Look, my job is pretty close to the last one to be eliminated by AI. And granted that someone needs to work at the dmv and it isn’t an especially competency rewarding position, preferentially handing it out to favored groups is just the way the world works.
But at the end of the day there’s no need for that. As you yourself noted, google invested its profits in hiring people for vanity projects, nonsense, and empire building. Low interest rate phenomenon, sûre, but if someone can get hired by google they can take cyclical unemployment through belt tightening, or it’s their own damn fault. This seems like a universal. People and institutions like to spend their money, a dragon hoard is in fact completely pointless. I don’t have a wad of cash to occasionally stroke while going ‘my precious’ in gollum voice. People want the things money buys. Not the money itself.

‘People generally comprehend’ /= ‘people who kill people comprehend’.

I mean the fact that the shooter killed two people and left militates in favor of targeting, right? The Uzbek exchange student might have been in the way, missed shot, or fighting back on the assumption it was a mass shooting.

And these marriages are attractive to local women because the status of soldiers is boosted.

Whether very early twenties men want to do this or not, it does demonstrably work- the military achieves a very high marriage and fertility rate with its population of, mostly, extremely young males from working class backgrounds.

Netflix has a lot of eg older shows people bingewatch, or dirt-cheap apolitical 'reality' brainrot that premiered on boomer cable networks to fill airtime. And, demonstrably, people like that stuff.

Just a reminder that whites have the stablest TFR in the US, it's actually slightly ahead of the black TFR, that US immigration is more white than black, and that whites of any age are the most likely to be married. Your blackpill on white people is not true, although white demographic decline is still likely.

In practice, there are many churches for high status white people. They’re just boomerlibs.

The very successful American Jews are mostly non-practicing; they’re probably not any more liberal than non-practicing urban Christians on the east coast, but they’re definitely not networking at the synagogue.

Which I suspect is because of discrimination against them in the grad programs.
Uh, does it control for degree program? Lower-scoring individuals are usually less likely to go into difficult programs, and thus finish.

Professional painters exist, and I don’t even mean housepainters(which anyone who isn’t visibly high when inquiring can get). Portrait artists have no control of the creativity of their profession, is all.

I would've assumed Canada without the clarification.

Ashkenazim are a minority in Israël, and are outperformed by the local Arab Christians(who also probably have high average IQ).

Islamic cousin marriage tends to be much more systematic than cousin marriage outside Islam.

Islamic genetic potential tends to be worse than for their Christian neighbors, though. Often because Muslims marry their cousins at crazy high rates.

Religion seems largely stabilized by generational cohort overall in the US- but plenty of churches are still dying. Gen Z isn’t any less religious than millennials, but they’re both less religious than their silent gen great grandparents. As older people die off congregations shrink, but they’re stabilizing at a lower level.
Theres also denominational shuffling, where some groups gain at the expense of others.
Btw theres not really a good way to get actual church attendance rates- surveys are biased upwards and cell phone tracking is biased downwards(phones ping more often when people are on them). Internal records from churches are probably pretty close to accurate but can only tell you absolute numbers, not rates.

Not disputing far left males being disproportionately likely to be sexual predators, but weren't women actually underrepresented on the political left until the eighties at the earliest?

Work as an HVAC tech is literally always available, even with a DUI I could just work internally at a datacenter or hospital(so no company vehicle), albeit with much worse hours. If I get maimed and don't get a payout from it I'd have to get my contractor's license and work for a sketchy company holding insurance at a slight pay cut. The process takes about six to eight weeks of study and costs $1500 in books and seminars, but just having the license isn't a big enough economic advantage to justify it unless you're crippled or trying to start a business. I won't defend it, but it's hardly the worst example of regulatory distortion that exists(it's one moderately highly paid manager per company branch location- most white collar firms are way worse).
Non-driving related legal trouble would just mean working for a crappier company once done with the actual legal penalties. A collapsed business just means you declare bankruptcy and go to work for someone else again('I'm a good tech but I didn't know how to run a business' is a common enough story that everyone will accept it). There might be work life balance compromises, or much smaller pay compromises, but if worst comes to worst(unfixable drug addiction or something) there will still be a job there- even if it's a hotside restaurant equipment focused job(all those guys are alcoholic drug users behind on their child support anyways, and most of them got into it by being HVAC techs).

Don't they replace finals with essays as often as they can get away with?

Probably because zionism is more difficult to have a debate about. You can destroy trans narratives with facts and logic pretty easily; zionism is not based on that.

Am I the only one who thinks 80% as many arrests for speech crimes as there are for robbery is less than ideal?

The tomb of Jesus has been known for well over a thousand years.
Not relevant to your broader point, but you can literally go visit the tomb of Jesus. There's a church there; the Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Armenian Orthodox are forced to split it by the civil authorities in Israel(and before that were forced to split it by the Ottoman authorities). Ditto for the manger; Catholics get the midnight service on Christmas(in Latin).

Can't speak for Levin, but if some personal skepticism of zionism was a brightline for Shapiro he wouldn't have hired so many trad Catholics to work for him. Granted, not the crazy antisemitic schizo ones, but still, by all appearances Shapiro is more invested in social conservatism than Israel.

Probably not, but there's been some high profile clips of him acting in very, uh, non-het ways with other men.
‘Taking away the interests of the poor in other solutions, whether communism or church based charity’ was literally the motivator behind a lot thé early welfare states, though, wasn’t it?
