Long-running problems don't stop being problems simply because they've endured. Slavery, for instance, ran longer than political correctness and yet -- like prior systems, including feudal serfdom -- it was a horrible thing.

European countries always remained majority homogeneous. Well to be fair not all did like rome but we know how that ended.

Also you're comparing similar cultures on the same continent living together in 1 country

And what are you talking about that there's no social evidence of multiculturalism failing? Observable evidence is a thing. The confrontation you see everyday between people in multicultural countries is insane.

One thing you keep forgetting is that every ethnic people want a piece of land for their own.

But none of this even matters because of the core issue. Idebtiy and culture is something people want their own to be in charge of, not outside forces.

Go ahead, rationalize away fellas.

I believe things are getting generally better, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us.

I'd also like to add "political correctness" as a huge problem facing society.

There is no way in Odin's bearded blue balls they have the technology to fire a missile across the pacific ocean.

US Intelligence believes that the NK-20 coverage area would include the US West Coast, Chicago, and possibly even New York with a substantially reduced payload.

If only there was some sort of online, commercial-free, way to watch entire seasons of television without breaks ...

Netflix doesn't have the shows I want to watch.

Are you trying to compare the amount of ancient immigration to the amount we have today? You're trying to compare a few thousand immigrants or less per year in ancient times to hundreds of thousands to 1 million+ today?

Come on man. Whether you like it or not homogeneous countries exist in the world for a reason. And that reason is tribal.

Homogenous countries like Germany or Japan have existed for countless generations since ancient times. The people there have a history of blood, sweat and tears from protecting their land. The history and culture that's unique to only Germany and Japan, to those ethnic people, is their identity, a shared identity and culture and history that nobody else in the world has.

Specifically the sheer speed of it. Western European countries that are homogeneous or at least mostly homogeneous like Germany and France are having so much immigration that it's a shock to the system. These western countries can't adapt to or incorporate all these different cultures into their OWN culture fast enough to make it a melting pot and instead they're getting a salad bowl.

It's hard to argue against the social evidence that the way multiculturalism has been tried in the last 50 years has had many negatives in western Europe and the tensions are only rising.

So again whether you like it or not, whether you want to argue semantics, non of that matters. Everyone wants to preserve their heritage over the the long and you're going to have a heck of a hard time convincing them otherwise.

You can partake in globalism when it comes to trade and simply working with other countries.

But there is no argument that you can use to prove that globalism in the form of mass immigration doesn't change the identity or culture of the host country. Every western country in Europe that's receiving mass immigration is losing its ethnic and cultural identity. Whether you like this or not it's happening.

So I don't support isolationist nationalism on the world stage, I simply support the refusal of mass immigration in order to preserve identity and culture.

Its more powerful than you think.

He got old and gained weight.

I've only read through one book over the last ~15 years, so no.

It's not necessary in an age where we have the internet and video games. I know there are good reasons for preferring books over other forms of media, but it's just not for me.

And what's the alternative to nationalism? Extreme globalism?

So on one hand you have nationalism which bonds people together and gives them a sense of identity and belonging. My country my people first. Done right you get countries like Japan. While not perfect, they're still a testimony that it can be done right.

On the other hand you have globalism which strips you of identity and belonging slowly by muddying the lines between what it means to be French and why should France be for the French instead of everybody? Eventually your country gets striped of its original identity and history and your land doesn't belong to you anymore.

I'd take nationalism any day over shitty globalism.

He is such as dumpster fire. He is like an amalgamation of every single 'stupid American' cliches in television and film. He's probably too extreme to even be a Simpsons character.

It's funny because in pre-cancellation Family Guy, there's an episode where Brian falls in love with an 80/90 year old woman and Lois encourages that relationship.

Yeah, somewhere around Season 6 or 7 the characters just completely changed. Peter became an idiot manchild instead of an average dopey dad, Lois became a complete bitch instead of a loving mom with a dark past, Chris became a small version of Peter instead of an artsitic but awkward teen, Meg went from being a whiny teenager to being a suicidal punching bag, Brian went from level headed center of the family to a preachy liberal hypocrite, and Stewie went from a menacing, highly intelligent baby to a constant stream of gay double entendres. The show used to be a parody of family based sitcoms, but it turned into a parody of itself. The show used to make fun of the racist and sexist things Peter said by showing him to be an idiot, then it just started playing all those stereotypes straight.

From what I heard, Seth MacFarlane actually planned to end the show long ago, but Fox wanted none of that because of the DVD sales.

You say this like he has a single shred of artistic integrity.

How come the people that make these topics only ever post about skinny teen brunettes and blondes with no tits or curves?

As a ... fan... of these topics, I can assure you that is not the case, at all. But when people make topics about women of color, or older ladies or thicker girls, the topics are usually ignored by most or only have a few responses, most of which is complaining about the choice of ladies the TC is into.

Well, after someone decided they wanted to skin the dogs, anyways.

I never understood DnD
