TIL there are more people living in Queens, NY born in China than from any Latin American country.
Now I'm not sure if PR was a country, if that would be higher than China so idk.

I actually think it's fair to say that the very first colonists at Plymouth were simply colonists. Not immigrants. Immigration means going to a civil society that already exists.
But ofc I don't see "colonialism" as inherently evil anyways, so it's not a weighty distinction.

Sorry but if you're a white supremacist libertarian your only take on Hindu Americans from India should be that they learned the rules of American capitalism and played the game better than almost all of us.

David Shor has been beating the Tik Tok drum for a while.
This isn't really related to AI created content, not yet.
But has more to do with the fact that you don't have to be a dedicated artiste to make viral TT content. So it's turning into a big vector for right-wing outreach.

This gets into the heart of the matter perhaps. AI will not really eliminate employment by the "creatives". But it will probably replace liberal content creators with conservatives, as is already being done with podcasts.

I think part of this is that the trad subculture doesn't even see "high value" man as that related to income.
They don't admire wimpy computer programmers living in big houses at the suburbs of Boston who will happily will do housework for the wife.

I hate the constant bombardment of bait on twitter so much.
Yes, a lot of men would have sex with any woman regardless of how hot or ugly she was. And no, that's not new and it does not really condemn you to celibacy.

The "Left" as in liberals and non white Democrats does not believe this.
The "Left" as in the far left types who had Mamdanigasms though, are close to thinking this way.

Religious people are happier and they reproduce more but there's just not a lot of evidence religion is needed for a moral society.
Sweden is extremely secular and moral because people aren't stupid and they realize that even the best prison is kind of uncomfortable.

My understanding is that men trading in their wives when they get rich is rare, and especially if you exclude niche groups like rockstars and actors.
It's much more common the other way around.

I think the confusion on boomers is that basically X/Y/Z/A are just extending the prosperity narcissism that boomers created.
That is people born after 1964 are simply boomers with more boom.
It's just that bc boomers were such a clean break from the greatest they seem more exceptional.

The reason I find this kind of rhetoric cringe (though it may be politically useful idk) is that focusing on what poor people own is just missing the point.
For poor people consumption(including social welfare services like healthcare) matters
Owning stuff doesn't matter very much.

Even the highbrow republicans have to speak in conspiratorial terms.
A secular society just sees kids as an expensive hobby. No ideological group is telling women to view it this way, that's just how a narcissistic society works.

In a way, he's onto something.
The gaza war was not an elite commando op against a small high value target. That would have been a weak response to a spectacular act of terrorism. And a weak response invites more attacks.
However it was war. And in war you kill your enemy with no regrets.

Eh, populism isn't even really directed at the cognitive elites or economic elites.
I guess you could say "cultural elites" are targeted. Those who went to ivy league schools.
Also the many "wannabe elites" - women who actually know Reese Witherspoon's book recommendations etc.

One thing you notice on here is that people who are all in on drinking the progressive refreshments tend to reuse certain rhetorical tactics over and over again.

Ireland's home ownership rate is really high. Switzerland's home ownership rate is a lot lower. But the quality of life is not that different.

The disconnect here is that Islamoleftism is not exactly a real philosophy but a synthesis of people like Corbyn who want to just say "my country is evil and mean" over and over again, and actual Islamists who are merely parroting leftist rhetoric when it's convenient.

I refuse to believe the woman on the left had anything to do with the man on the right and especially if it was supposedly "an affair".

He will encourage harassment of Jews. Expect to see a lot more of this going forward.
