I think the PRC has been doing something like this to the Uyghurs. Also might want to look at Australia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_...

One job the PRes could take on, and which its nationwide network would be helpful for, is returning to the system from the 80s for keeping track of Supp Reserve members locally. IIRC at that point there were check-in appointments every six months, for which members were paid $300 or something.

I mean, the present structure can only really be justified if it's the skeleton basis for a 1939-style mobilization. If that's the model, to be totally fair, the current model makes at least some sense. If we're not on some level preparing for that, then by all means blow it up and start fresh.

Social media amplifies our worst tendencies: bloodlust, baseless speculation, the hunger for vengeance. We were not made to see people repeatedly murdered on camera. We were not meant to read every person's unfiltered opinions. It is corrosive to the soul.

The problem here is that it’s pretty clear that having punched Prince Andrew, who is such a repulsive person on so many levels, in the face is very unlikely to bring you into disrepute in the eyes of right-thinking members of society, so I’m not sure where this legal claim is likely to end up

No one wants to hear this but you will find more wisdom in an old fairy-tale, a monologue from Shakespeare, a chapter of Jane Austen, than in all the self-help books in Barnes & Noble. You don't need more lifemaxxing, you need myth, poetry, beauty.

tweet from decadentquill that reads, "for people addicted to self-help books, I prescribe that you read one poem every day and recite it until you have it memorized. you need people need an infusion of beauty, not more neurosis."

Lewis and Tolkien had it exactly right: spend time in nature, go for long leisurely walks, read widely and often, gather a small circle of friends who will love and support you, pursue your niche creative projects and make your life a constant adventure of delight and learning.

Men, you won’t find the answers to life’s questions in grindset manuals and self-help books, you’ll find them in myth, history, philosophy and literature, but some of you aren’t ready to have that conversation.

💢 Zelenskyy said Russia violated the “Easter truce” 2,935 times: 96 assaults, 1,882 attacks on Ukrainian positions (812 with heavy weapons), and over 950 FPV drone strikes. Ukraine’s response, he said, will “mirror” Russian actions.
