Friendship and freedom have their root in the same concept in the Celto-Germanic mind as evidenced by etymological analysis.

“The sense evolution from "to love" to "free" is perhaps from the terms "beloved" or "friend" being applied to the free members of one's clan (as opposed to slaves; compare Latin liberi, meaning both "free persons" and "children of a family"). For the older sense in Germanic, compare Gothic frijon "to love;" Old English freod "affection, friendship, peace," friga "love," friðu "peace;" Old Norse friðr "peace, personal security; love, friendship," German Friede "peace;" Old English freo "wife;" Old Norse Frigg, name of the wife of Odin, literally "beloved" or "loving;" Middle Low German vrien "to take to wife," Dutch vrijen, German freien 'to woo.'”

75% of French people now believe that dual citizens should have their French citizenship revoked. No question about mass deportation but I bet it would have majority support.

Very interesting new preprint study from Finland suggests that maternal obesity is associated with low testosterone at age 31. Men whose mothers were overweight while they were pregnant are significantly more likely to have low testosterone.

Watch as these drones use multispectral color grading to determine the ripeness + sugar content of apples, then gently pick them.

🇭🇺 Orban gets in on the act—says Hungary needs to bring in 300K-500K ‘guest workers’ within the year. Hungary has already imported 70K workers from places like Colombia and Mongolia.

Every single leader in Europe is either maniacally malicious (like William Hague), a traitor, controlled opposition, or a little bit of all of the above.

The myth of mixed race "genetic superiority":

The common myth that miscegenation automatically leads to "hybrid vigor," with offspring somehow inheriting the "best genes" of both parents, is 100% false. There's no biological process that selects the "best genes" because genetic recombination is random, so it's impossible due to this fact alone.

Outbreeding/miscegenation causes the same problems as inbreeding. It creates novel gene combinations that are more likely to be harmful and reduce genetic fitness because they have not been "tested" by evolution - natural selection purges harmful mutations. This is also why we see massive dysgenics today in every modern, industrialized society. We effectively abolished natural selection, allowing harmful mutations to run amok. Inbreeding also allows rare/harmful genes to proliferate, resulting in autosomal recessive disorders. Again, these genes have not been filtered by natural selection.

The only time when hybrid vigor is (almost) guaranteed is procreation between two individuals from genetically distinct populations that are both highly inbred, as this reduces the probability of autosomal recessive disorders. The "vigor" gained is simply a return to a more normal level of genetic fitness. This is why the term hybrid vigor is near-exclusively used in agriculture, where highly inbred plant strains are extremely common due to selective breeding.

Humans instinctively select mates who are more genetically similar to themselves. Spouses are more genetically related than average members of the same ethnic group, we pick partners with similar facial features to our own, friends are as genetically related as 4th cousins, 3rd/4th cousin marriages are the most fertile, etc. The probability of autosomal recessive disorders is practically zero for 3rd cousin procreation, 5% for first cousin procreation, and 30% for sibling procreation.

Whites are the least inbred race on the planet, so miscegenation is never beneficial for us. Even if a White person or population was highly inbred, mixing with non-inbred Whites would solve the problem, while outbreeding with other races could make things even worse.

If you want kids who are less healthy in basically every way, then procreate with someone of another race.

The heritability of social status in England from 1600 to 2022:

"A lineage of 422,374 English people (1600 to 2022) contains correlations in social outcomes among relatives as distant as 4th cousins. These correlations show striking patterns."

"The first is the strong persistence of social status across family trees. Correlations decline by a factor of only 0.79 across each generation. Even fourth cousins, with a common ancestor only five generations earlier, show significant status correlations."

"The second remarkable feature is that the decline in correlation with genetic distance in the lineage is unchanged from 1600 to 2022. Vast social changes in England between 1600 and 2022 would have been expected to increase social mobility. Yet people in 2022 remain correlated in outcomes with their lineage relatives in exactly the same way as in preindustrial England."

"The third surprising feature is that the correlations parallel those of a simple model of additive genetic determination of status, with a genetic correlation in marriage of 0.57."
