"In the UK, taxes like Income Tax and National Insurance (NI) fund public services, including the National Health Service (NHS), which draws the majority of its budget from general taxes, with about 18% of an average citizen's income tax portion going to health, though specific percentages vary, with recent data showing healthcare as around 20% of total UK government spending. The UK's overall tax-to-GDP ratio was 35.3% in 2023, slightly above the OECD average. "

Western European nations also  save huge money on Defense by relying on the US to protect them from the Russians.
Americans aren't afraid of Russia but we think it is hilarious how terrified of them the Western European pansies are.
They should worry more about the millions of unemployed, inbred Third World rapists they are willfully importing than what Putin or Trump are doing.
Russians are stand-up compared to the sickening hypocrisy of the trash in Berlin, London and Paris.

The fallacy of our times is that "diversity" (as that term is commonly used) is somehow beneficial to human populations.  There are uncontacted or minimally contacted tribes in the Amazon region. And we have all heard the story of the Sentinelese Islanders that kill any outsiders that trespass. We would all agree that to abduct such people, dress them in Western clothes, teach them to speak a hacked-up version of English, give them a shove and expect them to succeed in our societies would be criminal in its absurdity.  You can't take paleolithic tribes, force them, in squarepeg/round hole fashion, to adjust to industrialized societies...it is a universal failure.... US slavery, the plight of the American Indians, the devastation caused by importing millions of unemployable Third World beggars to Europe...the leadership just hope things will work themselves out. But when you look at the conditions and effects of bringing African slaves to North America - a couple hundred years later...we know things don't always just work themselves out.  It seems as if the goal of the globalists is to have one muddied mixed  race of 'non-binary' humans all living under one centrally controlled, global communist government. It's so misguided and unworkable it's  like something out of a comic book.

I have heard it said that one of the reasons we get folks who think like you do and politicians like trump is that societal changes that used to take 100 years or more now happens in just a few years or less. The world is moving too fast for some to keep up and it profoundly unsettles many folks.

Toss in that 100 years used to be near 3 adult generations and now we tend to live longer.

Theres zero crime where I live. There’s no rioting, there’s no stealing, robbery or rape. There’s no bullet proof glass at the bank, no bars on the windows, no razor wire and we can pump our gas before we pay. The town cop works 9 to 5 if you need him. It has always been like this for people like me and it always will be. 100 years ago, my grandparents were in Europe doing the same thing.
….but you know….diversity and all that.

There is crime here, and 9/10ths of it committed by folks who look like you.  The other 10th is usually committed by some out of towner from your neck of the woods.

The patterns of behavior from place to place, continent to continent, climate to climate, language to language are remarkably similar.  I've spent my whole life reading about this and watching it directly  in real-time.  It's the hominid version of ecological succession...or like 'old field succession'. Detroit, South Africa, Rhodesia....it's almost comical to see the progression from this Mesolithic lifestyle - then forced into a highly developed or Westernized society - and post colonially, they revert back to their stone-age existence but with distorted defects - mutations caused by their exposure to industrialization that only serve to mechanize their tribal instincts and base impulses. It's abhorent. It's obscene. The conditions in places like urban America absolutely mirror the same in Europe or Africa - they become absolutely Third World in breakneck speed.

When I was a child, we left our front door wide open with just the screen - in Detroit. It was the fifth largest city in the country, one of the most prosperous in the world. That's what drew my hard-working, intelligent and ambitious progenitors to come here from across the ocean. This was during my lifetime. The stores in shops in Detroit had windows...not bars and barb wire. Now it is what it is. That is an absolutely univarsal trend and it is, as I said, identical to ecological succession.

Leftists deny the obvious truth and demand that clear evidence of sub-speciation be ignored for the sake of their political agenda in the same fashion that they demand we believe that ugly, sexually deranged men can magically become women if we all believe. They don't even believe their own bullshit.

