@RealDianeYap Vanishingly few in the Right want to deport citizens.
The voting question is "do I care more about brining more of my ethnicity here or maximizing welfare in the country I just pledged loyalty to?"

I’m often asked why Asians, especially Asian women, tend to be liberal. If I had to guess I’d say it’s a lesser of two evils thing.
“Sure, the left is bad on crime, but the right keeps saying I eat cats and should be deported and they want to take away my right to vote.”

@ArtemisConsort This stuff always makes me think false flag, but the real answer is probably engagement bait.
More outlandish = more followers and to hell with furthering any of the causes they claim to support.
English
This is so annoying. We have a winning argument about anti-White discrimination and (potentially) genocidal anti-White ideology pushed by major institutions. It exists, it’s pervasive, it’s bad, and it’s unpopular. But some weirdos made the absolutely indefensible claim that White men in America are the most oppressed group in history, and now we’re all talking about that instead. I am begging you all to be serious. Communicate in a way that’s likely to achieve your goals. Build coalitions. Do something other than jerking yourself off with how contrarian you’re willing to be.
Mass deportations are happening. Repealing Hart-Celler is in the Overton window. Crushing major institutions for anti-White discrimination is in the Overton window. That will get all of us at least 90% of what we want if we can maintain the momentum to see it through. Focus on that.

@DisaffectedPod The reason this debate is going on is that prominent people are openly saying that white executives, etc today ARE more oppressed than US Black...and Irish, etc...historical slaves.

@texual @upstatefederlst Matching into residency considers some objective metrics, but it's mostly a subjective process.
Heads of residency can absolutely pick favored ethnicities or - almost always - hot chicks.

@upstatefederlst But if he’s outmatched…
Do you want the best radiologist or the white male just because reasons?
It’s all semantics till your life or your loved ones are. You’ll take the best doctor and they’re definitely many who aren’t American born.

The US is suffering brain drain to Europe and Asia because nobody wants to live in a country like this. Even if you were ambivalent, who would want to raise children in the US? In a world where you can get a passport and move, why would you raise your child to be a slave here?

@ArtemisConsort This isn't a Chesterton's fence scenario. We know why previous generations restricted the vote. We know why more recent generations removed said restrictions.
You may still think universal suffrage a mistake but the arguments have always been out there.

“we must think like our ancestors and ask ourselves this most critical question: why did they restrict voting rights? What did they know that we don’t know?”
Promising new account.
American Philosophy@AmerPhilo2025
"Allowing virtually every citizen to vote has been a catastrophic disaster for the United States. We have allowed illiterate, uneducated citizens to hold hostage the world’s largest economy, most powerful military, and a robust intellectual culture. It has decimated the concept of civitas and allowed powerful actors with bad intentions to influence those who cannot think for themselves. To restore the United States, we must seriously consider ending universal suffrage." Read more below.

@moultano Hard to overstate how much this undermines any effort you’re making to establish yourself as an observant and knowledgeable person that others should follow.
2% of all shoes sold in the US are leather soled, per Google Gemini. You have literally seen millions of them.
English
It is so bizarre seeing all the comments that "nice shoes" don't have rubber soles. I don't think I've ever seen a shoe without a rubber sole, and in California "nice shoes" means "close toed."
constans@constans
Apparently this is because redditors have one paid of “nice shoes” they keep in the back of their closet that they wear once every few years, and rubber soles degrade and fall apart if they’re not worn.

@Empty_America I can't fathom how so many people who would likely score pretty well on an IQ test assert that either everything has gotten better or everything has gotten worse.
I am on team life-is-net-worse but I'll cheerfully admit that genuine improvements are too many to count.
English
There have been some improvements:
-much easier to make money outside of employment.
- stuff like kid's shoes, milk, blue jeans much cheaper
- serviceable tools are much cheaper at Harbor Freight
- hunting/fishing/general environment better.
- food is a lot better
- Medical is FAR better
- depending on State, in-state college can be cheaper.
- A lot of central cities are much safer to visit.
- depending on State, minimum wage is way higher.
- used books are super cheap and easy to order.

@dilanesper We have no reason to think they didn’t detect the box cutters.
No one had banned taking box cutters onto flights.
Blades under 4 inches were allowed.
English
Everyone had private airport security before 9/11. We federalized it because the private guys didn't detect the box cutters used by the hijackers. We are now seeing that we are too immature in our budget process to have government security at airports.

@HamptonPrezcott Oddly I was chatting w/ Grok about parking lot costs today so I can put some numbers on it.
Best study we have found that underground parking typically runs 20k more per spot than parking deck: 52k above to 73k under.
But that was from 2020, so probably 30k per spot now.
English
Requiring sub-grade parking would be very unpopular with merchant builders, but it would do wonders towards building long term value growth in many of these neighborhoods.

I know I’m tweeting this into the abyss here, but I feel like if developers spent a little more money on their street level appearance they would attract better commercial tenants, customers, and renters.

@lymanstoneky @Ancestry I suspect it would make zero financial sense unless the costs approached zero.
Normies might find it amusing to know how much Neanderthal they had in them, but there are very gene nerds like you who want to know their percentage of western hunter gatherer (or whatever).

