but only if the claim is proven false, which I suspect is practically never
lol, lmao even. The "victims" in this case tend to leave evidence that they didn't believe it was rape until it was a convenient cudgel to wield, as in the Cornell case, or leave evidence of active collusion, as in the Ghomeshi case (the aftermath was to make that evidence much more difficult to use, by the way- it embarrassed the privileged).
Every rape case that makes it to national media is false.
because who's defending someone who would actually rape?
Half the country defended a child-killer simply because she was a woman, including 11/12ths of the jury on that case. This is just a proxy for "who's defending someone who is male?", and the answer is, well, apparently nobody.
not to mention the woman must be careful for her own safety
She has the privilege of tens of millions of simps; why should she be careful? Even the notion that she should be careful is offensive, and you don't even believe that anyway [why would someone want to put themselves in harm's way to "entrap potential rapists with real evidence"?].

So this isn’t just a female accusation
Yes it is, because the claim isn't "punish the drug dealers", it's "punish men for the crime of being most likely to be drug dealers".
Revealed preferences are that women don't actually care about the 100k+ fent deaths (most of which are men, by the way- this would be "hideous femicide" if it was, of course); this is just that "no I'm not Christian, so this argument won't work on me" meme.

Executing drug dealers on the spot is an unmitigated good for society.
Only if the gender breakdown of drug dealers is 50/50. I'm in favor of affirmative action for anti-social behavior preferred by each gender here because the alternative to doing that is "ban all male spaces, any attempt at reducing rape is an unmitigated good for society".
So no, I'm actually not in favor of executing additional drug dealers. Fix the slander problem- which is as destructive to my society as your drugs are to yours- and only then will I permit you to destroy the drug dealers.

I am 100% in favor of executing these drug dealers. Also 100% in favor of executing anyone selling fentanyl as it’s really bad stuff.
I am only in favor of this if at the same time we execute those who falsely claim rape.
Female anti-social behavior is just as destructive and socially corrosive as male anti-social behavior; you are posting about the results of that now, yet are still only willing to punish stereotypically-male bad behavior.
The reason sex-segregated spaces work is because most men are psychologically/evolutionarily incapable of holding women to the same standards: removing themselves (and forming a mirror image, though not a copy, of a sorority) is simply the lowest-effort, highest-return strategy.
And it's fine to criticize the lowest-effort for being lowest-effort (and indeed, early 20th century boarding schools are famous for being lowest-effort), but when the average human being isn't capable of constructive criticism... well, that's the ur-justification for censorship, isn't it?

If Employers are behaving poorly towards workers on campus, then the proper target for unionist lobbying is other workers on campus. Convince workers not to go work at those employers. This would change the behaviors of those employers instantly and completely. That the
CommunistsUnionists can't or won't do this indicates either that they're lying, that they don't represent all workers, or that they're stupid. It's probably all three.
Sororities are (quite literally) a union of women, so their actions are identical to what we see from other unions.

And a weak Europe more generally. Their neutral nations haven't fared any better, though.
If there are HBD implications of killing everyone who cared enough about the country to commit ritual suicide by Maxim go to war to defend it, it should be visible here. (And the other half that were smart enough to stay home proceeded to emigrate to the US for the same reasons Ukrainian women left at the start of the war.)

I'm confused by those who can't see that.
Probably the people being packed off to die by a nation that is wholly incapable of offering them a viable future even if they win. I'm familiar with the WW1 literature that explains this in great detail.
I don't give a damn about "how the people of that nation voted" for that reason; you rule well, and the treasure's good enough, maybe I'll consider it. If you bring war to my door without those things...

In fairness I was going to add that- the old have a lot to do with why the academic-managerial complex is dominant in the first place, with outdated cultural outlooks that were harmful back then too.
But I'm too angry to talk about it at this point and I have no idea how best to exploit it (and am to a point the wrong identity; the progressives already have that exploitation on lockdown, as they embody the fantasy the old always wanted).
Playgrounds are too much money
And if you send your kid there we'll abduct them and destroy your family. The future is too unsafe.
I am aware that there are still a few places where the spirit of the West lives, and maybe if I can get to one...

