I mean to be clear, zoning regulations are almost universally the way they are because people don’t pay attention to them. That’s true both in low-zoning regulation cities like Houston and high-zoning regulation cities.

I believe the Boy Scouts require their troops to be single sex, for obvious reasons relating to liability and chaperoning policies.

I have literally never heard of a female groyper. Antisemitic women like Candace owens instead.

A kind of low-IQ antisemite.

In practice, that would just gum up the housing market and prices would ossify at a high level, because noone wants to take a loss.

You need a higher credit score and a bigger down payment to qualify for one.

Wait, you live in the Dutch bible belt?
If your ancestors belonged to a church with creeds, they almost certainly knew it- they might not have understood it, but the illiterate villagers in rural France would hear 'Credo in Deum...' every Sunday morning. The ability to recite large portions of the mass from memory was very widespread and before very recent times, liturgical churches usually translated basic prayers into the common vernacular(which often wasn't the same as the prestige dialect formal liturgies might have a translation into) before the bible and had the peasants memorize them.

one of the earliest Christian texts (the Didache) specifies that Christians are not to commit abortion: this is a stance the largest church in the world (the Catholic church) still agrees with, and the largest Protestant denomination, at least in the United States, also agrees with it
Not only is it the stance of the largest church in the world, it's also the stance of the next largest(Eastern Orthodox), and the fourth largest(oriental Orthodox), and a big chunk of the third largest(Anglican communion).

The medieval mediterranean's main religious groups banned the sale of slaves of their group to other group. Do the math.
There was also a large slave trade from still pagan parts of Europe into the Muslim world mediated by Italian traders(particularly Venetians- this is part of the reason that Venetians have such a bad reputation in older literature), but this was legal. The sale of Christian indentured servants as slaves in the Muslim world was dwarfed by Muslim raiding but when it happened, the perpetrators were Jewish.

Medieval antisemitism included a number of tropes, some of them straight up falsehood('blood libel' literally was invented to describe the claim that the Jewish religion runs on the human sacrifice of Christian children) and some of them more or less true(Jews really did lend money at high interest rates, really were the main conduit for the trade in slaves out of the Christian world and into the Muslim one, etc).
Islamic antisemitism stems from, among other things, their end times prophecy.

So, the usual main example is the Episcopal church, which has always been the least devout denomination- although ACNA and the Catholic ordinariates indicate that progressivism is an explanatory factor for it doing unusually poorly. Likewise the ELCA's decline mostly tracks declining religiosity among German-Americans. But Methodists were actually a very healthy denomination before they went progressive, and the ELCA contrasts with America's other two Lutheran denominations(which are both healthy confessional churches). The Presbyterians are another example that isn't just explained by 'yeah, this church was always full of people that didn't really believe'.

Trad websites/blogs/media outlets- FSSPXnews, Fisheaters, Rorate Caeli, the Remnant.
People- Fr Dave Nix(one of the few hardliner priests you can find on twitter), Michael Matt(editor of the Remnant), Gabriel Sanchez, Edward Hapsburg(yes, one of those Hapsburgs).

There was a late Victorian right wing heterodox intellectual movement- the oxford revival. High church Anglicanism is mostly downstream from it today, including the parts that eventually became Catholic(this latter part was not, contrary to the criticisms in 1900, inevitable, but rather historically contingent on the Anglican communion deciding to have gay bishops).

It's worth noting that 'not being an antisemite' is a historical anomaly. I'm not saying anything for or against the Jews here, just that there's clearly a lot of people they rub the wrong way.

Oh dear, as an actual literal rad trad is this a dynamic I'm familiar with. Groypers like traditional Catholicism- far more than vice versa, we mostly think Nick Fuentes' brain is rotting from aids- because we are a bit antisemitic, very socially conservative, and distinctively western(and proud of it). We do not like their attitudes towards women(we think they actually hate them, rather than recognizing their different role in the order of creation). We're skeptical of their piety. Actual rad trads are often shocked by the things twitter tradcaths put their name behind(and DR twitter has a running joke about how they don't actually go to church- actual rad trad twitter is a different world) and are not happy to be associated with spicy DR takes about race or whatever. When this happens out loud in real life there can be fallouts and shunning rather than flame wars.

I'm apparently wrong about that one; my assumption had been that smart wordcels took classics degrees(IIRC classics and philosophy have average IQ's on par with the physics department) but apparently English is as rigorous as history and most of the 'Mrs. degree' and 'what degree doesn't require math?' type switch to psychology or ethnic studies.

And indeed, "25-year-old girl": #Fightfor35.
Girl just refers to an unmarried woman in this context. Similar to 'senorita'.

I mean, if the Chinese censorship apparatus works off of blacklists, the motte is probably just too small to be listed.

Yes, that’s why I said ‘or’. They didn’t have a psychology or communications department.

Medicare expansion, tax cuts for stay at home moms, and routing charitable grants through explicitly Christian organizations(which worked well enough that there isn’t a constituency for rolling it back) are the three big successes, so yeah.

I believe history, philosophy, classics etc are still reasonable IQ proxies- dummies get degrees in, like, English or something that wouldn’t have been recognized as a fit subject for academic study in 1900.

But the point of a four year degree, for the ones people actually get, is proving you can answer emails, use grammarly, keep drama to a minimum, etc. Not showing mathematical literacy.
It’s possible that standards for a bachelor’s in English/psychology/communications/etc have been so reduced that it doesn’t even do that. But that is a different argument than ‘they don’t learn calculus’- that’s what ‘for non-math majors’ means, we already knew.
…Thé religion.
I don’t post about it to the motte, because this is an argument forum, and I would flame people replying to my posts with blasphemy. But I am religious for the religion. Having a natural fertility bubble is nice, Jesus is better.
