thanks for this tip but no thanks. Media hype generated by layers of people who do not code, do not paint or draw, do not write expository articles and do not write cute fiction, but are driven by deep poclets investor money.. actively pushes out the practice and livelyhood of skilled adults who must earn money to pay for living in Western society. There is a lot of deep pocket investor money, lots of cloud compute available for a time-unit billing price, and apparently enough people who will carry water for those investment bucks.

Simply pointing to the typical dull adult watching the parade of this, and half-heartedly urging some vague amount of understanding, seems to be cold-comfort and basically pissinginthe wind.


that period exactly touches the nerve of Catholic versus non-Catholic history.. The removal of that cause of war was a driver for the US Constitution religious liberty clauses.. so repeating in detail the drivers of the conflict is not taught in public schools in the USA generally, yes agree

"no" but there is clearly an arms race going on

this was certainly amazing to see (at least two years ago)

there is not one USA with respect to these things.. "all people" did not stop living more than 65 years recently

around 1900 more than a quarter of the population of Denmark emigrated to the USA IIR

Around 140k emigrated to USA in 1900-1930 (https://danishvoices.ku.dk/danish-in-north-america/)

Denmark’s population was 2.4m-3.5m in that period (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Denmark)


my sources : "a History of the Lutheran Church in America", and a personal history written at that time. If your records are accurate and unbiased, I would accept that answer completely and admit it.. but I am not convinced both of those are true. It is interesting and more clarity is welcome. Also your estimate of the population varies by 40% so the accuracy is in question.

ku.dk is Copenhagen University, which I would regard as accurate and unbiased.

Wikipedia cites Danmarks Statistik for the population numbers, the official government statistics.

The 2.4m is in 1900, 3.5m in 1930.


That's a horrible source. You really rather go with an old book about church history instead of official data?

are you the same guy that gives free coffee to the crooked county sheriffs on their way to take most of a year's harvest on the basis of fake laws?

I dont know anything about quebec but honestly this statement is so one-sided that it translates to "noise" and "rage bait" level

Sometimes history has clear villains.

that regulation is more than 100 years ago?

One chapter in a long history of anti Quebecois sentiment from the national government in desire of homogeny. There is a reason why the present autonomy was insisted upon.

> a natural inclination to worship something.

uh really? Barbarism and brute force have succeeded many times.