@Resurrec_Ted @FischerKing64 No. GAAP framework bans laughable fictions, like payroll taxes being different than income taxes, like the ability of one part of a single org (SSA) to lend to the rest of that organization or that this lending creates any repayment obligation.
Surplus happened.
English
90s budget was never actually balanced in a GAAP framework that any corporation would have to use. The "surplus" was merely collection of social security revenue in excess of payouts because it reflected boomer peak earning years and preceded their retirements.
The issues with the entitlement state and the Ponzi nature of these geriatric welfare programs was known even then. The actuarial forecasts in the late 90s were still quite grim.
English
And to think there was a brief window in the late 90s when it looked like we had this under control, were running surpluses. Then we had 9/11, the "global war on terror," and we cut taxes and increased entitlement spending all at the same time. GW Bush was a terrible POTUS.

Worded that way, it's a reasonable argument. I apologize for assuming your first comment was pure snark and for responding in kind.
And I'd agree that's probably some of it, though I'd also point out that, but for us all interacting online now, Euros would be blissfully unaware of MAGA sentiment and both sides would be unable to keep upping the insults and the ill will.
English
@OftCorrect @malmesburyman It is actually. MAGA is a hive mind and an attack on Europe by the administration calls for an attack on Europe by all the drones who also can’t think for themselves. Greenland was the best, most utterly pathetic example.
English
Americans were more tolerant of European arrogance when the continent had a reputation for cultured sophistication and industrial capability. Any American who remembers the Europe of 20+ years ago has observed the stark decline.
And it’s not just because of migrants crowding around the Eiffel Tower. German cars are crap now. Luxury clothing is made with thinner fabrics & the styling is plebeian. French wine is overpriced relative to its quality. There’s no new high art or really any new major cultural or intellectual production coming out of Europe, and the popular culture is not just Americanized, it’s increasingly Africanized. Meanwhile activists are vandalizing art museums and Crown Jewels are being stolen from the Louvre by subsaharans. And all of this is happening as European governments buy energy from Russia while asking America to fund a proxy war against Russia.
And yet we hear from European leaders and media the same tones of arrogance and moral superiority as we did back in 2003. The result of all this is that now rather than evoking feelings of annoyance and even a touch of embarrassment, because of the admiration Americans had toward European culture, Americans are now feeling a growing disrespect and even a certain contempt for Europe. It’s not a healthy dynamic, and I’m not at all praising it, but it is born out of European decline and the mismatch in self-estimation Americans are observing between European attitudes and European reality.
eugyppius@eugyppius1
MAGA accounts on here routinely express more hatred, rejection, and vilification of Europeans than they do of their country’s genuine geopolitical rivals and enemies. It’s amazing but true.
English
@WhiteShip7m @malmesburyman Seems an unlikely reason for MAGA accounts to routinely vilify Europe.
English
@OftCorrect @malmesburyman It might also be because you threatened to invade Greenland and placed asymmetric tariffs on us for virtually no reason at all.

@PositivFuturist I'm sorry, did you just actually write a post asserting that you're smart enough to know the future of bond prices, energy production and AI - 3 immensely complex things - but not smart enough to figure out the easy steps to translate that knowledge into immense wealth?
English
@Austen Corporate wealth is irrelevant to proper spend. ROI alone should drive the decision.
Hell, it's far more important for money-losing companies that employees spend any dollar that returns >$1.

This is good advice if you’re making $3 million net profit per employee like NVDA is

@Empty_America The OP interpretation of the data, and yours – that women didn't used to prefer tall men so much - isn't the only consistent one.
Perhaps the tall men then, as now, didn't get married and reproduce b/c their height let them get too many women to settle for one.
English
Until very recently, there was a sort of stigma attached to excessive height.
"Tall guys" were often dorky, uncoordinated, bad posture, skinny, etc.
Even in the 90s, most guys over 6'1" were not "cool" at all.
nativistconcern@nativistconcern
In the 1950s, 5ft8 men had more initial marriage success and reproductive success than 6ft2 men. That's not to say they were more attractive, but society functioned. Female mate selection is now largely about impressing other women, looking good in internet photos and chasing media created fantasies. These evo-psych professionals have every justification for women making our species extinct but never mention the real social and psychological dynamics.

@RGuilliman40k @bryan_caplan What schools give you a year's credit for 4s or any credit whatever for 3s?
English
@bryan_caplan In my own experience, this is true of the arts but absolutely false for the sciences. Watched plenty of AP chem & physics students who scored 3 - 4s get their asses handed too them in orgo or physics II after thinking they had the pre-reqs down through AP credits.
English
APs are getting easier, but they are still highly meritocratic compared to not just high school grades but college grades.
Most students who get an A in a college class would be lucky to get a 3 on the corresponding AP.
Michael Torres@MindofTorres
This is what grade inflation looks like. AP exams suddenly became easier. So when your local school, district, or state touts record AP participation and passage rates ... now you know why. Source: fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…
