  1. The issue is culture, the issue is religion. Secularism reaches far beyond those who call themselves atheists, look at how many attend church, look how devout they are, that decline is why it's dropping. The Amish don't have that issue, but they don't have industry either.

  2. I've always felt it weird that Scandinavian nationalists look to the vikings as a model. The vikings were a bunch of parasitic raiders that folded once confronted with real opposition, practicing slavery and human sacrifice. In contrast, during the great northern war Sweden was a genuine superpower and Finland fought the entirety of the soviet union to a standstill.

  3. Whatever trump is, he isn't a fascist. Fascism is a dead ideology, basically none of them exist nowadays.

  4. Something to note, the federal employees have been very overt in saying that they will not cooperate with trump and will try to impede him, certainly they did the same last time. DOGE may be a cost saving measure, it's definitely a political purge. Of people who definitely wanted to impede trump. Beyond that, I do not know.
