They already tried that. Your average terrorist was extremely young, on drugs and hopped up on anti-White lies. Vicious, but harmless unless you’re a defenceless woman or child. In every single battle they were torn to pieces by the sophisticated Rhodesian security forces with disastrous results. In most Rhodesian war memoirs the troopers talk about how sorry they felt for these chaps. They never stood a chance.

NO! Ancient Civilization and technology didn't magically stop wherever Lumber was Plentiful and you didn't have to build out of stone. Read Caesar or any roman sources and they describe Gaulic, British, and Germanic towns and cities of 10s of thousands. The reason we have fewer of their ruins is that before the Advent of Castles there was little reason to build out of stone instead of the same wood & thatch roof structures you'd see in towns up to the 19th century. Alesia held 70,000 defenders before Rome Besieged it. Avaricum had a pre-war population of 40,000 and was considered one of the most beautiful towns in the world... Caesar comments on this as part of the reason the Gauls refused to abandon it in addition to its massive stone walls. Hollywood is attached to the image of pre-roman Northern Europe as a barbarous illiterate place that built nothing and wore no finery... because then they get to save on sets and costumes. And likewise you get some Neo-primitivists that fall in love with this image of Celts, gauls, and Germans... But they'll all admit the radically larger scale of things if pushed or shown sources. The people who are most violently attached to the idea of Northern Europe as an illiterate waste comparable to to the very worst parts of Modern Africa where the largest settlement was a few hundred people "Ooogga Boogga" Barbarians... Are not even SJWs... But Christians. They desperately want it to be the case that northern europe was just wallowing in illiterate filth before Christianity arrived... Which is very plainly NOT the case, and the litteracy and complexity of their Pre-Roman societies is attested by the Romans... It's just no texts survive from this period for the same reason no Carthaginian texts survive, and no Assyrian or Parthian Texts, or No Iberian Texts, and almost no Egyptian texts (almost all our sources on egypt are from earlier periods where it was carved in stone, or from rome) and only about 500-1000 combined Greeks and roman texts survive... out of what we KNOW were 10s if not hundreds of thousands of works. A) Because Pulped paper had not been invented, and almost every medium decayed vastly quicker without modern matterials and either printing or an elaborate monestary system... B) Because early Christians and later early Muslims actively destroyed several of the most prominent libraries in the Ancient world (notably Alexandria) where 10s of thousand of texts in dozens of languages were gathered and copied. This was Doubly devastating because they destroyed the libraries in the Dry climates where you could preserve a scroll for 1000 years (whereas it's a nightmare to preserve books pre-climate control in Wet Climes like northern Europe) This is a Major factor in the "Jerusalem Vs. Athens" civilizational dichotomy... That both the Greeks and the Jews are artificially granted VASTLY more world historical importance than they deserve, merely because of the Accident that they lacked lumber and so mostly built in stone, and they lacked rain and winter, and so their texts were vastly more likely to survive. Again only about 500-1000 non-hieroglyphic ancient text survive at all. It would have been very VERY easy for the Bible, or other Jewish tales, or the Philosophy of Plato, or the Histories of Thucydides, or Caesar's history of the Gallic wars to perish like Caesar Augustus' Autobiography or the Six lost Homeric epics, or Socrates' retelling of Aesop's Fables, Or King Ptolomy's first hand account of the Conquests of Alexander, or Cato's 7 Volume History of Rome, or Sulla's Memoirs, or Julius Caesar's book length Epic Poem about Hercules, or 2 thirds of Aristotle's works, or indeed the MAJORITY of the Gospels. Below is a mostly accurate to Caesar's account depiction of the Siege of the Gallic town of Avaricum

We are winning. Grok continues to agree with me that White men invented almost everything. I asked Grok "Who, and from what nationality, were the men who invented the following scientific instruments". I included the list I had created a few years ago, in which I claimed that "all these instruments were invented by White men". The list is below, as per Grok's agreement. Grok only excluded one instrument, "Nanoscale", as being a "scale of measurement, not a scientific instrument". However, Grok told me not to be so stingy and include Zhang Heng as the inventor of the Seismograph. But I will not follow Grok strictly to the letter, and still add that John Milne, who was English, invented the first modern seismograph in 1880. This is Grok's answer, exactly quoted. Ammeter: Invented by André-Marie Ampère, who was French. The ammeter measures electric current and is named after Ampère, reflecting his foundational work in electromagnetism. Barometer: Invented by Evangelista Torricelli, who was Italian. Torricelli created the first mercury barometer in 1643 to measure atmospheric pressure. Sextant: Invented by John Hadley, who was English, and Thomas Godfrey, who was American. Both independently developed the sextant around 1730, an instrument used for navigation to measure angles between celestial objects and the horizon. Voltmeter: Invented by Edward Weston, who was American. Weston, originally born in England, developed the first practical voltmeter in 1886 while working in the United States, where he became a citizen. Thermometer: Invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who was Dutch. Fahrenheit, born in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), worked in the Netherlands and invented the modern mercury thermometer with a standardized scale in the early 18th century. Galvanometer: Invented by Johann Schweigger, who was German. Schweigger created the first galvanometer in 1820 to detect and measure small electric currents. Hydrometer: Invented by William Nicholson, who was English. Nicholson developed the modern hydrometer in 1790 to measure the density or specific gravity of liquids. Radar: Invented by Robert Watson-Watt, who was British (Scottish). Watson-Watt demonstrated the first practical radar system in 1935, pivotal for detection during World War II. Hygrometer: Invented by Horace Bénédict de Saussure, who was Swiss. De Saussure developed a practical hygrometer in the 18th century to measure humidity in the air. Electroscope: Invented by Abraham Bennet, who was English. Bennet invented the modern gold-leaf electroscope in 1787 to detect electric charge. Microscope: Invented by Zacharias Janssen, who was Dutch. Janssen is credited with creating the first compound microscope around 1590. Electron Microscope: Invented by Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll, both of whom were German. They developed the first electron microscope in 1931, using electrons for high-resolution imaging. Accelerometer: Invented by George Atwood, who was English. Atwood created the first accelerometer in 1783 to measure acceleration, notably due to gravity. Magnetograph: Invented by Charles Brooke, who was English. Brooke developed the magnetograph in 1846 to record variations in the Earth’s magnetic field. Telescope: Invented by Hans Lippershey, who was Dutch. Lippershey is credited with inventing the first refracting telescope in 1608. Periscope: Invented by Sir Howard Grubb, who was Irish. Grubb developed the modern periscope in the late 19th century, widely used in submarines. Calorimeter: Invented by Joseph Black, who was Scottish (British). Black invented the ice calorimeter in 1761 to measure heat transfer. Nanoscale: Not an instrument. "Nanoscale" refers to a scale of measurement (on the order of nanometers) rather than a scientific instrument, so it does not have an inventor. Telemeter: Invented by Carl Pulfrich, who was German. Pulfrich developed the stereoscopic telemeter in 1890 to measure distances. Seismograph: Invented by Zhang Heng, who was Chinese. Zhang Heng created the first seismograph in 132 AD to detect and record earthquakes. Cardiograph: Invented by Willem Einthoven, who was Dutch. Einthoven invented the electrocardiograph (ECG) in 1903 to record the heart’s electrical activity.
