@alt_ccc I think the saddest realization is that a one state solution, especially in this climate, will not be possible, and people who believe it sadly are naive. A one state solution just leads a runoff election between people like Ben Gavir and Yahwya Sinwar.

Just watched Inside the Manosphere and was shocked by the underrepresentation of Asians.

This is totally insane. A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome. He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were.  This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice. This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff. The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters.  When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Yes, the Indian left is fundamentally status quoist in its orientation. They are defenders of what the Marxist historian Sudipta Kaviraj referred to as Nehru's "passive revolution." When Nehru and his coterie of modernist elite took the reins of power post-independence, they relied on political alliances with conservative religious and caste elites at the regional level. This was necessary b/c this elite did not have a constituency of their own to give them democratic legitimacy (this is why Gandhi was so critical, relatedly, as he bridged the gap between this elite and the Indian masses). The result was a ham fisted attempt to impose modernity from above, while ensuring that there would be no social upheaval to unseat them from below.
The Emissary@TheEmissaryCo

Sometimes I forget that the Indian Left does not possess a positive vision for India. There is no grand Indian narrative for them. Nehru's palimpsest now sits rotting under feudalist ideas of a 'union of states.' India is not an arc of history. It is instead envisioned as random fiefdoms united by a happenstance document shoddily put together in a fit of plagiarism. There is no underlying soul to the country for leftists. It is rather an arrangement of randomness. They despise what binds the civilization together. Their activists champion an overturning of order while their leaders calcify India's stagnant rentierism to benefit their rapaciousness and stifle competition from India's burgeoning middle class. It is vital to imbibe an understanding of this adversary of India's advancement.

The rise of “looksmaxxing” seems to indicate that many modern young men have little confidence that they can acquire gf through improving their personality or learning social algorithms like the 2000s PUAs, which is curious

Most Indian Americans (and other desis) have no idea about the level of institutional discrimination they are up against when they try to go for “prestige” sectors. We are seen as an outgroup whose success has to be mitigated against.

@zagrebbi @BarneyFlames South Asians are simply much less likely to complain about affirmative action than Whites or East Asians. The plaintiffs in these cases are overwhelmingly White or East Asian and opinion polling shows less opposition among South Asians

The sooner you realize that women’s desires go way beyond what the internet describes as an “alpha Chad male” the sooner you will understand women Until then you’ll make weird posts like this about happy married couples
Westside L.A. Guy@WestsideLAGuy

This is successful founder of Airtable Howie Liu & wife (she’s 3 years older). They have a great life together, new baby, and I’m sure he’s a loyal provider husband & dad. But she’s not genuinely sexually & romantically attracted to him. To deny this reality is cope.

@cremieuxrecueil This is after controlling for everything in the data: SAT, early decision, legacy, being an athlete etc. Readers rate South Asian applicants higher than East Asians on academic, personal, and extracurricular scores — yet the committee still admits them less. What's up with this?

It won’t be possible. There are some things that MAGA genuinely believes to an extent that influencers cannot shift them. Eg the vaccine. Trump himself liked the vaccine, but he could not shift MAGA on it. Similarly, they deeply, genuinely hate Indians. They get gleeful about ruining the life of some suburban tech worker who went to visit his dying mom. I even saw one MAGA-aligned substacker attacking India over the Junagadh annexation, not even Pakistanis talk about that. As I followed the American Right, I quickly realized that Indians are dealing with an enemy more monstrous than even the Ghaznavids. The latter just cared about Islam and plunder, MAGA is motivated by a a pure, malevolent hatred.
