Colonization was a great human achievement and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

Not great about creating the US, look at how things are going on today.

Better than a century ago.

The problems of today were caused by slavery and later immigration. If the US was only inhabited by people of European descent, it’d be an amazing place to live.

I'd be a second, larger, Argentina.

>>18764415
The no later immigrants part is key. No indios. But it’s becoming a second, larger Brazil at this point anyway.

>>18764642
I'd say Brazil with a 25 years delay.

that map is epic.

>>18764409
The impoverished descendants of the less lucky early immigrants would cause problems too. Just like how late but successful immigrants cause no problems.

The US would be Africa-tier if American Indians had it

Only if they were never Americanized into soulless mutts.

Argentines are only 71% European.

Not nearly on the same level. The US would have the same crime rates as places like Denmark if we only had to contend with trailer trash.

With it's ethos centered around personal freedom I think America would always be more violent than European countries but I agree that slavery didn't help.

I think Anglo-American, which at this point comprises many with mixed northern European ancestry, are more peaceful than you give them credit for. There’s a large emphasis on freedom but an understanding, at least previously, that this comes with significant responsibility. There’d always be more guns, a more belligerent and martial outlook because of a frontier freedom mentality, but the frontiers are settled. All the lower class Anglo-Americans get up to now is domestic violence and trying to be wiggers, but they’re much slower to pointless violence compared to other Americans.
