I always assumed young master was specifically for preadolescent boys- in my dialect (mostly rural/old)people would call a teenaged boy Mr smith in a formal context. An unmarried adult man might be Mr John instead of Mr smith, though.

Very large expansion in specifically male earnings coupled with selective weakening of sexual norms and strong social pressure to marry at all costs.
This is the highest tfr of any self supporting stratum in an industrial society, ever. Modern high fertility minorities are at about the same TFR.

There are kids at burning man? Like not in the teenagers sense, but actual kids?
And I’m kinda surprised it doesn’t have a rape problem.

I mean, nude beaches full of grannies baring it all don’t cause problems in Europe, but they are a very different thing from a ‘midnight naked pool party’ with a ‘designated sex tent’.

I don’t know what ‘vibecamp’ is. Someone will tell me, Im sûre, and perhaps that will be my monthly reminder of the true meaning of ‘blissful ignorance’. But without knowing the context, skinny dipping is really just skinny dipping. As recently at the seventies it was seen as wholesome. It’s problematic in mixed company, and a ‘midnight nude pool party’ sounds like it’s probably a sex thing and not a Norman Rockwell painting.
A designated sex tent at a child friendly event just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen- and the existence of it is kinda weird, why don’t these people use their own space(tents, hotels, etc)?

Good question.
There’s certainly pockets of native high fertility in France. But the same is true for holland, Switzerland, etc, which do not have a fertility advantage, so it’s probably not just them- and there’s lots of immigrants in places like Sweden and holland as well.
France’s fertility mix looks similar to other parts of Western Europe- but it has final results in between red and blue states, rather than average for the continent. The precise demographic breakdown can’t be all high-TFR minorities(and France has a few that are native Europeans), because other countries without the TFR advantage have them too. So normie French Europeans have to have some fertility advantage compared to other parts of Europe- but it’s certainly less than, say, conservative Americans or even Afrikaners.

Scandinavia does all that(men are actually required to take parental leave).
The highest fertility rates in the EU remain France and Czechia- although outside the EU, the faroes and Georgia have them beat.

- Our society doesn't have a viable alternative to alcohol, so whiskey appreciation classes must be required to graduate from high school
- Issue multiple currencies and let the market decide whether they want the gold backed money, the fiat money, the commodity basket backed money, the crypto...
- Politicians(this includes senators or higher) can fire any bureaucrat they want- but it will be replaced by prison labor, randomly selected from federal inmates.
- Racism is caused by angry confederate ghosts and placating the war dead through gifts of tobacco, sweet tea, and barbecue can bring Americans together across racial lines.
- Soccer isn't popular enough in America. We're introducing tackling, and erecting goalposts above the goal to try to get a header through for double points.
- Every town holds an election for a single individual who has the power to forcibly remove tattoos on sight.
- States have the option of opting out entirely from federal income taxes- on the condition that they make up the lost revenue in whole.
- Cabinet selected randomly by the selective service system.

Even before that, Monaghan cashed out to found Ave Maria. Plenty of billionaires embark on intellectual patronage.

Or Anthropic just doesn't want to do with the obvious thing(which is, and has always been, to give the pentagon what it wants and then send it a bill), and no amount of political grounds will convince them to do so.

I didn't say I liked it. I said it's the actual demand.

There are creatures that routinely and prettily kill porcupines- leopards and cougars. Tigers and brown bears are the ones that get messed up by preying on them.

Is it? Ukraine is as poor as India, with far worse demographics, and it's also a bombed out wreck at the moment.

though we need some way to exclude middle class HELOCs
Only apply it above a given net worth that even very lucky and geographically well situated middle class people will not reach.
Go run for office.
I would consider it- I'd make a good crank candidate- but I suspect the background checking would result in this very forum shutting down, and besides, it's incredibly expensive.

A tax that could be implemented without actually destroying much value is requiring sufficiently large companies to employ worthies in well-paying sinecures. That is, presumably, the actual demand when you boil it down; much of the left side of the spectrum's representation is about how unfair it is that their degrees in fan fiction from a communist's ass don't automatically result in a high standard of living. Of course, that doesn't mean the median leftist believes this; most presumably are not the twitterati socialists who believe they should have a comfortably above median standard of living without doing any actual work, on the strength of their ideological purity(mostly expressed through degree-having). But the twitterati socialists are the representation to the public, and their enoblement would calm the rest of the leftists because they would no longer have an amplifier to their concerns.

The Siege of Krishnapur. I couldn’t get through Blood Meridian because it used retarded, over the top violence in lieu of plot or developed characters, albeit the prose was sheer artistry on display to almost make it readable.

The USA world cup match was also absolutely full of celebrities chanting 'USA! USA! USA!' after every goal(well, except for Paraguay's single goal). Sports brought America together that night; libtard celebrities were chanting with Marco Rubio and jeering the ref when he made pro-paraguay decisions. The rich and famous seemed less like an alien race and more like a bunch of regular guys living unusual lives.

It's not that weird for committed shitlibs. Union plumbers are ultramaga republicans.
Granted we don't have a lot of people on the motte that want to clear out all the magats on the grounds that if they can do it we can do without it. But the bluesky crowd being horrified at the politics of the experts at keeping their lights on and their water running is a semi-regular occurrence.

Gypsies definitely present themselves a certain way, and that is key to being a gypsy.

Score one against the hypothesis that the male tilt of migration is why people hate it.
I’m not sure what either side of the culture war would do that’s worse than an actual totalitarian state with no property rights and internal passports.
