"Even war, that most quintessential of masculine activities, is probably a thing of the past. For war you need a large supply of young men. With the great demographic collapse of modern times, that supply is drying up. Soft, feminized, over-civilized, under-militarized societies of the past were likely to be jolted back into vigor, or just overrun, by warriors from the wild places. Now there are no more wild places. While one should never be complacent about these things, and it is possible that a starship fleet of unwashed plunderers, cutlasses in their teeth and knives in their boots, is on its way from Alpha Centauri even as I write, the odds are good that the human race ain't gonna study war no more." - John Derbyshire, 2001

I don't know about Thailand but this definitely isn't the first major school shooting in Russia.

I think it bears mentioning here that Black hip-hop and the ghetto thug culture markedly does not originate in the American South, nor does the existence of racially self-segregated decaying urban cores.

As far as I know it was definitely not civil disobedience that Mandela was imprisoned for.

Well, the last time broadly lefty US citizens felt compelled to obstruct government agents was a really long time ago, so she probably lacks any point of reference.

I think it'd make sense here for you to explain in a bit more detail what the word "system" exactly entails here.

If you Google this, AI will helpfully tell you the government's response was 'brutal.' I guess letting the poor girls die is the humane thing to do. Oh, wait!
I guess Google AI was also designed by feminists. Very obviously it seems to presuppose that the only humane thing to do in this situation was to accept that the Suffragettes are on the right side of history, yield to them, and then roll over and die.

I imagine plenty of normal, average people are undecided voters, so that certainly is plausible. However, as humans are only rarely persuaded by facts, logic and reason in a real sense, I'd say such normies exist, but are a small minority. A normie is, by definition, someone not exposed to anything outside the mainstream, be that anything of political nature or not.

His specialty is an classics, specifically the military history of the Roman republic. That's a very old-school, white male coded, conservative interest.
Noted. But can't the same be said about anyone specializing in ancient Rome in general, ancient Greece in general and not just Sparta, or the Middle Ages in general, for example, or even military history as a whole?
So I guess the Left largely believes that the legislative branch is somehow beyond their influence?