They do have naval forces, surprisingly
You're not unloading troops or tanks from a frigate, though. You need lots of landing craft and a place to land at for that, and it's apparently geographically unfavorable to land in Europe on the Mediterranean coast (Spain doesn't really count, by the way; you're not driving through the mountain border to France).
If you want to conquer territory and impose your law, you have to get your men there so they can occupy it (and enforce that claim). If you can't get your men there, you don't control the territory, simple as, and that's as true in 1939 as it is in 2026.

There's about 250 million North Africans in 2026, the Third Reich had only 80 million people.
I think the real question is what the UK decides to do. (The USSR really isn't "Europe"; if anything, they'd be on the side of Africa- how do they benefit from a strong Europe? Not that they're in any position to attack in '39.) If they intervene on the Continental side, Europe wins; if they intervene on the African side, Europe loses.
Europe has all the manufacturing power but no resources; Africa has all the resources but no manufacturing power.
Nuclear weapons make manpower irrelevant and they can be delivered ballistically into North Africa from European positions (and Germany is famous for this capability); in a world whose neutral countries do not know what they do, there's no taboo against their use (outside of the Africans, but they're at war, so their protests don't matter, not that they would to the average European in 1939).
Once European scientists figure out that it's not only possible, but relatively trivial, to build them (especially if they have colony resources to draw on) the war goes cold the minute Cairo and Tripoli are erased by atomic power. The Africans will have a harder time with it even though they straight up start with a reactor that has already been used to do this, but that has more to do with South Africa than anything else (and the defection of any remaining sympathetic South African scientists will be a huge problem for the Africans- a joint UK/NL expeditionary force securing modern scientific knowledge would be catastrophic for the African position- and European survival is also dependent on who else recognizes this, and by that I mostly mean the Americans).
Something people forget about modern Africa is that currently they have literally zero ability to actually invade Europe (currently their idea of an 'invasion' is a civilian vessel or a Castaway-tier raft; scary in the Bronze Age or maybe Europe ca. 2026). They have no naval forces, no heavy lift aircraft, and very little ability to build them. Sure, they could do an air war as a Pearl Harbor-style shock and awe campaign, but once they're out of ammunition (and more importantly than those things, jet/diesel fuel) they have zero ability to replace them.
By the time they've built that capacity, 1939 Europe is a nuclear state.

Basically, southern Ontario is being punished for voting wrong with complete economic destruction. All of the "deals" are bullshit cope; Europe won't permit Canada to retain its industry (or sovereignty, honestly) any more than the US would have.
It matters not one bit to LPC voters who will gladly turn anywhere west of Toronto into the next rust belt (especially those in provinces who exist solely because of government welfare, which is everywhere east of Toronto) just so long as they believe they've successfully thrown their weight around because Trump was mean to them on the internet. They're the embodiment of every single complaint made about MAGA.
LPC voters think it'll all go back to normal once Trump is out of office. It won't.

