Libertarian billionaires lobbied for infinite third-world immigration to “reduce social solidarity” on purpose, because they believed the resulting ethnic hatred would stop people from voting for wealth redistribution, so now NYC has a communist mayor.

Good policies matter most. A diverse population reduces social solidarity, which is good for economic growth because people don't want wealth-destroying policies to help out people who look different.

On the other hand, I've seen it argued that The South as a cultural region is growing in the 21st Century to include more of non-urban America than that, say, Garrison Keillor would have recognized as Southern 40 years ago. I don't travel enough to have an opinion on that.

[Polling two weeks before the election]

New York mayor 2025:
— Men: Mamdani +5
— Women: Mamdani +15

— Native-born: Cuomo +9
— Foreign-born: Mamdani +38

— Jews: Cuomo +33

— Steve Sailer: Cuomo +100 (n=1) (inferred)
 

__________

[Exit Poll Q.] How long have you lived in NYC?

Less than 5 years (7% of voters)
-- 85% Mamdani

5-10 years (8% of voters)
-- 79% Mamdani

More than 10 years but not native (37% of voters)
-- 54% Mamdani

Born in NYC (45% of voters)
-- 38% Mamdani

[3% of voters, No response]
___________

If only those who'd lived in New York at least ten years (including those born in New York) had voted, Cuomo would probably have narrowly won. The exit poll's numbers have it at 46-46-8 for just the 10-year-or-more resident set. In such a close-heat, maybe even more Sliwa voters would've gone to Cuomo.

Of course, if only Whites resident at least ten years had voted, it'd have been no contest and the non-American Sleek Smiley Muslim Candidate would've lost decisively.

___________

Jews, according to the exit poll, went 63% for Cuomo against 33% for Mamdani.
___________

A surprising (?) finding of the exit poll is that both Black males and Hispanic males went for Mamdani at a higher rate than the women of their same race. This is against the usual trend of females being more "Left"-voting. But the trend flips to the usual-expected pattern with Whites:

% voting for Mamdani
-- White males: 43%
-- White females: 48% [+5]

-- Black males: 60%
-- Black females: 52% [-8]

-- Latino males: 52%
-- Latin females: 48% [-4]

Still, these are not large gaps and may not even be real given sampling errors.
___________

The biggest gap, besides length-of-residence and ties to the USA (previously mentioned), is: Age.

White and Black support for Mamdani falls off a cliff above age 40 or 45. There is something like a 35-point gap between under-30s and over-45s.

On the numbers, it wouldn't quite have been enough to defeat Mamdani if the voting-age were pegged to merely 25 rather than 18. But in practice it might have been enough as a good portion of the momentum would have disappeared.

A stricter naturalization policy, needless to say, would've also kept Mamdani out. (Read that two ways if you wish.)

It was during their embarrassing technical difficulties that soaked up the first 20 minutes. Paul Kersey and "Dan Lyman, of Border Hawk News" were filling time while Peter Brimelow was off trying to track down John Derbyshire.

Paul Kersey said it was "fascinating" to find that John Derbyshire had made a plea for severe immigration restriction in March 2003, and that JD had predicted immigration-restrictionism was on the political horizon for later in the 2000s (too early by 10 years). (You can read here an that 2003 column in question, 1400 words.)

Here is the part where Paul Kersey praises Sailer, transcribed to text:

[10:45]

PAUL KERSEY: You'd think the reaction to [September 11th, 2001] would've been: "Well, we should have a serious conversation about political correctness at the airports."

We know one of the people doing security at the Logan Airport noticed these Arab guys and [said], "You know, I'm not sure we should let them board. But is it worse to question them boarding?"

I think Steve Sailer has pulled that quote out a number of times, to point out that, "Well, you know, it could have all been avoided if we had racially profiled!"

At the same time, you'd have thought that Muslim immigration would've been put into question. And yet, here we are. You've seen the chart, Dan, of the enormous increase in Muslims in the United States. [...]

The US is going to have to sanction Ireland over this one. The way I see it, it is entirely legal under international law (as established in Charlotte v. Trump) for a black person to stab to death a Ukrainian refugee. However, Ireland clearly acted in a racist and discriminatory manner in allowing a White gentile person to cook bacon within the olfactory range of a muslim. 200% tariffs on potatoes and overrated stouts with peat in the bottom of the bottle.

