Ashkenazim are a minority in Israël, and are outperformed by the local Arab Christians(who also probably have high average IQ).

Islamic cousin marriage tends to be much more systematic than cousin marriage outside Islam.

Islamic genetic potential tends to be worse than for their Christian neighbors, though. Often because Muslims marry their cousins at crazy high rates.

Religion seems largely stabilized by generational cohort overall in the US- but plenty of churches are still dying. Gen Z isn’t any less religious than millennials, but they’re both less religious than their silent gen great grandparents. As older people die off congregations shrink, but they’re stabilizing at a lower level.
Theres also denominational shuffling, where some groups gain at the expense of others.
Btw theres not really a good way to get actual church attendance rates- surveys are biased upwards and cell phone tracking is biased downwards(phones ping more often when people are on them). Internal records from churches are probably pretty close to accurate but can only tell you absolute numbers, not rates.

Not disputing far left males being disproportionately likely to be sexual predators, but weren't women actually underrepresented on the political left until the eighties at the earliest?

Work as an HVAC tech is literally always available, even with a DUI I could just work internally at a datacenter or hospital(so no company vehicle), albeit with much worse hours. If I get maimed and don't get a payout from it I'd have to get my contractor's license and work for a sketchy company holding insurance at a slight pay cut. The process takes about six to eight weeks of study and costs $1500 in books and seminars, but just having the license isn't a big enough economic advantage to justify it unless you're crippled or trying to start a business. I won't defend it, but it's hardly the worst example of regulatory distortion that exists(it's one moderately highly paid manager per company branch location- most white collar firms are way worse).
Non-driving related legal trouble would just mean working for a crappier company once done with the actual legal penalties. A collapsed business just means you declare bankruptcy and go to work for someone else again('I'm a good tech but I didn't know how to run a business' is a common enough story that everyone will accept it). There might be work life balance compromises, or much smaller pay compromises, but if worst comes to worst(unfixable drug addiction or something) there will still be a job there- even if it's a hotside restaurant equipment focused job(all those guys are alcoholic drug users behind on their child support anyways, and most of them got into it by being HVAC techs).

Don't they replace finals with essays as often as they can get away with?

Probably because zionism is more difficult to have a debate about. You can destroy trans narratives with facts and logic pretty easily; zionism is not based on that.

Am I the only one who thinks 80% as many arrests for speech crimes as there are for robbery is less than ideal?

The tomb of Jesus has been known for well over a thousand years.
Not relevant to your broader point, but you can literally go visit the tomb of Jesus. There's a church there; the Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Armenian Orthodox are forced to split it by the civil authorities in Israel(and before that were forced to split it by the Ottoman authorities). Ditto for the manger; Catholics get the midnight service on Christmas(in Latin).

Can't speak for Levin, but if some personal skepticism of zionism was a brightline for Shapiro he wouldn't have hired so many trad Catholics to work for him. Granted, not the crazy antisemitic schizo ones, but still, by all appearances Shapiro is more invested in social conservatism than Israel.

Probably not, but there's been some high profile clips of him acting in very, uh, non-het ways with other men.

Americans do not want to end at will employment because they quite reasonably think it will make it harder to get hired.

This could have been an interesting post with more effort.
Fuentes is almost certainly a closeted homosexual, who like many closeted homosexuals strongly disliked women. This likely somewhat informs his misogyny.

I am essentially indifferent to who controls the Donbass, yes, although I have some sympathies for Galicians. Russia isn't going to conquer Galicia and even the Russians know that.

The extremely poor performance of the Russian army for the first couple of months, basically.

The balance of evidence suggests that Fuentes is a closeted active homosexual. He has been warned by his bishop and is likely to be subject to church discipline in the medium term future due to his political activities.

Technically speaking, all Jews are Israeli citizens, no? It's kinda meaningless when you haven't gotten an Israeli passport, but it's a handy piece of antisemitic rhetoric.
It's worth noting this isn't unique to Jews; a surprisingly high percentage of native born Americans are technically citizens of a foreign country(I would imagine Italy is slightly ahead of Israel here) through descent.

Sure, but the different non white groups may not like whites, but they hate each other. The blacks meeting an indian(or oriental, but that's a lot less likely) boss will beg for the klan to come be in charge again. The Hispanics often won't accept a black manager. Etc, etc.

I mean I'm given to understand that tattooing 'I am evil' on your face is pretty specific to el salvadorean gangs and so it's a lot harder to replicate that strategy elsewhere.

That's implausible because the two red lines for the feds are... extremely conservative attitudes towards women and antisemitism. Nick is, as far as I can tell, completely genuine- he's an antisemite, closeted homosexual, simply doesn't have the same concern about Hispanic immigration as the far far right(which is often hung up on stupidity like deporting a third of the country anyway).

I mean, personally, I want Russia to get a major victory soon so the war ends. I supported Ukraine in early 22, when it looked like Ukraine might be able to win. I think you're missing this large segment of the population that just wants the war to end and doesn't care about eastern european ethnic politics in your 'pro-Russian' steelman.

In the current American market, yes, but fattened meat has often been more expensive in history.

Processed food(here used broadly to include things like bread as well as sodas and lean cuisine) and beef are a majority of most Americans' grocery bills, and those things are much more expensive regardless of the cost of staples like potatoes and milk.
I would've assumed Canada without the clarification.
