As someone who's lived in Europe and America and many other places... "too civilized for your own good" is exactly the phrase I would use to describe Europeans
This was the entire vibe during WWI apparently. Y’all had tanks but never made good use of them. Then General Patton and our guys came along and was like “hip pity hoppity, your trenches are my property”. I had always assumed it was mere numbers, but the more looked into it, the more I was stunned
There is something primal about the Americans. With their lack of social safety nets, freedom to bear arms and strong patriotism. it's a very domineering image.
I'm 65 years old and English, born in England. I can assure you that the White English have massive diversity depending on where they were born and brought up within the relatively tiny England. In my childhood there were stark differences between the transient Irish travelling groups and the locals way before significant non-White migration. The differences between the White English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish, customs and language are large. White English let alone White Europeans are highly diverse before you ever start consideration migration to or from other parts of the Earth.
I noticed that when I visited. I think what makes us Americans more unique, however were two factors: 1) Expectations. Ethonationalism and tribalismis a huge no-no here. If it ever took root, the Union would risk falling apart. Hence we really only mandate a common language be spoken and baseline freedoms/customs guaranteed. Hence we focus on fighting about more important things, such as religion. This allows a lot of isolated pockets to fragment and grow quite rapidly, but also move without nearly as much resistance, so it’s like dice getting re-shuffled in many places due to economics. 2) Geography. As people move about, they basically have to change in order to meet their new climate. Hence new cultures can spring up. For example, Deseret (now Utah) saw the Mormons dropped some of their 19th century attire. Pennsylvania Dutch invented Groundhog Day because the region lacked Wiesels for which their old cultures used for the superstitious tradition. Black Americans in the North were opportunists (mostly agnostic) and hence have a completely different culture than in the Deep South (far more religious). Hawaiian-American culture spreading into the mainstream in some places, Spanish skyrocketing in popularity in some places thanks to music from California, Texans wrangling cows instead of sheep from the East coast
The effects of the various British culutral groups had on the states is fairly well-known by American historians, but that info is only slowly starting to percalate through the rest of society. The most obvious examples are that the northern states were primarily settled by people from the southeast of Englad while the southern states were primarily settled by people from northern and western England as well as Ulster Scots. This led to Southerns being, as someone put it, "sweet as can be, will slit your throat", while Northerners gained a reputation of being cold and focused on global trade. However, I've noticed that most of hte historians who point out these differences are either from the North or attended northern university, and thus present the South in a bad light. So, as a southerner myself, I'd like to point out that the North was founded by radical Puritans who moved to the Netherlands for religious liberty, hated it, moved to the New World with the expressed goal of founding a theocracy, and have been trying to force whatever their morals happen to be at the time onto the rest of America ever since.

France actually in the 11th century had almost 8 million inhabitants in a smaller area than today, and would have been approaching 20 million at the start of 1300 before the 100 years war and the black death
17:58 From what I've seen the Thirteen Colonies/U.S. imported about 400,000 African slaves. Still a lot, but not in the millions (and far less than places like Brazil or The Caribbean).
The actual 8 millions claimed to be the number of blacks enslaved to be taken to Brazil is actually a not factual number, there is no data to back such number as well. Until 50 years ago the number was 2 million. Knowing the amount of ships transporting blacks and the price of these slaves and how much the landlords made (there are plenty of documents backing it) it was way more likely the number was between 1.8-2.2 million. Take note many of them would die in the way since they were raided in their tribes or sold by their parents in the markets, probably even more than the ones that arrived alive in Brazil. Also most blacks that arrived in the US were taken by the Brazilian route.
@@baronvonjo1929 Latins do have race violence, it's just different in its dynamics, I discussed this with a Mexican friend before. Since there is more of a spectrum of shades down South, it's colorism. Never heard of "mejorar la raza" or "blanqueamiento"?
@@baronvonjo1929because Anglos had segregation while Iberians had a policy of ultra race mixing orgies, so natives blacks and Iberians just racemixed their issues away
@@baronvonjo1929 We don't and never have had crazy race violence. Incidents have happened and the infamous lynchings too, though only 4700 or from 1882-1968, with 1/3 of those non-blacks. Also, we had legal discrimination, racism and segregation. More Black people are killed every 6 months or so in the US today, from other Blacks obviously. Some 7500 murders per annum (black on black), fully 50% of all murders in the USA committed by a very small percentage of the population. Blacks are 13% overall, men half of that and those doing the killing a very small subset of those males, with 1/3 of Black men having men incarcerated, on parole or in prison currently. The situation in Brazil is one of almost half the country being of mixed ancestry 42% and almost half being white, 51% with currently a small number being black 5%. These percentages were arrived at because the government deliberately attempted and encouraged a 'whitening' of the population through European immigration and race mixing. When Blacks were freed in Brazil, their percentage of the population was about 20%.
You hit the nail right on the head. As a Canadians I feel both horrified and endlessly fasciacted by the USA. It's such a dynamic place, and I often feel our people lack that energy and passion. There are so many layers and aspects to American society that you just don't see elsewhere or they eventually get exported. People often clown on Americans for not being interested in the wrold, but why would they? America has enough lol
That’s true but it’s also true that probably most Americans never leave the country, partly because of the long distance (and cost) and partly because you don’t have to leave the country to experience any climate or activity other than specifically wanting to experience foreign places and cultures.
Yes, the US isn't Europe. Americans can't get on a train and go 4 hours in any direction and be in a different country. Being well traveled in Europe, as a European, is nothing to really brag about. I can get in a car and drive East for literally 45 hours and still be in the US lmao.
I am Russian, I live in the USA, I can say that the demographics in the USA are much better than in Russia. in Russia a very non-religious population, in the USA the population is more religious and wealthy
Describing Kyle as a "Vigilante" shows that European bias a lot, I would even say "mediatised" bias. He was acquitted precisely because he wasn't a Vigilante. Great video all around regardless.
I agree with you, but I wanted to show the European perspective, where in most countries is basically unimaginable for a private citizen with a semi-automatic (If I am incorrect about the type of rifle he used, I am sorry, I am not a gun-buff) rifle would go to keep the peace somewhere during such riots. But I am not condemning it at all.
@@kaiserbauch9092 I have question, when riots happen in Europe example when the Kurdish mates rioted in France after a Kurd died and they went ape shit if the cops don't do anything would a European just sit there and just take it? In the U.S during recent riots many police had their hands tied. A example in my state in the capital the sheriff didn't have enough resources nor support the governor to keep the peace. So he asked help for the local militia to patrol certain areas of the city. The sheriff of a county in the U.S has the right to raise his own force from the general population if need be is their something similar in European nations for local government? Or just civilians themselves forming to stop say rioters burning down a business district, while the government is only protecting a few key government buildings during the riot? Just curious.
Well, I am from post-communist Europe and of the perks of that is the fact that such riots never happens here. Literally never since the revolution of 1989 there was something akin to BLM riots or the rioting in France. So I do not know how the public would react and, to be frank, Czechs would never riot like that, even though gun laws are very benevolent here in the European context. But in France, and overall Western Europe, I think it is basically completely left to the police to react and non-rioters just go inside.
As I made in another post, there is a strong regional diversity of European Americans. For instance, I live in Michigan and we have some of the country’s largest communities of Poles (largely in Detroit and northern Michigan) and Dutch (in the West). Go to the Upper Peninsula (basically the Alaska of the Midwest) and many Finns live up there too.
I agree. However, the demographics of Michigan are changing in regards to immigration. Many newly arrived peoples coming from Latin America and the Arab world. Many schools in Michigan are encouraging students to learn Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.
@@ericp0012 Yes, but that's not much different than what is seen elsewhere. Plus, compared to a state like California, for instance, Michigan is still overwhelmingly white.
@@ElTigre12024Most Hispanic people are 60-90% White so they should be added to the total, it’s like how the U.S. didn’t classify Italians, Irish, or Greeks as White for a long time. Them being added increases the total a lot and they keep the total White population increasing.
As a Texan, my family fought in both the American Revolution and the Texas Revolution. The things talked about in the video ring very close to my own family's history. Funny enough even down the family structure. I left home at 18 with 3 months worth of savings, moved towns repeatedly and due to my sister will have 0 inheritance. I'm not mad anymore I have complete self assurance that I will outshine my father and help my family when they grow old. Also I have a side arm with me almost all times, I had put a lot of thought into why but the description in the video makes sense. Croatia makes excellent hand guns if anyone is curious.
Krauts video on American gun culture provides a lot of insight on why Americans value guns and violence more the us was built by independent groups of volunteer farmers who fought the British and then went on to drive out the Native Americans. While in Europe the core culture was always a peasantry which had security provided for them. The one exception being Switzerland which was a mountainous back water that used its excess population as mercenaries and developed a tradition of a militant populace.

We do not have "amazing demographics" what are you talking about? we had amazing demographics in 1950 now it's just turning into an ocean of mud blood orcs.
Amazing economy too, even if you don't take the US dollar into account. GDP per capita that outshines pretty much everyone (even better if you look at the individual states like MA or CA). Disposable income in PPP terms is the highest in the world. America leads pretty much all knowledge-intensive industries. All this despite the very clear failures in social reforms and such. In part, I don't think the Europeans can do a whole lot about the US outpacing them.
I'm a 6th generation Floridian, entirely of Western European decent save for... My Russian Jewish great-great-grandmother on my father's side. I always love to hear Europeans describing Americans, it makes me feel like like I'm tuning into an alien broadcast describing how insane and scary the humans are
As an American of Russian origin I don't find your videos particularly anti Russian, you obviously have biases but it's understandable considering the history and the current war. Honestly at this point I am just glad when I hear people from your region don't have animosity towards regular Russians who don't support Putin. Great video.
I find a reckoning of the American crime/violence rate EXCEEDINGLY incomplete without mentioning that, if broken down by race, the white violence rate is below that of Europe, not least of that among the Czechs. Disregarding any noise about "racist undertones" (which apparently should mean objective knowledge needs to be suppressed), does that not contain enough interesting and meaningful implications to warrant a mention (not least such that defeat your point about how this apparently shows a societally different structure of power monopoly, when instead the violence is extremely compartmentalized by region/social strata, meaning e.g. uber-white Maine has absolutely no different power monopoly relation compared to Czechia)? Also your intellectuals are Karolina Keyzer and another guy talking about how modern architecture is ugly. So while they are definitely snobbish Western European intellectuals, they are also based.
That’s actually incorrect, the White American crime rate is vastly underreported. FBI data is willfully given by police departments and not all police departments give their data to the FBI. Also, BlackAmerican communities are over policed and White American communities are under policed. Additionally, if you take into consideration financial fraud, medical abuse, political corruption, and etc White Americans commit the majority of crimes in the USA. Lastly, arrests do not equate to someone being actually guilty of a crime bc many Black American men have been wrongfully arrested and never convicted of a crime and they’re 7x more like to have a conviction overturned speaks volumes.
Yes. Wether you believe there's something fundamentally wrong with certain races or if they've been forced upon a bad path we can mutter over later, information should not be suppressed.
Actually white Americans are about 3x more violent than Europeans on average and even in the supposedly racially homogenous 50s, a time when black people committed way less crime than whites,the crime rate and violent crime rate were 5x larger than Western Europe still.
Domesticated is when your country fuctions properly and isn't a shithole where the top 1% keeps lying to the masses that one day (I promise bro, bro just trust me) they will become just like them. If anyone's domesticated is the US populace that thinks it as any sort of control over their countrie's politics. (No, having guns won't protect you from the government or scary it in any way).
If you enjoy stories about the contrast between technological/economic progress and social regression (violence and decentralization), then i have a hell of a recommendation for you. "Tales from the Terran Republic" Its a Sci-fi story taking place around 3200 with its primary world-building that the story and characters build off of being that around 3000, the Yellowstone Supervolcano blew up blew. This event took a peaceful, prosperous, and practically united world (that had colonized the solar system and was on the verge of FTL) and threw it into a dark age it has not fully recovered from. This dark age didn't happen because the volcano killed everyone, no it happened because the ash blocked out the sun and killed all the crops for a couple years. People then started killing each other for food and all societies and governments fell, preventing large scale agriculture even after the sun came out. When the fighting stopped 10 years later (because aliens invaded earth, this a sci-fi story) all the surviving humans were hyper-individualist, hyper-educated (all the dump people starved), hyper-violent, and organized into well armed and lead tribes and clans (and those clans remained that way even after central government was reestablished). This put human culture at odds with basically all aliens, since those aliens had a cultural foundation in a functional government. This makes the humans the Americans and the aliens the Europeans in your comparison, and it results in some very interesting interactions and culture clashes.

Nice to see an European not knee jerk attack America for it's role in WW2 and also not completely diminish the Soviet effort either with a realist understanding of both. I also find the way Americans are able to move about their country quite interesting to consider too. You don't see that in as many other countries, though Chinese citizens have started moving en masse around in similar ways. We see that by how during every Chinese New Years with Chinese laborers going back home to celebrate it's an immense amount of people traveling.
Well in China and much of the world, it is classic urbanisation. People move from villages and small towns to big economic centres. That is basically universal. But Americans are more prone to moving from one large city to another.
Why would Europeans "knee jerk attack America for it's role in WW2"? I've heard criticisms of details about how the US handled WW2 in Europe and that Americans give themselves too much credit for the "Allied" victory, but, unless you're talking about Neo-Nazi types, I've never heard of Europeans presenting the US's role in WW2 as negative overall.
Ahh USA, I always felt some kind of connection to this country, and to be truthful many Poles did and still do. Casimir Pułaski and Kościuszko, for example, they left the country due to "unfavorable" conditions in Poland and went on to become heroes of the USA! Anyways as always, I appreciate these videos, really interesting.
I live in Michigan and we have one of the largest Polish communities in the country. I’m not Polish (though some of my cousins have Polish roots) but I’ve always had an affinity for Poland.