On a side note, if Putin wanted to avoid international opprobrium, he should start employing Somali mercenaries. They could stab as many Ukrainians as they want, and he could get credit for introducing diversity to a clearly racist country. Just as long as he doesn't try to evade sanctions by exporting vodka made with Irish potatoes.

According to the influential, now-mainstream Jewish intellectual-scribbler Curtis Yarvin (f.k.a. Mencius Moldbug"), the Reformation was a very bad event. It helped to undermine monarchy. And there was Luther's committed, principled anti-Semitism...

According to Yarvin, Protestantism set the stage for all the world's problems, for which the Jews are 100% (no, 110%!) innocent. The Jews were tricked into all by the perfidious, nefarious Protestants, you see; Protestants being a group that secretly controls the world, controls the media, and undermines nations all over the place (per Yarvin).

It was troubling to many when Steve Sailer occasionally flirted with embracing this 'Moldbuggian' anti-Protestant view of world history.

One funny thing about the Yarvin/Moldbug School of blaming White-Protestants "for everything wrong with America" is that there'd be no America at all without White-Protestants. The ethnocultural core around whose traditions, attitudes, and norms all US institutions arose!

Yarvin's anti-Protestant crusade was a strange little project, in which he endeavored to cast White-Protestants as some radical-subversive outside group in their own society, the society they created, maintained, and demographically were the core-majority of for centuries. Rabbi Yarvin laid on the "pilpul" thick and heavy.

Yeah, I've been noticing that too. One of the odd details, for instance, is that Machado promised—as soon as Venezuela is delivered to her—to move Venezuela's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That's kind of an odd thing to commit to when you're just a stateless refugee somewhere. She's effectively announcing that she expects a large Israeli participation in the Reconquista of Venezuela.

Why Israel should care who runs Venezuela is less clear. Obviously, with large amounts of oil and other natural resources, large amounts of money will change hands in the medium-term future, but that's true in many places and Israel has plenty of other fish to fry. Maybe it's less about Israel per se than that wealthy US oligarchs want in on a New Venezuelan Order and because they are also Zionist Jews, embassy deference is a cheap form of remuneration for Machado to offer.

I think the strong upsurge in interest in the Holocaust decades later was due to the oversized Jewish influence in society - particularly in media - and to stress the fact of the Nazi genocide of European Jews which never really sunk into the man on the street's head - even to this day. It seems obvious to me that many vaguely go around thinking Jews were sent to live in camps and that conditions were such that large numbers just happened to die. Comparatively few Jews were sent to live in camps and most were simply killed. We nowadays have a better handle than in the '70s of the logistics and more exacting details about those matters, although persons like Raul Hilberg who specifically looked into these things had an ok understanding all along. The average person didn't then and, frankly, still doesn't now. Interest in the Holocaust has faded since and will continue to. But the correct understanding will be imparted in schools - not everyone's vague notions from back then.

Technically, that Deaths Head was not a "Nazi" symbol; it was used by the Deaths Head Hussars of the German army of the Second Reich (and before them by the Prussian army). The SS adopted it to look badass or something (the same reason Platner gave for choosing it). So it wasn't a "Nazi" symbol in the same way that the swastika or the double-lightning-bolt were not "Nazi" symbols - they both also predated the NSDAP and the Third Reich.

Platner is probably lying. I'd bet he knew where he had seen that symbol before, and it wasn't on the busby of a 19th century light cavalry trooper, it was on the cap of some snarling SS officer in some WWII movie he had seen. And that's the vibe he was going for. Did he not know what a skull and crossed-bones means?

Just my opinion based on observation. Russia is asking for Ukraine to cede a large amount of territory including territory that Russia has been unable to seize. And for a guarantee that the remaining portion of Ukraine not be hostile towards Russia. This amounts to unconditional surrender.

It's nice that Steve's so complimentary about Pinker's IQ and such, but Pinker is really just an example of Orwell's dictum that "there are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”

Pinker's warning that discussing race and IQ "might embolden racists, make it easy to overlook systemic racism, shake the confidence of individual African Americans, and further divide the country along racial lines" is not a reasoned evaluation of reality, it's merely a recitation of the Leftist Credo to let everyone know he is one of the 'good guys'.

As Steve and AnotherDad have shown item by item, Pinker is wrong about everything that matters. And worse, he's wrong about it in a clever-sounding way that further entrenches destructive policy.

Pinker has always been a clever doofus.

