"Good news everyone! Income inequality has really decreased in the past few years. Bad news: everything is now really expensive relative to your inflation-adjusted wage."

Okay. So it is not 100.0% parasitism. But are they economically net positive? The US East coast ultra orthodox communities that I'm vaguely aware of are net negative if I understand correctly. As you say, they subsist on welfare fraud and have large families of severely inbred special needs children.

There's an obvious point that various contrary factions are pushing and pulling the government. So push to get the laws you want or be stuck with the laws they want. Whoever "they" are in any context.
And laws are very sticky, so there's a huge first mover advantage.

Or alternatively preemptively use state coercion to force your way before they do. Ban their stuff before they ban ours.
And for the many people who seem to view the state as a club meant to smash the heads of people with different preferences, that's generally their apparent goal.

In some vague sense we'd be on the slope. Vegans aren't shy about describing how horrific any form of raising animals is. There'd be a push to ban the real thing once an alternative existed.

I keep seeing posts in my neighborhood about coyotes. "A coyote went through my yard", "Watch out at night, my camera saw a bunch of coyotes running around", etc.
Everyone, yes, I know there are coyotes around here. It is filled with coyotes. Please stop saying you saw one. They are all around every night and sometimes at day. This isn't news. And your little dog that's been missing for a few days was eaten by coyotes the first night it was out.

I blame cell phones. I'd be a better motteposter if I was on my PC.
And as you say: add a distracted teen to the phone problem and quality is horrible compared to an adult looking at a computer screen.

shift hard and fast to the Right and mean it
This is not going to happen. But also I predict almost all American jews will not move to Israel. The author is really setting up a false choice here.
"Send the police at them"? For what? If you mean enforcing public camping bans, then I'm fine with that. Not clear in what other sense the police would be sent after them.

Perhaps you could proactively explain how these malicious actors got to him. I also don't suppose these bad people made his wife sick or made him take drugs.

ring video of him berating his pregnant wife for taking the car when he needed it or something
I heard the audio and it was egregious. Articles about it may sound like hit pieces because of how very bad he sounds in that recording.

Maybe you could criminalise all sexual conduct that is also possible for same-sex couples
I believe the sodomy laws common until 2003 actually did this. It was hypothetically just as illegal for a man to get his dick sucked by his wife as by another man.
But then those laws were almost never enforced against openly gay men and truly never enforced against straight couples using their mouths or butts.

One of these is not like the others.
In the places I have lived they appear to be extremely strongly correlated.

There was a good thread around here about this a few weeks ago. A white nationalist moves to the Midwest and lives among only all-American whites. He despises them of course.
You'd think Midwesern whites were cattle in the form of men the way he describes it.
In 2018 I moved from a racially diverse swing state in the Sun Belt to a homogenous red state up in corn country. This decision was largely motivated by politics—I was looking to retreat to an imagined Hyperborea free of crime and degeneracy where my volk had political autonomy.
The next two years were the most miserable of my life. But they were also among the most instructive, and ultimately were what made me leave WN on an emotional level.
To put it bluntly, most of my white neighbors and coworkers basically resembled hobbits. They had no ambition to them, nor any aspirations of greatness. Nor did they think about the world in a dynamic way—the more educated among them certainly stayed informed about the wider world, but they largely took it for granted that their immediate universe was a static place where nothing would ever happen.
And the horrifying thing is that’s how they liked it.
I quickly discovered that Midwesterners had no sense of imperial destiny and “right to rule” like you see in New Yorkers, Texans, or Californians. They had nothing like the feisty Faustian individualism of Floridians or “fuck you” pride of Appalachians. They didn’t even have the air of faded glory and gothic tragedy you see in the Deep South. It was nothing but aggressively bland conformity everywhere you looked.
At this point I hope he moved back to his sunbelt home and found a good Mexican woman to marry. He certainly doesn't like (non-hispanic) white women.

Varg certainly does. Literally burning down historical churches and making a whites only pagan tabletop RPG.
Himmler was big on this, but other Nazis made fun of him behind his back about his faux Germanic pagan mystical stuff.

Every single liberal leftist normie-oriented talking head I ever encountered kept repeating for months
Any chance these drooling morons exist almost entirely in your imagination and almost not at all in real life?
Which is weird, because Anduril makes small drones that defensively destroy incoming attacking drones by flying into them. They make actual defensive drones. They don't make Predator or Reaper style drones that are full sized planed that "drone" people with missiles.
