It’s risky to maintain a friendship with a nation intent on committing suicide.
he whole point of Impractical Jokers is a few pranksters doing things, on purpose, which violate the norms of our society. This is what’s known as comedy. In real life, the whole point of a border is keeping people out who violate the norms of our society by accident. This is what we know as “having a country.”
Now, we all know that a country can be comical, but things get serious when too many people from too many countries start violating your norms willy-nilly. For instance, do Americans stand in line or crowd to the front? Do we throw trash in the garbage bins or on the street? How loudly can we play our music with the windows open? And can anybody park on the lawn?
Things get more uncomfortable when you ask, at what age is an impregnable women too young? And can you just follow one around if she’s alone, or stare at her on the bus? Do you have to wash your hands before making a stranger a hot dog? And should people own actual dogs? And can you blast prayers at six in the morning from the top of a building? And do you have to hold it all in, or can you just poop on the street?
(Fooled you on that last one. In San Francisco, almost anyone can fit in except Republicans.)
Some other differences go well beyond laws and affect the norms. George Patton writes in his memoirs that when he visited the sultan in Morocco, a leopard broke out of its cage and ran straight into the harem. A lot of screams were heard, and the sultan took off.

From the koran (with an editorial change):
Allah's Messenger (piss on him) said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with awe (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand."Several hadiths translate clearly -- " have been made victorious with terror "
Islam is a terrorist strategy, from the individual to the group to a nation.
Austria Hungary lost as its minorities were spilling over into other countries - the Poles were forced to fight in both the A-H and Russian armies and didn’t want to kill each other for foreign masters. Ditto for the Ruthenians, Southern Slavs etc.
Oh yes, racial and ethnic hatred are as old as the hills.
If today’s leftists were in charge at the start of WWII, “The Man in the High Castle” would have been a documentary.
England got the jump on the Nazis in committing atrocities against the Jews.
The Massacre at Clifford’s Tower
One of the worst anti-Semitic massacres of the Middle Ages took place in York in 1190. The city’s entire Jewish community was trapped by an angry mob inside the tower of York Castle. Many members of the community chose to commit suicide rather than be murdered or forcibly baptised by the attackers.
Just as Marxism is (cf. the last paragraph of the communist manifesto).
Maybe that’s why leftists and Muslims always seem to be buddy-buddy with each other. Or is it because both are equally bent on destroying Western civilization, replacing it with a utopian „paradise“?
Paradise? H.ll, rather…as German poet F. Hölderlin once wrote: „Every time those people who promised to turn Earth into Paradise, have instead turned Earth into H.ll“.
The commie trash visible crossed the line with this crappola, and nobody did anything.
Diversity is fine. Ethnic ghettos are fine. So long as those “cultural” issues are secondary to the one in the country you are moving into.
When multi-language gov’mt instructions and voting paperwork wereimplemented — the line was fatally crossed.
American Thinker appears to be slap out of editors.
Either that or they post crap from semi-literates to expose them.
Tragically, such aggression against the Jewish communities did occur throughout Europe regularly after the 11th century…😞
I know there must have been greater degree of tolerance before, since in the early 11th century at the court of Emperor Henry II in Germany, there had been the case of two Catholic clerics at the Imperial Court converting to Judaism.
One writer commented that maybe not two of the Emperor‘s confessors should have converted, but apart from this mild criticism, they remained honored and honorable members of the Court.
Emperor Otto ll.‘s life was even saved by a Jew named Kalonymus ben Mechoulam after the battle of Cape Colonne in 983 against the Saracens, when Kalonymus gave the Emperor his horse to flee on.
We don’t know whether Kalonymus recognised the Emperor, but he said to him: „Take my horse, O stripling, and save Thyself. Should I not escape, please feed my children.“
Luckily, Kalonymus ben Mechoulam was mentioned several times as an honored man an the Imperial Household, so HaShem must have been with him that fateful day, too🙂
"The state has always been made a hell by man's wanting to make it his heaven. The state is nothing but the coarse husk around the seed of life, the wall around the human fruits and flowers."You write, "...leftists and Muslims always seem to be buddy-buddy with each other... because both are equally bent on destroying Western civilization, replacing it with a utopian 'paradise'?"