Putting aside for the moment whether the Fed actually is independent (if you believe that, I have swampland for sale in Arizona you might want to buy), I think in the not too distant future the Fed may not be able to control whether there is high inflation. As the federal debt grows increasingly out of control, and no one in authority exercises any fiscal restraint, the monetization process will lead to high inflation (the debt is growing exponentially); or, if the Fed refuses to accommodate the fiscal authorities, there will be failed bond auctions. Ultimately, the dollar will tend towards its intrinsic value, i.e., zero, just like all the other fiat currencies.

I think what we are observing over the last few years is a quiet movement by central banks to hedge against a dollar collapse by building gold reserves. The US and its European allies may be in for a rude awakening in the not too distant future.

Here I fundamentally disagree with IQ orthodoxy. Simply- I disbelieve in /g/ & I don't think that high accomplishment of a particular group is reducible to some genetic configuration. In this case, I also disagree with the statement that Jews, as a group, are somehow morally defective (even if you use a more delicate characterization).

What is beyond doubt is that ethnic Jews are in many fields over-represented in the past 150-200 years in the (broadly defined) Western world. No question about it.

But, historically- Greeks had laid the foundation for Western civilization, and the main traits going back to classical & Hellenistic Greeks, have become global.

How could we then explain the "Greek miracle" from, say, -700 to -100? Were they some superhuman genetic mutants, in comparison with all contemporary civilizations (Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, ..)?

Let's give a list from Murray:



• Artistic realism / Greece, circa –500
• Linear perspective / Italy, circa 1413
• Artistic abstraction / France, last half of 19C
• Polyphony / Central France, 11C–13C
• Drama / Greece, in the century following –534, and India, date unknown
• The novel / Europe from 1500, culminating in England, 1740–1749
• Meditation / India, culminating circa –200
• Logic / Athens, –4C
• Ethics / China, India, and Greece, –520 to –320
• Arabic numerals / India, no later than 8C
• The mathematical proof / Greece, circa –585
• The calibration of uncertainty / Europe, 1565–1657
• The secular observation of nature / Greece and China, circa –600
• The scientific method / Europe, 1589–1687

So, ancient Greeks did 6 out of 12 meta-inventions. There is no way one could ascribe this to some high IQ.

Hopefully it's just because you're too young, not an ignoramus, but you know squat about Reagan and the Cold War. Reagan thought of America as a beacon of freedom to the world. Though not close to what was built by the Founders, the America of the 1980s was still much freer than most can imagine anymore. It was a beacon, and that beacon helped guide Russia and Eastern Europe out of Communism, with a whole lot of help and luck.

That doesn't mean President Reagan favored going into the East Bloc with military force. NATO was formed for containment. Years before his time, America and NATO did not get involved in either the Hungarian attempted revolution 69 years back nor the Czechoslovakian "Prague Spring" 12 years later. Of course, one could retort, it's have started WWIII. (Now, see, the Russians can't do... well, yeah, nuclear weapons... so maybe we should back the hell off.) The hot conflicts during the whole period were proxy wars in countries that were there to for in neither camp or too close for comfort for one side or the other. The Russian invasion of Afghanistan and wars in Angola and other places in Africa could be considered the former, while Cuba, Salvador, Nicaragua, etc. are cases of the latter.

The Jewish nigger Lassalle who, I’m glad to say, is leaving at the end of this week, has happily lost another 5,000 talers in an ill-judged speculation. The chap would sooner throw money down the drain than lend it to a ‘friend’, even though his interest and capital were guaranteed. In this he bases himself on the view that he ought to live the life of a Jewish baron, or Jew created a baron (no doubt by the countess). Just imagine! ... It is now quite plain to me — as the shape of his head and the way his hair grows also testify — that he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or paternal grandmother interbred with a nigger). Now, this blend of Jewishness and Germanness, on the one hand, and basic negroid stock, on the other, must inevitably give rise to a peculiar product. The fellow’s importunity is also nigger-like.

The Weekly Mail claimed that although Levy does not pull the wool over the public’s eyes, he does give them a ‘Y’ in place of an ‘I’, and indeed, among the 22,000 Levis counted by Moses during the march through the wilderness, there was not a single Levi who spelled his name with a ‘Y’. Just as Edouard Simon absolutely insists on belonging to the Latin race, Levy positively insists on belonging to the Anglo-Saxon race. At least once a month, therefore, he attacks the un-British policies of Mr
Disraeli, for Disraeli, ‘the Asiatic mystery’, unlike the Daily Telegraph, does not originate from the Anglo-Saxon race. But what use is Levy attacking Mr D’Israeli and taking a ‘Y’ instead of an ‘I’ when mother nature has written his lineage in the middle of his face in the most extravagant black-letter script. The nose of Slavkenbergius’ mysterious stranger (see Tristram Shandy), [33] who fetched
himself the finest nose from the promontory of noses, was only the talk of Strasbourg for a week, while Levy’s nose is the talk of the City of London all year round.

