Thomas Sowell on the reality of group disparities in wealth and achievement. See description below:
1.) The Chinese:
5% of the population in Indonesia, yet owning 80% of the capital.
2.) Germans:
1% of the population in Russia, yet dominating the military high command.
3.) Jews:
1% of the Australian population, yet owned most clothing stores in Melbourne. In Poland, they were 11% of the population, but more than 50% of the physicians, controlling 2/3 of commerce. In Hungary, they were 6% of the population, yet 3/5 of the physicians.
4.) Indians/Pakistanis/Goans:
~1% of the population in Uganda, yet owned 80% of capital including 90% of cotton gins.
These outcomes aren't "sinister." They're common.
@GadSaad You are an absolute legend. If you want to really see the pinnacle of entitlement and victim mentality please visit South Africa.
Ps. Do not rather, it's except the Western Cape, a war zone of infrastructure.
Muslims went crazy after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this:
"Radical Islam doesn’t want just a small caliphate in Iraq or Syria. They see the United States as the greatest evil on Earth and seek to dominate the entire West. Radical Islam is revolutionary, it wants endless expansion, terrorism, assassinations, and total control. They hate America, Europe, Israel, and every Muslim nation that partners with us. Orlando, Pensacola, and domestic attacks prove it.
Radical Islam is a clear and imminent threat to the world."
I agree with every single word he said.
When people tell you, “but statistically, Europe is still safe,”
When they say, “Europe is still safer than many other places,”
When they say, “it’s still safer than it was in the 90s,”
Show them this.
Thomas Sowell: "Intellectuals have a great tendency to see poverty as a great moral problem to which they have the solution. The human race began in poverty, so there's no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor.
The question is why have some people gotten prosperous, and why have some gotten to a greater degree than others."

Elon Musk did not become a different person when he landed in America.
In South Africa, he may still have been brilliant, restless, and ambitious, but the environment would not have given him the same room to build SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and everything else.
Talent matters. The country you build in decides how much of that talent can become real.
For all Dutch people who think Germans invented #concentrationcamps,
watch this video about South-Africa.
The British did it, along with #ScorchedEarth policy, in 1899.
The mission of Islam is to conquer the all world, the land of Islam must always expand, that’s why decolonization of Islamic conquered land is the worst thing that can happen to Islam, like the case of Israel and Spain, and maybe Iran.
I have spent my political career fighting against identity politics when it came from Labour, Lib Dems, or the SNP, and I will do exactly the same against identity politics when it comes from Reform UK.
The answer to Black Lives Matter is not a White Lives Matter born of the same racial grievance.
To fix this the Conservatives will stand up for the silent majority who want order, fairness, common sense, and one law for everyone.
