children should be catereted to when making a family movie
Also their most likely heterosexual parents, I'd be more inclined to take my kids if everyone is easy on the eyes.

Buffy
How much agency did Buffy have? She didn't choose to be the slayer, nor was she the 'brains' of the operation.
How do you put a female protagonist in a story
Give her visions from God, Jeanne d’Arc style.

girlboss feminism
respect or admire or empathize with a woman on the basis of her actions in the world or the way she wields power
Only very rarely. Does Phyllis Schlafly count?
More often I find the choices made by girl bossing feminists to only be coherent in the context of girl bossing feminism, which I find to be a poor fit for our consensus reality.
I see it leading to poor outcomes and don't entirely understand why otherwise seemingly intelligent women that take this path fail to see the deep tail 'success' they believe has been promised is rare.
It's my perception of her poor choices that precludes my respect for actions.

speech patterns and tics
Would you also include vocal fry and upspeak as examples of this?
successful social revolution in history
Successful it what sense?
It's not done much for black family formation.
was not the doing of elites
Have noticed the coincidence of the non-black founders of organizations like the NAACP?

people will malfunction
I see this as a feature not a bug.
Also there are both meanings of homo in the outcomes of globohomo.
terrible idea
said nothing
I see at least one or two bad to terrible ideas a week. I don't have the political capital, emotional energy, or fucks to give to say something for every bad idea. At best I can prevent the ones that impact me, my team, and my immediate manager.
There's often no reward for the prevention of failure of others.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Tell me globohomo ruins travel without saying globohomo.
If skiing is an interest I've found the https://snowheads.com/ forum to be very useful especially for Europe.

sterilize criminals
You'd need to get them early. Offer vasectomies as the diversion program for first-time violent offenders, or accept nominations into the program from their high schools or truant officers.
more broadly palatable options
I may be misremembering. I seem to recall a minor skirmish in the 90's culture wars around billboards in California that were advertising cash payments for volunteering to be sterilized.
It seems we pay the underclass to reproduce now, would we see better outcomes if we paid them not to?

parents of politically salient skin color
Worse, the system is redesigned to not punish anyone. Not the dumb black kids, dumb Hispanic kids or dumb white kids.

My experience has been:
shift over time, with the woman beginning to express right-wing opinions and either not noticing or not acknowledging the way in which these opinions contradict her earlier views
There is no difference between those two things
sustainable if the woman does not have a larger social sphere of women who will reinforce progressive views
This seems to lessen, as she finds and identifies with other non-progressive women.

It's a career that often doesn't map well to home / family life. Before we moved, looking at her senior colleagues we were hard pressed to find success stories, large families, intact marriages and successful careers.
It would have been nice for her to have the option. Though I think the money can be kind of a trap too. As DINK we didn't really have to think much about our spending. Now we're much more aware, and watch more closely.
Combo, but more complicated. She was working as a junior doctor. It looked like she was getting stuck as an NCHD, despite jumping through a number of hoops, research PhD, etc. We wanted to buy somewhere, housing was really expensive. She took full maternity leave but once that ended we were both working full time and the kids were in creche, nearly full time. I had suggested retooling our lives to realign how we were living. Housing was better value. If she wasn't going to work, there were tax advantages in the US. She'd worked on being able to practice in the US, passed the USMLE but didn't match (no interviews).
Our 3rd was born 9 months after we closed on the house, the 4th 2 years after the 3rd.
She prefers it now, at the time, there were some rough days. We were together in rental accommodation for ~8 months following 6 months apart save 4 weeks, as I needed to take up my new position before her visa was issued. If I had to do it again I'd really want to shrink the time apart and in the rental.
She wants to homeschool the kids next year.

It's my perception, possibly misperception, that Michael's is less globohomo than Amazon. They're a local option for many, as they have a large physical retail foot print.
I think the few art smocks we own are from IKEA, which are both globohomo and Nazi, so maybe it's a wash.
What do you sell? Do you have a non-Amazon storefront? Do you use FBA too?
I'd like a webshop exclusive to disaffected right wing sellers.
In terms of our social life, travel, DINK lifestyle, etc. The 2nd had blown-up that. We bought a lager house in the ex-burbs, a used SUV, and my wife became a SAHM then we had number 3 and 4 and briefly entertained the idea of 5, likely would have happened if we were younger. I should add that this coincided with a relocation from a western Europe capitol city to New England.
I think thoughtful competent people should absolutely have as many children as they can manage.

unlike gangbangers and petty criminals, they’ve thought through the endgame and rationally calculated it doesn’t make sense.
That's a possibility. It's also possible that you or the gangbangers could decide to carry; as the risk, felony conviction / prison is better than death which is the risk of not carrying. Many criminals are in a dangerous vocation.
It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6 is true for criminal and non-criminal alike.

Amazon, is all-in on globohomo.
You could buy from the Chinese directly.
Michael's has a selection but no unicorns.
I try to avoid spending money with businesses that hate me or would tell my daughter it's ok to be a whore.
I try, to love my neighbor as I love myself. It was difficult to love myself when I accepted with a shrug my own moral failings. Demanding more of myself has led me to expect more of of others. We're not expected to enable the sloth or sin of others.
Are your neighbors children orphans?

Their Twitter account briefly thought it was a good idea to wade into the commentary on the Miller Lite commercial.
As an actual woman typing this, I’ll use more words for you to comprehend: using bunnies to sell products is trash marketing. Supporting women by not doing this is good.
The tweets were swiftly deleted and followed with the roadsign tweet.
I don't think it's an apology that's required. Also the 'apologies' I've seen were non-apologies and minimizations, that it wasn't even an ad campaign. This I think largely misses the point.
Their customers it seems largely don't want to drink globohomo beer. The not an ad campaign was a bridge too far.
A HK style, we don't do idpol would have been better.

Globohomo is neocolonialism. It's pushed by more than our corporate overlords. It's the state religion of PMC women, homosexuals and their allies.

but if we were able to screen every immigrant
What would have to happen in America to make this true?
You admit it's a big if, it sounds more like an impossible dream to me.
We don't even get everyones name now.

Yes and practiced lawfare and lobbying for 55 years prior to the CRA of 1964. It wasn't non-elites arguing these cases.
If your criteria for success of an act of congress is that it makes illegal the behavior you don't like, I guess it's it's been a success.
