The Latin Mass growth post 2005 was not primarily driven by online spaces, it was driven by changes in canon law and existing IRL networks which later had a large online component mostly by tapping into the backlash to pope Francis and later to demand for covid-unconcerned Catholic networks. I was there for much of this and the incorporation of the online component was hugely controversial.

Hickman doesn't get along well with other tradcaths because his philosophical positions, uh, don't come off well, and tradcaths are used to frighteningly extreme entryists no one wants to be around. He could move to St Mary's(the SSPX's quarantine village for their in house crazies). Hickman wants his particular going your own way thing, but he's not going to find a community built around it except maybe the Amish.

FtM or MtF transgenderism? These are meaningfully different things.

It’s called north woods or north haven or something. It was a client of a company I worked for a while back and one of the reasons I was assigned to their campus was because customers could see white people if they needed service while they were open. I was told by my supervisor that they didn’t allow nonwhites to join or women to join on their own.
The longshoreman’s Union may not technically have a ‘whites only’ policy, but it definitely engages in some discrimination to maintain an all-white workforce.

College football is crowding out NFL fandom in every social circle I participate in. MMA and boxing are still reasonably popular among coworkers(with a very sharp income gradient; thé more money you make, thé more you like boxing- and like most trades workplaces, there’s a large pay difference between entry level guys and experienced ones). Hardcore sports fans around me are getting into MLS, keeping college ball, and dropping basketball entirely(this may vary by region). Texas A&M is the new cowboys as the default fandom.
Don’t get me wrong; I see evidence of cowboys fandom everywhere I go, as a generic corporate thing. But more ‘fandom’ tends to be for college sports.

They literally exist. Many fraternities and unions are this in practice, a few country clubs maintain it as explicit policy, and of course there’s the hells angels.

NFL players have a decent-ish IQ proxy on file and their intelligence varies by position quite a bit; QB’s mostly would be honor roll students if they’d studied(QB’s, of course, are expected to study football, not academic subjects), D-linemen would… not.

Really? Fraternities have been in the news again.
Social outcry is not the same thing as a legal barrier. In my metroplex one of the more prominent country clubs still requires that every member family be headed by a white male. Unions often have similar policies.

Technically, aren't most of these groups private clubs, who can be as discriminatory as they like? You can have your white men’s club just as much as you want(although dues are likely well beyond your price range).

I’m certainly of thé impression that was true for the IRA- but Ian paisley was one of the more important unionist figures, wasn’t he?

Yeah, we… don’t have those.

Something about French redditors being upset about videogame stores being terribly affected.

He's not saying it's acceptable. He's saying it isn't rape. There are many bad non-rape things.

I would guess, given the demographics of both gamers and rioters, that video game stores are disproportionately looted.

There's probably tons of vets that really want to work with exotic animals on a zoo staff, not so many jobs to go around- this is the usual pattern for such things- the majority of vets being women working on designer dogs is because owners of designer dogs have money to spend.

Since women are equal to men, the notion they're "too re-traumatized" is special pleading.
They are not equal in this sense. Women are in general much weaker and lower in fortitude than men.

Watermelon is an african-american stereotype, but I think in context it means 'commies deep down'.

Uh, wasn't the main protestant church involved the wee frees, who are not headed by the british monarchy?

'Paranoid'? Jean-Luc Melenchon is just openly cheering it on.

Cajun French is generally easier to understand for metropolitan French speakers than Quebecois, because Cajun, like most creole languages, uses no inflections(yes, some inflections are written, but they are in the half of the French word which isn't pronounced). However, almost no one under seventy speaks it. Cajuns are, at this point, basically just Catholic harder-drinking rednecks with better food, and follow the usual patterns of redneck populations elsewhere in the country culturally- a huge wigger underclass occupying itself with drug use and a mostly country dixie upper 2/3 outmigrating to sun belt metroplexes. Acadiana itself is a depressing place with high crime rates, high average ages, horribly intractable poverty, and where substance abuse is the norm.
There is a fairly small elite group that is meaningfully more 'French/Cajun', but it's a tiny elite clique that has largely abdicated its responsibility to govern(in fairness, under substantial pressure to do so).

My assumption is that cattle are what pay the bills, and mostly-horse practice is relatively rare.

'Hot drug fueled gangbang' is unlikely to be something women value sufficiently to distinguish clearly from rape.
The boys and girls boy scout troops are totally segregated by boy scout policy... for exactly that reason.
