@ PhilG - you live in Great Britain, correct? Can I ask why you are so enamored with American politics? Are you a US citizen living abroad? Seems weird to have such strong opinions about a country you don't even reside in.

Man... I can resonate with you on such a deep level lol. My heart is heavy for the deaths of our cultures. Keep your head up, it's all you really can do at this point. 

Obviously there are those who enjoy all this cultural enrichment.

Again, “the actual bill” versus the media-spin. 

It’s being reported by DailyMail which should tell you which direction of spin it has. It’s a proposed bill in the state legislature and yet they report is as “WYOMING TO BAN EV”

Because everything that happens there comes here. 

Just like 2016 to 2020 was great over there , it was great here too. 

And now we are getting all the same shit you are . 

For all the same reasons.

Yeah didn't you know, white countries have "magical soil" and when the other "refugees" step foot on it, they assimilate immediately and become a net positive! I love diversity.

The downvotes crack me up. It's wikipedia tier statistics that European culture is being "immigrated" out of existence and outbred and people scoff.

If you hate your past, you'll really hate your future.

What culture exactly? Is that just a euphemism for "all-white" blood?

You've got to be kidding me lol. European/American culture is so niche or subtle that you can only describe it as "white"? You deserve everything you get.

I'm thinking the same people that started farming, high level government, medicine among the rest are a people worth keeping unique.

Outbred: Incoming populations generally tend to have larger families and reproduce at higher rates. More there, but thats basically true across the board.

White countries: The reception of large scale immigration are countries with majority white populations. Kenyans are not migrating to Ghana in large quantities the same way they are to finland.

Dude, you can knit pick my verbiage all you want. It is not the point. I can use shrouded language and buzzwords but then the conversation has no resolution.

I was just asking what aspects of European/white culture you think are being lost.

Music, behavioral norms, societal homogeneity are some. Low hanging fruit i guess.

Let me ask this: What aspects of American culture are being better preserved and perpetuated by adopting out groups?

I have done my part...my duty...my privilege...to introduce every immigrant I've worked with and become friends with to America and it's best social norms.

Beer, bbq, pickup trucks, dirt roads, fishing, tittie bars, beer, shootin' guns, camping, beer, rock and roll, horseshoes, beer... everything that makes this the best damn place on earth.

I never knew one of 'em that didn't understand that all this country has to offer comes at a price...hard fucking work and gettin' along.  They are usually better citizens than native born.

That's like...just my opinion...man.Cool

You showed them your hobbies, not your culture. You may not agree but there's a big difference in two guys mudbogging together and maintaining a culture together. But, thats just my opinion too i guess. Only one of us can be right though Smile

Music, behavioral norms, societal homogeneity are some. Low hanging fruit i guess.

Let me ask this: What aspects of American culture are being better preserved and perpetuated by adopting out groups? 

The whole catalog of the history of the world's music is available to anyone for $10 a month. "Black" music was gaining popularity a long time ago and my people's music, polka, was seen as an invading pest back then at the turn of the 20th century. 

Behavioral norms? Isn't that what America is built on? Independence, the ability to be a little weird, fuck your feelings? I've certainly seen the F-word proudly displayed publicly alot recently not by immigrants.

The splintering of societal homogeneity has been happening for a while and seems to have been accelerated with each new technology. Printing press, radio, television, internet. We have lost the monoculture, not everyone watches the same TV shows at the same time every night anymore, that's not the end of the world. I wouldn't say societal homogeneity is a European thing really, and certainly not an American thing, just look at how many accents we have here and none of them held on to sounding very British unlike the Aussie's.

Perhaps adopting out-groups has raised awareness of some aspects of American culture, that can cause those to be better preserved. The thing is that you have to foster a want to preserve things, not expect them to be perpetuated out of force or fear. If traditional dress or dance is not popular, I would say that it's more than an issue of immigrants being a part of the country. But the thing is, you can always preserve what you want because you have the freedom to do that. I can drive 20 minutes from my house and buy some cheese from a store run by the Amish who get around in a horse and buggy, I don't hear them complaining too loudly about losing their culture.

You're right.  But, for me, it was more of a "win" to have them understand that there are people that dgaf about politics, religion or bullshit...just work and enjoy life.  Forget the crap you left to come here.  

Despite the current narrative...we really do have exceptional freedoms.  Perfect...nope...pretty damn cool place to live...hell yeah.

All that is nice and good, but a half truth. What happens when the new culture comes to your front door? What about when it makes you a minority in the neighborhood your grandparents started? What about when, say, a demographic overtakes an area that overwhelmingly votes to legislate you out of a certain right? These are some of the issues that never get brought up but are very real. Just as real as tribalism among literally every other race and culture besides euro/whites. We're the only people that practice cultural suicide and i think it's a bad idea.

We just have extremely different opinions. We can get on fine with the similarities, so best to keep it that way.

I have a friend who retired, bought some land just outside Sundance and built a new house up there.    They lasted 2 winters, sold the place and moved back here again.

No way Id move to that Antarctica stuff.  Dizzy

 

That is where we lived and had a place for 12yrs, love the area, but the winters are fucking brutal. We lived about 8miles from town.

Native Americans where here for 13,000 yrs. Depending on where you research ovr 56 to 90 million where slaughtered. They use term because children& women where killed by sword. The men usually by gun. Culture is unique. Drum circle and dance to communicate with earth and its rhythms. To make it rain, change weather, communicate with all living things animals and plants, trees. 1975 in Gresham Wi. Indians took ovr a mansion the stand off lasted 34 days. The national guard, police ,etc fired at them every night. The Indians threw drum and chants connected to the spirits . They received a helper a Eagle sword above the mansion . The Indians always knew the enemies moves. Listen to it on mpr archive audio. 408 assimilation schools the Indians where forced to become white. To believe in 1 God, dress white, speak English never to speak there language, etc. tens of thousands died in the schools. Yaw ^ ko- thank you. Iroquoin language of many tribes including Oneida- Onyota ‘a ka. Americas 1st ally in the Revolutionary war. 
the people of the upright stone or standing stone. Also know as The turtle Clan, my Indian Bros hv this tattooed. Turtle island was America,s name.  Plz don’t delete most don’t know any history of our country.

Without getting specific I’ll revert to the erosion of the first second and fourth amendment currently going on. This is not a new war. And these are policies that “non-whites” overwhelmingly vote for. Different culture, different outcomes. It’s fine, just not good for me. Or you, but you’ll find that out later.
