A Wip Wondering
I wonder what one trait a demographic needs to possess in order to secure its long term survival.
Marksmanship!

First, fertility. Then, resilience.
I’m torn between the willingness to use violence and intelligence.
Let’s first get our definitions straight.
A demographic is defined as *a particular sector of a population.*
Is our starting point the global population?
If so I’d say there are strong cases for religion (specifically Islam) and low-IQ (specifically sub-Saharan Africa).
Both demographics fit the bill when it comes to fertility and propensity for violence as mentioned by other commenters, and neither appears in danger of dying out anytime soon.
White Americans as a demographic had better concentrate on marksmanship and getting the fertility rate up.
Look at the longest surviving identifiable demographic groups and figure out how they did it.
IQ plays a big role, probably the most important one.
Freedom = opportunity to access the means to survive and thrive.
Without it, one has limited choices and options.
Marksmanship? Have to have the freedom and access to the tools for that, which we do.
Fertility yes, but the 1 child rule in China limited that.
Resilience might have to be learned via the association of free people to assemble and learn what others might know instinctively.
Intelligence needs freedom of association for access to learning from others who are free to teach and instruct others on methods and topics that increase intelligence. Slavery closes that off.
Violence is a threat to the victims. All should be free to not be subject to it.

You had to mention potatoes…
A preacher’s wife goes out on one of her routine shopping trips. Today, she visits the butcher.
When she arrives at the Butcher shop she inquires about pricing of chicken, roast beef, chops etc.
The Butcher suggests she considers this new fish he has started selling.
She thinks this might be a nice change in menu for the family and inquires as to the origin and price per pound.
The Butcher tells her it is “Dam Fish”.
She recoils in horror as she understood him to say damn fish.
He corrects her by telling her that the fish is caught at local dams, fresh, and by the way, delicious.
She makes the purchase.
Later…
The Minister arrives at about 5:30 pm from his church office and inquires: ‘Hi honey, what’s for dinner tonight?”
She replies: “Tonight Dear, we are having “Dam Fish”….
The Rev. is astounded and proceeds to scold her for the use of bad language.
She, of course, corrects him.
He asks as to the whereabouts of their son.
She replies: “He had a late game after school and will be home soon.”
The Rev. and wife are just placing hot food on the table and are getting ready to sit down as the son arrives. The son washes his hands and is chattering away about the events of the game.
The son sits down and the Rev. proceeds to say Grace.
When he finishes praying he asks the wife to try some of the “Dam Fish”
The son pipes up and exclaims:
“That’s the spirit Dad, pass me the fuckin’ potatoes!”
Thank you, Grog, for that laugh. I needed it today.
Will, indomitable ferocious will, like the Voortrekker Boers, or the a viking Vikings, or the Mongol horde.
Who blinks first loses.
My answer: intellect; flexibility/adaptability; widely spread and tight self-discipline; imagination and determination to put it to work. One could go on and on, but there’s one other factor that can’t go unmentioned: willingness to go rogue if there’s an oppressive governmental structure in place. Forelock-tuggers who fall back on obedience to legislation favoring aliens are voluntarily claiming themselves a species in danger of extinction and as far as I know, there’s no legislation in place or planned that will prevent said extinction form taking place sooner rather than later.
Adaptability to changing external environmental factors and a little bit of luck end up being two key characteristics for a member of a specific species to survive.
Natural Selection suggests so.
Quick history example:
WHERE: Europe
WHEN: During 1st Industrial Revolution
There were a species of moths that lived in a forest. The moths varied in color from white to grey/black. A coal powered factory was built near forest. Which colored moths do you think survived over time with the addition of black soot and ash to the moths’ external environment?
Uncola mentioned resiliency, with homo sapiens, resiliency , which is made up of several cognitive processes, IS a great quality to possess.
Moral certainty, or moral justification. It provides the inner strength to do everything else.
A Patriarchal Society.
Male dominance and authority. Case in point, our current matriarchy is collapsing, and Europe is terminally cucked.
Wisdom
I agree with you, Anonymous.
Respectable IQ level, less than 90 and society doesnt function.
This is why sub-saharan Africa is garbage.
Do you think the white race will survive as more than a remnant? The red race is now a remnant.
And is too much freedom for women a problem because then they are less likely to have children? And the children they do have are more likely to be raised by the state (no stay-at-home moms)?
I am a white women and have a lot of freedom and did not have any children. I am past child-bearing years now. Less freedom could be OK if the woman’s role is treated with respect. Women can not be treated like slaves.
Only one thing matters. Ability to adapt. To be successful you need to adapt to your enviroment OR adapt your enviroment to YOU.
Everything else listed by everyone is an extension of a set of circumstances that a cohort finds its self in. All the marksmanship in the world will not help you in a modern country where long term survival is based on education and high paying jobs. Also not very good in mass cities where firearms are unheard of and hard work/family ties are a key part of survival.
Perseverance.
Which is why I fear Islam. And the Chinese. Those bastards are in it for the long run. They never give in, never give up, never forget, and sure as hell can hold a grudge. And they are masters at passing grudges down through generations.