@@forgemaster6120 So, I just want to inform you all that I decided to take this last video down from RUclips. It was not an easy choice since I spent many days working on it, but my inner doubtful side finally prevailed, and I will try to explain my reasoning in this comment. While I stand behind the majority of the things that I have said in the video, especially about the futility of cutting down on CO2 emissions in the developed world in contrast with rising CO2 levels worldwide because of the economic ascendence of the developing world, after reading many of the comments and deeply thinking about them, I had to admit to myself several things. I do not know as much about the topic at hand, the topic being Climate change and the science behind it, as I probably felt I did when I made the video. I did my fair share of research, but I just cannot shake off the suspicion that many personal biases impacted my conclusions. These biases may have led to me purposefully seeking information sources that reassured my already existing opinions. Basically, I decided beforehand what conclusions I want to find, at least a little bit. I am really, thoroughly annoyed by the hysteric climate activists and many of the dishonest methods they use to pressure the public to act according to their visions, which made me more contrarian and combative in my argumentation than I needed to be. While I stand behind the thesis that the alleged scientific consensus behind the claims that the CO2 emissions emitted by human industrial activity are the undisputable and only source of the current climate changes is not as firm as it is often presented, and there are many highly respected scientists with dissenting opinions, I have to admit to myself and my viewers that the topic is not as close to my heart as the other topics that I make videos about, such as demographics, immigration or history. I have not read as many books, and my views are not as deeply rooted in the study of the subject. I am not necessarily persuaded that the things I said in the video are not true, but I am not as sure as I want to be that they are right. Since I do not want to be just another RUclips channel pandering to already convinced audiences about political talking points, but I want to bring interesting and unique content genuinely based on my research, I thus decided to take this video down from RUclips. For all my viewers that did not manage to watch it or liked it and would like to maybe rewatch it, it will be available on my Patreon for free, not only for my Patrons, so anyone who reads this comment can watch the video. Maybe I will revisit this topic after reading more books and studies with a more level-headed approach. I am aware that it will probably be seen by some of my viewers as a lame move or succumbing to the pressure of people roasting me in the comments, but I would not do this if I did not feel the inner persuasion that I truly do not stand on such a firm ground as, for example, in my videos about immigration to Western Europe, that also attracted their fair share of heat and negative attention. Anyway, I hope you will understand this, will not bail on me, and I will see you in my next video, The Demographic Deep Dive: United States of America. Kaiser Bauch

My father was a black man from Texas, who was born in 1944. He was a Vietnam Vetran and he passed away in 2021. He told me that racism was always a bitch in this country, but after traveling the world in the military, he saw great potential in American society. I love the concept that America as a nation includes different race,ethnicities, and creeds as one people under the same flag. What would make this country better would be a transfer of wealth to all Americans and not just white families, like what we did in the 50's
And how, pretale, would you go about this "transfer of wealth to all Americans"? Good luck with a non-authoritarian strategy. Otherwise, it just comes down to "I know you, so you've got the inside info on how to get as much out of this as possible."

@@westbdeon I wonder if you're familiar with inflation, and how that "check sent to everyone" was a part of that. The whole "money printer go brrr" meme exists for a reason. Inflation is an indirect form of taxation. A government devalues its currency to pay off debts or fund projects, and it does so with stupid levels of inefficiency. Governments have little to no incentive to haggle and negotiate favorable prices, so most everything ends up costing them much more, and everyone ends up paying for it indirectly through inflation.
Great video as always, I think people always want what they can’t have so it kinda explains your fascination with American culture as an European. Also I’m looking forward to seeing what your next video especially what you’re going to say about my ethnic group Black Americans who descend from AmericanChattelSlavery. We’re an unique group of people, not entirely European but not wholly African. We are a mixed race of people; that is a mixed with various African ethnic groups and European people primarily from the British Isles. We speak English, practice Protestant Christianity, and have a value system that descends from the British Isles.
@@aspen1606he isn’t the purveyor of truth. He makes many mistakes himself, so no he doesn’t need to listen to Sowell even if some of what he says is legit
Almost all slavery was chattel (meaning property) slavery. Why people put emphasis on this term is beyond me. Slavery means you are owned by another human and slaves throughout history, regardless of civilization were treated with violence and abuse. This was the case for Africans previous to being sold to Europeans and then sent to the Americas. Slavery was big business in Africa and the vast majority of slaves stayed there and or went across the continent in the much more brutal and long lived. Trans Saharan Slave Trade. Also, millions of Europeans were slaves in the Americas as well, also chattel but usually for term, 5-7 years, though some longer, like many children and many of course died before being freed.
@@aspen1606 I’m somewhat familiar with his work, I don’t entirely agree with all his assertions. I do believe that a lot of Black American culture stems from the British and that their is a massive overlap between Black American culture and Southern White American culture.
As an American I always find it very fascinating to get the perspective on the US from other countries. We don’t normally get to interact with people from other countries very often. Sometimes I worry that the US is hated by most people internationally, we definitely have our problems but it still makes me sad.
I was curious about this myself and decided to travel across East Europe and West Asia. Note: I don't think I've met a European or Asian who hates American people. Most just see people as people. I'd say the hate or disdain is more around how the US government handles itself internationally. Many see the US government as a user and abuser of nations from a far, taking unfair advantage of its island. If you speak with an Asian, you'll see a push towards BRICS and a desire for the US to either get out of their back yards or take a seat (by force if required, BRICS military spend is approaching US's now). I think this channel mostly shows how East Europeans feel about Americans, though places like Hungary are shifting their tone for a few reasons. Again, though, haven't seen deep hate to Americans compared to their government. Because western media is so wide spread, some even feel bad because of how the media portrays the US going down hill socially. School shootings, street violence, etc. is what puts them by surprise.
@@somjrgebn BRICS is not at all anything approaching a unified entity, let alone one with a military. India and China are vicious rivals funding each other's downfall and they're both in BRICS.

@@stephenjenkins7971 Hmm, is this coming from typical western media propaganda or from some specific events? So far, the following events have convinced me otherwise, regardless of what western media and government tell their people: - Iran signs peace treaty with Saudi Arabia. If you happen to know Muslims, they'll tell you how rare for historically fighting ideological camps to sign a peace treaty like this. - Against US rejections, Syria rejoins the Arab league for economic aid by Saudi Arabia. - Brazil request Iranian warships be docked at their Rio ports. - Zimbabwe delegates (Zimbabwe, the leading voice of South Africa) are detained on a plane in Poland for nearly a day under NATO command. They respond by attending the St. Petersburgh forum (along with 100+ nations), despite threats of Western sanctions. - US requests India to join NATO+ to contain China. India's quick response with an unambiguous no. - France invites China to display their latest J20 stealth fighter jet at their Paris air show. China accepts. - Hungary decides to not join NATO's sanctions on Russia and refuses military aid to Ukraine. Decides to instead remain neutral and suggests peace talks. - Austria and Slovakia break away from NATO's sanctions and also end military aid, also suggesting peace talks. - Despite US's dominant military presence in South East Asia, Lowery Institute and ISEAS in Singapore publish findings on China's new dominant political influence over the US. - Saudi Arabia goes public with their nuclear program, requesting any nation to join in on making their own investments. - US dollar as a reserve currency drops from 73% (in 2001) to 58% (2023), with sell offs projected to continue. Aside from my personal experience being in East Europe and West Asia, it looks like the world is becoming more regional based. With military spending rising globally and a declining sentiment around US expanding so far from its own land (like US asking India to join NATO+), the world is shifting to a multi-polar, regional-based order. The international order where rules are told to other countries from a far by the US is coming to an end, and the world generally wants that it seems. Note: Tried sharing links for info on these events, but YT doesn't let me sadly. Each can be researched online, though, you just have to be mindful of the source.
I think the best way to describe the non-American Western countries is as cultural colonies of the 1940s American progressive left - that is, the FDR social and political elite. All previous rightwing traditions were replaced relatively quickly with Americanized economic liberalism that only served to tie those countries further to America when their policies were implemented, and all native leftwing traditions were either syncretized to or forcibly sterilized by the incoming ideological tradition. By the 1990s, the last bearers of pre-American rightwing (Enoch Powell) and leftwing (Gough Whitlam) ideologies in all those countries were relegated to carping malcontents in the cultural scene, and their successors were all Americanized to greater or lesser degrees. In continental Europe, this is even more starkly apparent, with only tiny slivers of the old European rightwing surviving in the form of the Nouvelle Droit and Neue Richte, which have for the longest time been no more than despised dissident movements that most normal people in Europe find distasteful or actively hate. Only now that the postwar American-imposed system is facing a major legitimacy crisis caused by mass immigration and aging, are these ideologies finally crawling out of their holes and enjoying any success, and even then the majority of the population views them as so foreign that they are willing to use extraordinary means, including unabashed psychotic violence, to silence them. The result everywhere was a stagnant intellectual monoculture which lacked the single biggest ingredient that made America dynamic: a strong native rightwing ideology to fight with, and a demographic base of fast-breeding and religious but dumb peasants who could act as its soldiers. If you look at Australia, Canada or New Zealand, there simply is no strong equivalent to the evangelical Christians or to Red State Americans in general, and certainly nothing that has half the population on its side like it does in America. And why didn't the rightwing half of America establish any cultural colonies? Simple. Because they had no control over intellectual institutions that might disseminate rightwing ideas outside the unique cultural context of American peasantry. Of course, the American armies that conquered Europe were mostly composed of these rightwing peasants, but their role was simply to kill and die for their nation, not to reeducate the conquered populace.
I agree partially. But without the help of European and Asian Armies, (Russia, China, Great Britain and France) the US would not have achieved its position. If Europe and Japan are destroyed by left wing illusions originally imposed by american administrators, the US will loose their position in the "old world". But as Anglo Saxons always did, they will try to divide the powers of the old world by supporting always the second strongest. I see a mistake in American politics, to fight against Russia, because in the long run, China and the islamic world are more dangerous. The first because of its technological power, the second because of its refusal of left wing values and as a result a healthy demograhic development.
Hopefully, the USA gets a higher fertility rate in the future like 3 children per American woman. And hopefully the other Anglosphere countries, Japan, the EU and South Korea can also have 2 children per woman and higher too in the future...
It's easier than you think. Just push religion into the mainstream society and promote closed-off religious groups like the Amish. The fertility rate of an average American who attends Church weekly or more was 2.1 in 2020, which is comparable to countries such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal etc. The reason why America still has a higher fertility rate compared to other Western countries is mostly because of religiosity and overall economic stability. But I don't think it's going in that direction, in fact, it's going in the opposite direction. Nevertheless, religious Americans will continue to have more kids.

