@tuuu28283 That America is the greatest and Americans are built different.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear The Greeks did it to the Persians, the Romans did it to the Greeks, the Germanic tribes did it to the Romans, etc.
The Mongols did it to everyone from Korea to Poland. The Europeans did it to the world, and now it looks like we’re seeing the next iteration of this cycle.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear What all of this ultimately leads to is that people from the poorer societies will take resources and knowledge back to homes and use it to gather their kin and overrun the wealthier societies.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear Poorer societies are more willing to send their kids to the frontlines, because to them looting is foraging, and war is hunting animals that can fight back. They have nothing to lose, comfort isn’t an option, and their only advantage is they have the numbers to be expendable.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear Alternatively, wealthier societies tend to send fewer of their own children to the frontlines, partly because they have fewer children to begin with, and also because they start to prioritize comfort over protection.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear The poorer people then either have the opportunity to earn a place within that wealthier society or are left to be destitute workers in a society that will replace them too if they get too uppity. Naturally, the latter will just conspire to take the wealth for themselves.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear Because wealthier societies start to slowdown, they run into the problem of maintaining the labor capacity that got them their wealth, so they bring people from poorer societies to be the labor force.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Yvws6TskX5kIfPX @RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear Historically speaking, poorer societies tend to have higher birth rates to offset the high mortality rate, while wealthier societies tend to slow down because there is less survival impetus and more of an inheritance problem.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@RealDarkKitteee @AmericaPapaBear Yes, it’s called the CCP, IRGC, and FGB. It’s ironic that they are now tasting their own medicine.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@AdamsGusto @RyanMabin @AmericaPapaBear No they weren’t. Only two of those Chinese guys were actually fighting them, the rest were trying to stop the fight. It was either 2-on-2 or two 1-on-1 fights.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@Trimmedclips @DerrickEvans4WV That we can agree on.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@EugeneComiskey @MatrixMysteries One point of correction. You don’t have to love this country. But it is the fact that you don’t have to love this country that should make you want to love it and respect the people who do love it.
However, you do have to not hate this country. That is what cannot be tolerated.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@MyMusicXMeMusic @kangminlee Is it really that hard to believe that other people aren’t as oppressed as you wish you were?

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@TheDona42382797 @kangminlee On the one hand, no. We have a lot more to be proud of. On the other hand, when the food is good there’s reason to be proud. Just ask the Italians.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@StennaPointu @kangminlee Prior to the World Cup, y’all have never had a reason to step outside of the areas that the travel agencies send you to. But because the matches are spread across the entire continent, you have to come see all of it to go from one match to the next.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@StennaPointu @kangminlee Yeah, we know that. Just like we know that y’all have a tendency to stay exclusively in New York and the West Coast. The part that Europeans are seeing for the first time is the entire rest of the continent where something like 80% of Americans live.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@yenidenbirben @kangminlee It’s amazing what you can have in a country where the infrastructure already exists to support these games.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@MargaretS977800 @mike1754041 @kangminlee A simple look at the bigger picture makes me think Iran was just a stepping stone. There’s a much bigger fish that we want to catch, and it’s currently swimming in the Strait of Taiwan. But to catch it, we need to make sure Iran can’t shutdown the Strait of Hormuz again.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@MarvoloESH @kangminlee The irony in your statement is that we don’t NEED for them to live here. It would be much better for all of us if they took this experience that they had here back to their home countries and started asking questions about what their governments told them to believe about us.

[Collin Cantrell @Collin1492]

@kangminlee Europeans: America has no culture or history.

Europeans after the World Cup: Yeeeee Haw! God bless America! Give me liberty or give me death! Land of the free and home of the brave, baby! USA! USA! USA! WOOO!

Americans: I think they get it now.
