The tooth to tail ratio is a bitch, but it’s not that much of a bitch. Woke activism really is aimed at producing more of the alphabet soup type of trans. The social media influencers, the public school lessons, the puberty blockers- they’re all part of the direct ecosystem in a way that supremely stupid academic papers are not.

Particularly with the UAE having a nuke- I have no doubt that the UAE, Saudi, etc could buy a paki nuke for money, but the likelihood they would do so to use against some goat herders is low. Israel, likewise, had no reason to care about the Houthis until recently. And while the USA sold Saudi weapons, we weren’t involved in the war.

Yeah, I think it was intended to reach the euro literati.

The ADL is backing Netanyahu now? Israel does have a left, you know.

Bombing Yemen is unlikely to be a great long term strategy but the U.S. government which makes peace with the Houthis is one which does not care about oil. This seems unlikely.

The US oil and global trade interests are going to keep us involved in the region and they’re going to do so in a way that angers the most terrorist-y Muslims. That can’t actually be stopped.

Relatedly, Texas A&M had its chancellor replaced with a partisan republican, very plausibly over drag queensz

Every other domesticated species gets fixed to make it easier to handle, why not humans?
I’m barely joking. Trans kids make excellent institutional pets. You’ll notice that working dogs are not castrated, and that pets usually are timed to prevent puberty. This is a natural part of hajnali Europeans separating themselves into different landraces.
The thought is horrifying but why wouldn’t domesticating ourselves have the same effects it has on everything else?

The part many on the left are missing is that puberty itself is a large part of the mechanic by which teens become heteronormal.
Hardcore gender activists aren’t missing this; they openly say they want to dismantle heteronormativity. What did you think that meant, thoughts, conferences, essays?

Yeah, when I was 13(maybe more like 13 1/2) I probably would have had sex if suddenly confronted with a willing woman, but going out of my way to get some seemed like weird alien behavior. There were girls I liked but picking one on the basis of ‘more likely to be willing to have sex’ wouldn’t have occurred to me.

Meh. Was the strike intended to kill people or to make a point?

IIRC when women are surveyed about what they mean by 'the ick' it's typically behavior in wanted or desired parters which falls short of an ideal.

The plot gives me 'progressives talking about sex instead of having it' vibes. I mean you also see that with progressives addressing lots of other things, it's not a super-specific problem. But progressives live in a world with functionally no one under about 20; not understanding what would be normal-if-bad behavior for a teenage boy and what would be extremely abnormal is expected behavior. The 'plot to get laid' aspect seems like something out of an eighties movie about actual highschoolers, not the real behavior of thirteen year old boys(who are much earlier in puberty than people who only deal with adults tend to believe).

Have you considered that a prayer for victory Is Just What You Do?

This is such a big screwup I have to wonder if it isn't intentional. I mean Yemeni goat herders aren't going to be listening in to group chats and they can't exactly stop the bombs if they are.

I mean, pro-palestinians largely are the woke. Like literally the same people in many cases(no, most of them are not Arabs). You can't go after the woke without going after pro-palestinians.

The empire did have tens of thousands of imperial star destroyers, though, and tens of thousands more lesser capital ships. We see the pride of the fleet, but we don’t the the kinds of massive formations the empire is theoretically capable of, and there’s tons of reasons for this. How often do all twelve US carriers operate together?
What we see on screen is the equivalent of a single carrier strike group. There are hundreds more in the fleet and the empire disintegrates rather than being defeated in a war of attrition. The disintegration is likely a result of coup-proofing; both the big boss and his top guy are gone, and no one else has the loyalty of the entire fleet, so individual flag officers and moffs have every incentive to play hardball with both the central government and each other, and eventually to secede into warlordism.

To be clear, I don’t think Trump is particularly likely to start disappearing journalists to an el Salvadoran gulag, and wouldn’t particularly mind it if that was where it ended. But establishing this as a power of the president will likely end with democrats doing it to people I do care about.

Yes but are they overrepresented in the age group that likes Andrew Tate? Andrew Tate fans skew young and younger generations in Britain, as elsewhere, are more minority heavy.
When you adjust for this, are white youths more pro-Andrew Tate than minority youths?

That is not true. Secular Israeli Jews have a fertility rate of 2, and that’s the lowest Israeli Jewish fertility gets.

Because the history of government shows that when it has the powers to disappear people, it tends to use those powers against those most annoying rather than those it was intended to disappear.

I think that this is being used as the reason du jour to Have a Conversation about teenagers and social media. Back in my day it was personal information, sexting, and cybersecurity. We didn’t have the words ‘revenge porn’ and ‘doxxing’ but the designated cool grownups giving us talks about responsible internet use would have recognized the concepts quite easily.

On 1, I will caution you that if Trump follows through on his promise for more high skill immigration but deporting illegals, house prices will not fall- illegals live in shitbox apartments or in trailer parks, not in houses, but high-skill immigrants are competition for housing stock.
Mhhmm. Institutions which think adolescent fertility is the worst thing in the universe, damn the long term effects, certainly rhyme.
