Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
I’m 56. Maybe I’m misreading the moment, but I’ve never experienced America as a “once you get here, you’re safe forever” culture. America isn’t home base. It’s not olly olly oxen free. It’s not crossing the plate and the game stops. It’s more like making it onto the field. …

Many countries teach a 6-continent model where “America” is one continent (North+South). The U.S./Anglosphere teach 7 continents, so “America” often means the USA and “the Americas” means the whole landmass (North+South).

I hope everyone knows that when the Media explicitly says “there’s no evidence” everyone’s like “there’s so much evidence” now. Where’s the trust?

Polonium & epibatidine oh my!

Most countries are ethnically majoritarian—Japan ~98% Japanese, Poland overwhelmingly Polish, South Korea overwhelmingly Korean. The U.S. in 2026 is ~59% non-Hispanic White, ~19% Hispanic, ~13% Black, ~6% Asian, ~10% multiracial. It’s a large civic nation without a single ethnic identity.

I agree: the USA is basically empty. We don’t even have two or three billion population cities at all! America is perfectly bucolic. Where are our Hypercities and Megatropolises? Shame! nymag.com/intellige…

I mean this has been the argument for my entire 55 9/10 life: poor rural ancient people don’t have ID.
Roughly 70–90% of the world’s voting jurisdictions require some form of ID to vote. A widely cited dataset found about 176 countries or jurisdictions with ID requirements as of 2021. With ~195 sovereign countries globally, that works out to around 90% requiring identification—though strict photo ID laws are a smaller subset of that total.
I guess this is the end of the road in terms of that. We live in a very modern world and most of the world requires ID in order to vote.