but it also means that the people getting these degrees not only waste 4 years of their productivity being IQ tested, but because they start out upwards of 200K in debt, which delays all kinds of things that would be useful for the economy. Crazy things like, buying a house, taking vacations, having children and thus needing the kinds of things you need to feed and clothe a child. These things, in 1950, generally happened in your twenties
Remember when I said this system was fundamentally just child sacrifice?
Well, I meant it.
This has by now created a situation in which the population is shrinking and thus unless we import workers, there’s no way to keep the systems running.
Or in other words, the sacrifices to the academic-managerial system have consumed everything, just like those Easter Island heads. The system has to look for more and more people who are born outside of it (and ban every other sector of economic activity) to keep its asset prices inflated.
One notices the system lives in fear of those who would rather burn them at the stake instead, and the split between Blue and Red (and the other dichotomous groups that are proxies for this) is in many ways a looming socioeconomic pension crisis specifically because we sacrificed too many kids, and too much youth, in the service of building [or inflating, if you will] so many heads.
Which is perhaps in large part why, right now, the political fight in the West is between the academic-managerial class and everyone else. That class is expecting a payout in political power that most countries simply can't afford to honor if they want to remain solvent.
Elected Democrats believe, rightly or wrongly (I genuinely don't know which) that being called racist will do more damage to their personal career prospects than hurting the party.
It has more to do with why the accusation is made in the first place.
The cry of "racism" is an argument from privilege; unpacked, it's "you can't reform away my sociopolitical power because I claim it would result in spiritual damage to a cause I am pretending to care about to gain a superior position over my peers" (whether it actually does or not is immaterial). Cries of "sexism" function the same way.
Conservative parties, which the Democrats (and Blue tribe) are [and at least the median citizen understands that more than they did 20 years ago], function solely on this kind of privilege; back when conservatism was Christian, it was the same thing- claiming something was 'unchristian' is "you can't reform away my sociopolitical power because I claim it would result in spiritual damage to a cause I pretend to a cause I am pretending to care about to gain a superior position over my peers".
Thus, "X-ism" is actually an assertion that the privilege of faction members to rent-seek without limit using the civil religion as justification is in question, and that's what a conservative/Democrat/Blue fears, because literally every part of their coalition has that trait in common.
It's also why reformers fail when they accept the conservative falsehood that honoring the moral claim of "racism" isn't the pure rent-seeking it actually is (usually through some sniveling apology; they're neither hot nor cold and thus the electorate spits them out). The correct way to deal with that as a reformer is to not even dignify it with a response.
Screening for degrees saves employers time and boosts productivity without having to interview everyone.
So does an IQ test.
A degree works because it is an IQ test, just one that costs at 50,000 dollars and 4 years of your life to complete, much like high school used to be in the days before graduation rate became something governments would be punished at the voting booth for failing to sufficiently game.
Now, there's an entire industry that depends on forcing perfectly good high school graduates to spend at least 50,000 dollars and 4 years of their lives, in co-operation with a management system that refuses to employ anyone who didn't take this kind of IQ test. If they wanted to increase the fee, management has no reason not to agree, forming the bedrock of the academic-managerial complex, if you will.