Have a look at the Dutch Bible belt, some parts of the Dutch Bible belt have fertility rates twice as high as the country's average and a thriving community even when the majority of Dutch people have become non-religious
Interesting point about family structure. Never thought about nuclear family in this way. I think I formulated a conclusion: Stay primitive and in the times of changes you will have a chance to succeed.
@@thomassenbartI agree, while going through this video I found the comparison between primitive and American family structures as strange. Although the second half of the video towards the end made an interesting point about America's cultural diffusion and its better handling of it.
A suggestion for a future video How do you think falling birthrates in in Europe would contribute to future politics? Do you think europe will be essentially forced to take in massive amounts of migrants from muslim countries and african countires to offset? Or would they go a full handmaidens tale route? If the former, how would you predict reactions to massive amounts of foreigners coming to many nation states in Europe? I wish this social topic was covered more which I feel like doesent get much attention from intellectuals. We saw many countries in europe such as Germany and Sweden that took many migrants from syria back in 2015 but since then the populist right has gained ground in both of these countries where even the talk of new refugees in Sweden is not common with the Swedish democrats winning elections. I would love to see more perspectives from centrists or liberals on how they plan on solving the issue of falling birthrates and population collapse without having to import foreigners who will have a very hard time integrating and assimylating into european values while also giving more ground to the right wing and appeal to xenophobia. Both of these are at odds with eachother.
western Europe is a goner. With little to no religion as a bulwark against the coming tide of an opposing religion and the phobic fear of being labeled as a r acist and low birthrate.
I dont think birthrates will affect the word as predicted in most studies, just like 50 years ago people thought that today will be overpopulated. Obviously there will be a crisis if not tackled but eventually things will have go back up, either naturally or via governement action, like dotrines and changing attitude towards reproduction or something. I cant see worst case scenarios like the Handmaid's tale becoming a necessity except if everyone just ingores the issue until its too late, a more likely scenario would be something like a minimum 2 child policy like china did to combat overpopulation or simply the banning of contraception. We're just going through a low phase so except if we panic or ignore the issue we'll still live. cant see mass migration being allowed in the old world either,if you just look at how europe responded when the refugee crisis happenned, which was really unsignificant in number really, ad the panic that it produced.
The EU will grow more and more anti immigration as a result of Africa’s worsening food/energy/security situation. The right will continue to be anti-migration, and the left will clamp down on migration in an effort to maintain power.
Remember you can be Wolfgang Pedro Luperazi of pure northern Italian/Spanish/German decent who moves form Argentina to the USA and you will still be marked as “Latino” not “white” by a guy who’s 10% west African 10% Jewish 40% Irish 10% Cherokee and 30% bacon grease in a demographic census.
In the USA, the term “white” has changed so often over time. When the Irish and Italians were immigrating to the USA in large numbers they were not considered white by Anglo Americans.
I do not see a difference between the family model of the Anglo-Saxons and the rest of Western Europeans, especially in the north. The social differences between the Anglo-Saxons, especially Americans, and the rest of Europe are not due to the family, but rather to social adaptation to the environment Compared to Europe, America has always been a free country with a larger area, more natural resources, and a smaller population. It was a unified state and there were few wars so it's natural that the standard of living in it is better, which gives the possibility of more freedom for the individual, more consumerism and higher birth rate
Well they were also unique in that they left Europe and most had a gripe with the contemporary European power structures at the time of the migration to the USA. You don't think that maybe there was some underlying genetic difference that drove their exodus from Europe?
The birthrate is from the immigrants, which we consume on levels that would be usually catastrophic for European/well-established populations and cultures. We are a borg culture, because we have to be, otherwise we would not be able to facilitate the constant importation and consumption of human capital to feed the ever-demanding increases in living standards and GDP line go up. 3rd generation Americans, without exception, are overwhelmingly far under replacement levels, and it's just getting worse, the only people having babies are the immigrants, who we quickly turn into functionally-sterile Americans within 3 generations.
@@RA9U1That’s not correct if you look at the statistics on birthrate by national origin. Especially more recently, as birthrates have fallen substantially in most origin countries of immigrants.
What if the Amish became sizable enough to represent mainstream American culture? I mean hypothetically it will most probably happen in the future assuming the birth rates remained stable.
They keep doubling in size every 19/20 years by the end of the century its projected to be 6 million and in 2200 atleast 100 million amish. Also they have the highest birth rate out of any nation or ethnic group,7+ for most communties but the old order scwhwartzentruber 10+, Higher than nigers,somalias or chad. With those countries listed they have high infant mortality rate, the amish have low infant mortality rate and their lifestyles of farmwork and carpentry needs they need the most free labour that God can provide as they say. They are among the fastest growing populations in the world. We just have to wait and see
@@riowhi7 Their population has been doubling about every 20 years, do the math. Would you be richer if you compounding doubled the value of a single penny every day for 31 days, or be paid $300,000 every day of those 31 days?
Not really it create more problems than solve. Most mixed kids go through identity crisis not feeling fully accept by either side. Race mixing destroy communities and families.
@@Nik29austria well that’s a straight up incorrect statement. White is recessive. So when you mix with white it makes your kid more white. It takes literally only two generations for a fully black person to mix with white to turn their kids fully white. For example, Patrick Mahomes dad is fully black. Mahomes is mixed, and Mahomes kids are white. This is not a one off thing but a consistent outcome. This is why there are some “pan African” ppl who are black that are strictly against interracial dating so they can perserve their blackness. I think that’s extremely weird and kind of naziish. But I’m not the one getting my blackness washed away. Bc I’m white. Overall interracial dating isn’t going to get less popular so it’s kind of inevitable.
Really like that you cite Emmanuel Todd a lot , he is a really good and respected author in France! He is one of the last historian/demograph that uses the Ecole des Annales method of crossing several fields to produce analysis.
As an American I know the common sentiment towards Europe is that Europe is backwards, barbaric and uncivilized compared to America but I generally find that as an unfair judgment. Although Europeans may be stuck in it's traditional values compared to freedom obsessed Americans, the way of life is barely compatible. Everyone having a car and the most advanced cell phones vs public transportation and carpooling or biking locally. Sure Americans might be technology obsessed more similar to Japan than Europe it doesn't mean Europe doesn't look to the future too. Sure American healthcare might be superior to European healthcare but that's because American healthcare comes at a premium versus being provided by the government. Europe is not obsessed with overconsumption like America is. If an American goes to a restaurant in Germany they might think the meals are small and overpriced but that has to do with the fact that farming laws in Europe are different than America and geographically there's an abundance of meat and vegetables that all have GMO's given the more vitamins and nutrients then an organic meal from Europe so Surprise Surprise America has an obesity problem. Going on the free speech attitude America has had that freedom for 200+ years but Europe depending on the country will value stability over the ability to say insults. An American can say a racial or religious slur but legally nothing can really be done other than social isolation for that person. In Europe that person might actually be fined because of hate speech laws and disturbance of the peace law's which aren't as common in the United States. Then when you add second amendment rights people will go to a shooting range on a weekly basis compared to Europeans who may have never shot a gun with the exception of Switzerland probably. Also with a lot of American liberal values the structure of honor is different for example family respect is earned not given as it is with the monarchies in Europe many Americans will find it cute and hilarious. But with those individual freedoms and the lack of family values comes at a cost which leads to a high divorce rate and Americans being estranged from their families. In Europe you can stay with your family until 30 in America you're out at 18 unless you go to college but as economics change in America with automation and job standards going up that's becoming less the case. In Europe you can depend on the love of your family and your local Town culture in America you might see your neighbors at a barbecue or something like that but your not really going to rely on them for anything. Also because we're such a cultural and genetic melting pot the personality traits differ from person-to-person way more drastically compared to a European village whose moral foundations and baseline personalities are more or less the same which leads to a lot less conflict in a local communities but in America every house has different house rules sometimes people go to sleep at different times, dress codes are different, allowing foul language or not, gender roles in that household and the role of children are different. In a way each house could be like a different country in the way it's run which is arguably why Americans have such a political divide compared to Europe. In Europe most local towns agree with each other so there's not much conflict. But in America a local school board meeting could look like the start of a civil war. That being said there's a general idea of acceptance of you live the way you want to live and I live the way I want to live. But Europe is more based around conformity and unification so if somebody strays from the local behavior they will get ostracized from the community or be the talk of the Town. But in America everyone that will copy that different person until there's a large group of people that act that way look at goth kids or skater Bros for example. America is so obsessed with being different that they almost wind up the same as everybody else ironically. I would say it's individualism at a fault, but politically it's cool to see the free-market ideas at work. Americans are very creative and outside-the-box thinkers and if something isn't working correctly they will look to all parts of the world in order to improve their system and put it up for debate. Although America may look very dysfunctional somehow it figures itself out with all the craziness and with that craziness innovation can be created. America has some mix of every culture that left their home culture because they hated it for some reason or another. An American may go to Europe and understand why their ancestors left and in a way saying that truly makes you an American.
My experience being a American is every American saying how terrible the USA is and how Europe is 100% perfect and can fo no wrong and we are terrible for being born here, terrible for being black white Hispanic whatever. Terrible for being left or right, gay or striaght, etc. I never heard anyone ever say Europeans are barbaric ever. That's news to me
@@baronvonjo1929 that's more from those who have traveled their or had to live their for a short period of time not the fantasy on TV that some Americans believe Europe to be. (Mostly on the west coast) many in the south or Midwest could care less about Europe and its affairs. Your flyover state American thinks America is greater than any country on earth and could do no wrong. Europe is full of unsophisticated commies. Again not my sentiment but the average from conversations I've had with other Americans in those regions.
As always, thank you for all the comments, both the praise and the constructive criticism! I will try to respond to them in the following days. I need to correct myself for a mistake I said in the video, which viewer @staeins informed me about. From 11:25, I speak about how there is a contradiction in our perception of different family systems, where the one perceived as the most modern is actually the most anachronistic, from the anthropological perspective, and the one perceived as the most primitive, the clan structure used in the Muslim world, is the most sophisticated since it has developed the longest in the area where the agriculture has been practiced the longest. The mistake I made lies in the fact that the family system sedentary agricultural societies used was the patrilineal stem family system, in which primogeniture is used, and the oldest son with his family lives with the father and inherits the belongings which help to preserve the wealth within the family. The nomadic Arabic, Turkic, and other conquerors imposed the clan structure with high levels of cousin marriage on the agricultural middle-east populations. The nuclear family allegedly often used by the pre-agricultural societies, was misplaced by the Stem, or authoritative, patrilineal family system, and the clan structure brought by the nomads stood outside of this development and was then imposed by the nomadic conquerors. I again checked the book I used as a source; its information agrees with what @staeins writes in his comment. Thus, the notion that the family structure often perceived as the most primitive is actually the most sophisticated is, at least partially, not correct and I stand corrected. I had to mix it up in my head when writing. I apologize for the mistake and I thank @staeins for pointing it out. Edit: The part where I say the incorrect statement could, fortunately, be relatively smoothly edited out, which I did. Thank you!
The homicide rate mentioned briefly around the 10:00 mark was a massive oversimplification. Look at homicide rates by state (or better yet, county), and it's a completely different picture. New Hampshire, where I live, has a rate of 1.4 homicides/year per 100,000 people, which would be unremarkable in Europe. Many southern or heavily-urbanized states have rates 5-10x higher.
Your explanation of the fascination europeans have with America is spot on. Very well said, this is exactly how it is. America is the strongest country in the world and the biggest empire there ever was (here I refer to the cultural and political influence they have, not their territory) and this is because they kept something primal about them. They combine the best of the primal and civilized side of humans to become a strong country. Sure, we europeans live in general better lives, americans live more stressfully, but that good life spoils us and makes us weak. And things that are weak eventually break. I personally blame the wars of the 20th century, all our strong and primal men died in these wars, we were bled out of our strength and we did it to ourselves. Hopefully something will make us wake up again ... cough cough Russia...
@@alastairthegreat2887 Depends on the area, I guess. Example I live in a area were many don't have running water and still use coal and wood burning stoves for heat and food hell there is a entire town I like to call shack city because most of the houses there are made out of plywood. Where if you get in a scuffle and the cops are called they can be there at times thirty or up to two hours, hell, the cops literally don't usually patrol outside of towns once you leave city limits its you I've had a cop literally tell me that when a dog hamstringed my younger brother nothing happened since it happened outside the city it was up to use to figure it out. I am speaking of course of the dreaded place known as the largest reservation in the U.S a dreadful place where rez dogs wild dogs basically scuffle about and are used as target practice, and people drink and die in winter from exposer. Not sure I stressful Europe is though, I probably would have a panic attack trying to live like them I would think.
That is an outdated view of America, people in Europe still tend to think of America as it was up through the 90's, that America has been eroded away, and even it was a mockery of what came before we got involved in the two disastrous world wars. Americas future is all downhill at this point, the demographics, incompetence leading every major institution, and a military that is being held together by tape and glue, we are still living on the fumes of our past reputation somehow despite bungling every war we've been involved in post World War 2 and even that was not the victory that people remember it as.
I'm not sure if I would agree with everything said here. However, just like with Whatifalthist, I think lots of the stuff said in your videos are just interesting to consider. Both of yall just make me consider the world differently and make realizations I didn't even consider. I would hope everyone could see and appreciate that even if they disagree with you.
Whatifalthist is horrible. Unhistorical and unscientific. His videos are just mildless culture war. It's a 2020s Incel view of history and modern politics. His sources are also... hilarious and often its just his super biased opinion
Absolutely underrated channel. You manage to tackle the subject while remaining relatively objetcive and mostly not going astray into wierd political rants like some channels fall into. A great european alternative to Whatifalthist and his exceedingly dumb statements and views Love your channel, crazy you started just this year and produce bangers from the start. I hope your channels doesnt turn into another one of those political podcast because no one wants to hear your opinion, stick to what you're doing while upping your production quality and eventually you'll be on par with Kraut and others great channels.
America is an enigma for many Europeans since most Americans are European derived but have some significant differences in values and ideals. I agree that America is a complex land and is a vast one with a plethora of cultures which makes it very difficult to categorize. But I disagree with the French anthropologist about American social structure which is nuclear but an archaic feature. Rather, it is the opposite. It is a very modern family structure which began in England with modernization developing in the 1500's and 1600's. It is true that American mobility intensified nuclear family patterns as well as the desire for economic success. But an archaic social structure. No! Tribalism and extended family clan systems are examples of traditional life before the agricultural revolution. American religiosity has always been a puzzle for Europeans. This was most famously expressed by the French writer De' Tocqueville from his travels in the early 1800's. He interpreted it as connected to freedom of choice. The end of state churches and now having the ability to make ones own decisions in life developed a passion for religion in the early American society. Certainly, American religion can explain the present higher fertility rates among European derived Americans. Also,Latin American immigrants have a higher fertility rate. So, thanks for the thought provoking video but the America story is hard to encapsulate in a short presentation.
Thank you for your insight! But I have to disagree with your conclusion regarding the nuclear family. policytensor.substack.com/p/the-churchs-crusade-against-cousin This is an essay (not too long to read) that is a very nice distillation of why is Todd likely right on this matter and his opponents likely wrong (that is not absolute of course, new findings might be found and change the scientific consensus).
@@kaiserbauch9092 Have you read any of De'Toqueville? He is considered to be one of the best commentaries on American life. He came to study in the 1800's the innovations in American penal systems and then traveled throughout the country. There is an important literature on the history of family structure and the history of childhood, which is mainly by British historians, that discusses the development of the nuclear family in England. That is why I stated that it first occurred in the 1500's there and then spread to its colonies. Of course, England was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution which profoundly effected family structure and intensified the nuclear family orientation. So, I conclude that it is a feature of modernization and not an archaic social system.
11:56 what if the reason ameircans continuously out compete europe despite not looking like it is again that “uncivilized” character. The majority of civilizations throughout history have usually gotten out competed by various steppe people who conquer the society despite being outnumbered. What if anglo-American culture has created a tribal identity allowing Americans to basically become the closest thing to steppe people for an industrial world that favors centralized states. An outer state structure but one that allowed Americans to act on a primitive nomadic level. Tribal peoples also tended to be richer and have a higher standard of living even at the time of the Roman’s with the Germanic kingdoms seeing massive rise in standards of living. Maybe america evolves as sort of future industrial steppe-like people in a world after actual native frontiers are gone.
Or America hasn't gone through the cycles yet that other civilizations do. The closest thing to a fall/decline of American civilization is the civil war. America will probably break up in the next century or two, until someone puts it back together again.
That’s exactly how we conquered everything beyond the Mississippi River. Basically flooded the place with opportunists having many kids. The reason we are stagnating is because of liberalism more or less CRUSHING our ability to have kids AND to seek opportunities pragmatically
I'll see you out there on the North American Steppe with a raider band of square-body GMC technicals after the bombs drop. Maybe we'll be on the great expansive steppe of space, blasting each other with cancer weapons and other deviously horrific inventions...?
America's problem is not quantity but quality, 😔, with immigration and the increase in number of non white Americans due to more reproduction, the character of the US will change innevitably and will take on a more global south character, if the number of European and North East Asian continues to decrease the global north character of the US will be lost, that is their major problem.
True but europe is crashing kinda with this Russia ukraine war. Maybe we can limit immigration to English speaking euros (of any race) and hope it increases the quality of our county. Plenty of nice black british people or nice white Swedes who speak perfect English and are skilled. Unlike all the 3rd worlders we have who flood over our border and pop out anchor babies today
America is about 75% european in terms of people and 7% northeast asian and the gene pool is some 80% european. The US census is genuinely very moronic and classifies european people as brown if they're spanish, or had any ancestors in latin america. Europe is way more likely to see major demographic changes at this point. American white population is also deliberetly undercounted.
yeah , i dont understand this peter zeihan pro American talking point yeah America population is growing but it European descendent populace is actually declining both in pure number and even more so in % , America will grow but will it be the same America if it become a mainly latino country by 2100 , China can also do the same and import hundreds of millions of african to grow but will it still be China if it did that
How tf does having NE Asian people make a country more "European"? This just sounds like some cowardly way to make some 14/88 talking points but being a snake about it. I am in no way some open borders sp*c but this whole fetishization of East Asians by the 14/88 crew annoys me; especially when those said 14/88s only do it because they're incapable of getting a white waifu and so resort to an Asian waifu.
Im always fascinated by foreign views, amd especially stereotypes of Americans. Especially the one in Japanese Anime of the happy, excessively friendly blond with an excessive gun collection.
Very good video, however, something for you to reevaluate for your next video is your statement regarding America’s future demographic makeup, and the idea that it would lead it to drift away from Europe, atleast in part. Some factors to consider: 1. Hispanics are, by and large, White/European, they are of majority European heritage, and intermarriage with White Americans is occurring at such a massive scale that Hispanic identity fades within a few generations, and even now most Hispanics identify as White in the US on the census. 2. Republican Hispanics, who are becoming ever increasingly popular and numerous, in part due to higher birth rate, and in part due to Hispanics trending as hard to the Right as they are. I am unsure of how much you look at American politics, however, Hispanics have been voting more and more Republican quite consistently for several years, projections indicate that Hispanics will be majority Republican voters within 5-10 years. This is significant due to the very interesting factor of Right wing Hispanic Americans being far *more* in support of protecting White European Heritage then even White Americans, an article from the Manhattan institute called, “Hispanic Americans Are No Longer ‘Minority Voters’” goes over this. 3. Asian and Black Americans are virtually entirely assimilated into White American culture, somewhat due to intermarriage, and somewhat due to the underlying values those who migrated to America held on part of the Asians, while for Blacks the culture they hold currently is a White American culture, Thomas Sowell goes over this extremely detailed in his book, “Black Rednecks, White Liberals”. I hope this comment made it through and it serves you well! Keep working on your incredible content, I’m excited to see more.
1. Hispanics are not white, they are nonwhite mongrels. the end. 2. It's not possible for nonwhites to ever "assimilate" into White culture because they don't share our genetics/DNA/biospirit. 3. Nonwhites tribalize against whites whenever possible to advance their own interests at the expense of the host white population and think of their laws/regulations/values as toilet paper. It's not in their genetic makeup to understand this. 4. You're living in a fantasy land
Where did you get your figures for Austro-Hungarian immigration from? You didn't mention the Polish, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the majority of the immigration from A-H was probably Polish. ;)
@@kaiserbauch9092 For Czechs its important not to be Pro-American or Pro-Russian, but to be Pro-Greek, Cyril and Methodios came to baptize the Czech and Slovak nation and gave you guys the written Slavic language so that Czechs could be autonomous and free and instead you let the Germans walk all over you for more than 1,000 years.

