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.

Americans do not want to end at will employment because they quite reasonably think it will make it harder to get hired.

This could have been an interesting post with more effort.
Fuentes is almost certainly a closeted homosexual, who like many closeted homosexuals strongly disliked women. This likely somewhat informs his misogyny.

I am essentially indifferent to who controls the Donbass, yes, although I have some sympathies for Galicians. Russia isn't going to conquer Galicia and even the Russians know that.

The extremely poor performance of the Russian army for the first couple of months, basically.

The balance of evidence suggests that Fuentes is a closeted active homosexual. He has been warned by his bishop and is likely to be subject to church discipline in the medium term future due to his political activities.

Technically speaking, all Jews are Israeli citizens, no? It's kinda meaningless when you haven't gotten an Israeli passport, but it's a handy piece of antisemitic rhetoric.
It's worth noting this isn't unique to Jews; a surprisingly high percentage of native born Americans are technically citizens of a foreign country(I would imagine Italy is slightly ahead of Israel here) through descent.

Sure, but the different non white groups may not like whites, but they hate each other. The blacks meeting an indian(or oriental, but that's a lot less likely) boss will beg for the klan to come be in charge again. The Hispanics often won't accept a black manager. Etc, etc.

I mean I'm given to understand that tattooing 'I am evil' on your face is pretty specific to el salvadorean gangs and so it's a lot harder to replicate that strategy elsewhere.

That's implausible because the two red lines for the feds are... extremely conservative attitudes towards women and antisemitism. Nick is, as far as I can tell, completely genuine- he's an antisemite, closeted homosexual, simply doesn't have the same concern about Hispanic immigration as the far far right(which is often hung up on stupidity like deporting a third of the country anyway).

I mean, personally, I want Russia to get a major victory soon so the war ends. I supported Ukraine in early 22, when it looked like Ukraine might be able to win. I think you're missing this large segment of the population that just wants the war to end and doesn't care about eastern european ethnic politics in your 'pro-Russian' steelman.

In the current American market, yes, but fattened meat has often been more expensive in history.

Processed food(here used broadly to include things like bread as well as sodas and lean cuisine) and beef are a majority of most Americans' grocery bills, and those things are much more expensive regardless of the cost of staples like potatoes and milk.

Everyone hates health insurance companies because their premiums keep going up and the system is a pain to deal with. It's not complicated.

These guys are both edgelords with generally libertarian sympathies. The edgelord thing means they say a lot of stuff that doesn't play well in the media; that's not a surprise.
Polis is serving his last term as governor but he almost certainly has at least dimly entertained national ambitions, because he's a governor with a national profile. So why did he point to thinkers he sometimes disagrees with? Probably to try to create an impression of himself as being willing to listen to people he doesn't agree with. In Colorado, non-progressives are generally more libertarian than conservative, Lauren Boebert is more 'guns' than 'God'. It's no wonder he'd reach towards libertarians who write in sophisticated ways. I'm not sure why he didn't predict that their open defense of dating/having sex with older teens as an adult, AI child porn, and occasional defense of racism would dominate a media discussion of this idea, but libertarian public intellectuals are generally very spicy and even very spicy libertarians are likely more palatable to Jared Polis, as a gay man, than very thoughtful and nuanced classical conservatives like Ross Douthat.

No, they're still pacifists. They just bow and accept cartel rule; it makes no difference to them to whom they pay taxes.

The Amish do not have late medieval tech, their tech level depends on community size but something like ‘victorian’ is probably fair as a rule of thumb, with quite a few exceptions. The Amish are not luddites, they have limitations on relying on non-community members that force them to live off grid. Some communities have electricity and tractors.
