anyone who was legitimately from the lower orders
The thief Mundungus Fletcher surely qualifies.

A disproportionate percentage of Reddit powermods are trans, so of course dissent from trans-worship is not going to be welcome there.

The recent huge, unprecedented influx of low-intelligence Indians into Canada, IMO, plays a huge role in the spread of the "pajeet" stereotype.

Especially, it's trans people, or people with lots of trans relatives/friends, who are severely decompensating online and losing contact with reality (i.e., acting as if Trump's first act upon being inaugurated will be to round up all trans people and herd them into the gas chambers).

Aubrey de Grey is the guy who keeps saying that aging's defeat is just around the corner; does everyone just ignore him nowadays? Or just get pissed off at him for continually raising false hope?
(Or is he dead?)

And what about Ordovicia County?

There was some discussion also about her being an "entrepreneur"
Wouldn't that be entrepreneuse?

Maybe partly because it sounds like "wingnut".

Abortion is functionally the only issue that gains votes for democrats this cycle
There's also the scare tactic "Trump is a Fascist! Electing him will mean the end of democracy!" which has been everywhere on Reddit the past few days.

Terms that were popular only in small, socially ostracized circles of internet weirdos and incels are now mainstream.
I still have yet to see "Bayesian", "quokka", "defectbot", "epistemic status" or "toxoplasma" in the Washington Post. Heh.
Although not before causing sudden, massive and irreversible white flight in almost every jurisdiction where it has been used.
The Boston, MA public schools are less than 15% white now, as opposed to (IIRC) 80% in 1974 when busing began.
And Prince Georges County, MD: 79% white in 1971-72 school year, one year prior to busing.
3.9% white in 2021.

Brampton, ON? So far as I can tell, the place seems to be 100% Indian nowadays.

I'd rather rewind to 2016 and pit Sanders against Rand Paul. Whichever won, it would have been pretty interesting!

It seems that the US gets all the smart Indian immigrants, and the rank and file are inundating Canada and causing dire effects on the quality of life there.

IIRC, the FBI classifies most Hispanics as white, so there is no way to see the crime rate of (what most people think of as) white perpetrators except in the rapidly dwindling number of areas where Latinos are rare or absent.

There were schools and orphanages in Ireland within living memory that were worse, and nobody outside that country cares, because the victims weren't part of a "marginalized group."

Didn't it take something like a decade for the new Berlin airport to open after construction was completed?
What happened to Prussian efficiency?

Japanese emperors usually ended their reigns by abdication, because they had no real power, and their lives were circumscribed and boring, with endless religious ceremonies they had to perform.

Is there any way to find out when London had the lowest overall crime rate?
My WAG would be either the late thirties, when the worst of the poverty had been ameliorated, or the early fifties when the standard of living started to seriously rise after the end of rationing.

Pierre Berton's The Great Depression mentions someone who had his kids drink coffee because they couldn't afford milk.
Milk was more expensive than coffee?

It would upset too many applecarts, so without some kind of coup or revolution it definitely will never happen.
(Unfortunately, this country is just too big. Each member of the legislature should represent no more than 50,000 constituents, but that would require a House of Representatives with 6,600 members!)
Fairfax County (like the entire DC metro area) is deep blue. I haven't seen a single Trump sign this year, and dozens of Harris signs. Four years ago, I saw two houses in my neighborhood with Trump signs and I can't help but wonder whether those houses got egged on Halloween.
It's endlessly frustrating reading the Post and the local subreddits where it's treated as axiomatic that any opposition to unending Third World immigration is xenophobia which is almost as bad, in their worldview, as advocating the legalization of rape.
I always vote Libertarian no matter who their candidate is. I want no part of the bipartisan shitshow. I wish we had a Proportional Representation Single Transferable Vote system to allow a larger portion of the political spectrum to be represented in the legislature.
Though it's strongly implied that both Crabbe and Goyle generations are almost too dimwitted to use magic.