Wow. I woke up today and thought how nice would be to have one new video of yours to watch this morning. Thanks Bro. Btw you should do a video on Brazil´s demografics it is a complete chaos but really interesting to see the aftermath of many forces on the population.
You can look at crime by race but that doesn’t show causation. You could also say that most crime is concentrated in cities or committed by poor people. How can you know that race is the primary factor in crime compared to living in a city or poverty? What you have to do is control for those variables with a multi variate analysis. What is the disparity in crime rate between races after controlling for these variables? This is the more productive question to ask. For example, if it turns out that a lack of education is the main driver of crime, then efforts should be placed on the educational system rather than on race politics. The history of segregation and red lining in America has meant that schools with predominantly black students have been underfunded. That is because public schools in America are funded by property taxes, but due to red lining, property owned by black Americans has been explicitly devalued. Red lining was made illegal sometime in the late 60s, but nonetheless it has a lasting effect. If black schools are under funded leading to worse education outcomes, and poor educational outcomes are a cause of crime, then is it really fair to say that the race of an individual is causing a higher crime rate? Until you consider all these nuances, you should refrain from holding onto a simplistic worldview where one variable dictates your stance on an issue as complex as crime.
@@fudgefactor1639 You said a whole load of nothing. Mostly assumptions based on anecdotal information. The fact is poverty and violent crime actually do not go hand in hand. There is a famous Columbia study showing that nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of New York City's Asian population was impoverished, yet they commit crime at very low rates. Nonetheless, I have never indicated that race alone is causation, rather, all I’m saying is that there is a definite correlation. Read carefully instead of being triggered. (Nice job liking your own comment, talk about insecurities)
As a naturalized American, I can say this much: you couldn't pay me enough to live anywhere else. It's not just about the standard of living, it's about the individualism. There's an expectation of being left the fuck alone here, up to and including the ownership of semiautomatic rifles. To me, that's beautiful!
I know how you feel. I am a Canadian but while on one hand I am kind of resentful towards the US (since their existence means we can never become a great country), I also recognise that they do things a lot better, especially after listening to many Americans online. What I always find kind of sad and paradoxical is how many of the things that I don't like as a conservative about America such as its libertarianism, feminism and very democractic system is probably also what is keeping it from becoming too liberal. It certinaly is a unique place
Even without the US existence Canada still wouldn’t be a great nation. You guys are still sucking up the British crown instead of forging your own identity. That and you have more land than people and most of it isn’t arable
Very interesting dive into my own nation via an outsider's point of view. Though I do disagree with point made at the 10:35 mark. Maybe it is because I live near DC, and know a lot of people who were or currently employed in the federal government, but the US is certainly not lacking in "centralized authority". Quite the opposite, though that's just my point of view. Otherwise, great video, can't wait for part 2!
Normally I hold my tongue when Euros make silly comments about the USA disguised as profound observations.. It's not worth the trouble . However I like you and your channel . There is a brain somewhere behind that voice, and the quality of your content is pretty high . I just think your take on Kyle Rittenhouse come from a total ignorance of the facts of the case . It isn't at all indicative of some disturbing yet fascinating tendency of Americans to take the law into their own hands . It IS however an excellent example of the anarcho -tyranny into which the globalists are pushing the free societies of the west . The police department of Kenosha Wisconsin had set up a perimeter around the edge of the city AFTER the antifa rioters had already arrived , shutting up the residents and merchants of downtown Kenosha IN WITH THE RIOTERS . The governor of Wisconsin did not see the need to send in the state police or the national guard ( at least until a third of the businesses downtown had been burned to the ground and one elderly African American gentlemen had been beaten to death by thugs who were setting his house on fire ). For hours the mob was free to reenact their own little Krystal Nacht on the citizens of Kenosha . The " law " did NOTHING . The rioters were in fact the pampered shock troops of the globalist establishment . None of them were arrested . not the ones who burned down an entire used car lot cars and all , not the ones who murdered an old man , not the ones who randomly assaulted and beat local residents who had the misfortune to be on the street that night . Kyle Rittenhouse was however arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as though he were an enemy of the state . ( In a very real sense he was) Now this is going to seem a bit strange to your eastern European sensibilities but we have a doctrine in America that regards the bargain between the individual citizen and the state as being two sided . The citizen renounces his right to public personal violence in exchange for the assurances from the state that it will keep public order . A citizens who kills someone in an act of private personal revenge no matter how serious the wrong perpetrated against him by his victim has violated his end of the social contract and must be brought to trial by the state. A state that selectively enforces the law or doesn't enforce it at all is also in violation .
I would understand that citizen of Kenosha would defend their propriety. But its hard to understand a teenager who doesnt need to be involved to take a gun and play a policeman. In Europe and expecially Eastern and Central Europe is common culture of "minding of your own business". What is not concern of yours you will not get involved into.
@@TheIgdrasil1So if your father's side of the family lives in a city it is none of your business what goes on in that city because you live a few miles away?
@@alastairthegreat2887 Kyle went with a military gun from Illinois to Wisconsin. To actively go with AR15 into violent riot is crazy. Thats like I would go into a brawl in a medieval inn and did not expect that I would get punch in my face. Riot is a crazy mess and I would avoid such a event and not go there even if you would pay me. Rittenhouse did not have a propriety in that city. He had nothing to protect. He lived in different city, county and state. I understand that he is not guilty, but to venerate him as right wingers do is another example of craziness of USA. He is but very stupid person and not a hero.
Fair enough. I now kind of regret that I used the Kyle Rittenhouse example in connection with the word vigilante, since it made people angry and I agree that he does not really fit the term very well and he was defending himself. I will address this in the next part of the video. But on the other hand, if what you are saying is true and the law did nothing, is it not the perfect example of the imperfect monopoly on legitimate violence by the state? Since one would just expect that police won't let rioters or protesters demolish private or public property and the fact that armed citizens have to do it instead is very strange in itself. Why did the law do nothing? And I did not mean it at all as a demeaning "euro" comment about the US. I am also very annoyed by such comments, since they often come from a place of jealousy and envy. But the fact that USA are really the only wealthy developed country in the world where such things happen is just a descriptive truism. I am not judging it, but you won't see anything similar in Europe, developed East Asia, Singapore, Australia, rich Arab gulf states, nowhere. So I thought it was a good example of American uniqueness.
@@TheIgdrasil1 We too have a culture of mind your own business . My fellow Americans who have spent time in Europe are constantly coming home with funny stories of the almost unbelievably intrusive busybody culture that exists there , particularly in Germany . So we must be looking at two different versions of Europe. Kyle Rittenhouse had both family and friendship ties to Kenosha . Friends of his father's side of the family owned property downtown and in fact kept the gun that he used that night until he could legally register it in his own name in the state where he lived . ( Illinois ) Wisconsin is much more lenient than Illinois is in allowing teenagers to legally own firearms. The town where Rittenhouse lived with his mother is less than 16 km. from Kenosha . Kyle spent the entire evening helping family and friends guard their property and socializing with their neighbors . As the night wore on , he ventured into the streets along with a number of other people ON BOTH SIDES to administer first aid to the injured , some of whom needed stabilizing care . Street surveillance cameras as well as hundreds of smart phone phone videos show him moving in and out of the crowds with his rifle on his shoulder not exactly mowing people down. The shooting does not begin until Rittenhouse is PHYSICALLY threatened with harm.
America has become so diverse that we honestly see eachother as being from different nations sometime. It's hard to believe a state as dystopian as California resides within the same country as a state as care-free as Florida. I think the is partly why some politicians such as the former Speaker of the House call for a National Divorce. As much as I hate Pelosi, I do believe she is smart enough to know that the diversity and ever-growing differences between the States could be this countries downfall. And it would coincide with Lincoln's theory that the US will never fail because of a foreign invader, but because of ourselves. Question is, could we as a country become so diverse that the idea of our States being United under one country be thrown out the window? We're already seeing some people (myself included) openly exclaim that they're more proud to be from the State they live in than proud to be an American, so it's not impossible that could become a reality nationwide. Do you guys think it's possible we could decentralize too much? And what are the consequences of doing so?
We at least need to limit inter state migration my tiny beach town in Florida has been flooded with people from up north and Texas it’s unrecognizable. I don’t care how they vote I just want them out of my state
"as Europeans we think we are more civilized" Where, now where have I heard that one before? I'm sure that can't be a new belief/talking point for Europeans.
Your ambassador is correct. We are almost different civilizations now because of the tremendous differences between the European and American Enlightenments.
@@kaiserbauch9092Not sure where people get the Indian accent thing from. I thought your accent was somewhat similar to the German exchange students I knew in highschool.
It´s so great to see literally anybody who takes the time to learn about America´s makeup, not even Americans ever do this lol. I love these demographic deep dives, keep them coming! One thing I will say about the Sun Belt becoming the next American center though, at least for the Eastern half (Texas onward) the governments are historically extremely conservative, and the local governments absolutely refuse to invest in any sort of infrastructure needed to sustain a population of any size. That's why Mississippi and Alabama are poor as dirt and nobody lives in the Gulf regions of these states, and they are notoriously unappealing to live in due to their terrible institutions and services. The civilized parts of the country see the South as a complete shithole. Unless some drastic changes occur I doubt that the South/Sun Belt can ever be a truly important part of America, there will at least need to be a reckoning with their overwhelming conservatism and the tendency towards authoritarianism and suppression by their establishment. It has held them back so terribly.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling preserving tribal preferences in Native American adoptions is expected to preserve the demographic existence of various tribal identities in the U.S. Me, an American without any family connection to any tribe, am proud to know that the nation continues to respect the tribal nations independence.
Can’t really say it respects their independence, there are many treaties that the government has broken and continues to break. Some just recently they’ve been forced by the courts to observe, such as 2019’s McGirt vs. Oklahoma, which mandated that half of Oklahoma be rightfully recognized as native land (the practical effect being that the tribal courts, not the state government, have authority over natives living in that area)
Americas violence rates are because of demographics. White Americans have the same homicide rates as Europeans, while demographically transitioned regions of Europe like Paris or Malmo become as dangerous as America
The primary dictators of crime in the US are class and education. Due to history, Jim Crow etc the race statistics are as bad as they are but race/ethnicity is not the deciding factor.
Competition among uses of force means constant evaluation of its legitimate use. When a single, unitary state monopolizes the use of force, it can call anything "legitimate".
European Americans had not preserved our identity post ww2 it became “American” the white racial classification is also an outdated British term for slavery etc European American is just the correct term for majority of the population
Thanks for the GREAT content and informative use of media. I've been binge watching your videos overnight and can't think of running out of them soon 😢 Btw, what was that inner Indian accent joke about?

