@WellsJorda89710 Vivek was born here. 🤦🏽‍♀️

🚨VIVEK JUST EXPOSED THE “HERITAGE AMERICAN” MYTH 🔥 (And he’s 100% RIGHT) 🇺🇸 If you come here the right way — legally, with respect for our laws and our flag — you are a full American. Period. This “heritage American” nonsense that says unless you were born here you’re somehow less American? That’s the same supremacy logic the left loves to scream about. By that standard, you’re telling Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk they’re second-class. Absurd. I’ve met legal immigrants who are more patriotic than most native-born Americans. They came here for freedom, not handouts — and they defend it harder than some people who were handed citizenship at birth. Republicans, we have to do better. A changing nation doesn’t need gatekeeping — it needs unapologetic Americanism. Don’t tell the next generation of legal, hard-working, flag-loving Americans “you’re not really one of us.” Vivek is just as American as I am. Full stop. Who’s with me? 🇺🇸 #VivekRamaswamy #LegalImmigration #AmericaFirst #RealAmerican #Patriots #UnapologeticAmericanism #MAGA

@venom1s Yeah I mean of course. Cancel all charges against this dude. 🤣

@evanwch The biggest damage it has done is to women. By shutting off the most-likely-to-lead-to-a-healthy-relationship channel for meeting people - the workplace. The place where you are surrounded by people most like you, is the place where you're not supposed to ask anyone out.

I remember the first time I realized how everyday men must have felt during the “Me Too” movement I was on a tinder date when a guy asked permission to kiss me. It was the first time in my life anyone had ever done that and it completely turned me off It was also the first time I noticed how the politics of “Me Too” had seeped into my personal life, how men’s natural behavior had started to shift, shaped by fear “I don’t want to get in trouble,” he said, after noticing my reaction. “Have you seen the news?” This was right after Alyssa Milano asked people to reply “Me Too” if they had experienced sexual harassment or assault. The hashtag was everywhere. Suddenly unavoidable Women don’t understand how the excesses of Me Too have done REAL damage. They’ve made normal interactions between men and women impossible, they’ve made all men marked as “predators” for normal behavior, and it’s turned all women into helpless victims with no agency It’s time we #MuteMeToo

@venom1s Actually, no. Biological drive requires men to chase women (true for all other mammals), so some mid women would indeed "get lucky" if the formalized process of positive assortative matching known as arranged marriages (matching likes to likes), was discontinued.

Indian girls keep saying that if arranged marriage is banned in India, most men won’t get married. Wrong. Even in arranged marriages, girls choose a man who is well-settled and has good income and property. Remove arranged marriage, and it would have no impact on men's ability to find a partner. While many unemployed, greedy girls who are a burden and get married by paying dowry won’t get married. Nobody marries an unemployed man anyway, so there is no difference if arranged marriage is removed. It’s women who get a good future and a comfortable life for free.

@kangminlee Any relationship is "emotional labor." Housework is "unpaid labor." Sex you didn't like has to always be monetized with a subsequent harassment lawsuit. But sex work is empowering. As long as u directly pay women for every interaction with them, it's good and empowering.

This is a great point. Feminism is deeply materialistic. It swaps a mother’s natural role for wage labor, then counts paying another woman for daycare as “economic growth” that boosts GDP. And everyone celebrates. All while stripping a child away from his or her mother. On its face, it’s absurd.

@pankaj689700 @venom1s That is absolutely correct. It is way better to have a housewife who makes zero than a wife who makes 1/10 as much as you. She will spend the same 14 hours a day in, and commuting to and fro, that job as you & use that as justification for making u do 50% of household chores.

@venom1s better to mary a good girl who earns nothing rather than these vultures...these type of gils will neither help you financially nor take care of home...

An Indian woman with an 11 LPA salary wanted to marry a guy with a 1 crore LPA income. She rejected guys who earned below that. The expectations of Indian women are sky high in marriage these days. In the end, the matchmaker had to remove her. Why are women so greedy? Why can’t they marry someone at the same income level? Also, in case of divorce, that guy will lose property and have to give her hefty maintenance. Why are women such gold diggers? What happened to equality?

@venom1s The family which stood out as the most casteist is coincidentally from the very community (Bengali) which is known to have largely done away with arranged marriages altogether - leave alone caste matches. Yeah sounds about right. Totally happened.

@PaulBoris_ @JaredOliphint @kearney_melissa My suggestion is that you save for your old age, also known as making a retirement plan. Simple. If you spent everything you earned when you were young, it's not the problem of today's youth. Be more responsible. That's all.

