There’s going to be a lot of whining and gnashing of teeth when Mamdani becomes mayor, and a similar anti system democrat like him becomes President in 28.

Vance was a shoe in for becoming a two term GOP President, until Trump decided to sell out and piss all over his base.

Voters are sick and tired of the status quo, and many of the voters who went for Trump because he was an outsider, will be just as happy to go for a charismatic Dem outsider candidate.

I think it's just as likely the people seething that Trump didn't live up to the ubermensch superbased Trumplord in their mind are going to be disappointed when the voters think he was "good enough" and vote Vance in.
 
Huh? Sounds like they’re doing better than any other European country lol
Significantly worse, actually. About 57% of Russians identify as Orthodox today, with church attendance rates around 12% to 15%, depending on the study. These are likely lower today, as in 2024 only 1% of Russians attended Christmas Mass.

For Western Europe, church attendance is between 18% and 22%. As far as "identifying" as a member of a faith, Russia edges out most Western European nations, but the share of Western Europeans which actually practice the Christian faith is higher.

The "Russia is le Orthodox based trad Christian" meme needs to die. Kuril is a faggot and the ROC is a disgrace, little different from the """Catholic Church""" in China.

LOL! As someone who’s in Western Europe right now, I guarantee you those stats are bullshit.

Maaaaybe if you include everyone who goes to church on Christmas once a year or for someone’s baptism, you’d get around 15%.

But regular church attendance? lol no. I don’t know anyone of any age who goes to church. And shit, that includes people who specifically went to a Catholic/christian school as kids.

If Russian regular church attendance is 15% that’s at least double of Western Europe.

Shit, here’s Denmark with 2.4% going to church every week.

Do you all think that robotics as a field will come to a screeching halt now that so many Indians will be coming over on visas with no passion for innovation to fill the roles of truly powerful new engineers?
There is always a demand for the automisation of production processes. What will most likely happen is that large companies will become outdated/stagnant and that smaller/whiter companies will fill certain niches in the industry. Many robotics companies got started (in Europe) due to a group of interns finding a niche in the market.
Also, anybody with experience is very racist when it comes to buying machines from certain companies. You see this in industry conventions where people will avoid non-white companies. You would only choose non-whites if you only care about the initial costs.
tl;dr Big companies will become stagnant and white start-ups will fill certain niches.

I mean, it's heavily dependant on the nation. In Italy, roughly 19% of the population attends church weekly. The numbers from Russia are self reported and represent those that attend church "at least once a month." Spain and Portugal are in the low to mid 20%s, France and the UK around 10%, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and Belgium are all extremely low, Ireland is high, around 36%. These are all "weekly" attendance rates and reported by the churches themselves, not self reports of attendance. I just don't think many people in Western Europe talk about their religion and based on the fact that you're likely younger and a degenerate on Kiwi Farms, there's a much higher chance you just don't hang out with religious people.
 
Peter Thiel is doing his part.

Probably not.

And since Trump didn’t touch the Eurocrats Digital Service Act, it’s likely only a matter of crime before Null gets extradited to Brussels for wrongthink.
theres no way in hell the US extradites one of their own citizens to europe for haet speej lmao
 
By affiliation. Actual church attendance is in the high single to low double digits, depending on the survey.
There are some claims that recently around 80% of 18-24 year olds in Russia are identifying with Orthodoxy, but like what was already discussed, it may be rallying instead around an element of Russian identity, especially due to the Ukraine war and Western ostracism.

Arguably ironically Orthodoxy’s most fertile territory may be in the west, especially the Americas where there is a desire for an authentic masculine faith that other forms of Christianity have shirked in recent years (the ROC is gay, most mainline Protestant denominations are ultra-gay/heretical, evangelical churches sell prosperity theology, etc.).

As I mentioned awhile ago, Christian sects with some form of monasticism may also be inherently more resilient, as the faith can regrow from those nodes of deep faith after persecution. One can hardly imagine the future of the Anglican church as the last major generation of believers fade away.

On a tangent- an interesting comment that the Anglican belief had already largely hollowed out as early as the 1850s.

Sure, but i highly doubt America will go for a Muslim Commie.One that says violence is a "construct" and calls for private property to be abolished.

Also his "charisma" is only effective to White new yorkers that already want to kill themselves.Anyone else, especially in more blue collar slanted states, would correctly assess he is a Jihadist Indian that want to open the borders and despises the United States.

Monasteries are where surplus population goes to hide and die; they can't survive without feeder communities. The Church has been all but dead in Asia Minor and North Africa for a long time now. For their part, Jews have been very successful at ridding Israel of Christians as well. It is unlikely to recover in Iraq after the USA assisted Islamic militants in purging them, too. What we've seen with Islam is that when society's central organizing ideology has systematic repression of Christianity at its root, which the Roman Empire did not, Christianity only barely survives.
