The Donald Trump-appointed judge’s

Confirmed 98-0 by the senate. This guilt by association for judges is ridiculous. Yes, Republicans also appoint judges when in office. No, those judges are not uniquely compromised.

The idea that the government should step into that

Public universities are, well, public. Once my tax dollars get roped into this I would like the government to be a wise steward of our finances. So I would like the government to police its own institutions.

I had the misfortune of going to grad school. I can hardly exaggerate the sneering contempt for Chinese research papers among American researchers. I've evaluated quite a few Chinese papers since graduating and confirm their general lack of quality and rigor.

I'm pretty blackpilled on Chinese research output. They can't be all wrong, but if you were evaluating research papers a great rule of thumb would be to blindly assume that Chinese papers were all wrong.

Yeah. It is a matter of routine for politicians or rich people who are strong advocates for gun control to have private armed security and even concealed carry licenses. Famously Dianne Feinstein had a CCW issued in San Francisco, which is about as common as unicorns when it comes to exclusive gun rights.

They don't want to disarm all of society. They want unimportant people like you and me to be disarmed. Important people such as them and their important possessions will still be defended with privately owned guns.

Agreed. Why is an American teacher flying a foreign flag?

I could understand a Japanese flag in Japanese language class or something. But just flying a foreign flag in some unrelated class is jivey at best.

the make up of colleges since the 2000s

Women outnumbered men in college since the early 80s. I bet most people posting here never lived in an era in which men outnumbered women in college.

When my wife was pregnant she was pretty weepy. She'd cry over sad news stories, etc. She'd never do that normally.

Maybe this woman is a "Karen" performatively crying as a means of social control. Or maybe in that forceful confrontation after a work shift and far into pregnancy, she honestly cried.

The process is the punishment. Even if their imminent convictions are overturned because of the first Ammendment, they will have been enormously harmed by the long and expensive trial.

The heroes in ‘Starship Troopers’ are two White men leading the multicultural coalition of Earth against the brutalistic ‘bugs’

I read Starship Troopers. It is 100% from the point of view of the protagonist Juan Rico who is from the Philippines. He mumbles something in tagalog at one point and a non-Filipino character asks him what language that is.

pay their fair share

Such a poisoned statement. So often used as an excuse to weaponize taxation. At this point I interpret it as the opposite of its literal meaning.

CNN went big on the Steele Dossier. They don't need AI generated fake content. They already deliver old fashioned handmade artisanal fake content.

They seriously discussed a bit of (erotic?) fiction in which Trump paid Russian prostitutes to pee on a bed and then slept in the piss bed in order to defile something that Obama once used.

What about the Hibernian conspiracy?

And more.

Yet more.

Women outnumbered men in degrees around 2010 if you count everyone over age 25 rather than just recently awarded degrees.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/young-men-college-decline-gender-gap-higher-education/620066/

The statistics are stunning. But education experts and historians aren’t remotely surprised. Women in the United States have earned more bachelor’s degrees than men every year since the mid-1980s

Women outnumbered men in degrees awarded per year since the 80s and as older people die off women had most degrees for all adults including elderly retirees in 2010 or so.

So regarding the "makeup of colleges": that's mostly women since the 80s.

Every now and then it leaks that some German military group has a private chat where they post nationalist memes and comments. The sorts of people proactively seeking to join German defense forces are commonly German nationalists. Not really a profound point.

But, this is always characterized as far right, Nazi adjacent groups have infiltrated German police and military. I suspect a more level-headed reframing would be "nationalists who generally lean right of course compose a disproportionate amount of the door-kickers and spec ops". They're not a bunch of tender progressive PMC types and that's not a coincidence. Their manners and interests are largely opposed to the PMC, and that doesn't mean the PMC is better or somehow in the right here.

So it seems denigrating the attitudes and norms of the warrior class is popular in America and other Western countries.

the local Minnesota Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter condemning the professor as Islamophobic

Yes, standard accusations of Islamophobia. But also:

“If you want to know how people respond, you've seen what happened in the horrible tragedies of Charlie Hebdo..."

-Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations

They have defined "whiteness" as a set of cultural norms. That Smithsonian museum infographic made the mistake of plainly stating the claims of academics in an easy to read format. Plenty of serious academics claim the same things, but that's not easily viewed by the general public so they aren't subjected to the same public derision.

an inappropriate relationship with a teenager

Or as I like to call 19 year olds: adults allowed to fuck each other in private if they want to. Just in case any drive by readers misinterpret "teenager" to mean close to 13 rather than almost 20.

I would expect you to shoot someone by accident, perhaps 1 in 100 times

Good on trying to state an order of magnitude estimate, but this one is massively off.

I agree induction is great. I had an induction stove and loved it. My wife is an immigrant and induction doesn't work with the kinds of pans she likes. We bought a new stove.

Please don't ban things without a compelling reason. Your and my personal preference are not valid reasons.

But don't delete posts just because they're downvoted. That's a one way trip to a boring echo chamber.

Post locally unpopular views that you sincerely hold and then don't be too bothered by the negative points. Reddit has trained people to be bad posters. Let's resist importing their diseased posting culture.

But they'll impose ruinous confiscatory taxes on people like me before the welfare state collapses.

This is my problem with accelerationism. I suppose it could "work" for some understanding of "working". But it has a decent chance of also breaking the mechanisms that allow me to easily obtain food, live in a society that doesn't routinely engage in horrific mass slaughters, etc.

For what it's worth I already considered the ADL and PETA to be birds of a feather. There's some real and sensible point behind both of them. And then there's the looney hyperbolic extremism they both show.

Prior to the last two concluding statements, this seems like a take that DEI people would largely nod along with

The Smithsonian museum's poster about "white culture" was exactly this.