In the US, if you look at our spending at the federal budget level, we spend 5x per capita on people over the age of 65 than we do for people under the age of 18. It shows you the priorities of a society. - @kearney_melissa

@jenniferdoleac "Verified in the media OR court cases" makes me nervous. The media often exaggerates and publicizes claims of sexual misconduct which are later discredited by the courts (too many examples to cite). This definition is the most important.

I can’t wait to read this. A big challenge in dealing with sexual misconduct in academia is that too many (mostly male) professors think it has no long-term consequences. They can’t understand how it could. “So she had a bad day? We’ve all had bad days. Shake it off.” Economists know to take our disagreements to the data. I think this matters and you don’t? Let’s run the numbers. Research like this is showing that bad behavior has real and lasting consequences — for individuals and the field. I hope it changes minds and priorities. We can’t keep sweeping this stuff under the rug.

@lreyzin Is there any problem in life to which "eat healthy and work out" isn't the foremost solution? Hit your forties? Eat healthy and work out. Gf left you? Eat healthy and work out. PhD stress? Eat healthy and work out. I wish it was that simple.

I endorse 1-8. After that, the advice becomes less dependable.

@JMcMurdockMP Who stopped you from locking your door? The most sensible lesson here is for you to lock your door, not for new laws to be passed converting trespass into a criminal offence.

@LisaBritton I don't think they're looking for equality of outcome. They are looking for equality of outcome for *desirable* things in which men have been the majority, traditionally. E.g., they are not looking for equality of outcome in sentencing,child custody, Univ administration... Etc.

Why did the idea of gender equality go from equal opportunity and valuing the sexes equally to equal outcome, making the sexes the same and discriminating & demonizing men?

@aamirkhan78 You didn't move to Australia to ensure your kids grow up away from religious fundamentalism and free from biases. You moved to Australia for better economic opportunities. :)

Moved to Australia to ensure that when kids grow up they are away from any religious fundamentalism and free from any biases. So that the kids can experience the good side of multicultarism. Only to find now that there are these whatsapp adults who pitch a Religious flag at a local park and train kids under that influence. Why should this be allowed? @TruthFairy131 what’s your take on this?

@ashleytrubin It is! Normalize working remotely (at least partly)!

One of the biggest challenges to fixing academia is a fundamental structural problem: it's really hard to switch jobs. There are very few (good) jobs. The main job market is once a year. Jobs tend to be in different cities/states. Moving costs a lot of money (plus housing market issues) and entails productivity loss. Folks don't want to disrupt their families. You look like a psycho if you move around too much. If you have a job and apply elsewhere, people think you're just negotiating with your home institution (bc you probably are). Industry jobs do this better. You get a bad boss, a toxic work environment, your company is poorly run, you're not advancing as you believe you should,... you can turn to the market to fix these problems, usually without a big relocation effort. Switching jobs is expected and in some cases how you do job/career advancement. In academia, it's a lot harder to turn to the market to fix problems. I suspect this is one reason why we see some talented folks leave academia, even after tenure. And it's why many people just check out/phone it in when their dept/college/uni starts to sour. I don't think this is a fixable problem, but folks looking to disrupt academia should focus on this issue.

@Brian_Sauve Performative suicidal empathy. Persecution complex. Which combines victimhood with moral superiority complex.

Why do young women vote for leftist candidates at such staggering rates? What's your theory? Top three reasons?

@MrAndyNgo Zero people with young kids/ financial stress/ caregiver responsibilities/demanding jobs/long hours etc have EVER participated in a "costume protest". They don't have the time/money/bandwidth to do that. If you do, you don't speak for the oppressed.

D.C. (Nov. 5) — Leftist protesters marched in the communist-organized "Refuse Fascism" direct action in the capital.

@CletusBower @robkhenderson This is my main problem with them. They see everything natural as problematic. Men being men, women being women, people protecting their self interests... Everything which is an expression of our innate nature, is a problem.

@robkhenderson The Left is anti-nature.

Next up: “Is owning a house embarrassing now?” If you cannot get what you want, you must teach yourself it is undesirable.

@PicturesFoIder What about the mothers of the women who dress in a way in public which requires the "raised right" men to look away? 😊 You can't have it both ways.

Their mother raised them right 👏

@RitableP Making them feel valued and respected is extremely important. Unfortunately we don't teach our girls how to treat men, even though we constantly teach boys how to respect women, make them feel comfortable etc etc. This often leads to unhappiness in girls when they grow up.