They're not second-tier in terms of functionality.
They are second-tier in terms of aesthetics, and that matters for guns whose aesthetics are the only advertisement. Ruger isn't even a stranger to that concept; that's the only reason Mini-14s sell in areas where you could buy literally anything else, and everything in Marlin's lineup is like that too.
By being off-brand Italian garbage that, while they are dimensionally compatible with gear (and some grips) meant for K-frame revolvers, is where the similarities end (so you're on your own for parts).
In my defense, it was 300USD, new in box, looked like a Python, and I bought it because I wanted a gun for every competition division (and... also to learn about revolvers; in this, the piece functioned as intended). A .357 would have been better if only for more reliable ejection; .38-only revolvers can sometimes fail to get the casings out and this one is no exception (I'm also not doing the '90s-cop/Ayoob thing where you let go of the grip and tilt the gun vertical to eject, so if I forget to sufficiently tilt the gun up before hitting the rod it'll remind me). I'd go to .38 Short Colt brass for speed, but doing that creates pressure in excess of what a .38 is supposed to take, so that's out too.
Anyway, this particular design uses a torsion spring to push the bolt into the locking recesses on the cylinder rather than the coil spring S&W designs use, and was having problems positively locking the cylinder, so it locked up in the first 50 rounds with a shaved jacket against the left side of the forcing cone (and would occasionally lead to a round where the primer would be hit so off-center that it wouldn't fire). Modifying that spring so that it engaged more forcefully against the frame solved the issue- the gun wasn't actually out of time, it just wouldn't honor the existing timing, if that makes any sense.
Then, one of the two pins engaging the hand with the other moving parts fell out somehow. For some stupid reason, the pins aren't actually part of that assembly, and said pin magically vanished out of the gun one session. The one I ground to fit seems to have held up better- at least that was a standard dimension, but I get the distinct impression that it's supposed to sit flush against the inside of the frame (there's no recess to hold it in the side plate) and I currently suspect some of the inconsistent trigger pulls the thing suffers from now are due to this pin shifting in some direction (perhaps due to recoil) and binding up. That could probably be solved by an improved shim to better capture the pin, melting some plastic on the 'loose' end to support it better, or soldering the pin to the hand, but I'm too lazy to take this thing apart because it's annoying to get the side plate back on so that's just a theory for now.
Oh yeah, and the screw holding the cylinder release backs off within 100 rounds of tightening it (unless you make it so tight it binds). Loctite would solve that if I was totally done playing with it, but a gun that was made before the widespread use of threadlocker shouldn't need threadlocker.
The extractor rod will sometimes bind due to failing to re-center on the stud that retains it and there's no chamfer so good luck loading anything other than round-nosed projectiles with any urgency whatsoever. Surface finish is nice enough but not so nice I wouldn't be that sad if I scratched it up somehow.
And yet, for all of those faults, I shoot it exceptionally well [in DA] with the factory grips (which are too fat to accommodate speedloaders, but one problem at a time) and have about 6000 rounds through the thing so far. It would be more, but the assholes at the place I bought the bullets from failed to send me the proper diameter, so that's kind of on hold for now.
Overall, I rate it 6 out of 6, would revolve again.
Honestly I'd rather them just offer standalone barrels (Ruger seems to have a bad habit of making things non-user-replaceable simply by not offering the parts; I think the nonexistent demand for shorter PC Carbine barrels is indicative it didn't start selling more as time went on, but that's because you have far better options). They're basically all takedown models for some reason, not like it'd be hard.
I don't think the PC Carbine was ever actually that great or optimized a product. It's 3 pounds heavier than it should be, the magazine well is about 2" further forward than it should be, and the non-50-state/tactical version makes itself known it really wasn't designed that way. Sturdy is expensive.
It's unfortunate. Ruger appears to define themselves largely by their legacy offerings (which is why it's a shock they're ditching the revolvers) but any iteration they do make on an established formula is 15 years too late and looks like it was just slapped together. They're a lot like FN in that way.
I'm kind of surprised they didn't just go Walther MPL (where the bolt's a rough casting except for the bearing surfaces which are nicely machined), but then again, 9mm carbines are luxury products to begin with (which is also why every manufacturer feels compelled to offer some gimmick- takedown for the Ruger, folding for the S&W, and... well, I'd say Kel-Tec but they'd do it even if they didn't need to so I don't think that counts) so maybe Guntube would laugh at them for a cast part being obviously cast.
Then again, I'm also one of those weird people who think that a Mini-14 set up with changeable barrels to shoot every pistol caliber under the sun would be an interesting prospect; the last people to ever make a semi-auto rifle in a revolver caliber was... well, Ruger's modified Mini-14 in .44 Magnum. They won't do this because they bought Marlin (and because it would require designing a bunch of magwells and a substantial modification to the receiver, including the fundamentals of how it operates), but for people who don't have the kind of range available to take advantage of an optic and don't want to spend $2/round on a rifle design that's so stereotypically American the CMP is usually running low on guns to re-import? I could think of worse business ideas. (Or just stamp a bunch of clips to hold 9mm if you'd have to do it the shitty Chiappa M1-9 way from any other pistol magazine, and have them launch out the top in the Garand way. I'm sure there's at least one state that exempts fixed magazines from capacity restrictions.)