27:11 "I cannot imagine such sects living in contemporary Europe for many reasons" You don't have to imagine bc they live here, great examples are Leastadians in Finland (tfr around 4 or 5) and Orthodox Calvinists in Netherlands that live in Dutch bible belt (much higher fertility than county's average but I couldn't find exact numbers). Both of these groups exists in western nations in contemporary EU and are doing relatively well (there is more information about leastadians and they are demographically thriving)
I am aware of both of them, and I actually made a whole video about it: ruclips.net/video/mnIo2zQOYPw/видео.html&ab_channel=KaiserBauch With the Dutch bible belt, the fertility is significantly higher than average, but neither the fertility or the level of seclusion and pre-modernness is not comparable to Amish. They are more similar to conservative evangelicals in the US, IMO. As for the Laestadiands, their fertility was likely very high during the 20th century, but there are no data on the retention rates (how many young people growing up in the communities stay there and keep practicing in adulthood) or the precise fertility. But I agree that if some examples in contemporary Europe are coming close, it's these two. The sparsely populated Finland might offer certain characteristics similar to the USA in geographic regard.

I'm 65 years old and English, born in England. I can assure you that the White English have massive diversity depending on where they were born and brought up within the relatively tiny England. In my childhood there were stark differences between the transient Irish travelling groups and the locals way before significant non-White migration. The differences between the White English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish, customs and language are large. White English let alone White Europeans are highly diverse before you ever start consideration migration to or from other parts of the Earth.
I noticed that when I visited.
I think what makes us Americans more unique, however were two factors:
1) Expectations. Ethonationalism and tribalismis a huge no-no here. If it ever took root, the Union would risk falling apart. Hence we really only mandate a common language be spoken and baseline freedoms/customs guaranteed. Hence we focus on fighting about more important things, such as religion. This allows a lot of isolated pockets to fragment and grow quite rapidly, but also move without nearly as much resistance, so it’s like dice getting re-shuffled in many places due to economics.
2) Geography. As people move about, they basically have to change in order to meet their new climate. Hence new cultures can spring up. For example, Deseret (now Utah) saw the Mormons dropped some of their 19th century attire. Pennsylvania Dutch invented Groundhog Day because the region lacked Wiesels for which their old cultures used for the superstitious tradition. Black Americans in the North were opportunists (mostly agnostic) and hence have a completely different culture than in the Deep South (far more religious). Hawaiian-American culture spreading into the mainstream in some places, Spanish skyrocketing in popularity in some places thanks to music from California, Texans wrangling cows instead of sheep from the East coast
The effects of the various British culutral groups had on the states is fairly well-known by American historians, but that info is only slowly starting to percalate through the rest of society. The most obvious examples are that the northern states were primarily settled by people from the southeast of Englad while the southern states were primarily settled by people from northern and western England as well as Ulster Scots. This led to Southerns being, as someone put it, "sweet as can be, will slit your throat", while Northerners gained a reputation of being cold and focused on global trade.
However, I've noticed that most of hte historians who point out these differences are either from the North or attended northern university, and thus present the South in a bad light. So, as a southerner myself, I'd like to point out that the North was founded by radical Puritans who moved to the Netherlands for religious liberty, hated it, moved to the New World with the expressed goal of founding a theocracy, and have been trying to force whatever their morals happen to be at the time onto the rest of America ever since.

France actually in the 11th century had almost 8 million inhabitants in a smaller area than today, and would have been approaching 20 million at the start of 1300 before the 100 years war and the black death
Well, that makes the disparity between French and English even larger in the 11th century.
France stopped producing children after Napoleon and the population did not grow much until WW1. I never understood why.
17:58 From what I've seen the Thirteen Colonies/U.S. imported about 400,000 African slaves. Still a lot, but not in the millions (and far less than places like Brazil or The Caribbean).
The actual 8 millions claimed to be the number of blacks enslaved to be taken to Brazil is actually a not factual number, there is no data to back such number as well. Until 50 years ago the number was 2 million. Knowing the amount of ships transporting blacks and the price of these slaves and how much the landlords made (there are plenty of documents backing it) it was way more likely the number was between 1.8-2.2 million. Take note many of them would die in the way since they were raided in their tribes or sold by their parents in the markets, probably even more than the ones that arrived alive in Brazil. Also most blacks that arrived in the US were taken by the Brazilian route.
Always wondered why Brazil never had the crazy race violence like we do. They even outlawed slavery decades after Americans did.
@@baronvonjo1929 Latins do have race violence, it's just different in its dynamics, I discussed this with a Mexican friend before. Since there is more of a spectrum of shades down South, it's colorism. Never heard of "mejorar la raza" or "blanqueamiento"?
@@baronvonjo1929because Anglos had segregation while Iberians had a policy of ultra race mixing orgies, so natives blacks and Iberians just racemixed their issues away
@@baronvonjo1929 We don't and never have had crazy race violence. Incidents have happened and the infamous lynchings too, though only 4700 or from 1882-1968, with 1/3 of those non-blacks. Also, we had legal discrimination, racism and segregation. More Black people are killed every 6 months or so in the US today, from other Blacks obviously. Some 7500 murders per annum (black on black), fully 50% of all murders in the USA committed by a very small percentage of the population. Blacks are 13% overall, men half of that and those doing the killing a very small subset of those males, with 1/3 of Black men having men incarcerated, on parole or in prison currently.
The situation in Brazil is one of almost half the country being of mixed ancestry 42% and almost half being white, 51% with currently a small number being black 5%. These percentages were arrived at because the government deliberately attempted and encouraged a 'whitening' of the population through European immigration and race mixing. When Blacks were freed in Brazil, their percentage of the population was about 20%.
You hit the nail right on the head. As a Canadians I feel both horrified and endlessly fasciacted by the USA. It's such a dynamic place, and I often feel our people lack that energy and passion. There are so many layers and aspects to American society that you just don't see elsewhere or they eventually get exported. People often clown on Americans for not being interested in the wrold, but why would they? America has enough lol

@dunnowy123 It's naive to think Americans aren't interested in the world when they're plenty of Americans who travel outside of the U.S.
That’s true but it’s also true that probably most Americans never leave the country, partly because of the long distance (and cost) and partly because you don’t have to leave the country to experience any climate or activity other than specifically wanting to experience foreign places and cultures.
Yes, the US isn't Europe. Americans can't get on a train and go 4 hours in any direction and be in a different country. Being well traveled in Europe, as a European, is nothing to really brag about. I can get in a car and drive East for literally 45 hours and still be in the US lmao.

I agree with you, but I wanted to show the European perspective, where in most countries is basically unimaginable for a private citizen with a semi-automatic (If I am incorrect about the type of rifle he used, I am sorry, I am not a gun-buff) rifle would go to keep the peace somewhere during such riots. But I am not condemning it at all.
@@kaiserbauch9092 He was a violent White supremacist.
@@kaiserbauch9092 I have question, when riots happen in Europe example when the Kurdish mates rioted in France after a Kurd died and they went ape shit if the cops don't do anything would a European just sit there and just take it? In the U.S during recent riots many police had their hands tied. A example in my state in the capital the sheriff didn't have enough resources nor support the governor to keep the peace. So he asked help for the local militia to patrol certain areas of the city. The sheriff of a county in the U.S has the right to raise his own force from the general population if need be is their something similar in European nations for local government? Or just civilians themselves forming to stop say rioters burning down a business district, while the government is only protecting a few key government buildings during the riot? Just curious.
Well, I am from post-communist Europe and of the perks of that is the fact that such riots never happens here. Literally never since the revolution of 1989 there was something akin to BLM riots or the rioting in France. So I do not know how the public would react and, to be frank, Czechs would never riot like that, even though gun laws are very benevolent here in the European context. But in France, and overall Western Europe, I think it is basically completely left to the police to react and non-rioters just go inside.
As I made in another post, there is a strong regional diversity of European Americans. For instance, I live in Michigan and we have some of the country’s largest communities of Poles (largely in Detroit and northern Michigan) and Dutch (in the West). Go to the Upper Peninsula (basically the Alaska of the Midwest) and many Finns live up there too.
Sure, I will look into this in the next part of this series.
In the Texas hill country it is a lot of German white people. It used to be so German that they had to force the populace to speak English.
I agree. However, the demographics of Michigan are changing in regards to immigration. Many newly arrived peoples coming from Latin America and the Arab world. Many schools in Michigan are encouraging students to learn Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.
@@ericp0012 Yes, but that's not much different than what is seen elsewhere. Plus, compared to a state like California, for instance, Michigan is still overwhelmingly white.
@@ElTigre12024Most Hispanic people are 60-90% White so they should be added to the total, it’s like how the U.S. didn’t classify Italians, Irish, or Greeks as White for a long time. Them being added increases the total a lot and they keep the total White population increasing.
As a Texan, my family fought in both the American Revolution and the Texas Revolution. The things talked about in the video ring very close to my own family's history.

I find a reckoning of the American crime/violence rate EXCEEDINGLY incomplete without mentioning that, if broken down by race, the white violence rate is below that of Europe, not least of that among the Czechs. Disregarding any noise about "racist undertones" (which apparently should mean objective knowledge needs to be suppressed), does that not contain enough interesting and meaningful implications to warrant a mention (not least such that defeat your point about how this apparently shows a societally different structure of power monopoly, when instead the violence is extremely compartmentalized by region/social strata, meaning e.g. uber-white Maine has absolutely no different power monopoly relation compared to Czechia)?
Also your intellectuals are Karolina Keyzer and another guy talking about how modern architecture is ugly. So while they are definitely snobbish Western European intellectuals, they are also based.
That’s actually incorrect, the White American crime rate is vastly underreported. FBI data is willfully given by police departments and not all police departments give their data to the FBI. Also, BlackAmerican communities are over policed and White American communities are under policed. Additionally, if you take into consideration financial fraud, medical abuse, political corruption, and etc White Americans commit the majority of crimes in the USA. Lastly, arrests do not equate to someone being actually guilty of a crime bc many Black American men have been wrongfully arrested and never convicted of a crime and they’re 7x more like to have a conviction overturned speaks volumes.
Yes. Wether you believe there's something fundamentally wrong with certain races or if they've been forced upon a bad path we can mutter over later, information should not be suppressed.
Actually white Americans are about 3x more violent than Europeans on average and even in the supposedly racially homogenous 50s, a time when black people committed way less crime than whites,the crime rate and violent crime rate were 5x larger than Western Europe still.
I hope he'll address this in depth in the next part, but youtube is not exactly kind to channels that tackle race and crime stats objectively-
White Americans are definitely not below Europeans in violence. There is no data that supports this. They are generally 2 to 3 times higher

If you enjoy stories about the contrast between technological/economic progress and social regression (violence and decentralization), then i have a hell of a recommendation for you.
"Tales from the Terran Republic" Its a Sci-fi story taking place around 3200 with its primary world-building that the story and characters build off of being that around 3000, the Yellowstone Supervolcano blew up blew. This event took a peaceful, prosperous, and practically united world (that had colonized the solar system and was on the verge of FTL) and threw it into a dark age it has not fully recovered from.
This dark age didn't happen because the volcano killed everyone, no it happened because the ash blocked out the sun and killed all the crops for a couple years. People then started killing each other for food and all societies and governments fell, preventing large scale agriculture even after the sun came out. When the fighting stopped 10 years later (because aliens invaded earth, this a sci-fi story) all the surviving humans were hyper-individualist, hyper-educated (all the dump people starved), hyper-violent, and organized into well armed and lead tribes and clans (and those clans remained that way even after central government was reestablished). This put human culture at odds with basically all aliens, since those aliens had a cultural foundation in a functional government. This makes the humans the Americans and the aliens the Europeans in your comparison, and it results in some very interesting interactions and culture clashes.

Nice to see an European not knee jerk attack America for it's role in WW2 and also not completely diminish the Soviet effort either with a realist understanding of both. I also find the way Americans are able to move about their country quite interesting to consider too. You don't see that in as many other countries, though Chinese citizens have started moving en masse around in similar ways. We see that by how during every Chinese New Years with Chinese laborers going back home to celebrate it's an immense amount of people traveling.
Well in China and much of the world, it is classic urbanisation. People move from villages and small towns to big economic centres. That is basically universal. But Americans are more prone to moving from one large city to another.
Why would Europeans "knee jerk attack America for it's role in WW2"? I've heard criticisms of details about how the US handled WW2 in Europe and that Americans give themselves too much credit for the "Allied" victory, but, unless you're talking about Neo-Nazi types, I've never heard of Europeans presenting the US's role in WW2 as negative overall.
Ahh USA, I always felt some kind of connection to this country, and to be truthful many Poles did and still do.

