New Zealand - Killer Praised Trump

[Smitty-48]

Rome was multicultural from the start, because the Romans were Greeks not Italians, but Diocletian 284 AD was the zenith of their empire.

Right on, man.
That's all I'm saying.
Successful multicultural societies - not hard to find. Especially ones that exist for centuries.
Failed ones can be found too.
But acting as if, by rule, they all fail all the time, in a couple hundred years or less - that's clearly not true.

I think you're both right, Rome was the Hoplites at Marathon Spartan UBI, but eventually it fell to the Germans by osmosis.

The cracks of society are bigger in some areas than others. If you lived where I do, in a metro of 500k, going over 30 murders a year is a crisis.

There is literally not an area in town I would not walk in after dark. The question is, will those splits widen enough and pull us all in?



I imagine the views from Detroit is much different as far as how near the edge of the cliff is.

Draw the timeline out far enough and all human civilization falls to Sol going red dwarf.
So if we want to get ridiculous, we can easily claim that all forms of human civilization fail.

Which is why I like adding timeline in there. If successful multicultural societies only carry on for 500-1500 years ... well, that's fine. Look at the competition. Some last far shorter. Some last far longer but don't offer individual freedoms. So taking the whole ball of wax into consideration, we're pretty fucking awesome and our system is pretty fucking awesome.

It won't last forever, but neither will Earth.

Relativistic Velocity Chimp will escape the bounds of Sol, fetch the gluon-quark plasma, Eagle One.

Most of us don't have the right gang insignia to walk freely around Lexington after dark though.

North German Protestant right wing extremist; why would a fascist want to shoot me?

I don't think you are woke.

It was 2 years ago that street protest started based on a fake media narrative resulted in a black nationalist attack LEOs. That is much closer to attempting to start a race war than what this lad did.

There was a series of protest taking place across the nation prior to that shooting and if the leaders persisted with the protest after that shooting, it would have gotten worse.

Facts are, the BLM was reigned in after Dallas by its leadership. They could have easily stoked the flames. I wonder what AOC would have done if it was her call??

Ah well, then I die with my boots on. Not the worst way to go. The God of the Hebrews is with me, always.
