From the perspective of someone who lives in a country that also started a war widely considered to be unjust recently and then also got mired in it:
I don't give a fuck. Treason shmeason, it's their job to fill the hole back up after digging themselves into it. I don't buy the noises on how the country is going to collapse as soon as we give an inch of whatever, it's all lies. The truth is that failure will hurt the politician class (the current ones at least, which I hate and want ruined) more than it could ever hurt regular people. Fuck them. And if it does hurt regular people, fuck the government stooges anyway. They're afraid of ruin more than we are.
Not that I can do anything actively with a reasonable chance to get away with it, but they don't get a mote of loyalty from me.
Even if you don't want to burn them all down, you should still proceed with an understanding that the elites will lie about the consequences of not going along with their shit.
It's all the money that goes into all the orgs that put up all these flags, organize all the marches, etc.
So, as long as the money is collectively raised in any way, it's artificial? I'm just trying to determine the actual boundaries of your definition of artificial.
You think this was put up by a small coffee shop?
No. I do think 10x less than that will still be disliked by those who want to dislike it. Hell, 100x less than that.

In my estimation, Russia (at the very least St. Petersburg, the capital of Russian artsy progressives) does not lack progwokes. And unlike Western progwokes who gassed themselves out on their victory lap, there's still a lot of winning for Russian progwokes.
What's "artificially propped up"? Sure, I'll agree that near-mandatory sensitivity consulting corporations are probably the central example of artificial propping-up. In the case of a manager of a small coffee shop deciding to put up rainbow flags during June, I wouldn't agree that it's artificial. There wouldn't be specific laws against "propagandizing the LGBT community" if no one really wanted to propagandize the LGBT community. As you say, just the lack of mandating the LGBT propaganda would be enough.

There would be no shortage of organic ones, and likely a few NGOs. The demand for Russia's tradbasedness vastly outstrips the supply, and while many Russians are not exactly the ones chafing to go "in this house we believe" if only the laws allow it, the active opposition to the LGBT flags number few, and are likely sponsored.
I expose my counter-signaling gay elite taste (as per the Evil Vizier blog) by saying this, but medium and below is the patrician's choice, primarily because of self-sufficiency regarding support and longevity.
StS2 is on my list, but not buying it yet because I just recently got Esoteric Ebb (Disco Elysium-esque "chat with your head while the plot makes fun of politics" but in a fantasy setting) and Mewgenics (turn-based XCOM/Into the Breach-like tactics, but you control ugly cats and have to breed more of them between runs), and nowhere near done with those.
In StS, having a thin deck is generally very strong for the reasons you stated. You still want to add cards to your deck at the start because the starting cards are subpar (all of my advice is based on the first game but should hold for the second if they didn't change the formula completely). Just make sure that your build is somewhat coherent.
Fighting elites is desirable when possible because (in StS1) they give a bonus relic.

Given that you've made it explicit that you want a woman to treat you as a sex object to the exclusion of all other aspects including personality, which is about as realistic as a woman expecting her boyfriend to get hard-ons from her career instead of her body - it's a more realistic assumption your relationships were the unusually dysfunctional ones.

If they have hundreds of eligible candidates, why isn't the job filled yet?

I can imagine what the reaction would be to a murdered intelligence trafficker's files being published.
Abortion remains THE primary voting issue for women, but that's all they can do is cast votes and scream. You can plug your ears.
Plugging your ears will not magically create a retvrned society where women instantly realize their proper role and shit.
The issue with trying to fix sex relations is that it is not going to be enough for enough male simps to stop caring about women. You want men to care about women, if not in the same direction that they do now. Care enough to grab them off the streets, or buy them from their fathers while garnering the fathers' respect, or do whatever it is they do in Muslim countries.
(Like - suppose I wanted to marry now, the last thing I want to do is to court some old fuck who's probably a backwards boomer opposite of me on politics and all that. I'd rather court the woman, notwithstanding all the woes of modern courting!)
And in the absence of the tradition that taught men to care about women that way, the only ones who will are the crazy ones who will put a crazy bent on it. E. g. Jim.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone passionately cared about the percentage of white genotypes recorded in the AGI's diamond computronium banks.

At this point, it feels like the most important factor is: do the country's elites have the capacity for suicidal spite necessary for a first strike? Being the former leadership of a country that loses in conventional warfare can't be worse than huddling in bunkers under a world that's been nuked back to the stone age.
Alien? You mean, alien as in unlike the famously peaceable USA and other countries well-known for spending their prime doing absolutely no wars of aggression?
It bears repeating that in no world is Israel ever going to be more alien to "the rest of the world" than the Muslim countries, save for perhaps other Muslim countries. The fargroup-outgroup distinction is in full force, and Israel is, as always, not the so-alien-they're-not-really-thought-about fargroup.

