I mean in the trades you definitely don't have to pretend you'd keep working if you won the lottery, so that part checks out.

Ok, but this is obviously idealization of trans people by themselves, right? What's their view of themselves as nonfiction? What are the shibboleths of the subculture?

I mean, better looking, more money for fewer hours(and motte posters underestimate the latter part), better behaved, cuter children(the median Hispanic/white pairing produces white-looking children)... all kinda part of the complex. The stereotype that Hispanic men are alcoholics who think it's OK to beat and cheat on their wives because they earn a slightly higher percentage of household income by holding three jobs instead of two is also the opinion of many in the Hispanic community.

People, by revealed preference, seem to like living in the northern Rockies. But even neighboring North Carolina is a very pleasant GOP run state.

At a certain point, republicans embracing(fully embracing) gibs and machine politics is inevitable. These policies lose because they're tied to the losing side of 80-20 issues about the police, race, gender, etc. But we're past the point when republicans will inevitably embrace handouts and try to win over political machines. They're already starting on the process and this stuff is just too popular when you've already lost a huge chunk of the donor class.

But the motte is still, last I checked, majority atheist/agnostic, Turok was upset that he was required to not flamebait pro-lifers. The motte sometimes discusses the metaphysics of Christianity but rarely takes a Christian frame particularly seriously. ‘God says so’ is not treated as an argument here. Turok was upset that ‘you believe in a sky fairy’ as an argument against pro-lifers who had only made secular arguments thus far wasn’t either.

I mean the question is ‘do you want to join the church or not?’. There’s not really an in between here; you can’t have it both ways.
If you want to join the church then you should get to know your fellow parishioners(I’m not familiar with the dynamics of parishes in the UK, but in the USA my recommendation would be a parish-associated men’s group that meets in evenings, they’re usually fairly normie tier based and have a decent representation of all ages over 21- not all retirees), read a gospel all the way through, and have a routine of personal prayer while you work on weekly attendance. You’ll find it easier. If you don’t, then I’m not sure why you’re bothering?

It’s not actually incredibly liberal relative to demographics, it’s full of secular urban northern euros.

Why would it? Is there any reason to believe trans are more subject to crime than average?

I am willing to believe this, but trans types seem to have stereotypes about themselves- theres clearly a subculture there. Is there anyone who feels like writing up what the ‘trans normie’ is like?

More specifically domestic violence is a known problem in Hispanic cultures(which I was unaware of being a significant enough presence in Ireland to need a specific address towards). If you're wondering why close to half of US Latinas marry white men, this is the reason(well, one of the bigger ones).

Ah, I misread that as 'right-identitarian' and was wondering what you were up in arms about. My mistake.

The real lesson, as always, is 'coordination problems are hard'. The son of the local feudal lord, in that case, was kept in line by economic dependence on the family patriarch(he didn't own anything), who just had to pick a stool pigeon smart enough not to bite the hand that feeds(that is, to never disobey, ever, for personal gain) and treat them well. The Orthodox Jews believe they have a divine commandment to obey their rebbe. Albanians stab each other in the back all the time, but they keep the drama in-community- informing on their shady dealings is the one sin that gets you cut off. The mafia enforces their no-defection policy lethally.
I suspect your slumlord kinfolk lack the ruthlessness of the albanians and mafiosi, and the central coordination point of the feudal lord, and the genuine belief of the Jews.

Indeed, this welfare fraud scheme is funding both sides of the Somali civil war in question.

…Thé religion.
I don’t post about it to the motte, because this is an argument forum, and I would flame people replying to my posts with blasphemy. But I am religious for the religion. Having a natural fertility bubble is nice, Jesus is better.

I mean to be clear, zoning regulations are almost universally the way they are because people don’t pay attention to them. That’s true both in low-zoning regulation cities like Houston and high-zoning regulation cities.

I believe the Boy Scouts require their troops to be single sex, for obvious reasons relating to liability and chaperoning policies.

I have literally never heard of a female groyper. Antisemitic women like Candace owens instead.

In practice, that would just gum up the housing market and prices would ossify at a high level, because noone wants to take a loss.

You need a higher credit score and a bigger down payment to qualify for one.
I've met both. Neither of them were people who had any chance of being popular but they exist.
