Your statement about the warlord-run nations isn't completely accurate; it's not just corruption and ideology, it's that you cannot have any government other than a tyrannical one in countries with an average IQ below 95, according to the book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen. Of course it's "highly controversial" which just means that it says some things that shouldn't be said because of their obvious implications.

Which brings us to the worst part of the current "cultural enrichment" of Western nations; that importing high numbers of people from low-IQ populations will lower the average IQ to below 95, meaning that our representative governments will collapse, unless something is done about it. Yes, I realize that a fair portion of IQ is gotten from early childhood nutrition and that being raised in the West will mean better nutrition and the possibility for regression to the mean, but that won't happen quickly enough to save the electorate.

I believe we may need to severely restrict the franchise, especially given that enlarging the franchise has always had the counterintuitive effect of concentrating more power at the top. Heinlein's "full citizenship with military service" is an interesting model, but there's NO WAY that I want the recent immigrants inducted into the military, because of their complete lack of loyalty to America or its values.

Tough situation all around.

We could use a few of those Africaaners here in Gallatin County, Montana as well, and they'd find a lot of fellows of Dutch descent on the farms and ranches around Bozeman. We even have towns named Amsterdam and Manhattan. They'd help counterbalance the idiocy of the Democratic Socialists trying so hard to turn the county even bluer than it already is.