I did not claim women could be physically on par with men (though I wouldn't mind if they were in the future, through transhumanust efforts). If I thought they were, I would be advocating for them to enter the free-for-all league, not for the dignity of their own league.
I even used an analogy where the leagues are even more different in peak ability than men and women are to drive my point.

Interesting. Specifically Israeli tourists, as opposed to "American with sidelocks"?

I do privilege the XX-having as a segregated category.
I'll try to explain with an example. Suppose the human species is split into two fantasy races - one is 9ft tall on average, and the other 3ft tall (with all the commeasurate differences in peak ability). Assuming that we've found an equilibrium in society in most things, rather than fighting forever fantasy race wars or a genocide/utter subjugation of one by the other, it makes perfect sense to me that we would have a 9-footer league in sports and a 3-footer league, and the 3-footer league would be treated as "real sports", rather than being dismissed by all of society as insignificant simply because 9-footers can run sprints thrice as fast.
Now, if you look at sports cynically, then genes determine what your peak is, genes determine how tenacious you are, parents and infrastructure determine how much you're railroaded into professional sports, and political lobbying determines what kind of supplements are considered legitimate as opposed to doping.
Once you choose to not look at sports cynically, then splitting the Real Sports into two leagues based on two groups, where:
- each comprises half of humanity,
- each is necessary to perpetuate society and
- each is represented in any smaller subdivision of community, down to family units
appears to be both a minimal subdivision and a necessary one, if one is to promote general admiration for one's physical form in society. Things such as black people being slightly more represented among peak runners or white people being slightly more represented among peak [stereotypically white-dominating sport] do not appear to warrant further splitting.

When your constitution says "all people shall be equal before the law", do you feel compelled to say "but they're not, why must we pretend otherwise"?

"Natural state" as I understand it would require that the "goyim" know absolutely nothing about jews from things such as cultural background, religion, etc. and form their opinion solely on living alongside them. I am not aware of any such social experiments.
Looking at history it is not difficult for explicitly religious Christians to hate anyone at all who is not Christian. Jews aren't particularly special in that regard.
A majority of men will find that a rule that excludes all women from voting, governing and performing on jury based on some objective measure of competence will also exclude them. This is usually considered a bad thing by those who support universal male suffrage.
Of course it is not "necessary" to measure the competence objectively when one can rely on such time-tested proxies as "has a penis", "white" or "possesses as much property or more than the person currently arguing in favor of restricting the suffrage", but you get the idea.
What are you actually trying to claim here? "Children's sports are not literally the same as young adults'" is a very different claim than "women's sports matter, and should matter, as little as children's sports compared to men's".
Personally, I believe that humans reaching the height of what their bodies can perform does deserve celebration. In that, women's sports are equal to men's sports because exceptional women are still exceptional. Local leagues and children's leagues are transitional, at least in theory, and that's why they are not the same as women's leagues.
Should I have a daughter, my fatherly advice to her will not include "even if you become the best of all women in X, this won't matter in the slightest because male boys are still going to be better than you" or whatever argument against female sports is common those days. You're welcome to tell your daughters otherwise, of course.

Read this as "icepick" and was briefly amused by your wife's sense of humor.

I am doubtful that the elite males were ever convinced to a significant degree that God existed, or at least that He would punish them for taking many mistresses, specifically. Certainly all the commandments against not murdering and such were treated as nothing but a polite suggestion, judging by the stories of power struggles around thrones.
What did hold elite males back was that older societies were less atomized, and their escapades were more likely to be known, fueling regular, non-supernatural consequences against them such as their brother getting angry and leading a coup.
Maybe it's the people who should be willing to punish elites, vastly disproportionately. At least for as long as the elites have names and addresses and can't murder us all with drone swarms.

If she was not a public figure I would assume that save files from non-Xbox-account-registered copies of the games were imported. But the CEO of Xbox can't very well say she's been playing pirated games, can she?
If politicians want to receive intelligence from a foreign intelligence agency, it would be rather unreasonable to expect that intelligence to be broadcasted. "Spy" is not a job description. Intelligence agents spy, diplomats spy, attaches spy. You sound like you'd expect politicians to essentially never talk to any foreign officials in private.
Everyone spies on each other. USA certainly does spy on many countries and attempts to influence their politicians. If your politicians are uniquely susceptible to "NLP", it's a skill issue. Vote for smarter ones.
