And that's also assuming that cutting spending so drastically wouldn't have negative second and third order effects on the overall economy that lowered tax revenues in the process.

I haven't kept up with his content in recent years but my goto for his classics is Paradigm Shift 2070, where he tricked the organizers of a TedX conference into thinking he was some genius young entrepreneur so they let him speak. His talk includes things like teaching African refugees JavaScript on ipads, state-mandated homosexuality, and farming cheesy sea potatoes that will blow your socks off on the ocean floor:

As someone struggling with infertility, if there was some magical way to turn ball kicking into having kids I'd gladly take it despite the pain (in reality ball kicking tends to have the opposite effect).
abortion can avoid it
If I hit a hobo while driving drunk I can avoid the consequences of my actions by finishing him off with a brick to the head and hiding his body in the woods. Murder lets you get away from the consequences of all sorts of things, provided you can hide the evidence well enough. Fortunately for women, we've decided to make avoiding accountability for their decisions via murder legal in the case of pregnancy, and some segments of society even actively celebrate their right to murder to avoid accountability!
Or "Western countries are about to be overrun by invading immigrants, it's already a civil war, unless we act we are going to be enslaved by Muslims in a short time" and then breaking kayfabe when someone takes up guns and starts fighting the said civil war form the nationalist side.
Counterpoint: I wish a mothafucka would. Unfortunately right-wing nationalist violence often seems to manifest as mass shootings carried out by clearly mentally unstable people that target the entirely wrong targets. I.e. random people in a school or grocery store instead of assassinations targeting politicians, the leadership of NGOs that help illegal migrants illegally migrate, etc
If a nationalist took up arms and actually targeted relevant targets I think you'd see a lot more sympathy instead of what you call breaking kayfabe. See, for example, the lionization that Timothy McVeigh gets from certain corners of the gun rights crowd. If he hadn't blown up a daycare in the process I think support for him would have been even more widespread. McVeigh claimed he was unaware of the daycare in the building, meanwhile one of his co-conspirator claims they did know and didn't care, no easy way to know who is telling the truth.

Not sure on the specific context that led to Lindsay making such an unhinged sounding tweet but here it is: https://x.com/ConceptualJames/status/1840510556056195340

Biggest problem with the toxin-based heart attack gun is that it's easily detectable by coroners, so long as they actually bother to look for it. If your target is old or unhealthy enough (or you grease the coroner's palms) then you have a chance of it going unnoticed.

Still, as Jesus said, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
That's Spock. And Star Trek 3 and 4 completely (and explicitly) undermine that idea
The problem is they are doing one of the single most strongly male-coded things in existence, up there with working on boilers etc. That the best people in a field that is essentially 100% male (I've literally never heard of any female emulator devs despite following the scene for decades) would claim they're actually female in their brains is the strongest evidence against it being real that I can imagine.
Edit: When I tried to search Google for female emulator developers the only relevant result I got was for a tranny working on Dolphin that committed suicide. I'd be surprised if the female:male ratio that have even written a simple CHIP-8 emulator, let alone something more complicated and technical, is more than 1:100000

it's trivially true that social contagion plays an astounding part, as well as fetishism and abuse, and autism
I don't have any hard numbers to give you here, but one of the strongest pieces of evidence for me personally about transness mot being an inherent part of who you are is the autism->hyper-sexualized autogynephilia pipeline. Specifically a certain field of technology that I have closely followed for about 30 years is the biggest source of evidence for this: video game emulator development. Emulator developers aren't inherently always destined to be trannies, but the more talented they are the more likely they are to be a tranny (and/or a furry and/or all sorts of paraphilias generally).
Name the lead devs of a successful emulator (i.e. high accuracy and/or amazing performance) and in 80% of cases I can find lurid details of their weird fetishes for you. Off the top of my head Byuu/Near (SNES amongst others), Endrift (GBA amongst others), and the guy who made MelonDS (can't be bothered to look him up) are all trannies. Basically everyone on the Dolphin (Gamecube/Wii emulator) team are notorious sexual deviants. One of the only devs of a successful emulator I can't find anything about is SourMesen (dev of Mesen, a great NES emulator). He seems smart enough to not get involved in personal drama on the internet at least.
And this goes beyond just emulation, the sortsof people who get hyper into low level coding/hardware/hacking stuff tend to be deviants too, emulator devs just seem to be one of the most purely distilled examples of this tendency.
My experience with these sorts of people has probably been the strongest blocker for me accepting the trans lobby's claims regarding the nature of transness, potentially even a stronger blocker than my religious beliefs. Their claims just don't match with a much more obvious connection to me: turbo-autism leading to sexual devisncy including AGP.

Except Linus is from the ethnic minority of Finns that are native Swedish speakers. Further reinforcing the conspiracy theory that Finland is an imaginary country made up by the Swedes.

Basically, but instead of being single because she decided to date a ghetto thug who left her the moment he found out she was pregnant, she became single because the father had to have a buck naked swordfight on top of a volcano against his uncle to avenge his father's murder and secure Olga and their children against future possible reprisals from his uncle.
Anya Taylor-Joy's character in The Northman was a slave taken from raids on other lands. The raid the protagonist is taking part in when he finds out about his uncle and then runs off to take revenge is a raid on Garðaríki, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gar%C3%B0ar%C3%ADki
Not Scandinavia.
Also her character is meant to be Olga of Kiev: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev

But crucially, it's not because women are sleeping around, because they're not sleeping around.
Your link isn't about sleeping around, and even if you want to try and infer that the numbers aren't broken out by gender

This isn't a new issue. Most infamous to me are the Smoot hearings. Note that Smoot himself was not a polygamist, so this was essentially at attempt to expel a senator over his beliefs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Smoot_hearings

At least in the US, colloquially they aren't called influenza vaccines, they're called "flu shots." Not sure on the origin of not calling them vaccines but my assumption has always been that it's because they don't reliably immunize against or prevent the flu.

Institutional cycles of growth and decay. To some extent of course people were writing about this in 'Decline of the West' and 'Hard times -> Strong men' but the knowledge hasn't widely circulated.
Within my church (Latter-day Saint i.e. Mormon) this has been common knowledge among members for almost 200 years. One of the main themes of the Book of Mormon is what we call the "pride cycle." People follow God and are blessed with peace and prosperity, their prosperity causes them to forget God and become prideful in their own accomplishments (instead of giving the credit to God), and this causes them to be brought low by God (whether through external invasion by the Lamanites, internal dissent/civil war, or other things like famine etc.).
These ideas are also present in the Bible (Deuteronomy 11 is one of the better examples) but the nature of the cycle is far more explicit in the Book of Mormon.

Last I checked, Muslims commit about 4% of the domestic terrorism despite being only 1% of the population.
You're only looking federally (and even then I'd say the GOP still has a slight edge because they're less willing to waste money on patently obviously useless spending like trans operas in Latin America etc.). But at the state and local levels, the GOP is clearly the party of fiscal responsibility, as can be seen by comparing debt levels (absolute and per capita) between various strongly blue vs strongly red states and cities.
