That may not seem diverse from a modern American perspective, but if one takes into account European history, it's in fact extremely diverse. And in a sense, it's actually more diverse than the modern US on the basis of language and religion.

You are dodging our main point.

Actually, I addressed it in an earlier post. Although perhaps you may not have understood it as such. Here's that post again:

On another note, when I think about modern America, multiculturalism, and the ongoing ethno-religious unrest, I think back to some of the great multicultural civilizations of the past. There were many of them throughout history, from ancient Rome to Austria-Hungary.

Of course it can be difficult to hold such civilizations together, and sometimes it would be impossible to do so without resorting to state violence. Abraham Lincoln knew that well. But then again it is uncertain that the American people at large would tolerate the emergence of another Lincoln, for one reason or another.

So far we've elaborated on the first paragraph in the above post, but not the second paragraph. So, what's your take on the second paragraph?

I think smaller is better. Ethno-states are the future. I just hope I end up in an ethno-state of my own kind; otherwise, I won't survive.

"Smaller is better." That is something many Americans can get behind. As in, "small government is better than big government" and "the federal government should cede some powers to the states as required by the Constitution." But too bad many state governments have proven to be just as idiotic as the federal government, given their responses to the pandemic. Ugh.

"Ethno states are the future." That's probably true in other countries, but I pray that it won't be for America. I was born an American, and I wish to die an American. And I will continue to support the causes of the Founders even after the end, should it come during my lifetime.

Here's an interesting event that we all missed.

Between April 28 and May 1, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan fought a border conflict that left at least 52 dead, hundreds injured, and over tens of thousands displaced.

My more specific predictions would be:
There will be a major global financial panic and crisis. Supply chains will break, resulting in unavailability of critical raw materials and components. Global trade will begin to shut down. As it begins to become apparent that the supply chain linkages are permanently broken, the global interlinked financial markets will shut down and cease to exist. This will all happen very quickly. It will not take years from the initial panic.
The focus of governments will turn to controlling their panicked and hungry populations. Due to lack of availability of imported goods and adequate storage "sufficient to reconstitute" a system consistent with nation state government, this will prove to be too little too late and most government will devolve to the local level as populations lose faith in their national governments and the national governments lose the resources and ability to control their populations.
There will be no large scale nuclear war. Instead, the population will be culled through starvation, local strife (including settling of long-standing scores) and disease. Wave after wave of pandemics will sweep the world.
Similar to national economies and governments, centralized utilities will fail or become so decrepit as to be unsafe and unusable. All centralized utilities including the power grid will shut down permanently.
The initial worldwide kill rate during the first couple decades following the financial panic will exceed 90%. The global population will be in the range of a few tens of millions when the bottom is hit in two or three centuries. Similar to the last dark age, the world's largest cities will have a population on the order of 25,000 and a large town will be 1,000.
Life during the coming dark age will be similar to the last dark age but worse due to environmental damage and pollution.

This pretty much sums up what I have been expecting, with the exception of nuclear war, which I fully expect.

With California cancelling advanced math courses and bringing barbarism and pagan worship of Aztec gods back into the classroom (human sacrifice will be optional---for now), it is best to have the world implode. I just hope the liberals don't die too quickly. I want them to suffer for as long as possible. FOR. AS. LONG. AS. POSSIBLE.

The most ironic thing of all is how it is christianity that elevated the dignity of women as children of God, until it came about this never was even thinkable. Similar to the human sacrifice by barbarians and the demons that possessed them for years, this was ended by christian "colonization".

Remember, guest, the devil always throws these people under the bus. Always. Get ready for Gates and Schwab to realize this much sooner than later.

Thanks, John. I must've over looked that.

** 18-May-2021 World View: Palestinians unify in general strike on 'Day of Rage'

• Anti-Israel demonstration during general strike in
  Ramallah on Tuesday (AP)

On-site reporters for the BBC and al-Jazeera are reporting that the
levels of anger and nationalism opposing Israeli security forces in
the West Bank are much higher than in the 2014 war.


Of special significance is that, for the first time, there is
unity among all the Palestinian groups -- not only the ones living
in Gaza and the West Bank, but also joined by the Arabs living
in Israel.

The Palestinians declared Tuesday to be a "Day of Rage." A
general strike in the West Bank left business districts deserted
in multiple cities.

There were large anti-Israeli demonstration in cities around the
world. Large Palestinian crowds in Lebanon and Jordan tried to cross
the border into the West Bank, and had to be stopped by the security
forces in those two countries.

The war with Gaza has been continuing without pause.
The Palestinians are attacking southern Israel with mortars,
and large cities like Tel Aviv with rockets supplied by Iran.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday promised that tonight's
missile strikes by Israel into Gaza will be larger than ever, and
will particularly target new geographical areas.

In Gaza, thousands of people are being forced from their homes by
Israeli airstrikes. The deaths particularly of children are being
heavily criticized by the international press. International pressure
is growing to force Israel to accept a ceasefire on Hamas's terms.
However, Netanyahu will not have to agree to that, as long as
he has the support of Joe Biden.

In the Congress, the Mideast war is causing a serious split
among the Democrats, with leftist Democrats, led by AOC,
demanding that Biden withdraw all support and funding from
Israel.

If you see a demonstration outside America, where English, is a second or third language, and see signs written in English, then you know it is staged for American media. Something an analysis from another governmental agency told me. Good write up.

I have always appreciated John's posts. They are excellent and insightful; however, I recommend visitors also visit the Financial Forum and read posts by Aeden, Higginbothom, Cool Breeze, Vince, etc. It is really interesting. I tilt more towards a New Dark Age, but I find mosts of the posts insightful and Aeden links to interesting articles and videos.

Yes, we are in the midst of a breakdown crisis for sure.
