: the price of money.
One of the more lightly regulated industries is technology and not surprisingly the United States has most of the best companies in the world.
that is a well thought out post. but accccctually, if you look at the what top US tech companies(apple, amazon, google microsoft), all of them pretty much follow a near socialist protocol with regards to their treatment of employees.

You don't even understand the ideology you advocate. Socialism has nothing to do with how a company treats its employees. It comes down to distribution of goods and services. In a socialist economy, it's the government. In a free market economy,it's the private sector.
In North Korea and South Korea you have a pretty good distinction with the typical results:

Giving out student loans to anybody who sticks out their hands not only has jacked up tuition costs to absurd levels but it has created an excess supply in majors for which there's very little market demand.
That's why there's so many people who can't get jobs in their major. Meanwhile, they are saddled with student loan debt and can't move out of the basement, buy their own house and start a family. It's yet another failed government intervention.

America is a Nation of Idiots....think of american Cinema, Art, Cuisine
Travel around the World and see how many people will pay good money for authentic "American" cuisine...the whole world knows its shit greasy food with big enough portions to make up for the quality.
Acknowlegding you are an idiot and need to work harder than others at menial tasks is the American Way...always has been....
Until now...where we all have bought into the college scam
Same shit with bodybuilding...we are ALL gym rats...shot idiot gym rats with shit genetics...even with Gh and tren and all of it.....you are a gym rat and can't compete with the physiques of black bodybuilders..be a Rich piana that knew his physique was shit but made a ton of money appealing to idiots......
America is a nation of HARD WORKING IDIOTS.....that's how we were made...accept it...nothing wrong with that.....be a mechanic that hooks a valve pump up for $500 plus labor...something a 5 year old could do.....

He's never contributed anything valuable towards society so has a chip on his shoulder and needs to keep telling himself why he's better than people 'below him'.

It's actually quite nervy to belittle the people that produce the items we use or even in which we live!
We work and reside in buildings and use cars, plumbing, refrigeration, air conditioning, cars, railroads and subways, and tools, and drive on roads and bridges and we have pompous smart-alecks who scoff at those who build, provide, and maintain such things!
I also have a good degree and live a good standard, but I will never look down on anyone. Only a worthless scumbag piece of shit would look down on people who are creating things and doing honest work.
I have an advanced degree, and although I am not rich, I live a good middle-class, modest lifestyle, while recognizing that and knowing there are some tradesmen living a BETTER lifestyle than me, as well as having more future security and benefits than I have. I do have great health insurance though.
I think when my child reaches his teenage years--at a time when liberalism will have destroyed society farther than it has if not stopped--I will be steering him away from the pathetic liberal dungeons and adult sleep-away camps we call universities these days and have him enter a trade in which mostly real men work.
Just as an aside, although my view might be tainted considering I live in a liberal, multicultural area, while going into various places of business, I often ask myself, "Do men even work anymore?" Practically everywhere I go, I see the majority of staff being women.

Trump recently had a big tech summit at the White House. Many of the heavy hitters attended including Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook. At the end, Trump asked them to say a few words on what they thought about the state of government computing. To a man they said it was largely inadequate. However, Tim Cook added that he believes strongly that coding should be included in school curriculums.
Now, I'm pretty sure Tim Cook has a brain bigger than mine but did it never occur to him to ask why this isn't the case already? It's 2017. Does the US government not believe that knowing about computers is kinda important?

Why is this any different than any other class that is taught in school? The problem is that when it comes to the government everything gets bogged down in politics and you can't make timely changes.
At this point, it doesn't really matter. Most of the educational infrastructure has been rendered obsolete because of the Internet and online learning. Most subjects can be learned much more efficiently without sitting in some government classroom surrounded by 30 other people.
There was a Google vice president who taught a class in artificial intelligence both classroom and online. He said the online students smoked the classroom.

Coding/programming is a specialized skill that- statistically- the average school teacher is not likely to possess. Knowledge of one language does not necessarily transfer to another language. Languages change with new iterations, some have a higher value in the job market. There has been a major push in the last few years where school districts have worked in conjunction with the tech industry to bring coding lessons into the classroom. There is a cost of equipment and learning materials related to teaching coding that is different from math or biology. There is a dependence on new technology, that english and social studies didn't require 5 years ago. What would you be doing differently that school districts don't have figured out?

Why does it have to be the average teacher teaching these classes? Why can't you hire specialized computer instructors? The cost excuse is always a good one to rationalize failure. I do agree with you that it's a rapidly changing field but you could still teach the kids the basics. Computer programming is not an area of expertise for me but from what I understand, programs have basic structures that transfer over to all languages.
But as I said, the future is in online learning anyway. It's way more efficient and versatile than the classroom model in most cases. I don't expect to see it to implemented soon as it would put too many government employees out of work. The Internet actually exposed why teacher don't make a lot of money. They're redundant. One online course can replace thousands of teachers.
I remember Obama always telling people to become teachers, steering people to an industry that's clearly about to be downsized. Of course he was just a mouthpiece for the teachers union.

I'm a bit more optimistic.
The savages are mainly killing each other:
Even for the West Side, the last 24 hours had been furiously violent: Three triple shootings and a double homicide within four miles of each other.