That's the rhetoric, to be sure. But behind that "wall" as above is the sheer demand to "submit."
A twisted ride but try to follow.
The impact of the World Wars on the UK population, the international dynamics of the American Revolutionary War, and the destruction of the American bison and Native American cultures are complex historical topics.
World Wars and the UK
WWI: The Great War (1914–1918) had a devastating impact on the UK, causing over 880,000 military deaths, significantly affecting the male population.
WWII: While the UK suffered heavy losses, military casualties in World War II (roughly 384,000) were lower than in World War I.
Russia and the American Revolutionary War (1776)
Neutrality: Catherine the Great of Russia did not officially join the war as a belligerent, refusing British requests for troops to help crush the American rebellion.
Armed Neutrality: In 1780, Russia established the First League of Armed Neutrality. This was a formal coalition intended to protect neutral shipping from British naval blockades, which aided the American cause by supporting trade and restricting British maritime actions.
Impact: Though not a direct combatant, Russia’s refusal to help the British and its advocacy for “armed mediation” negatively impacted Britain’s efforts, making Russia an indirect contributor to American independence.
Native American Tribes in the Revolution
Divided Alliances: While most Native American tribes tried to remain neutral, many were forced to choose sides. The Iroquois Confederacy, for instance, split, with the Oneida and Tuscarora siding with the American patriots, while the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, and Onondaga sided with the British.
Consequences:
Despite some alliances with the USA (e.g., Stockbridge-Mohican, Oneida), most Native nations saw their sovereignty disregarded after the war, leading to massive land loss, forced removal (e.g., Trail of Tears), and in some cases, cultural erasure.
Bison Extermination and Native Americans
Bison Slaughter: In the 19th century, the U.S. government supported the industrial-scale killing of American bison, reducing a population of millions to near extinction by the 1880s.
“Starve the Natives”: This was not merely to exploit the resource, but was strategically used to deprive Plains Indians of their primary source of food, shelter, and clothing, making them dependent on the U.S. government and restricting their ability to resist white expansion.
Photo Evidence: Historical photographs from the 1870s/80s, such as the famous pile of bones in Michigan or in the West, document the enormous scale of the killing.
French Role in the Revolution
Significant Contribution: France was crucial to the American victory, providing money, weapons, and military forces (army and navy), particularly in the decisive Siege of Yorktown in 1781.

You are definitely right 🙂
Friendly words hiding nefarious intentions once more…
P.S.: it is I who is thankful to you for still remembering this excellent romantic poet, whose work is, alas, fading more and more into obscurity.
Britsh mascots
Very expensive mascots
Too much of English lit has to do with class conflict. Think Howard’s End, A Passage to India, Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice. Even Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. It can only suggest the culture is into flashing superiority issues.
It works as England was an empire for a good time. It worked because they were good at being the bad guys of the world. People rebel, empires contract, scale back and everyone wants to copy the same formula because they know it works. England didn’t have to let the citizens of their colonies settle in. Cheap labor will do it. At least our Mexicans have more in common with us than Allah worshipers.
Time to use those 2 oceans to our advantage.
Tourists are money.
So true, there’s nothing diverse about it. Its one opposing culture.
I can’t help but think back when the NWO pukes were pushing the formation and adoption of the European Union that they knew their plan included the destruction of Europe and its historic cultures. The ultra wealthy elites want total and complete control of the world so therefore there can be no freedom for their servant class, which is everyone else.
Worth the read, amusing but very real.
Britain has become a dark shadow of it’s former self.
There seems no sign of rescue in sight.
The queuing, abysmal National healthcare with delays, denials and waiting years til treatment is too late seems to have resulted in a patient, polite, self effacing, compliant population easier to propel down the chute. I hope courage, determination and willingness to confront makes a comeback.
Indeed the same can be said about the Americans.
Democrats always leave their trade mark on society
It's generally the case that minorities have relatives somewhere else. Britain was lucky that the Scots and Welsh didn't. That luck has run out with the new Muslim arrivals.
