AIPAC is, in a US context, actually bipartisan. The right is defined by opposing trans women in women's sports, even when no one supports it, and the left is defined by supporting abortion rights, even when no one is opposing them. AIPAC does neither.

Very high verbal IQ, a minimal mercenary quality, and a willingness to accept below market rate salaries are the minima. Oh, and you also have to move around a lot.

There is phenomenally popular conservative art, though. Like yeah, pop country is never going to attract the appreciation of classical music snobs- but it's the most popular genre in the US, and has been for years. The normies do not have refined tastes.

I mean, it is Twitter. Bringing lunch to work is extremely normal in the USA.

Two of your three cost disease categories are basically just the two income trap; healthcare is its own little world.

The problem with the liberal solution is that in its absence, some concept of stochastic terrorism becomes necessary, even if it’s philosophically incoherent. You can’t have political violence and addressing proximal causes is better than addressing neither proximal nor root causes.

Never heard the Trump angle, but it doesn't sound like Trump. Maybe something that someone whispered to him and he then did, but if FIFA could totally change their refereeing in response to Trump they would've done it for the Belgium-USA game. With the amount of money they're making having the US as a host- and the amount of money they stand to make from the USA going to quarters- they'd have already done it if they could.

Messi is 39, Ronaldo is 41- not exactly a gigantic difference there. He's also legitimately the best player in the world, even if it's exaggerated somewhat by celebrity, and had that reputation even before he became FIFA's flagship player to try to sell the beautiful game to the world's few holdouts against it.

England is still bitter over the 1986 game where Maradona scored a goal off a handball and the ref let it stand, Argentina hates England because of nonsensical posturing over the Malvinas.
It's white people acting like Balkaners all around.

There have been a lot of fouls in this world cup but Argentina has had, just like previous world cups, a lot of them.

Using doordash is strongly anti-correlated with income, actually.

Women were not pulled out of the home by economics. It was culture- male wages were steadily rising and the US did not experience prolonged unemployment during the period when it shifted from unusual to the default. That cultural shift had knock on economic effects.

The tradition in apostolic churches is to introduce the Christian teaching on marriage with John Chrysostom for that reason.
I know that Protestants do not do patristics to nearly the same extent. But before saying things like ‘Christian marriage was the norm in ancient Rome’ it’s probably worth looking at what ancient Christian preachers were criticizing in marriages.

Some people are just wrong- Dulce et decorum est. They’re committing treason and that’s it.

My understanding was that although very few countries bother to do much persecution of homosexuals, there’s plenty of countries where informal lynchings of sodomites are common and ignored by the police.

Well they should. Germany should just summarily execute the draft dodgers- shipping them back to their country is a light sentence.

Uh, aren’t they all transgender furries? I agree that at the end of the day, guy with gun is going to beat computer programmer. But eunuchs often don’t care.

Blue tribe America likes English soccer- well not really, they don’t actually like sports, but they claim to like English soccer, so they’re probably watching a World Cup semifinal with England in it. Especially after Norway lost(backing Norway was trendy enough to make this World Cup more popular than usual).

The England-Argentina soccer rivalry is one of the bitterest in the game.

STDs do impact female fertility though.
Think tanks are like, step ten of a twenty step plan. First you have to produce cultural conservative EHC, which means getting EHC through university while keeping them culturally conservative. That means 1) stuff about universities and 2) even before that, you need a social stratum which is culturally conservative, high IQ, and interested in being elite human capital, and it has to produce or recruit.
