This Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise ship sure smells like Bill Gates again. Same billionaire, same pattern. Always positioned with the next ‘solution’. Who else is smelling it? MAHA

Tämän kuvaajan eteen on hyvä pysähtyä. Lisäksi kannattaa huomata, että edes ne "hyvätuloiset" 5ke liksaa vetävät eivät nettona pääse kuin ~500€/kk paremmalle eläke-elintasolle kuin ne, jotka ovat viettäneet vapaa-aikaa joka päivä koko aikuisikänsä.

Suomalainen alistaa suomen kielen englantia pienemmäksi. Kukaan muu ei tee sitä. Meillä ongelma ei ole, että ”englanti tulee ja syö kaiken” vaan että suomalainen syrjii suomen englannin eduksi.

"White culture" as I've defined it is actually very specific if you take just a moment to think about it, but again, because it is the water people are swimming in they can't often see it, so for example, to be specific: The history of the Western legal tradition going back to Athens as ordered reason rather than mere might, to the moral laws of the Ten Commandments, to Augustinian Natural Law, the Magna Carta, English Common Law, Westphalian international law, Constitutionalism––fill this in with your own key milestones––is just a much different legal, normative, and philosophical lineage than for example Chinese Law with its basis in Confucianism, and this all gets encoded into our society in different ways that manifest in how we negotiate contracts, as just one small example, and why doing a deal with a Chinese businessman is different than doing a deal with an American one (which everyone ofc acknowledges are real and meaningful differences), and a million other things beside. We could also do this for religion and the obvious fact that Christian societies are going to have different values and moral restraints than Buddhist ones, and how those differences are embedded in what we think of as right and good and spiritually required of us versus what is morally negotiable, like our attitudes toward death, or guilt, or our commitments to our neighbors or how we treat animals or our commitments to our wives and children, and so on. It manifests in the subtle ways we think about concepts like liberty, and local self-governance, and the virtue of work, and how disputes are resolved, and how reputation is formed and on what basis, and how wealth is treated, and notions of hierarchy. In Albion's Seed, Fisher identifies like 30 categories of cultural practices that are all distinct to the four different sub-groups that made up America's founding stock, including things like "Magic ways," and "Age Ways," and "Sex Ways," that all get mixed up and bound together and are still readily prevalent like in America's unique attitude towards guns and love of cars. There's also just the fun superficial stuff you find parodied in places like "Stuff White People Like," which are maybe frivolous but nonetheless point at deep and profound attitudes and preferences, like white people really liking "camping," or "Blink 182," or "microbreweries," or "having black friends." You can actually identify all of this stuff and there are mountains of sociological research to testify to these differences and it's plainly obvious to anyone who *wants* to understand, but instead people get tripped up by the word "white" being used non-ironically or non-derisively and just as the famous tweet goes, "pretend not to understand."