I am just stating the obvious- Palestinians are not a real people. They themselves said it a long time ago. They, their representatives & other Arabs. There is absolutely no need for a Palestinian state- and Palestinians don't want some nation state, they want the entire British Palestine without Jews. Why insist on a two states solution when neither party wants it?

What does this mean? That they don't believe there was any mass killing of Jews? Or just that it wasn't six million?

I'll reiterate what I wrote long time ago, so just a c-p.

The picture of poor, suffering Palestinians is a joke.They are a mixture of various Arabs & not a people at all. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – but I don’t see why I would care about some Arabs being anywhere around Israel (Jordan, Egypt, occupied territories,…)- even 20% of them in Israel proper? Palestinian Arabs are Arabs. They are, genealogically, a mixed middle eastern type like Druzes & similar Levantines (and Jews). They do not possess historical continuity of memory that constitutes identity. Jews, on the other hand, are transplanted Levantines who have retained their identity from past ca. 3000 years (script, their scriptures, customs, law, food taboos, language, ethics, even clothing…). Palestinians do not write in Hebrew script; they don’t speak Hebrew or Aramaic; they don’t have emotional connection to Jerusalem in the same sense & intensity as Jews do; …. In other words- genealogy is of no importance, identity rooted in history is everything.

Zionism is a typical mid-to-late 19th C East European national movement among Jewish masses & nationally conscious Jewish intellectuals. Despite all their congresses, despite the Balfour Declaration- there would be no Israel now had not Hitler come to power. Jewish nationalists insisted on their aliyahs in the beginning of the 20th C, but it is evident that there would have been not enough Jews in what is now Israel, had not Hitler begun with his persecutions in 1933. So, technically, Hitler acted as the catalyst for swelling Jewish population in Palestine/Israel, both before WW2 & after (DPs). Now, there were enough Jews in the British mandate for a small Jewish state. No grand Zionist plan could have achieved that. Only Hitler. Arabs, naturally, resisted the influx of foreigners- for them, hated Westerners & completely alien. Instead of letting Jews have their statelet, smaller than Slovenia (which is the butt of jokes here in Croatia re. size) they attacked them with the intention of destroying them completely. And what should all those Jews do, let Arabs slaughter them? True, they came; true, it was their ancient homeland- unlike Arabs’; true, there would not have been enough demographic Jewish material, had Nazi persecutions not have happened.Those Jews did not settle in an empty land, but also, that land was not clearly defined & its population possessed only religious consciousness, which is backward. Most Jews simply bought land from Arabs. Arabs then went to wars. And they lost.

Israel is a great example of an almost unimaginably successful society & culture, from science, their national culture, to technology, innovation, agriculture… everything. If one looks at any Arab or Muslim country, on can find only backwardness, shithollery or corrupt tribal leaders, combined with hysterical aggressiveness, lunacy & stone age mentality (honor killings, their stupid women who are nothing but walking wombs, mass hysteria during their meetings, …). Even more impressive is the resurrection of Hebrew language, which has been just a written language of Jewish literature, and became, after more than 2000 years, modern vernacular – a situation unparalleled in history. And that, by now, ca. 7 million people have learned to use it from a scratch- this is virtually a miracle. The existence of Israel is astounding. Apart from the military & similar stuff, Israelis have succeeded in agriculture (where they have been absent for centuries), in modern technology in most areas (say- USB stick), in irrigation, in medical innovation). It isn’t for nothing they are dubbed start up nation. It is easy to compare their land, the quality of life there, how people work, learn, teach- with the way of life of surrounding peoples, from Egypt to Iran. Israel is a shining example of a modern powerful creative civilized society. All Arabs, including Palestinians, are basically- lunatic stone age hordes that should be dumped to their desert shitholes.

Some people talk about "Judeo-Nazis".

