Jerry Cotton posted:Finland has two "main" official languages (there's more than two but I won't get into that now), Finnish and Swedish. Swedish is mandatory for every Finnish-speaking Finn at school and a lot of people are pissed off about that. Here's a map where red means a municipality with more Russian-speakers than Swedish-speakers and green means more Swedish-Speakers than Russian-speakers. White means "no information". Russian isn't an official language in Finland, by the way. So is there not a green on the map intentionally? e:f,b

This is from Wikipedia, but it's related to that Finnish map. Distribution of the Russian language in Estonia according to data from the 2000 Estonian census. The situation in Estonia is quite different from Finland, but I guess one general point is that no country in the EU will accept Russian as an official language. There was a referendum in Latvia some months ago and the result was, as expected, against it. Also, this map does have green

Based on the most recent US labour report, you can see the US has practically a split labour market: Younger and older than 55. The lesson is to be well established in your job already.   From Via Media/Zero Hedge

Not to mention that when you have a 16:1 disparity between US population and Romanian population, you'd expect to hear about ______ every week from America even if it only happens 3-4 times a year in Romania.

Between 16 and 55 is going to be the bulk of the time anyone spends in employment, assuming most people will have retired by 65 or so. There won't be as many people over 55 still looking for work.

From the second graph, it seems to me that the people who have the most reason to bitch are Generation X-ers (red and yellow lines). They should be in their prime earning years right now, but their labor force participation keeps going down.

menino posted:It's pretty easy to have good internal race relations when you just kill the ones you don't like. Romanians have about as much moral authority as Germans when it comes to racial politics. I'm far from defending Antonescu or the Iron Guard as they are a huge stain on our history but there is a little nuance to this quote:The Jewish population in the Old Kingdom, numbering between 300,000 and 400,000 people, survived the Holocaust almost intact.[345] Reflecting on this fact, Lucian Boia noted that Antonescu could not "decently" be viewed as a rescuer of Jews, but that there still is a fundamental difference between the effects of his rule and those of Hitler's, concluding that the overall picture is not "completely dark."[346] For Dennis Deletant, this situation is a "major paradox" of Antonescu's time in power: "more Jews survived under [Antonescu's] rule than in any other country within Axis Europe."[120] American historian of Romania William O. Oldson views Antonescu's policies as characterized by "violence, inconsistency and inanity",[347] but places them in the wider context of local antisemitism, noting some ideological exceptions from their respective European counterparts. These traits, he argues, became "providential" for the more assimilated Jewish communities of the Old Romanian Kingdom, while exposing Jews perceived as foreign.[348] Discussing Antonescu's policy of ethnic cleansing, Polonksy and Mihlic note: "[it] raises important questions about the thin line between the desire to expel an unwanted minority and a small-scale genocidal project under sanctioned conditions."[343] American military historian Gerhard L. Weinberg made reference to the Antonescu regime's "slaughter of large number of Jews in the areas ceded to the Soviet Union in 1940 when those areas were retaken in 1941 as well as in [...] Transnistria", but commented: "the government of Marshal Ion Antonescu preferred to rob and persecute Jews [from Romania]; the government would not turn them over to the Germans for killing."[321] For the reason why Antonescu refused to turn over the jews from the old kingdom to the germans and they remained mostly unharmed, I don't think there's a definite answer. One wacky theory is that he heard the germans were treating the romanian jews in Transylvania worse than the hungarian jews so he felt personally insulted; the real reason more likely is that he realized pretty early Hitler is gonna be defeated so he wanted a bargaining chip, and also he was extorting protection money from local jews. Another probable factor is that the most antisemitic faction in Romania, the Iron Guard, had been purged by Antonescu pretty early in the war. Those Jews who escaped ended up emigrating to Israel after the war or being sold by the communist regime to the israelis (just how the large german minority in Transylvania ended up being sold to west Germany). There being very few jews left is probably one of the reasons there's very little antisemitism here today, as opposed to Hungary for example where it's all the rage. On the other hand the mainstream public, while not antisemitic, doesn't really know or care about Romania's role in the holocaust; maybe that's gonna change in time, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Fizzil posted:That white blot looks like Sri Lanka, also below egypt Sudan/South Sudan are sort of also exploded, do these count or is it Somalia dragging east africa or something? There's also Angola west of what I assume are Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan. I remember reading years ago that the population which had been pushed to the coast by the civil war had trouble returning to the inland as it was filled with landmines, and that was a big factor in the failure to get agriculture back on track. An interesting fact is that the "pro-western" rebel faction UNITA, which was responsible for the majority of said land mines, had purchased those land mines with american money as it had a huge fan in the american republican party which gave them a ton of money and helped them train.