I think my revolver has jammed more times than my semi-autos at this point (and that’s something requiring disassembly to fix), but it’s also somehow ridiculously accurate despite having a 12-pound trigger (that is sometimes 20 if it’s in a bad mood).
You require no other hand strength to unload the gun, as soon as the cylinder leaves the gun it can’t fire even if the user pulls the trigger (for leverage, I guess), and you get a set trigger if you need one by pulling the hammer back.
It’s honestly a type of pistol that you could use offensively if you needed to (as in, not exactly 7 yards and in, especially in .357 where it’s not dropping 3” at 50 yards) if you put an optic on it, which is probably why the French adopted one.
I think the decline in metallic silhouette, or the fact it didn’t evolve as a shooting game, has a lot to do with why the casual for-recreation owner doesn’t seem to bother. Not like indoor ranges have the space for it anyway.

Any idiot with a CNC can do AR-15 stuff, and outside of maybe the Stoner 63 (which Robinson did in aluminum, that’s what the XCR is) it’s unique in that regard.
You’d have to do design work to transpose any other rifle and, if you have the tooling, it’s not worth it (especially with AKs, but the G3 as well). Modern guns come out of extenders nowdays and you need serious capital and production numbers for that (plastic or aluminum), but not the AR.
It’s lucky that the AR had a flat top that lent itself to optics basically by mistake but it is legitimately a great rifle in a cartridge that is almost as cheap as surplus used to be.

Even lower-volume competition shooters can expect their guns to last a lifetime. 5000 rounds a year over 20 years is 100,000 rounds, and that’s not unrealistic for guns to be able to reach.
S&W revolver designs start breaking down closer to 50K rounds (they start going out of time), AKs crack at the trunnion after about 100K, ARs break uppers at the barrel threads if they even break at all, and most modern extruded aluminum rifles are likely capable of a million especially those with replaceable high-wear surfaces (the SIG MCX being a good example of that). The barrel will be shot out, and the bolt might break lugs, but that’s not usually a gun-ender so long as you can still buy the part.

Actually, yeah, I think you’re right. I thought the Carbines were both extruded but looking at them again I’m pretty sure they’re largely billet aluminum with cast bolts (one being its own thing, and one being an obvious conversion of their handguns).
Honestly I’m kind of surprised they never bothered to make an LC Carbine in 9mm but I guess that would cannibalize PC sales, which were probably not that great to begin with.

With apologies to Stevie Wonder:

>I just called to say 'the N-word'
>I just called to say how much I care
>I just called to say 'the N-word'

Remember when people used to do that for "the F-word"? I guess nothing really ever changes, does it.
They might be able to do that indefinitely, but this seems to presuppose the framing of "they literally start a D-Day assault on day 1", and I don't think that's what would happen. Just because two 'nations' are at war doesn't require them to do the equivalent of immediately running full speed at each other with spears.
It turns out that it's really, really hard to invade by sea. The last time a state that could reasonably claim to be a European Union conquered North Africa you only needed 2 digits to write the year, and the
EUSPQR had pushed their territory so far east they could literally just walk from Rome to the [ruins of] Carthage without crossing any borders. It would take them a while, and you're better off by ship, but you could do it.I think the best Africa could hope for in the limited time (and with the limited number of modern weapons) they have is a quick conquest of Spain. Spain has been conquered [via Africa] before, and 1939 Spain has just been (quite literally) decimated by a civil war. Toppling Franco might be all that's needed to extend Africa's borders to the Pyrenees, and that's easy for the weapons modern Africa has.
Once they have that, theatre goes cold (and now Africa can disrupt shipping in the Mediterranean). Maybe Britain's crazy enough to try landing but I think they get Dieppe'd if they do.
Come to think of it, if there's any "run with spears out at each other lol" going on it's happening in the Near East, because invading through Macedonia doesn't require a navy Africa doesn't have. Though even being able to blockade at Gibraltar creates one more problem and requires answering "is the rest of the world in 2026 or 1939"? Because a 2026 Israel is nuclear, so game's over for the side they ally with, which is probably going to be 1939 Europe mainly because 1939 Europe would let them get away with conquering the entire Levant in a way 2026 America (or 2026 Africa) would not tolerate.
Or maybe that's moot because the other nuclear powers all agree to turn 1939 Europe into a wasteland for the exact same reasons they went to war with 1939 Europe back in 1939, so...
