Singapore is the only country that learned the correct lessons from the British Empire.
The neighborhood of Hampstead is just at present exercised with a series of events which seem to run on lines parallel to those of what was known to the writers of headlines and "The Kensington Horror," or "The Stabbing Woman," or "The Woman in Black." During the past two or three days several cases have occurred of young children straying from home or neglecting to return from their playing on the Heath. In all these cases the children were too young to give any properly intelligible account of themselves, but the consensus of their excuses is that they had been with a "bloofer lady." It has always been late in the evening when they have been missed, and on two occasions the children have not been found until early in the following morning. It is generally supposed in the neighborhood that, as the first child missed gave as his reason for being away that a "bloofer lady" had asked him to come for a walk, the others had picked up the phrase and used it as occasion served. This is the more natural as the favorite game of the little ones at present is luring each other away by wiles. A correspondent writes us that to see some of the tiny tots pretending to be the"bloofer lady" is supremely funny. Some of our caricaturists might, he says, take a lesson in the irony of grotesque by comparing the reality and the picture. It is only in accordance with general principles of human nature that the "bloofer lady" should be the popular role at these al fresco performances.

Concern about female fidelity has always been a prominent feature of wartime propaganda. But, this takes it to a new level, since the women are in a different country, making new, better lives for themselves. How many will ever even return to Ukraine?
And then in the very next breath Westerners complain about how the vast majority of refugee migrants initially coming to the west from the middle east etc. tend to be men. They fail to realise that it's not just a way to allow the women to take the easier route via plane once their family members have settled down but also a very good method of ensuring their chastity and honor stay intact and no suspicion can be laid upon their feet.
Everything we say and do makes complete rational sense. We're just starting from a different (and I would argue, better) set of axioms than you.

Or when their political future is now determined by the flood of migrants which repopulates the region, as opposed to their coethnics in Moscow.
Bold of you to assume that the plan isn't to repopulate both Ukraine and Russia once their mutual destruction is complete. Imagine the glory of taking over both the ancient Slavic "center of the world" Kiev as well as the modern one, Moscow. And the best part of it all will be how bloodless and peaceful our conquest will be, nay it will be even better, it will be done with the full consent of the conquered. Much like Rurik's original arrival into Novgorod back in 862, they are going to invite us to come over and rule over them. Could you ask for anything better?
Sometimes I ask myself: "Are we Gog and Magog?"; but nah, that's too farfetched and fantastical...

Nah, I believe I have a duty to let people know there are better alternatives than the current social system state they are stuck in and pointing out situations in which our system would have outperformed your system is a particularly good way to do so. Islam is a proselytising religion after all you know...
contaminating yourself with the filthy Westerner mindset
Oh boy, It's way too late for me on that front, I'm already 80%+ western at this moment in time and I'd expect my future trajectory won't shift me much from here. Plus it's not like the West doesn't have a lot of good things going for it, it's just that Westerners don't need to be told about them because they already follow them to some extent. They need to be told about the good things they don't yet subscribe to.
My preferred system is not the one we have back home, it's a syncretic mix of that and the western system, biased if anything more towards the western way.

The future of Ukraine is Somali and Bangladeshi migrants working on farms owned by American financial institutions and managed by HR women educated in the US.
Still beats becoming a vassal state of Russia. Europe really needs to get off its ass and start arming the Ukrainians properly (it's understandable why the US doesn't seem to care, but Europe doesn't have the same luxury of distance). Yes, this will cost lots of money, but Europe can easily raise this money by massively slashing welfare and benefit spending.

It means that nature herself is racist, and reparations are owed in the form of IQ-increasing genetic engineering disproportionally paid for by white people and East Asians.
I genuinely think that if it were presented in these terms far more white people would be open to the idea of reparations: "Gnon was cruel to you, and to atone for our slavery we are going to raise you to the same level as ourselves" <- Very few people could reasonably object to this.