@@forgemaster6120 So, I just want to inform you all that I decided to take this last video down from RUclips. It was not an easy choice since I spent many days working on it, but my inner doubtful side finally prevailed, and I will try to explain my reasoning in this comment. While I stand behind the majority of the things that I have said in the video, especially about the futility of cutting down on CO2 emissions in the developed world in contrast with rising CO2 levels worldwide because of the economic ascendence of the developing world, after reading many of the comments and deeply thinking about them, I had to admit to myself several things. I do not know as much about the topic at hand, the topic being Climate change and the science behind it, as I probably felt I did when I made the video. I did my fair share of research, but I just cannot shake off the suspicion that many personal biases impacted my conclusions. These biases may have led to me purposefully seeking information sources that reassured my already existing opinions. Basically, I decided beforehand what conclusions I want to find, at least a little bit.
I am really, thoroughly annoyed by the hysteric climate activists and many of the dishonest methods they use to pressure the public to act according to their visions, which made me more contrarian and combative in my argumentation than I needed to be. While I stand behind the thesis that the alleged scientific consensus behind the claims that the CO2 emissions emitted by human industrial activity are the undisputable and only source of the current climate changes is not as firm as it is often presented, and there are many highly respected scientists with dissenting opinions, I have to admit to myself and my viewers that the topic is not as close to my heart as the other topics that I make videos about, such as demographics, immigration or history. I have not read as many books, and my views are not as deeply rooted in the study of the subject. I am not necessarily persuaded that the things I said in the video are not true, but I am not as sure as I want to be that they are right. Since I do not want to be just another RUclips channel pandering to already convinced audiences about political talking points, but I want to bring interesting and unique content genuinely based on my research, I thus decided to take this video down from RUclips.
For all my viewers that did not manage to watch it or liked it and would like to maybe rewatch it, it will be available on my Patreon for free, not only for my Patrons, so anyone who reads this comment can watch the video. Maybe I will revisit this topic after reading more books and studies with a more level-headed approach. I am aware that it will probably be seen by some of my viewers as a lame move or succumbing to the pressure of people roasting me in the comments, but I would not do this if I did not feel the inner persuasion that I truly do not stand on such a firm ground as, for example, in my videos about immigration to Western Europe, that also attracted their fair share of heat and negative attention. Anyway, I hope you will understand this, will not bail on me, and I will see you in my next video, The Demographic Deep Dive: United States of America.

The easiest way to describe the U.S. Is "Energy". Sometimes dangerous sometimes backwards but dynamic and always moving.
My father was a black man from Texas, who was born in 1944. He was a Vietnam Vetran and he passed away in 2021. He told me that racism was always a bitch in this country, but after traveling the world in the military, he saw great potential in American society. I love the concept that America as a nation includes different race,ethnicities, and creeds as one people under the same flag. What would make this country better would be a transfer of wealth to all Americans and not just white families, like what we did in the 50's
Could you please describe what we did in the 50s that transferred wealth?
And how, pretale, would you go about this "transfer of wealth to all Americans"? Good luck with a non-authoritarian strategy. Otherwise, it just comes down to "I know you, so you've got the inside info on how to get as much out of this as possible." Not even to mention that Congress has outsourced most legislating to the executive branch at this point.

@@westbdeon I wonder if you're familiar with inflation, and how that "check sent to everyone" was a part of that. The whole "money printer go brrr" meme exists for a reason.
Inflation is an indirect form of taxation. A government devalues its currency to pay off debts or fund projects, and it does so with stupid levels of inefficiency. Governments have little to no incentive to haggle and negotiate favorable prices, so most everything ends up costing them much more, and everyone ends up paying for it indirectly through inflation.
Great video as always, I think people always want what they can’t have so it kinda explains your fascination with American culture as an European. Also I’m looking forward to seeing what your next video especially what you’re going to say about my ethnic group Black Americans who descend from AmericanChattelSlavery. We’re an unique group of people, not entirely European but not wholly African. We are a mixed race of people; that is a mixed with various African ethnic groups and European people primarily from the British Isles. We speak English, practice Protestant Christianity, and have a value system that descends from the British Isles.
If you’re really interested in learning about black America, gotta read Thomas sowell
@@aspen1606he isn’t the purveyor of truth. He makes many mistakes himself, so no he doesn’t need to listen to Sowell even if some of what he says is legit
@@makeytgreatagain6256 nobody is the purveyor of truth, i just think thomas sowell is really good.
Almost all slavery was chattel (meaning property) slavery. Why people put emphasis on this term is beyond me. Slavery means you are owned by another human and slaves throughout history, regardless of civilization were treated with violence and abuse. This was the case for Africans previous to being sold to Europeans and then sent to the Americas. Slavery was big business in Africa and the vast majority of slaves stayed there and or went across the continent in the much more brutal and long lived. Trans Saharan Slave Trade. Also, millions of Europeans were slaves in the Americas as well, also chattel but usually for term, 5-7 years, though some longer, like many children and many of course died before being freed.
@@aspen1606 I’m somewhat familiar with his work, I don’t entirely agree with all his assertions. I do believe that a lot of Black American culture stems from the British and that their is a massive overlap between Black American culture and Southern White American culture.
America is a newly colonial nation. This probably greatly affects its cultural, political, demographical arc
Definitely.
As an American I always find it very fascinating to get the perspective on the US from other countries. We don’t normally get to interact with people from other countries very often. Sometimes I worry that the US is hated by most people internationally, we definitely have our problems but it still makes me sad.
I was curious about this myself and decided to travel across East Europe and West Asia. Note: I don't think I've met a European or Asian who hates American people. Most just see people as people.
I'd say the hate or disdain is more around how the US government handles itself internationally. Many see the US government as a user and abuser of nations from a far, taking unfair advantage of its island. If you speak with an Asian, you'll see a push towards BRICS and a desire for the US to either get out of their back yards or take a seat (by force if required, BRICS military spend is approaching US's now). I think this channel mostly shows how East Europeans feel about Americans, though places like Hungary are shifting their tone for a few reasons.
Again, though, haven't seen deep hate to Americans compared to their government. Because western media is so wide spread, some even feel bad because of how the media portrays the US going down hill socially. School shootings, street violence, etc. is what puts them by surprise.
@@somjrgebn BRICS is not at all anything approaching a unified entity, let alone one with a military. India and China are vicious rivals funding each other's downfall and they're both in BRICS. And Asia is very split between distrusting the US and distrusting China; the latter has been making very expansionist move in the SCS, for example.
@@stephenjenkins7971
Hmm, is this coming from typical western media propaganda or from some specific events? So far, the following events have convinced me otherwise, regardless of what western media and government tell their people:
- Iran signs peace treaty with Saudi Arabia. If you happen to know Muslims, they'll tell you how rare for historically fighting ideological camps to sign a peace treaty like this.
- Against US rejections, Syria rejoins the Arab league for economic aid by Saudi Arabia.
- Brazil request Iranian warships be docked at their Rio ports.
- Zimbabwe delegates (Zimbabwe, the leading voice of South Africa) are detained on a plane in Poland for nearly a day under NATO command. They respond by attending the St. Petersburgh forum (along with 100+ nations), despite threats of Western sanctions.
- US requests India to join NATO+ to contain China. India's quick response with an unambiguous no.
- France invites China to display their latest J20 stealth fighter jet at their Paris air show. China accepts.
- Hungary decides to not join NATO's sanctions on Russia and refuses military aid to Ukraine. Decides to instead remain neutral and suggests peace talks.
- Austria and Slovakia break away from NATO's sanctions and also end military aid, also suggesting peace talks.
- Despite US's dominant military presence in South East Asia, Lowery Institute and ISEAS in Singapore publish findings on China's new dominant political influence over the US.
- Saudi Arabia goes public with their nuclear program, requesting any nation to join in on making their own investments.
- US dollar as a reserve currency drops from 73% (in 2001) to 58% (2023), with sell offs projected to continue.
Aside from my personal experience being in East Europe and West Asia, it looks like the world is becoming more regional based. With military spending rising globally and a declining sentiment around US expanding so far from its own land (like US asking India to join NATO+), the world is shifting to a multi-polar, regional-based order. The international order where rules are told to other countries from a far by the US is coming to an end, and the world generally wants that it seems.
Note: Tried sharing links for info on these events, but YT doesn't let me sadly. Each can be researched online, though, you just have to be mindful of the source.
I think the best way to describe the non-American Western countries is as cultural colonies of the 1940s American progressive left - that is, the FDR social and political elite. All previous rightwing traditions were replaced relatively quickly with Americanized economic liberalism that only served to tie those countries further to America when their policies were implemented, and all native leftwing traditions were either syncretized to or forcibly sterilized by the incoming ideological tradition. By the 1990s, the last bearers of pre-American rightwing (Enoch Powell) and leftwing (Gough Whitlam) ideologies in all those countries were relegated to carping malcontents in the cultural scene, and their successors were all Americanized to greater or lesser degrees. In continental Europe, this is even more starkly apparent, with only tiny slivers of the old European rightwing surviving in the form of the Nouvelle Droit and Neue Richte, which have for the longest time been no more than despised dissident movements that most normal people in Europe find distasteful or actively hate. Only now that the postwar American-imposed system is facing a major legitimacy crisis caused by mass immigration and aging, are these ideologies finally crawling out of their holes and enjoying any success, and even then the majority of the population views them as so foreign that they are willing to use extraordinary means, including unabashed psychotic violence, to silence them.
The result everywhere was a stagnant intellectual monoculture which lacked the single biggest ingredient that made America dynamic: a strong native rightwing ideology to fight with, and a demographic base of fast-breeding and religious but dumb peasants who could act as its soldiers. If you look at Australia, Canada or New Zealand, there simply is no strong equivalent to the evangelical Christians or to Red State Americans in general, and certainly nothing that has half the population on its side like it does in America.
And why didn't the rightwing half of America establish any cultural colonies? Simple. Because they had no control over intellectual institutions that might disseminate rightwing ideas outside the unique cultural context of American peasantry. Of course, the American armies that conquered Europe were mostly composed of these rightwing peasants, but their role was simply to kill and die for their nation, not to reeducate the conquered populace.
I agree partially. But without the help of European and Asian Armies, (Russia, China, Great Britain and France) the US would not have achieved its position. If Europe and Japan are destroyed by left wing illusions originally imposed by american administrators, the US will loose their position in the "old world". But as Anglo Saxons always did, they will try to divide the powers of the old world by supporting always the second strongest. I see a mistake in American politics, to fight against Russia, because in the long run, China and the islamic world are more dangerous. The first because of its technological power, the second because of its refusal of left wing values and as a result a healthy demograhic development.
What a great start of a day...
Alex Jones' "I'm a pioneer!" rant is genuinely a good way to understand the inner machinations of about 25% of American males
😂😂😂 for those of us on the populist right yes
Maybe his ancestors. I’m not sure anyone in today’s American cosmopolitan society should identify that way, he is from Texas tho lol
Hopefully, the USA gets a higher fertility rate in the future like 3 children per American woman. And hopefully the other Anglosphere countries, Japan, the EU and South Korea can also have 2 children per woman and higher too in the future...
It's easier than you think. Just push religion into the mainstream society and promote closed-off religious groups like the Amish. The fertility rate of an average American who attends Church weekly or more was 2.1 in 2020, which is comparable to countries such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal etc. The reason why America still has a higher fertility rate compared to other Western countries is mostly because of religiosity and overall economic stability. But I don't think it's going in that direction, in fact, it's going in the opposite direction. Nevertheless, religious Americans will continue to have more kids.
Also the Repeal of Roe vs Wade will help tremendously.
I hope not, as lower working population means higher wages. High populations only benefit the elite
@@jostnamane3951 yet religion is declining fast in USA. And we're all better off for it
@@mikexstad1121religion is declining in America mostly because of high apostasy rates among lukewarm or non-practising Christians. Ultra-religious conser-vative groups generally have a high retention rate thus promising a healthy growing population even in times of massive political changes. Have a look at the Dutch Bible belt, some parts of the Dutch Bible belt have fertility rates twice as high as the country's average and a thriving community even when the majority of Dutch people have become non-religious
Interesting point about family structure. Never thought about nuclear family in this way. I think I formulated a conclusion: Stay primitive and in the times of changes you will have a chance to succeed.
The nuclear family is not primitive and this assessment is simply weird and historically inaccurate.
@@thomassenbartI agree, while going through this video I found the comparison between primitive and American family structures as strange. Although the second half of the video towards the end made an interesting point about America's cultural diffusion and its better handling of it.

A suggestion for a future video
How do you think falling birthrates in in Europe would contribute to future politics? Do you think europe will be essentially forced to take in massive amounts of migrants from muslim countries and african countires to offset? Or would they go a full handmaidens tale route? If the former, how would you predict reactions to massive amounts of foreigners coming to many nation states in Europe?
I wish this social topic was covered more which I feel like doesent get much attention from intellectuals. We saw many countries in europe such as Germany and Sweden that took many migrants from syria back in 2015 but since then the populist right has gained ground in both of these countries where even the talk of new refugees in Sweden is not common with the Swedish democrats winning elections. I would love to see more perspectives from centrists or liberals on how they plan on solving the issue of falling birthrates and population collapse without having to import foreigners who will have a very hard time integrating and assimylating into european values while also giving more ground to the right wing and appeal to xenophobia. Both of these are at odds with eachother.
western Europe is a goner. With little to no religion as a bulwark against the coming tide of an opposing religion and the phobic fear of being labeled as a r acist and low birthrate.
I dont think birthrates will affect the word as predicted in most studies, just like 50 years ago people thought that today will be overpopulated. Obviously there will be a crisis if not tackled but eventually things will have go back up, either naturally or via governement action, like dotrines and changing attitude towards reproduction or something. I cant see worst case scenarios like the Handmaid's tale becoming a necessity except if everyone just ingores the issue until its too late, a more likely scenario would be something like a minimum 2 child policy like china did to combat overpopulation or simply the banning of contraception.
We're just going through a low phase so except if we panic or ignore the issue we'll still live.
cant see mass migration being allowed in the old world either,if you just look at how europe responded when the refugee crisis happenned, which was really unsignificant in number really, ad the panic that it produced.
The EU will grow more and more anti immigration as a result of Africa’s worsening food/energy/security situation. The right will continue to be anti-migration, and the left will clamp down on migration in an effort to maintain power.