This is not a value judgement. It is a anthro-bio-socio- evolutionary reality and it is the fault of Europeans, Asians and Arabs that we are dealing with the fallout of their forced migrations into and out of these absolutely stone aged cultures.

They are stone age, they have the right to be stone aged and there's nothing wrong with that unless your force integration with developed societies and expect them to succeed...as is the case with this promotion of open borders and mass exodus into Western countries. It's purely a disaster for all parties involved.  They should have been allowed to remain stone aged or to have remained under the boot of their imperial masters. Either scenario would be preferable to the mutations that have been caused.

Perhaps that is the pennance for slavery.

Sounds like you lack diversity down there.

Although I don't believe in God as such, I consider myself a Christian - almost devoutly.  On the matter of God, creation, afterlife - surely the only truly corrct answer is "We don't know". But as for subscribing to a philosophy, code of conduct, ideology etc. goes - Jesus is particularly charitable, just and worthy of emulation. At any rate, it is and has been the bedrock of Western Civilization and it has motivated and inspired the greatest achievements of humanity.  And it is OUR religion; the religion of the Americas, of Europe and elsewhere.
The enemies of Christianity are the enemies of America.

2026 Post-Apartheid South Africa:


"Muti killings (also known as muti murders or ritual murders involving body parts for traditional medicine) remain a persistent and disturbing issue primarily in South Africa, though similar practices occur in other parts of southern and central Africa. These crimes often target vulnerable groups like children, women, and people with albinism, driven by beliefs that body parts (especially from live victims) confer power, wealth, protection, or success.Prevention efforts have been fragmented and largely ineffective in fully eradicating the problem, as cases continue to be reported into 2025–2026."

"Attacks on people with albinism (often referred to as ritual or superstitious violence) involve abductions, mutilations, killings, and grave desecrations, primarily in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Perpetrators target individuals with albinism believing their body parts (bones, hair, limbs, skin) possess magical properties that can bring wealth, success, political power, or protection when used in rituals or "muti"/witchcraft preparations. These attacks are driven by deep-rooted myths, poverty, and a black-market trade where body parts can fetch high prices."

"The belief that raping a baby (or a virgin, often interpreted as very young children due to presumed virginity) can cure HIV/AIDS is known as the virgin cleansing myth (or virgin cure myth). This is a dangerous, widespread superstition that emerged prominently in the late 1990s and early 2000s in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, particularly South Africa, amid the severe HIV/AIDS epidemic."

2012: Saudi man Muree bin Ali bin Issa al-Asiri was beheaded in Najran province after being found with "mystical books and talismans" and admitting related offenses.

2011: Sudanese national Abdul Hamid Bin Hussain Bin Moustafa al-Fakki was executed in Medina after allegedly offering a spell for payment (via an undercover religious police sting).   Amnesty condemned it as "appalling."

2011: A Saudi woman, Amina bint Abdul Halim bin Salem Nasser, was beheaded in al-Jawf province for "practising witchcraft and sorcery." Authorities claimed she possessed books, talismans, and potions used for spells (e.g., charging people for supposed cures). Amnesty called it "deeply shocking" and noted it as the second such case that year.


Witch hunts in Tanzania refer to vigilante violence, mob killings, and extrajudicial murders where individuals—predominantly elderly women—are accused of practicing witchcraft and subsequently attacked or killed. These incidents stem from deep-rooted superstitions in rural communities, particularly around Lake Victoria regions (e.g., Mwanza, Shinyanga, Kagera, Tabora, Geita), where misfortune like illness, death, crop failure, or poverty is blamed on "witches." Accusations often target vulnerable groups: older women (frequently widows with red eyes from smoke exposure during cooking, seen as a sign)

Wikipedia (updated 2025) cites an estimated 20,000 deaths over the past 20 years (roughly 2005–2025), mostly elderly women.




....But they'll be fine in Ohio and Minnesota...You'll see !
