One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

China does not get enough hate for helping Russia in the genocide it commits in Ukraine
The amount of blood China has on its hands for helping Russia kill Ukrainians is underrated.
China is the reason Russia can still continue its war.
China is effectively at war with Europe and should not be considered a partner.
Partners don’t kill each other

Ok the russian budget figure for November are out, so let's take a closer look. Borrowing graphics from Istrebin's telegram to go over topline figures and then check into some trend.
Top line: the deficit stands at 4.28 trillion compared to .36 trillion at this time last year.

Usually, 18% of Russian budget spending happens in December. This year, only 13% is left - if Russia wants to stay within its budget plan. Most likely, the plan will change. Historical patterns indicate total spending of 45 trillion rubles and a deficit of 8 trillion rubles (3.6% of GDP).

New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.
It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

The USSR sweater is really the bow on the genocidal package.
Russian propagandist Armen Gasparyan openly called for the mass killing of Ukrainians, saying there’s “nothing wrong if some Halya dies in Chernihiv.” He described strikes on the Dnipro left bank as a “cleansing” and claimed civilians “deserve” it.

This is fucked up, but also admittedly very funny.
The Russian shadow fleet tanker Kairos, damaged by a Ukrainian naval drone, is now off Bulgaria’s coast. Bulgarian authorities say a Turkish tug towed the burning vessel into their waters and then left it. Rough seas on Dec 6 prevented boarding. The crew has enough food and water for several days.

Russia wants the EU to collapse because it’s a military rival.
It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isn’t territorial expansion, though.
So it advances the idea that the EU isn’t democratic (as if Russia was).
The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

This is a confusing graph, but worth digging into. The left axis is the spread between Urals and Brent (ie discount), represented by the bar graph. The right axis is the dollar price per barrel, represented by the two line graphs.
Bottom line- Urals oil sold for $44 a barrel in November.

Putin’s spokesman Peskov praised recent changes to the U.S. National Security Strategy, claiming they align with Russia’s views. He called it a potential basis for “constructive work” on a "Ukraine settlement".

This is horrifying and radicalizing. Pure gestapo shit. What are we doing?!?!
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Once again we must ask ourselves, "what is conservatism conserving?"
Apparently we're calling constitutional amendments "long standing principles" now. Missed that memo
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko
