The U.S. Green Party would like a word- it swings back and forth between generic retard left and nutty woo woo granola conspiracy theorists.

Unlike Israël, apartheid SA’s citizen body wasn’t 20% black.

But Ashkenazim are not a majority, or indeed plurality, of Israeli Jews.

The US invaded Afghanistan because we had to do something over 9/11 and stayed there due to inertia. We invaded Iraq for oil and it was actually a strategic victory. The Syrian and Libyan interventions were Obama trying to spread liberalism.

Israeli Arabs do have equal rights under the law. Palestinians are not lawful residents of Israël.

It’s due to the nature of social progress and western responses. De Maistre defined how the revolution would be defeated 200 years ago; not through a revolution against, the Orleanist solution that failed not only in France but with Franco’s shogunate and which is at least unsuccessful in Iran, but through the opposite of a revolution, adaptatory and distributed change which coalesces into its own antithesis in a reverse dialectic, gradually restoring the civilization of the west.
The western right by and large does not realize this, and does not realize how to do this; this despite the distributists completing the system of de Maistre’s counter-revolution in an inculturated form nearly a century ago. In east Asia, things are different, as the embedded Confucianism of these societies naturally generates its own antithesis to revolution, resultant in the dialectic restoring their tradition passively. But we’re talking about the west, here, where Confucius is a strange foreign import of made up wisdom to sell fortune cookies. Things are different, and that’s ok.
What can you do? You can join real traditional communities and contribute to rebuilding functional villages which, by their very nature, will seek to confederate, turning into a standardization feedback loop that rebuilds a healthy society over the centuries. Quick and cheap doesn’t work; neither right wing Leninist vanguard parties nor neo-orleanism can push the process through, although political accommodationism to this societal rebuilding is probably a good thing.

Minor correction- thé highly religious have a replacement birth rate. Secular conservatives have near replacement.
Red tribe spaces like bass pro shop are full of kids. Parents of young children are like R+20. A crude correlate between birthrate and county vote share gives counties above 80% Republican as the threshold for replacement. There are two large American cohorts that are mostly replacing themselves- republicans and Hispanics.
White liberals, on the other hand, have a birthrate like Asians do.

It’s not a horror to be expected to take drugs as part of social participation. What did you think alcohol was?

Why not both/and?
The younger generations have pretty strong failure to launch issues. Those issues are male tilted and the women who do NEET it up may not be at the top of the market, but a woman’s unemployment is just less important to the dating market. That (many)men need to get good is just factually true.
On the other hand social media trends seem to drive ridiculous expectations. That is also true.

Mail order brides are an established thing, you can just reach out to the agencies that specialize in facilitating this if you specifically want a Chinawoman.

So JD Vance is thé go between for the world’s top bad faith negotiators?
The actual conditions don’t mean anything; eventually there will be a cease fire where Iran opens the straights and cuts off a single one of its many foreign proxies in exchange for sanctions relief. But there’s a complicated dance of bad faith negotiations to preserve fiqh.

There are smartphones specifically for kids. This is a major topic of discussion among parents.

The article may be badly written because of second language errors. That certainly seems like a contributing factor to what I read.
As far as the Chinese dating market, it obviously sucks, because there’s more men than women. Ideally you want slightly more women than men, so that every reasonably eligible man pairs off, women don’t feel so overwhelmed with male attention that they resort to third wave feminism(and third wave feminism is, by and large, a reaction to the perception of male sexual threat. This perception might be illusory but that’s what’s driving it- and this is why feminism spends so much time talking up sexual harassment), etc. Add in that this is a country which doesn’t have a history of dating/courting like in the west, so they’re trying to figure this out from first principles.

The red Chinese were lying, this is something they’re known to do and the cruise ship data is known, reliable, and confirmed.

In practice, this is going to look like parents needing to sign off on their kids' accounts. Youtube wants kids viewing some stuff, most parents want their kids watching some youtube, kids want to watch youtube, etc. What seems to be the actual demand is that youtube and meta cooperate in parental controls ad infinitum.

Right, why couldn’t they just have expanded their trial?

So if you see your freshly 18-year-old daughter reaching towards the high-quality webcam and setting up an Amazon wishlist, especially if you notice a skeevy dude with tattoos and a pornstache whispering in her ear, you might feel some obligation to snatch her metaphorical hand away before she takes a step that is likely to diminish her quality of life in ways she can't easily predict.
But is that the role of the state? It's the role of her parents, sure. But the state and the parents are different creatures with different relationships to the individual.

Yes, if we sealed everyone in their own pharoah's tomb the virus would die out pretty quickly. Not least because everybody would die, mostly from other things. We kinda need other people to live. The question is 'can we stop viral spread at a level that's realistic to maintain', to which the answer is 'no'.

What was stopping a pharma company from declaring their vaccine open to the public, as long as you signed up for their trial*?
*requires a deposit equal to the retail price of the vaccine

Far less damaging, and probably more effective, than lockdowns.

Perhaps you lot should have thought about that before deciding to shut the world down over a virus that was dangerous enough to cancel normal life but not dangerous enough to release a vaccine before it was politically opportune.

Covid was built on a lie. We knew the hysteria was overblown not in mid 2020, but in March, before the first lockdowns in the western world, with the Diamond Princess. We knew it posed no danger to young, healthy people. We knew it was less contagious than commonly claimed. And the establishment just went and lied, lied, lied to push an agenda.
Charles Fourier wasn’t technically a communist, he was a different, unrelated branch of utopian socialist.
Communism as a technical term refers to the end state of history predicted by Marx. This end state doesn’t happen to exist, ofc, but there is a reason that the Soviet Union did not claim to be a communist regime. Thé Leninist idea was a departure from orthodox Marxism(which held that this end state will just happen after a series of events that were falsified in the Victorian era- more of a prophecy than a policy plan) in that it held socialism could be directed into a communist society- this of course didn't happen, because communist societies are, it bears repeating, not real, but still, thé idea was to reach a wild eyed utopian project even if for the time being quite a number of concessions need to be made to practicality.
