Thatâs a sharp observation, and worth expanding. The truth is, in the West, all immigrants eventually become âwhiteâânot in phenotype, but in assimilation, in aesthetic, in aspiration. Continue reading Everyone Western Becomes White Eventually

US Economics and Theory of Collapse
A Theory of Collapse (After a US Economic Synopsis)
Note: Italicized comments are from another Brown Pundits contributor

I donât think youâve looked closely enough at the economic fundamentals. Off the top of my head:
- National Debt: $30+ trillion
- Interest on Debt: $1 trillion

The roles arenât assigned by policy, but by a deeper algorithmâone that sorts people into place based on centuries of sedimented power: race, class, culture, even aesthetics.
