"Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain." Three things: (1) The use of the word "just" tells us a lot about the person using it. (Also, the current percentage is probably closer to 7% than 6%, and continues to increase.) (2) UK Muslims are not the mostly secular and mostly educated type of Muslims the US gets through immigration. They're far more likely to be low-performing, insular, religiously aggressive and openly contemptuous of the West. (3) Overall, I think Muslim immigrants in the US (very much unlike those in Europe) are a net asset. But I also think that we now have enough data from other Western nations that we should probably start thinking about what the tipping point might be in the Muslim percentage of our population before it starts taking on the characteristics of those in the UK and France.

Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain. Conspiracy theories currently being aired by right wing bigots that they are secretly plotting the Islamic domination of the country are the 21st century Islamophobes' equivalent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and just as idiotic, and as dangerous

@avidseries Balkanisation is the biggest problem. You cannot let them build up their own insular communities like in Dearborn. They will build political power and subvert democracy to their own ends. Even relatively liberal Muslims will backslide in those environments.

Nomadic Warriors for Pritzker⚔️
Correct! Their movement was led by a world-historic con man and all of the foot soldiers were too dumb and cretinous to accomplish their aims! Their big immigration push was sunk by nice Minnesotans who stood up for their neighbors! Kash Patel is having too much fun flying his Swiss girlfriend around to persecute their political enemies. They had no foreign policy vision, so neocons happily filled the vacuum. They thought that sending Elon and a bunch of CS majors into the federal bureaucracy would demolish "The Cathedral," but these days the DOGE bros are getting deposed and Elon spends his hours commenting "Very Nice" on AI images of anime girls. Now the Democrats are going to sweep Congress, and spend the next two years hauling all of Trump's cronies in and raking them over hot coals. While this happens, the lame-duck president will be too occupied picking out trim for his ballroom to bother himself with their protection, or, for that matter, with tending to the political project he ostensibly set in motion. The movement will continue, all right, but it will be the purview of increasingly marginal dum-dums and grifters huffing the exhausted fumes of Trumpism as the bored public slowly drifts away. All of this happened for a simple reason: the far right doesn't know how anything works. If the movement had a real understanding of the mechanisms of government or the material basis for liberalism, maybe they would have had a shot at implementing durable right-wing authoritarianism in this country. Things certainly looked like they were trending in that direction on Jan 20, 2025. The wind was very much at their back! It didn't go that way, though, because the movement ran aground on the problem that Umberto Eco identified 30 years ago: "Fascist are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy." If you live in a dreamworld of conspiracy, you will spend all of your energy punching at shadows, and none of it landing haymakers. But they can't land the knockout blow because they can't identify what "the left" really is or what powers it. This is why this guy's schtick is so funny and so representative: the libertarian who always agrees with the authoritarian right. "Crush the left" - Hayek would be proud! It's emblematic of the pervasive self-delusion that has led them into the wilderness. If crushing the left was ever the goal of their leaders, they would have brought along at least a few serious people. But they didn't, and the movement will spend what remains of its stamina building the Big Beautiful Ballroom: MAGA's sarcophagus.

The American right had a once in a generation moment to crush the left and squandered it.

@Noahpinion Saying the n-word in a non offensive way wasn’t socially unaccceptable until about 2015. Seems she used the word as a stand in for “friend” in 2013 when she was 15

a barrel of oil can provide as much electricity as a 400W solar panel does annually. a barrel of oil runs $92 and comes with a few minor logistical complications. this year the solar panel should run less than $90; you can order online, ships in a week.

@JennaRMar @bunchonumb3rs Can’t compare NYC to other places, and cant compare it to itself in the past, you just want to cry cry despite all the facts that NYC is a safe place to live? Why limit it to crime? New York City’s ALL CAUSE age-adjusted mortality is substantially lower than the U.S. overall.

You live in a white suburb of Washington and you idiots only have a few defaults - this is another one shitlibs like to pull to jerk off to, that there's intellectual significance for current taxpayers and residents of a city in 30 year old crime figures. Why limit it to crime? Let's stop worrying about overdoses and people dying of HIV and the stupid shit you care about in policy. Why shouldn't I follow the lead of disgusting shitlibs touching themselves in public, like yourself, and demand Democrats stop caring about black infant mortality, since the numbers in 2026 aren't as bad as they were in 1983? You're a rodent.

Among the 50 largest cities in US: NYC ranks near the bottom for murder rate and property crime rate, and in the middle for overall violent crime rate. But hyperpartisans don't care about statistical reality. They prefer to trust their feels and biases.

NYC is turning into a crime ridden hellhole.

Note to @elonmusk. This stuff is going to destroy your site. It will take time. It won’t happen overnight. But the more this defamatory foreign slop and its bot armies are allowed to promulgate, the more it’s going to drain the breathing user base and turn off advertisers.
