@Jordanwabouzeid Temperate rainforests all along the East Coast and in Tassie.

Aus’ arid centre has character as well. Shame so much of it is either restricted or subject to Boong tolls.

@ProvidenceBelis Sure, the rhetoric is dubious/excessive and presupposes a bottom-up view of interaction.

But the context is significantly different from blacks, one because they were free labourers, and two they were upwardly mobile. By the 50s and 60s they were on average as wealthy as WASPs.

@ProvidenceBelis The White House itself was designed by James Hoban, who was of the Catholic Irish stock you condemn.

Yet you glaze Germans who's architects never made anything similar in the US, and in this regard are comparable to Italians. Midwesterner whitewashing his bloodline I presume?

[Olson @olsonsthhemi]

@ProvidenceBelis Pure revisionism. Midwest Germans pursued ethnically motivated radical politics and isolationism for decades, compared to the Atlanticist South and Anglo-Northeast.

Urban Germans voted like Irish and Italians, and economically they perform no better than these groups:

@DrewPavlou The British Naarmgroids are types who move to towns like Bristol, listen to bands like Idles and Street Soldier, are “patriotic” but only about Tikka Masala and the NHS, swear a lot (“Reform are fookin twats you absolute fascist bellend”) when they’re from middle class families.

[Olson @olsonsthhemi]

@DrewPavlou The Naarmgroid is specifically making fun of leftists who performatively dress and act working class and disingenuously appeal to a “multicultural, left wing nationalism/patriotism.”

This is just a normal looking dude who’s pro-Palestine. You misunderstand the archetype.

@UtsoA23 @TomCoalposting @iBerberiann @VictorFCorreas @Alber The Thirty Years War: Europe’s Tragedy by Peter Wilson.

Peter Wilson is Cambridge educated historian and currently a professor at Oxford. He specialises on German History and the 30 Years War.

Fairly reliable source I’d say.

@VDAREJamesK He isn’t right though, if every Ellis Island district was napalmed in 1965 the Hart-Cellar act would’ve passed with flying colours regardless.

Using Italian-Americans as a scapegoat to dance around the issue of post-WW2 liberalisation is just calumnious.

[Olson @olsonsthhemi]

@emperorthesteve These arguments are ahistorical, Hart-Cellar passed the house with overwhelming support across the country, “Ellis Island” districts weren’t even the tip of the balance.

Even so why stop it there? Why not go back to the Irish and Germans with Gilded Age Tammany Hall?

Who is most responsible for ‘destroying’ Brazil?

@dyredkuodx @LonePatriot14 @toiletpaperaus1 I’m not supportive of melting pot/multiculturalist policies, and that includes extensive translation services to service “anglophone resistant” ethnic contingents.

I was rather addressing the assertion that this is typical for Maltese. It isn’t at all as I showed above.

@LonePatriot14 @toiletpaperaus1 Under 5% of Maltese born residents report speaking English poorly or not at all. 49% only speak English at home.

Is this our political discourse now? Rhetoric based purely on anecdotes?

[Olson @olsonsthhemi]

@LonePatriot14 @toiletpaperaus1 Regarding genetic distance, there are many European immigrant groups significantly closer to Brits than Maltese with far worse English proficiency...

@lllllllstall @Kornbow1483 @nntertilis67 Proves my point. Today most of Israel north of the Negev has a temperate mediterranean climate (hot dry summers, wet winters) and this was also the case in antiquity.

Biblical Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem, etc, were not deserts. So Christianity isn’t a “desert religion.”