There is no equivalence between Nazi persecution of Jews & Israel fighting Arabs, especially Palestinians. Nazis have exterminated ca. 2/3 of European Jews, and would have murdered them all had they won the war. Israeli Jews- they accepted the UN plan of the partition of Palestine; they attacked Arabs in 1967 only because Arab exterminationist rhetoric & Nasser’s war plans have risen to the level of immediate aggression with the aim to completely obliterate Israelis from the face of the earth. Then, in Nazi Germany Jews had been persecuted, tagged, their life boycotted, … In Israel, Arabs are freer & live better than in most Arabs countries; In Germany, Jews were expelled from universities- in Israel, on the other hand, they give additional lectures to Israeli Arabs so they could enter prestigious Israeli universities, where they, Arabs, constitute ca. 20% of the student population (which is virtually the same as the general population). Could one imagine that Nazi Germany would promote Jewish students in Heidelberg or Goettingen? As regards occupied territories, Arabs have their own school system with universities. Can one imagine that Nazi Germany would have allowed higher education in occupied Czechoslovakia, Poland or Russia? So these parallels between Nazi Germans & Israelis are simply deliriously lunatic.

Israelis should have dumped all Arabs in 1967 to Egypt & Jordan & there would have been peace now. Or, concisely:

Islam has devolved in the past 100-200 years into something unbearable. True, they were aggressive from the beginning- especially against Hindus and Buddhists- but what is problematic: they seem to not possess the capacity for adaptation. Only sects like Ahmadiyya, Ismailis and new religions like Bahai.

Due to many historical-theological- cultural circumstances, they do not adapt & are always at odds with others. I do not idealize the Chinese, but they change their names into Brian, James, Robert...in the US, or Robert, Jacques ..in France (who would differentiate between all those Wang-Pong-Tangs?). Earlier, Jews adapted by becoming Karl, Siegfried, Heinrich...in Germany or Louis, Robert, Guillaume... in France.

But with Muslims- not. They retain Arabic names (although most are not Arabs); they try to impose their customs and laws on their host nations (shariah); they have organized criminal gangs, brimming with racial- religious destructive hatred aimed at the natives (Jewish organized crime in the US was not ethnically motivated- the same with Irish, Sicilian,...); they create no go zones (only blacks in the US are, in their primitive ways, similar); they...

Essentially, they are eternal aliens. Their civilization automatically creates enemies from Europe to authentic Russia to India to China and even Japan.

"Whatever our political differences, it is sad what happened to some of your family members during the Holocaust."

Yeah well maybe it was, but so the f#ck what? My grandfather died of tuberculosis coughing his lungs out in a filthy squat in a Yorkville tenement in 1939 leaving my mom fatherless as an infant, was that somehow less sad because he wasn't wearing a tiny hat at the time? Jack D would say so, and his blood-soaked holy books would support the inference. I used to work on Nevada Indian reservations, where people had great-grandfathers who were slaughtered by US Army troops, was that somehow less sad because the soldiers were wearing different arm-bands?

I have Hungarian relatives who were tortured and murdered by the Jew thug Bela Kun, and Irish relatives who were tortured and murdered by guys with Downton Abbey accents, can somebody explain to me why Anne Frank's death was more tragic or more horrible?

All I can suss out of this, is that Jewish deaths are sadder because racist Jews consider their lives to be more valuable than some stupid goy day-laborer, despite the fact that it was the goy's ancestors who built and created everything that made this civilization worth living in, and not the Jew swindler's-list guy, but somehow we are supposed to weep extra jumbo-sized weepy tears for the deaths of Jews that happened during the largest war in history, largely instigated by Jews, in which tens of millions of people perished, but the only ones whose deaths mattered were the guys wearing weird pajamas whose relatives took over all the publishing houses and university chairs.

The Romans renamed Judea to Palestine as a humiliation after the Bar Kokhba revolt was lost in 136. Jerusalem was renamed Aelia Capitolina. The idea was to literally erase the country and its history from the map.

After that, the name pops up now and then but as you noted, the Ottomans (the ruling power for many centuries) didn't really call it that, nor did the local Arabs use that word very often. The big revival was when the British and the French carved up Ottoman Syria and the British called their part "Palestine" since they had to put a name on the map. The original League of Nations Mandate for "Palestine" included the area of Transjordan (now called Jordan) but then the British peeled that part off.