Bob puts a gun to the head of Alice and says you either consent to sex with me right now or I shoot. Alice, who wants to live, makes a rational decision and says yes and then Bob has sex with her. According to your definition what just happened wasn't rape. However most people would absolutely say that it was.

Well then their hand will have to be forced into it and I can't think of a better force at the moment than the threat of annihilation and subjugation by the Russian bear.
Europe took the "peace dividend" at the end of the cold war and spent it on welfare rather than using it to cut taxes to the levels they were at before WWII, now that dividend is going away and the only place to get this money back is to slash welfare to the levels it was at many decades ago.

The Chinese and Indian women I work with take full advantage of the generous FAANG benefits to help produce and take care of children.
This is basically my plan on what I'd like me and my future wife to do once I get married and we have children. Basically I coach her (if she needs coaching, I can't imagine I would ever marry a woman who doesn't have it in her to get hired at a FAANG if pushed, even if she's a doctor or something) to get a decent job at one of these big companies (finance jobs don't work here, your ability to take from the company if you're not putting in is much more limited, you have to have a big institution where the system is not set up to deal with such a mindset and can't change easily to suck at the teat of), then she gets pregnant and has a child and we keep drawing her full salary plus large maternity benefits for us and then soon after she returns to work she gets pregnant again and we repeat the process. Rinse and repeat until our family is at the desired size. Getting paid FAANG money to raise kids is about as excellent a lifestyle as most women can hope for, plus all those years on maternity technically count as "experience" so if she does want to work once our kids are old enough she has a decent CV still present.

The UK I'm sure has it's equivalent.
Deliveroo riders.
These are recent immigrants who left their family back home to try and get a slightly better life for themselves, however the amount of vitriol aimed at them from all quarters of the white british establishment (high and low) is something to behold. You can make reasonable complaints about them (such as their moped driving being absolutely terrible and a potential danger to public safety because for some reason known only to God and the British state it's possible to drive a moped without a full driving licence as long as you put a big red L on your vehicle) but the attacks coming at them frequently seem to be little more than attacking them for its own sake.
While I personally don't like them either (I also don't dislike them, they just are there) at the very least they know how to properly say "Thank you Sir" when handing over your food, which to me places them above a majority of the "native" people of the UK.

I don't know how the FOSS world can evolve to a more egalitarian, democratic world.
If this happens the end result for FOSS will be even worse than what we have at the moment. Both of the two things you write of generally lead to shittier end results (the first one basically tautologically, the second one because the demos is generally shittier than those who have the will to power in them to create great things in the first place).

Perhaps you can suggest something like Orchid prenatal polygenic screening to them where they can choose to implant an embryo with low risk of inheriting the condition?

I am pretty sure that the school is for the underclass/lower class.
Yep. It's non selective and draws its pupils from a known poor area full of poor people. It's not somewhere I'd want to send my future children too (it would stifle them) but its policies and ethos are excellent for turning little shits (who have nothing in them to be stifled in the first place) into decent if unremarkable members of society, I want to see 100x of these schools all over the country.

Most of us wouldn't casually sign up to watch a 300 hour long movie, or the same 3-hour movie 100 times, but we download these video games without a second thought.
300 hours is nothing... Get on my level, I have 3,000+ hours in just Dota.

The grooming gang predators need to be whipped on a weekly basis followed by a promise upon release that if they ever get caught again it'll be immediate castration plus twice the sentence they just served. It's the only language they understand.
Unfortunately Westerners are too far gone at this point and will not listen to groups that have actual historical experience of properly subjugating the excesses of these people. At this point what can you even do...

it’s the obvious fact that black people have much more dominant genes than everyone else
Yeah, this is obvious BS. There are lots and lots of traits which are dominant and more present in whites compared to Africans, e.g. the gene for Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (this is what causes favism in such people who consume fava beans) which is more prevalent in Africans is recessive X-linked.
Well, when we have the western white right wing on a complete hair trigger to the point where using a stock photo of a Muslima is enough to trigger something that wouldn't be out of place at a Klan rally you do start to wonder where else they may be hallucinating about Chinese Robbers in commericals.
