World Domination

[Phillip V]

The United States has not reached its full potential yet. If it becomes less white and increases its birth/immigration rate (while the rest of the world gets Americanized / speaks English), the U.S. can become better positioned to achieve world domination.

Man, i'm, on Neil with this one. Becoming less White is the most foolhardy roadmap for success I've yet heard.

It's easier to control and assimilate foreign brown people when you have American brown people.

Not at all.  In fact, it becomes much, much more difficult.

A big part of the reason Imperialism was so successful is brown people bought into the idea that white people were different, superior, godlike. This is a tough sell for someone who looks just like you do.

When God stopped all the burning bushes and pillars of fire and said "Hey! I'll look just like a typical JEW" they nailed his ass to a cross real quick. Same concept, only without divinity.

That was a big reason why imperialism was so successful in the past. Now, similar looks and understanding of subjugated culture/language is needed. Otherwise, Iraq and Afghanistan should be bending over for us right now.

Poor examples. They aren't blowing people up because they're white. If you look at Africa though, those villagers are in awe of Sally Struthers.

Africans are in awe of Sally Stuthers because she is fat and they want to eat her.

Not at all.  They're just stronger than you.  They're willing to fight for years.

There is both hard power and soft power. For example, if we decided to indoctrinate Afghan children, making them literate and Americanized, it is just not possible because we lack the human capital.

Also it's hard to get Basic Cable in a mud hut.

Afghanistan would be better if we let (and encouraged) American soldiers to intermarry with the Afghan women.

You'd have few takers I think.  Besides, why the hell would we want to rule other countries?  Almost every country in the world trades with us and nearly everyone abides by the world system the US put into place.  I'm happy with that.  The great up and coming power, China, isn't interested in overturning the system, but to rise with in it.

The problem with that is that they'd be bringing their wives back to the US rather than settling in Afganistan.  After all, the US will be out of Afghanistan soon enough, and then everybody who collaborated is going to get killed.

[Jaron]

That and Afghan women are ugly.

[Neil]

That and Afghan women are ugly.

Afghan men do seem to like chopping off noses and ears.

Afghanistan women can make fine wives; I have a few sources.