I am a liberal and consider myself to share a lot of values with conservatives.
What we are seeing from The Left nowadays isn't liberalism. The Left has been hijacked by the communist/anarchist types, and since they can't win the trust of The People via voting/campaigning, they are now calling for widespread civil unrest. THIS is the fucked up part, or at the very least the part where The Left and my support for the movement part ways.
True anarchists do not respond to ANY government calls for anything. This is why people believe The Left is full of shit and their candidates can't get voted into office.

How is the mass hiring of teachers specifically for one subject an "excuse"? Especially when you say that within the same post where you say the profession as a whole is obsolete and ineffective?

Anarchists don't realize that with anarchy and chaos, comes a "strong man" and usually that ain't pretty.

The alpha males always eventually take over.
And with the taking over comes a fair bit of brutality.
Enough to send the betas into a frenzy that is.

I was just making a point about government being an inefficient allocator of resources. It's Tim Cook's idea not mine.
But, you know what? You're right. It's a lost cause. Better to not throw good money after bad:
http://nypost.com/2017/09/02/inside-the-nyc-schools-critics-call-failure-factories/
At 32 city elementary and middle schools, the average English-math proficiency rate on state exams has not exceeded 10 percent of students for four years in a row.
Seventeen of these schools — which enroll nearly 10,000 kids — have been part of the mayor’s signature Renewal program, which has spent $582 million on teacher training, social services and an extra hour a day of instruction. Four did so poorly that the city Department of Education closed them in June.
Education experts say the schools, where 96 percent of students are black and Hispanic, take a bigger share of homeless, transient and English-learning kids. The 32 schools also enrolled an average 28 percent of students with disabilities, up from 26 percent four years ago.

Obviously, I never get sick of hearing how right I am, but I didn't say anything was a lost cause. There will always be underperforming schools. If they underperform with math and reading, why wouldn't that be the case in a subject in which the teacher has a limited understanding of a subject?

no no, you're wrong, because you haven't been given the data. the west is dying.
a culture has a 25 year life span. over that time period, it needs a fecundity (reproduction) rate of 2.1 per human to sustain itself. so 2.1 babies per adult.
a 1.9 fecundity rate has never been reversed historically. any culture that's gotten that low has died out. 1.3 is statistically impossible to reverse.
here are the current fecundity rates of the native populations of the following countries:
france = 1.8
england = 1.6
greece = 1.3
germany = 1.3
italy = 1.2
spain = 1.1
...starting to see the problem? remember that 2.1 is the minimum for replacement. all of these are below.
now, across the entire EU bloc, the fecundity rate is 1.38
1.38!!
now take a look at the savages (muslims).
since the 1990s, 90% of immigration into the EU has been muslim.
in france, real french people have a fecundity of 1.8... and muslims who've immigrated there have a fecundity of 8.1
demographics alone show that the end is near for the west.
BEFORE the migrant wave of 2015 onward, stats showed that 29 years from now france would be a fully muslim republic.
in the netherlands, ten year ago, 50% of newborns were muzzies.
five years from now, HALF of the netherlands will be muslim
in germany, the government released this statement in 2007 -- so again, NOT COUNTING for the muslim and african flux: |the fall in the [german] population can no longer be stopped. its downward spiral is no longer reversible. [...] it will be a muslim state by the year 2050"
in 2010, stats showed that europe will have 104 MILLION muslims... now it's much higher because of the genocidal migration policies implemented in 2015 on.
canda and us are the same.. fecundity of 1.6. the american fecundity rate gets pushed up to 2.1 when you take into account immigrating latinos..
so there you go. savages are going to take over. france, germany, holland will be muslim republics in a few decades. there is no nation on earth that is a "post-muslim" nation. once islam takes hold, its control is absolute.
egypt, iraq, pakistan, turkey, none of these were muslim countries before they got invaded.
"as civilization reaches its end, intelligent humans begin to question if it's worth while to reproduce" —> that's pretty much us (white and/or westernised folk) now

There are Dems and there are Libtards (extremists). There are Republicans and there are "Right Wing Whack Jobs".
Hard to stay in the "middle of the road" these days (as I always tried) w/ media just shoving stuff down your throat.
Gonna try harder while trying to ignore media. (Hard to do these days w/ everything splashed across every website out there).

I saw a problem with Europe even before the Muslim invasion. It had been infected by socialism to the point where entrepreneurship was pretty much dead. If you look at all the best European companies they're all 100 years old. Where is the Apple of Europe? The Amazon? The Uber? The Home Depot? Who are the great European entrepreneurs?

The Western Roman Empire let in hundreds of thousands of fleeing Barbarian refugees near 400 AD and in 476 AD those same 'refugees' controlled the entire Western Roman Empire, including North Africa.
Once they're inside the territory, their numbers increase, they get more political leverage, can make demands and threats, and eventually win control of the territory via political or other means.
At the same time, the central governments tax base weakens, their army and police get weaker and have to abandon areas, their money gets weaker, living standards decrease, production goes down, resources get less, violence increases, the government starts ruling from a shrinking enclave, areas claim independence, and the whole territory starts to fragment and break apart.
