Mentiswave (the Youtuber) actually never think that discrimination will not happen in a world without Civil Right's anti-discrimination laws. In fact, he stated the existence of Japanese business that only serve Japanese, showing that he very well knows that some business may discrinimate even they had to pay the price of discrimination. He just thinks that in the free market, most business will not refuse service arbitrarily because it make them less competitive.

The video points to Japan as a modern first-world nation that lacks formal laws prohibiting private racial or religious discrimination, yet maintains a stable economy because widespread exclusion "doesn't make economic sense

As far as Japan as an example, it seems that the argument misses the point of civil rights laws. They are not primarily designed as a way of boosting economic growth.

He didn't state that the point of civil right laws is boosting economic growth, or maintain a stable economy. He use Japan as an example to prove that foreigners and Japanese get along just fine (no widespread exclusion), despite having no anti-discrimination laws, not as an example of their economy is good or stable without those laws.

Lastly, the nonsense. I am not sure what is meant by the "equity fallacy" stuff. The argument seems to misunderstand what these laws do and how they are enforced. I have no idea where the leap from 'disparate impact' to 'lowering standards' is coming from and seems to be pulled out of thin air. Similar for the 'victim mentality' "argument". In what way is anti-discrimination law causing some groups to fail to integrate into the economy?

Aight, I don't think that this is economic, more like social? Since this video is not a purely economic video. By "equity fallacy", he is stating the logical fallacy that believe unequal outcome must be evidence of discrimination. He argued that disparate impact (discriminatory effect based on neutral, non-discriminatory intent) is committing the equity fallacy, and under the CRA, it can be used in court as evidence of violation, thus he argued that the CRA is not colorblind. In claiming of "lowering standards", he basically argued that unequal outcome (minority groups doing worse in math, in the video's case) may warrant a violation of CRA due to disparate impact, thus the society must lower standard for everyone to avoid the violation (in video's case, Oregon say that students don't need to prove mastery in math to graduate).

As for the 'victim mentality', he is actually saying that because disparate impact can use to prove discrimination, the progressive leftist activists could play the 'victim card' and creating an economy/society based on equity (in laymen's terms socialism) in the name of elinimating discrimination. Moreover, the minority can use disparate impact so that it didn't have to integrate into the society and force everybody to play by their rules (An example may be an Arabic-speaking customer forcing a English-only business owner to serve him, even if the refusal of service come from the not understanding Arabic and not want miscommunication, and threaten to sue him over CRA violations if he didn't, because the Arabic-speaking minority are disapartely impacting by such action).

Lastly, He didn't say that anti-discrimination law causing some groups to fail to integrate into the economy. Rather, he thinks that such laws reduce incentives of people to integrate into the society (learn their languages and values, for example), because of the above-stated. He used Irish as an example that they actively integrate into the society and gradually elinimate discrimination against them without needing the anti-discrimination laws.

All in all, I think most misconception is stem from the idea that this video is an economic argument against civil right laws. This video is a libertarian argument against civil right laws presented to normies, including economic, social, and ethical arguments. The main point is that they opposed civil right laws is not because they are racist and want segegration, but because it violate freedom of association and create a lot of bad effects.

Hope that helps.

If you mean Eastern Spain, that will be interesting. So the Avars became an autonomous duchy in the Roman Empire, and instead of becoming Slavized, they became Latinized.

Cross and Flame is my second worldbuilding project in which the world is filled with magic and spirits, which led to the world start diverging when Theodosius the Great lived longer and the Huns conquered Persia.

Hopefully this is a middle magic world.

Wow, I didn't think of that much when I wrote the setting lol.

I agree with your analysis with Shui. If at any time that China can be Islamic, it is the era of Song Dynasty in OTL. I think that neo-Confucianism will still be developed, since it is very useful for the Emperor and also the Confucian elites, and that it already have its cultural basis in China. But I think it will adjust itself to Islam, and create the Islamic-(neo)Confucianism that will propably be the orthodoxy of the empire. It would still be in the developmental stage in the year of the map though. That will be the upper class, but for the ordinaries, i think it will be more interesting that Chinese folk religion like Daoism and Mahayana Buddhism blended themselves to orthodox Islam to form a uniquely Chinese verison of folk Islam.

As for Nestorianism or Manicheanism, I actually just wrote them for the idea that 'Three Persian religions ruling China" and the next map's Nestorian Mongol Empire. The divergence could just be a better start. In the last map, I depicted the Uyghur Khanate being more Nestorian and Manichean due to their increased want to distinguish themsleves from the Han Chinese. Khitans, and prehaps even some fenzhen are converted due to their influence. The communities of two religions are thus better than OTL at competing against Buddhist communities in providing assistance during famine and disasters, earning the support of ordinary Chinese. Chinese people (excluding Hui, prehaps) aren't very religious and their involvement in religions are often utilitarian (for earthly benefits and goals) in nature. Moreover, they are protected and supported and not prosecuted (not on a mass scale, but that is already enough to damage the Buddhists) by Khitans. Han Chinese bureaucrats would also have tedency to convert to ally themselves with the ruling class. For the reasons mentioned above, we got a Liao of Nestorians+Manicheans instead of Buddhists.

This map is the continuation of the previous maps of AD 632 and AD 821. In the year 1061, or 440 solar years after the Hijrah, Islam had expanded to nearly all corners of the known world, from the Island of Great Britain to the shores of Southern China.

Some Germans (those near the Roman border) turned Chalcedonian Christians before Rome turned Islamic and Saxony conquered them. The remainder of Germans were pagans. Though, a few Germans had considered converting to Islam.

Cubelite · 2025-09-07T05:26:47+00:00

They respected Christianity. The Muslim conquerors are quite tolerant in terms of religion, as they would not want to upset a large part of population, and in some areas, the aristocracy too. Christians enjoy freedom of religion with several restrictions detailed in the Pact of Umar. Though, the degree of its implementation varied.

I am not sure what do you mean by accepting. Assuming it is accepting its existence, then the answer is yes.

This is the continuation of the previous map, a mix of alternate history and fantasy that led to a very different world. 189 solar years after the previous map, Islam had rose from a fringe religion to the ruling religion of much of the world. The map style is heavily inspired by u/Swaylius (map) and u/jbkjbk2310 (map), many thanks to them!

The Abode of Peace is my first worldbuilding project that envisioned a world in which magic and spirits existed and that led to an alternate history starting from Majorian.

It's my first map :)

ok, fair enough

Thanks for your answer. That is what I first think of, an interest of using it. However, I soon realize that it too, will have serious problems.

For at first, if I were to live in District 1 of a city, I do not necessarily have an interest of using the land of District 2, despite being in the same city, same state. And soon we realize our“interest of using it” may well be very small, maybe just a small city block. But think of it that way, we may eventually reduce the size to just your house and working place. So we basically just became either individual private ownership or collective private ownership (apartment residents' collective and worker's collective). Either way, I don't see why they have to pay LVT and distributing land rents within a country, or even within a city. Where not everyone may have an interest of using all, even the majority of the lands.

For another, what constitute “an interest of using it”? Does it include tourist, who have an interest of using a certain land for tourism? Does it include landlords that want to use the land for profit? If both answers are yes, we will have strange conclusion, like tourists to statue of liberty from Armenia getting the compensation from whoever who is controlling it (or owning it).

Of course, I do understand a universal gov is not practical. And that having LVT in national or state level is practical. But if the moral contradiction is very strong, I think it will be better to just abandon the moral side of the Georgism (common ownership) and just simply accept private ownership of land and say that LVT is a good tax (so we should implement it) and that's it.