Had the Arabs won the 1948 war, there would have no doubt been no "Palestine" - the territory would have just been split up among the conquering armies - some to Egypt, some to Syria, some to Jordan. This would have been fine with the local Arabs who didn't really have any sort of "Palestinian" identity or national aspiration (and it wouldn't have mattered if it was fine or not because Egypt/Syria/Jordan would not have consulted them or given away that which they conquered by force). No one asked for a state called "Palestine" to be formed in Gaza or the West Bank from 1948 to 1967 - Gaza was Egyptian territory and the West Bank was part of Jordan and if any Arab living their had asked for independence, they would have been dealt with harshly.

When the PLO was formed in 1964, the "Palestine" that they wanted to liberate was the land known to everyone else as the State of Israel.

This has not really changed. If you ask any "Palestinian", a "Palestine" consisting of the West Bank and Gaza is really just a temporary stopgap at best. The "Palestine" that they want includes the entire state of Israel "from the river to the sea" , which would necessitate the extermination of all the Jews currently living there (who in any event aren't going to want to live as jhimmis in a Muslim hellhole). October 7 was just a preview of what they want to do to the entire state of Israel. Any Arab who says otherwise is just saying nice things to please the West but given their druthers, this would be the plan. Maybe if they only had to kill half the Jewish population and the other half fled, that would be ok too.

Somehow, the prospect of being slaughtered (again) en masse does not appeal to the Jews of Israel so they do what they have to in order to prevent this from happening. If they have anything to say about it, they are not going to allow the birth of a "Palestine" that includes Tel Aviv, nor are they even going to allow an enemy state to be formed on their border whose perpetual goal will be to destroy them. Who in their right mind would permit this?

You are talking about 636? That was a long time ago.

>Throughout the period, Palestine was among the most prosperous and fertile provinces of the caliphate.

Something must have happened between 636 and 1867. Maybe global warming? 1200 years of Muslim rule? IDK. But by the time Mark Twain got there, he described it thus:

“. . . a desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds—a silent mournful expanse. . . . A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action. . . . We never saw a human being on the whole route. . . . There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country."

The Arabs definitely didn't call it "Palestine" because Arabic is lacking the letter P.

On October 6, 2023, there were ZERO Israeli invaders in Gaza. When Israel left Gaza in 2005, every single Jew left (because the Arabs would have killed them if they had stayed). The Israelis even dug up their dead from the cemeteries and took them too. (Hamas would have surely desecrated the graves).

Hamas had its own little Hamastan where they were free to kill their fellow Arabs (as they are doing right now, today). They didn't want Gaza, they wanted Tel Aviv and they can't have it. "Palestine" to them does not mean the 1967 borders, it means the whole damn thing "From the River to the Sea".

Let's say the Lenni Lenape tribe decides that they want Manhattan back. After all, history did not begin in 1626. They get some hang gliders and they land in Times Square and kill a bunch of tourists. How would the US respond to that?

Hamas gave it their best shot. They scored around a 9 on the FA index so they got 9 back on the FO index. What did you expect would happen?

The US is responsible for 30% of global manufacturing
 

The Internet by the late 2010s was getting weighed down by these kinds of auto-created sites. Today it's overflowing with them (rendering "Googling" often frustrating).

But your own source says:

"The [U.S.] accounts for roughly 9.5% of global manufacturing."

A New Study Finds the US Share of Global Manufacturing Will Fall to 11 Percent by 2030
 

By Meghan Ostertag|February 18, 2025

Source: United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), “The Future of Industrialization: Building Future-Ready Industries to Turn Challenges into Sustainable Solutions,” (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: UNIDO, October 2024).

Commentary: For much of the 20th century and into the early 2000s, high-income countries dominated global industrial production, namely the United States, Japan, and European nations. The United States was responsible for one-fourth of global manufacturing value-added, while Japan and Germany followed with 11 and 8 percent, respectively. In total, high-income countries accounted for 75 percent of global industrial output, while China was responsible for just 6 percent. However, due to the numerous national efforts to increase manufacturing capacity, such as “Made in China 2025”, China has upended the global manufacturing hierarchy. China currently holds the greatest share of global manufacturing value-added, with several sources estimating it controls between 26 and 30 percent. UNIDO estimates that by 2030, China will continue to gain ground in manufacturing industries, most worryingly in advanced technologies, increasing its share to 45 percent. The United States is estimated to hold 11 percent of the global share.

Chinese (pigs) won't starve. China has carefully planned this for a long time and Brazil & Argentina have become top exporters. One good thing that will come out of this is, if the Midwest soy farmers are forced out, it will save precious aquifer from drying out faster. Of course, Amazon rain forests are being cut to grow grains, but we can't solve all problems.