@@Nik29austria Most people of European descent in South American are of South European origin, mostly Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

@@ElTigre12024 I still don’t consider those ginger potato monkeys as white to be fair
I do not see a difference between the family model of the Anglo-Saxons and the rest of Western Europeans, especially in the north. The social differences between the Anglo-Saxons, especially Americans, and the rest of Europe are not due to the family, but rather to social adaptation to the environment
Compared to Europe, America has always been a free country with a larger area, more natural resources, and a smaller population. It was a unified state and there were few wars so it's natural that the standard of living in it is better, which gives the possibility of more freedom for the individual, more consumerism and higher birth rate
Well they were also unique in that they left Europe and most had a gripe with the contemporary European power structures at the time of the migration to the USA. You don't think that maybe there was some underlying genetic difference that drove their exodus from Europe?
The birthrate is from the immigrants, which we consume on levels that would be usually catastrophic for European/well-established populations and cultures. We are a borg culture, because we have to be, otherwise we would not be able to facilitate the constant importation and consumption of human capital to feed the ever-demanding increases in living standards and GDP line go up. 3rd generation Americans, without exception, are overwhelmingly far under replacement levels, and it's just getting worse, the only people having babies are the immigrants, who we quickly turn into functionally-sterile Americans within 3 generations.
@@RA9U1That’s not correct if you look at the statistics on birthrate by national origin. Especially more recently, as birthrates have fallen substantially in most origin countries of immigrants.

What if the Amish became sizable enough to represent mainstream American culture? I mean hypothetically it will most probably happen in the future assuming the birth rates remained stable.
They keep doubling in size every 19/20 years by the end of the century its projected to be 6 million and in 2200 atleast 100 million amish. Also they have the highest birth rate out of any nation or ethnic group,7+ for most communties but the old order scwhwartzentruber 10+, Higher than nigers,somalias or chad. With those countries listed they have high infant mortality rate, the amish have low infant mortality rate and their lifestyles of farmwork and carpentry needs they need the most free labour that God can provide as they say. They are among the fastest growing populations in the world. We just have to wait and see
There is something simmiliar happening in Israel, but on larger scale. Hope he will cover this.

@@Nik29austria well that’s a straight up incorrect statement. White is recessive. So when you mix with white it makes your kid more white. It takes literally only two generations for a fully black person to mix with white to turn their kids fully white. For example, Patrick Mahomes dad is fully black. Mahomes is mixed, and Mahomes kids are white. This is not a one off thing but a consistent outcome. This is why there are some “pan African” ppl who are black that are strictly against interracial dating so they can perserve their blackness. I think that’s extremely weird and kind of naziish. But I’m not the one getting my blackness washed away. Bc I’m white. Overall interracial dating isn’t going to get less popular so it’s kind of inevitable.

As an American I know the common sentiment towards Europe is that Europe is backwards, barbaric and uncivilized compared to America but I generally find that as an unfair judgment. Although Europeans may be stuck in it's traditional values compared to freedom obsessed Americans, the way of life is barely compatible. Everyone having a car and the most advanced cell phones vs public transportation and carpooling or biking locally. Sure Americans might be technology obsessed more similar to Japan than Europe it doesn't mean Europe doesn't look to the future too. Sure American healthcare might be superior to European healthcare but that's because American healthcare comes at a premium versus being provided by the government. Europe is not obsessed with overconsumption like America is. If an American goes to a restaurant in Germany they might think the meals are small and overpriced but that has to do with the fact that farming laws in Europe are different than America and geographically there's an abundance of meat and vegetables that all have GMO's given the more vitamins and nutrients then an organic meal from Europe so Surprise Surprise America has an obesity problem. Going on the free speech attitude America has had that freedom for 200+ years but Europe depending on the country will value stability over the ability to say insults. An American can say a racial or religious slur but legally nothing can really be done other than social isolation for that person. In Europe that person might actually be fined because of hate speech laws and disturbance of the peace law's which aren't as common in the United States. Then when you add second amendment rights people will go to a shooting range on a weekly basis compared to Europeans who may have never shot a gun with the exception of Switzerland probably. Also with a lot of American liberal values the structure of honor is different for example family respect is earned not given as it is with the monarchies in Europe many Americans will find it cute and hilarious. But with those individual freedoms and the lack of family values comes at a cost which leads to a high divorce rate and Americans being estranged from their families. In Europe you can stay with your family until 30 in America you're out at 18 unless you go to college but as economics change in America with automation and job standards going up that's becoming less the case. In Europe you can depend on the love of your family and your local Town culture in America you might see your neighbors at a barbecue or something like that but your not really going to rely on them for anything. Also because we're such a cultural and genetic melting pot the personality traits differ from person-to-person way more drastically compared to a European village whose moral foundations and baseline personalities are more or less the same which leads to a lot less conflict in a local communities but in America every house has different house rules sometimes people go to sleep at different times, dress codes are different, allowing foul language or not, gender roles in that household and the role of children are different. In a way each house could be like a different country in the way it's run which is arguably why Americans have such a political divide compared to Europe. In Europe most local towns agree with each other so there's not much conflict. But in America a local school board meeting could look like the start of a civil war. That being said there's a general idea of acceptance of you live the way you want to live and I live the way I want to live. But Europe is more based around conformity and unification so if somebody strays from the local behavior they will get ostracized from the community or be the talk of the Town. But in America everyone that will copy that different person until there's a large group of people that act that way look at goth kids or skater Bros for example. America is so obsessed with being different that they almost wind up the same as everybody else ironically. I would say it's individualism at a fault, but politically it's cool to see the free-market ideas at work. Americans are very creative and outside-the-box thinkers and if something isn't working correctly they will look to all parts of the world in order to improve their system and put it up for debate. Although America may look very dysfunctional somehow it figures itself out with all the craziness and with that craziness innovation can be created. America has some mix of every culture that left their home culture because they hated it for some reason or another. An American may go to Europe and understand why their ancestors left and in a way saying that truly makes you an American.
My experience being a American is every American saying how terrible the USA is and how Europe is 100% perfect and can fo no wrong and we are terrible for being born here, terrible for being black white Hispanic whatever. Terrible for being left or right, gay or striaght, etc.

As always, thank you for all the comments, both the praise and the constructive criticism! I will try to respond to them in the following days.
I need to correct myself for a mistake I said in the video, which viewer @staeins informed me about. From 11:25, I speak about how there is a contradiction in our perception of different family systems, where the one perceived as the most modern is actually the most anachronistic, from the anthropological perspective, and the one perceived as the most primitive, the clan structure used in the Muslim world, is the most sophisticated since it has developed the longest in the area where the agriculture has been practiced the longest.
The mistake I made lies in the fact that the family system sedentary agricultural societies used was the patrilineal stem family system, in which primogeniture is used, and the oldest son with his family lives with the father and inherits the belongings which help to preserve the wealth within the family. The nomadic Arabic, Turkic, and other conquerors imposed the clan structure with high levels of cousin marriage on the agricultural middle-east populations.
The nuclear family allegedly often used by the pre-agricultural societies, was misplaced by the Stem, or authoritative, patrilineal family system, and the clan structure brought by the nomads stood outside of this development and was then imposed by the nomadic conquerors. I again checked the book I used as a source; its information agrees with what @staeins writes in his comment. Thus, the notion that the family structure often perceived as the most primitive is actually the most sophisticated is, at least partially, not correct and I stand corrected. I had to mix it up in my head when writing. I apologize for the mistake and I thank @staeins for pointing it out.
Edit: The part where I say the incorrect statement could, fortunately, be relatively smoothly edited out, which I did.

The homicide rate mentioned briefly around the 10:00 mark was a massive oversimplification. Look at homicide rates by state (or better yet, county), and it's a completely different picture. New Hampshire, where I live, has a rate of 1.4 homicides/year per 100,000 people, which would be unremarkable in Europe. Many southern or heavily-urbanized states have rates 5-10x higher.
Your explanation of the fascination europeans have with America is spot on. Very well said, this is exactly how it is.
America is the strongest country in the world and the biggest empire there ever was (here I refer to the cultural and political influence they have, not their territory) and this is because they kept something primal about them. They combine the best of the primal and civilized side of humans to become a strong country. Sure, we europeans live in general better lives, americans live more stressfully, but that good life spoils us and makes us weak. And things that are weak eventually break. I personally blame the wars of the 20th century, all our strong and primal men died in these wars, we were bled out of our strength and we did it to ourselves. Hopefully something will make us wake up again ... cough cough Russia...
How do Americans live more stressfully?
@@alastairthegreat2887 Depends on the area, I guess. Example I live in a area were many don't have running water and still use coal and wood burning stoves for heat and food hell there is a entire town I like to call shack city because most of the houses there are made out of plywood. Where if you get in a scuffle and the cops are called they can be there at times thirty or up to two hours, hell, the cops literally don't usually patrol outside of towns once you leave city limits its you I've had a cop literally tell me that when a dog hamstringed my younger brother nothing happened since it happened outside the city it was up to use to figure it out. I am speaking of course of the dreaded place known as the largest reservation in the U.S a dreadful place where rez dogs wild dogs basically scuffle about and are used as target practice, and people drink and die in winter from exposer.

That is an outdated view of America, people in Europe still tend to think of America as it was up through the 90's, that America has been eroded away, and even it was a mockery of what came before we got involved in the two disastrous world wars.
Americas future is all downhill at this point, the demographics, incompetence leading every major institution, and a military that is being held together by tape and glue, we are still living on the fumes of our past reputation somehow despite bungling every war we've been involved in post World War 2 and even that was not the victory that people remember it as.

Absolutely underrated channel. You manage to tackle the subject while remaining relatively objetcive and mostly not going astray into wierd political rants like some channels fall into. A great european alternative to Whatifalthist and his exceedingly dumb statements and views
Love your channel, crazy you started just this year and produce bangers from the start.
I hope your channels doesnt turn into another one of those political podcast because no one wants to hear your opinion, stick to what you're doing while upping your production quality and eventually you'll be on par with Kraut and others great channels.

America is an enigma for many Europeans since most Americans are European derived but have some significant differences in values and ideals. I agree that America is a complex land and is a vast one with a plethora of cultures which makes it very difficult to categorize. But I disagree with the French anthropologist about American social structure which is nuclear but an archaic feature.
Rather, it is the opposite. It is a very modern family structure which began in England with modernization developing in the 1500's and 1600's. It is true that American mobility intensified nuclear family patterns as well as the desire for economic success. But an archaic social structure. No! Tribalism and extended family clan systems are examples of traditional life before the agricultural revolution.
American religiosity has always been a puzzle for Europeans. This was most famously expressed by the French writer De' Tocqueville from his travels in the early 1800's. He interpreted it as connected to freedom of choice. The end of state churches and now having the ability to make ones own decisions in life developed a passion for religion in the early American society. Certainly, American religion can explain the present higher fertility rates among European derived Americans. Also,Latin American immigrants have a higher fertility rate.
So, thanks for the thought provoking video but the America story is hard to encapsulate in a short presentation.
Thank you for your insight! But I have to disagree with your conclusion regarding the nuclear family.

This is an essay (not too long to read) that is a very nice distillation of why is Todd likely right on this matter and his opponents likely wrong (that is not absolute of course, new findings might be found and change the scientific consensus).
@@kaiserbauch9092 Have you read any of De'Toqueville? He is considered to be one of the best commentaries on American life. He came to study in the 1800's the innovations in American penal systems and then traveled throughout the country.
There is an important literature on the history of family structure and the history of childhood, which is mainly by British historians, that discusses the development of the nuclear family in England. That is why I stated that it first occurred in the 1500's there and then spread to its colonies.
Of course, England was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution which profoundly effected family structure and intensified the nuclear family orientation. So, I conclude that it is a feature of modernization and not an archaic social system.
For those who wonder about the guy mentioned extensively in this video and whose name is never spelled out, it's Emmanuel Todd.
11:56 what if the reason ameircans continuously out compete europe despite not looking like it is again that “uncivilized” character. The majority of civilizations throughout history have usually gotten out competed by various steppe people who conquer the society despite being outnumbered. What if anglo-American culture has created a tribal identity allowing Americans to basically become the closest thing to steppe people for an industrial world that favors centralized states. An outer state structure but one that allowed Americans to act on a primitive nomadic level. Tribal peoples also tended to be richer and have a higher standard of living even at the time of the Roman’s with the Germanic kingdoms seeing massive rise in standards of living.
Maybe america evolves as sort of future industrial steppe-like people in a world after actual native frontiers are gone.
Or America hasn't gone through the cycles yet that other civilizations do. The closest thing to a fall/decline of American civilization is the civil war. America will probably break up in the next century or two, until someone puts it back together again.
That’s exactly how we conquered everything beyond the Mississippi River. Basically flooded the place with opportunists having many kids.
The reason we are stagnating is because of liberalism more or less CRUSHING our ability to have kids AND to seek opportunities pragmatically
in the future, the siberian nomads (Chukchi) will rule the world
I'll see you out there on the North American Steppe with a raider band of square-body GMC technicals after the bombs drop. Maybe we'll be on the great expansive steppe of space, blasting each other with cancer weapons and other deviously horrific inventions...?
No
America's problem is not quantity but quality, 😔, with immigration and the increase in number of non white Americans due to more reproduction, the character of the US will change innevitably and will take on a more global south character, if the number of European and North East Asian continues to decrease the global north character of the US will be lost, that is their major problem.
True but europe is crashing kinda with this Russia ukraine war. Maybe we can limit immigration to English speaking euros (of any race) and hope it increases the quality of our county. Plenty of nice black british people or nice white Swedes who speak perfect English and are skilled. Unlike all the 3rd worlders we have who flood over our border and pop out anchor babies today
America is about 75% european in terms of people and 7% northeast asian and the gene pool is some 80% european. The US census is genuinely very moronic and classifies european people as brown if they're spanish, or had any ancestors in latin america. Europe is way more likely to see major demographic changes at this point. American white population is also deliberetly undercounted.
yeah , i dont understand this peter zeihan pro American talking point yeah America population is growing but it European descendent populace is actually declining both in pure number and even more so in % , America will grow but will it be the same America if it become a mainly latino country by 2100 , China can also do the same and import hundreds of millions of african to grow but will it still be China if it did that
How tf does having NE Asian people make a country more "European"? This just sounds like some cowardly way to make some 14/88 talking points but being a snake about it. I am in no way some open borders sp*c but this whole fetishization of East Asians by the 14/88 crew annoys me; especially when those said 14/88s only do it because they're incapable of getting a white waifu and so resort to an Asian waifu.

