1/ How a Tiny Ancient Group Bounced Back from Near-Extinction Samaritans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Persecution dropped them to 146 by 1918. Today they number 900. Resilience through high fertility, endogamy, and adaptation as the following will show.

🇫🇷⚜️ 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛 — Depuis 2 ans, plusieurs PÈLERINAGE liés à Notre-Dame de Chrétienté se sont CRÉÉS à travers toute la France, à l’initiative d’anciens pèlerins de Chartres. La plupart ne reçoivent pas le SOUTIEN des évêques locaux, notamment en raison de la liturgie traditionnelle. (L'Homme Nouveau)

At some point in history, a bunch of guys like this were convinced that Jesus Christ is the one true God. Do you think the gospel they heard sounded anything like what the anti Christian Nationalism crowd offers?

Being a white South African farmer is, by far, the most dangerous occupation in the world, with a peak rate of 313 murders per 100,000 a year (0.313%). At that rate, 3,130 per 100,000 (3.13%) would be killed over 10 years, and a constant hazard to age 80 implies about a 22% chance of being murdered.

🇧🇷 Brazilian Presidential election first round: Flávio Bolsonaro finishes ahead of Lula. (Pre-election polls: Whites favour Flávio, Browns and Blacks favour Lula) With almost all ballots counted from the October 4 first round, Flávio has finished first at about 47% of valid votes counted (roughly 56.1 million) to the incumbent Lula’s 45% (roughly 53.8 million). Neither have cleared 50%, so they will go to a runoff on October 25. - Pre-election polls, from Datafolha (late September) • Black voters (Pretos) - Lula 55% to Flávio 34% • Mixed race/Brown voters (Pardos) - Lula 49% to 44% • White voters (Brancos) Flávio 51% to Lula 40%. Quaest’s late September runoff poll showed the same patterns with Whites favouring Flávio by smaller margin at 45% to 37%. Again Blacks (47% to 34%) and Browns (46% to 40%) favouring Lula. • In the Northeast (according to the pre election polls) Lula was the clear favorite at 61% to 30% with the South favouring Flávio 57% to 38%, • Evangelicals were also found to strongly favour Flávio 58% to 34%. Women leaned Lula in the polls (51% to 41%) (Sources: Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, Datafolha, Quaest, AtlasIntel)

"they're terrified of opinions that they don’t see celebrated in the higher tiers of social media" @CenturionOFaith on the broader Big Eva worldview. Very astute. Consice and just about sums it up.

🇵🇱 Poland's demographic outlier: Sierakowice: To Polish accounts and Polish people more generally the fact that there exists in the Pomeranian region of the country, a very traditional and relatively fecund area will come as no surprise. However many Westerners may have never heard of the rural gmina of Sierakowice, within Kartuzy County in Kashubia not far from the major city of Gdańsk. • According to citypopulation.de 29.7% of the gmina's population of 21,233 is under the age of 18. • This is about 1.6 times the Polish national share (GUS). • The county of Kartuzy itself (Pop: 156k) is put at 26% (citypopulation.de) under the age of 18. Again far above the national average. • According to Poland.gg’s data both gmina and county total births have been falling in recent years however (see table below). • Sierakowice fell from 425 in 2018 to 287 in 2025 (Poland.gg). • The county likewise fell from 2,268 in 2019 to 1,691 in 2024 (Poland.gg). • The 2024 crude birth rates (see table below for gmina, county and national) were 14.1, 10.9 and 6.7 per 1,000 respectively (Polskawliczbach). • There is no published gmina total fertility rate (GUS). The county figure was 1.88 in 2023 (Forsal), the highest fertility rate in Poland that year. Later posts on X cite 1.65 or 1.67. - Whilst both figures are below the 2.1 replacement level, and births are still falling, they are the highest fertility figures in Poland in recent years. - Discussion I found online has differing opinions on the reason for the young age profile, with some people questioning the popular narrative that this part of the country's traditional mores have been overemphasized. With some believing that the county’s youth bulge is a result of young couples leaving Gdańsk and Gdynia for cheaper houses. - However in apparent opposition to this idea stands the fact that Sierakowice itself has births well above deaths and almost no net migration (Poland.gg). * Poland's demographic outlier has been an interesting topic. Perhaps Polish researchers like @ComteWasRight will know more and can correct any of my errors in reporting and analysis. So my apologies in advance.