Decentralization form of government and liberal capitalism is one of the best things about America
Very good video, however, something for you to reevaluate for your next video is your statement regarding America’s future demographic makeup, and the idea that it would lead it to drift away from Europe, atleast in part.
Some factors to consider:
1. Hispanics are, by and large, White/European, they are of majority European heritage, and intermarriage with White Americans is occurring at such a massive scale that Hispanic identity fades within a few generations, and even now most Hispanics identify as White in the US on the census.
2. Republican Hispanics, who are becoming ever increasingly popular and numerous, in part due to higher birth rate, and in part due to Hispanics trending as hard to the Right as they are. I am unsure of how much you look at American politics, however, Hispanics have been voting more and more Republican quite consistently for several years, projections indicate that Hispanics will be majority Republican voters within 5-10 years. This is significant due to the very interesting factor of Right wing Hispanic Americans being far *more* in support of protecting White European Heritage then even White Americans, an article from the Manhattan institute called, “Hispanic Americans Are No Longer ‘Minority Voters’” goes over this.
3. Asian and Black Americans are virtually entirely assimilated into White American culture, somewhat due to intermarriage, and somewhat due to the underlying values those who migrated to America held on part of the Asians, while for Blacks the culture they hold currently is a White American culture, Thomas Sowell goes over this extremely detailed in his book, “Black Rednecks, White Liberals”.
I hope this comment made it through and it serves you well! Keep working on your incredible content, I’m excited to see more.
1. Hispanics are not white, they are nonwhite mongrels. the end.
2. It's not possible for nonwhites to ever "assimilate" into White culture because they don't share our genetics/DNA/biospirit.
3. Nonwhites tribalize against whites whenever possible to advance their own interests at the expense of the host white population and think of their laws/regulations/values as toilet paper. It's not in their genetic makeup to understand this.
4. You're living in a fantasy land
I will try to elaborate more on it in the next part! And thank you!

@@kaiserbauch9092 For Czechs its important not to be Pro-American or Pro-Russian, but to be Pro-Greek, Cyril and Methodios came to baptize the Czech and Slovak nation and gave you guys the written Slavic language so that Czechs could be autonomous and free and instead you let the Germans walk all over you for more than 1,000 years. Perhaps today Czechia can revive Orthodoxy☦️ in their country and discard this irrational atheism that dominates Czech culture today. As is written in the Holy King David's Psalm #14 in the Bible: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

The high murder rate in the US is largely a demographic issue. 13% commit 51%… something like that.
I've seen people say that but from what I've seen in actual data by the FBI. Its pretty common amongst all groups.
@@brandonf1260 There is a definite correlation between race and crime. 100% no doubt.
white Americans are 29% of the population but make up 90% of all suicides
You can look at crime by race but that doesn’t show causation. You could also say that most crime is concentrated in cities or committed by poor people. How can you know that race is the primary factor in crime compared to living in a city or poverty? What you have to do is control for those variables with a multi variate analysis. What is the disparity in crime rate between races after controlling for these variables? This is the more productive question to ask.
For example, if it turns out that a lack of education is the main driver of crime, then efforts should be placed on the educational system rather than on race politics. The history of segregation and red lining in America has meant that schools with predominantly black students have been underfunded. That is because public schools in America are funded by property taxes, but due to red lining, property owned by black Americans has been explicitly devalued. Red lining was made illegal sometime in the late 60s, but nonetheless it has a lasting effect. If black schools are under funded leading to worse education outcomes, and poor educational outcomes are a cause of crime, then is it really fair to say that the race of an individual is causing a higher crime rate? Until you consider all these nuances, you should refrain from holding onto a simplistic worldview where one variable dictates your stance on an issue as complex as crime.
@@fudgefactor1639 You said a whole load of nothing. Mostly assumptions based on anecdotal information. The fact is poverty and violent crime actually do not go hand in hand. There is a famous Columbia study showing that nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of New York City's Asian population was impoverished, yet they commit crime at very low rates. Nonetheless, I have never indicated that race alone is causation, rather, all I’m saying is that there is a definite correlation. Read carefully instead of being triggered. (Nice job liking your own comment, talk about insecurities)
As a naturalized American, I can say this much: you couldn't pay me enough to live anywhere else. It's not just about the standard of living, it's about the individualism. There's an expectation of being left the fuck alone here, up to and including the ownership of semiautomatic rifles. To me, that's beautiful!
Good for you!
You left me grinning. Welcome to America and very glad to have you!

I know how you feel. I am a Canadian but while on one hand I am kind of resentful towards the US (since their existence means we can never become a great country), I also recognise that they do things a lot better, especially after listening to many Americans online. What I always find kind of sad and paradoxical is how many of the things that I don't like as a conservative about America such as its libertarianism, feminism and very democractic system is probably also what is keeping it from becoming too liberal. It certinaly is a unique place
Even without the US existence Canada still wouldn’t be a great nation. You guys are still sucking up the British crown instead of forging your own identity. That and you have more land than people and most of it isn’t arable

@@jordijimenez2634Because it is easier to blame someone else instead of taking on a more libertarian outlook of personal responsibility.
Very interesting dive into my own nation via an outsider's point of view. Though I do disagree with point made at the 10:35 mark. Maybe it is because I live near DC, and know a lot of people who were or currently employed in the federal government, but the US is certainly not lacking in "centralized authority". Quite the opposite, though that's just my point of view.
Otherwise, great video, can't wait for part 2!
Normally I hold my tongue when Euros make silly comments about the USA disguised as profound observations.. It's not worth the trouble . However I like you and your channel . There is a brain somewhere behind that voice, and the quality of your content is pretty high . I just think your take on Kyle Rittenhouse come from a total ignorance of the facts of the case . It isn't at all indicative of some disturbing yet fascinating tendency of Americans to take the law into their own hands . It IS however an excellent example of the anarcho -tyranny into which the globalists are pushing the free societies of the west . The police department of Kenosha Wisconsin had set up a perimeter around the edge of the city AFTER the antifa rioters had already arrived , shutting up the residents and merchants of downtown Kenosha IN WITH THE RIOTERS . The governor of Wisconsin did not see the need to send in the state police or the national guard ( at least until a third of the businesses downtown had been burned to the ground and one elderly African American gentlemen had been beaten to death by thugs who were setting his house on fire ). For hours the mob was free to reenact their own little Krystal Nacht on the citizens of Kenosha . The " law " did NOTHING . The rioters were in fact the pampered shock troops of the globalist establishment . None of them were arrested . not the ones who burned down an entire used car lot cars and all , not the ones who murdered an old man , not the ones who randomly assaulted and beat local residents who had the misfortune to be on the street that night . Kyle Rittenhouse was however arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as though he were an enemy of the state . ( In a very real sense he was)
Now this is going to seem a bit strange to your eastern European sensibilities but we have a doctrine in America that regards the bargain between the individual citizen and the state as being two sided . The citizen renounces his right to public personal violence in exchange for the assurances from the state that it will keep public order . A citizens who kills someone in an act of private personal revenge no matter how serious the wrong perpetrated against him by his victim has violated his end of the social contract and must be brought to trial by the state. A state that selectively enforces the law or doesn't enforce it at all is also in violation .
I would understand that citizen of Kenosha would defend their propriety. But its hard to understand a teenager who doesnt need to be involved to take a gun and play a policeman.
In Europe and expecially Eastern and Central Europe is common culture of "minding of your own business". What is not concern of yours you will not get involved into.
@@TheIgdrasil1So if your father's side of the family lives in a city it is none of your business what goes on in that city because you live a few miles away?
@@alastairthegreat2887 Kyle went with a military gun from Illinois to Wisconsin. To actively go with AR15 into violent riot is crazy. Thats like I would go into a brawl in a medieval inn and did not expect that I would get punch in my face. Riot is a crazy mess and I would avoid such a event and not go there even if you would pay me.
Rittenhouse did not have a propriety in that city. He had nothing to protect. He lived in different city, county and state.
I understand that he is not guilty, but to venerate him as right wingers do is another example of craziness of USA. He is but very stupid person and not a hero.
Fair enough. I now kind of regret that I used the Kyle Rittenhouse example in connection with the word vigilante, since it made people angry and I agree that he does not really fit the term very well and he was defending himself. I will address this in the next part of the video. But on the other hand, if what you are saying is true and the law did nothing, is it not the perfect example of the imperfect monopoly on legitimate violence by the state? Since one would just expect that police won't let rioters or protesters demolish private or public property and the fact that armed citizens have to do it instead is very strange in itself. Why did the law do nothing?
And I did not mean it at all as a demeaning "euro" comment about the US. I am also very annoyed by such comments, since they often come from a place of jealousy and envy. But the fact that USA are really the only wealthy developed country in the world where such things happen is just a descriptive truism. I am not judging it, but you won't see anything similar in Europe, developed East Asia, Singapore, Australia, rich Arab gulf states, nowhere. So I thought it was a good example of American uniqueness.
@@TheIgdrasil1 We too have a culture of mind your own business . My fellow Americans who have spent time in Europe are constantly coming home with funny stories of the almost unbelievably intrusive busybody culture that exists there , particularly in Germany . So we must be looking at two different versions of Europe.
Kyle Rittenhouse had both family and friendship ties to Kenosha . Friends of his father's side of the family owned property downtown and in fact kept the gun that he used that night until he could legally register it in his own name in the state where he lived . ( Illinois ) Wisconsin is much more lenient than Illinois is in allowing teenagers to legally own firearms. The town where Rittenhouse lived with his mother is less than 16 km. from Kenosha .
Kyle spent the entire evening helping family and friends guard their property and socializing with their neighbors . As the night wore on , he ventured into the streets along with a number of other people ON BOTH SIDES to administer first aid to the injured , some of whom needed stabilizing care . Street surveillance cameras as well as hundreds of smart phone phone videos show him moving in and out of the crowds with his rifle on his shoulder not exactly mowing people down. The shooting does not begin until Rittenhouse is PHYSICALLY threatened with harm.
very interesting and good video. i just subscribed yesterday and now you made a new video
Thank you!
America has become so diverse that we honestly see eachother as being from different nations sometime. It's hard to believe a state as dystopian as California resides within the same country as a state as care-free as Florida. I think the is partly why some politicians such as the former Speaker of the House call for a National Divorce. As much as I hate Pelosi, I do believe she is smart enough to know that the diversity and ever-growing differences between the States could be this countries downfall. And it would coincide with Lincoln's theory that the US will never fail because of a foreign invader, but because of ourselves.
Question is, could we as a country become so diverse that the idea of our States being United under one country be thrown out the window? We're already seeing some people (myself included) openly exclaim that they're more proud to be from the State they live in than proud to be an American, so it's not impossible that could become a reality nationwide. Do you guys think it's possible we could decentralize too much? And what are the consequences of doing so?
Whenever I ask an American where they come from, they always answer with their state name never with the country
“State as carefree as Florida” lol…
If the parallels hold, the presidential position will become akin to emperor. You need Caesar first though.

It´s so great to see literally anybody who takes the time to learn about America´s makeup, not even Americans ever do this lol. I love these demographic deep dives, keep them coming!
One thing I will say about the Sun Belt becoming the next American center though, at least for the Eastern half (Texas onward) the governments are historically extremely conservative, and the local governments absolutely refuse to invest in any sort of infrastructure needed to sustain a population of any size. That's why Mississippi and Alabama are poor as dirt and nobody lives in the Gulf regions of these states, and they are notoriously unappealing to live in due to their terrible institutions and services. The civilized parts of the country see the South as a complete shithole.
Unless some drastic changes occur I doubt that the South/Sun Belt can ever be a truly important part of America, there will at least need to be a reckoning with their overwhelming conservatism and the tendency towards authoritarianism and suppression by their establishment. It has held them back so terribly.
Thank you for your praise and your insight!

A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling preserving tribal preferences in Native American adoptions is expected to preserve the demographic existence of various tribal identities in the U.S. Me, an American without any family connection to any tribe, am proud to know that the nation continues to respect the tribal nations independence.
Can’t really say it respects their independence, there are many treaties that the government has broken and continues to break. Some just recently they’ve been forced by the courts to observe, such as 2019’s McGirt vs. Oklahoma, which mandated that half of Oklahoma be rightfully recognized as native land (the practical effect being that the tribal courts, not the state government, have authority over natives living in that area)

27:11 "I cannot imagine such sects living in contemporary Europe for many reasons"
You don't have to imagine bc they live here, great examples are Leastadians in Finland (tfr around 4 or 5) and Orthodox Calvinists in Netherlands that live in Dutch bible belt (much higher fertility than county's average but I couldn't find exact numbers). Both of these groups exists in western nations in contemporary EU and are doing relatively well (there is more information about leastadians and they are demographically thriving)
I am aware of both of them, and I actually made a whole video about it: ruclips.net/video/mnIo2zQOYPw/видео.html&ab_channel=KaiserBauch
With the Dutch bible belt, the fertility is significantly higher than average, but neither the fertility or the level of seclusion and pre-modernness is not comparable to Amish. They are more similar to conservative evangelicals in the US, IMO.
As for the Laestadiands, their fertility was likely very high during the 20th century, but there are no data on the retention rates (how many young people growing up in the communities stay there and keep practicing in adulthood) or the precise fertility. But I agree that if some examples in contemporary Europe are coming close, it's these two. The sparsely populated Finland might offer certain characteristics similar to the USA in geographic regard.
