Yeah, it sure does suck when nobody respects court decisions and just does whatever they want in active contempt of those decisions.

Can you really put a price on being the only American citizen to whom the First Amendment meaningfully applies, though?
1- Our rules, fairly: both groups punished [prosecution of BLM rioters will be limited due to multiple factors including widespread public support, taking the L here is politically expedient and ultimately conciliatory]
2- Their rules, fairly: both groups pardoned [we are here now]
3- Their rules, unfairly: one group pardoned, one group condemned [we were here a day ago]
Going from 3 to 2 discourages corruption in the demos just like going from 2 to 1 does.
Ideally, we would have stuck with 1, since going from 2 to 1 is seen as the higher road (against the people but for the laws; though you'll recall this was an argument Charles I used and it didn't go so well for him) whereas going from 3 to 2 costs you support mostly on our side (in this case, our non-corrupt voters can be swayed by one faction's arguments that their corruption was Good, Actually, and then the non-corrupt vote them in and we go from 2 to 3 in an action/reaction cycle, in this case BLM/J6).
It's possible to go from 3 to 1; for example, if one tribune of the plebs (with a corrupt faction of the demos behind him) kills another one (who formed a corrupt faction of the demos behind him as a reaction) the survivor still gets banished. This could have happened on Day 1 of Biden's term, with an effective prosecution of BLM rioters on as flimsy a legal pretense as would be used on J6ers, but of course that's not what happened.

It's the north that needs it desperately.
Texas would therefore be wise to ensure the North continues to depend on Texas industry for its energy production, even in a potential post-hydrocarbon future.
It's not like the North is going to bother developing it, given their current strategy of "ban all development with environmentalism as the excuse, then freeze to death in the dark" means they can't advance nuclear technology even if they wanted to (and their best and brightest have already left for Texas).

Asking people to bend over backwards doesn't make sense to me.
The problem here is that this only goes one way. Respect’s a two way street, and if the response of, say, feminists once they’re on the high side of separate but equal start reinforcing that and solidifying that into privilege, the correct response is the iron fist present in that velvet glove, not further prostration.

It's interesting how he got away way like that making such a brazen kill like that and fleeing into the darkness of the city.
This is why the Inner Party fears weapons in the hands of the Outer Party, by the way. There’s very little you can do to prevent being murdered like this other than not be worth killing, and that’s a tall order for Inner Party members for reasons inherent to being Inner Party.

to report, not to kidnap!
Reporting is just kidnapping by proxy, is intended as kidnapping by proxy (much like swatting is), and children today are at a higher risk of being abducted by the State than they ever were of the more typical criminals.
You want to fix the birth rate, this heckler’s veto needs to go. But then again, parents have gladly, like good conservatives, sat back and had their rights stripped from them over the past 50 years, and that was pretty negligent on its own…
the idea of residential schools at the time was a rather progressive idea
Nothing has changed. The Catholics get it worse simply because they're the easiest target for Progressives to engage (for various reasons). They also tend more often to be actually located on the reserves.
there would be support for it among progressives
Progressives already act like this, with force of law.
What do you think "we'll send Indian Affairs CPS to take your kids away if you use their birth name at home" is?
What do you think "if you complain about the teacher's pet raping your kid, you'll be arrested" is?
What do you think "if you engage in your native customs, like letting your kid outside to play unsupervised, you'll be harassed by the State" is?
They'll beat the Indian out of colonize you eventually.
Remember, land acknowledgements are about forcing you to admit that these colonizers own the land.

This isn’t an insane person, though.
Insane people flail wildly in the general direction of their targets and neglect to bring the proper equipment.
This is very much not that (this person doesn’t seem surprised their pistol doesn’t cycle on its own, and that may even be on purpose since doing that makes it even quieter) especially considering the authorities haven’t caught him yet.
(And, I’m not sure they want to reveal the ability to catch him if they could do it. NSA probably could, but this was only a quasi-government actor so maybe not worth burning the latest in AI classification tech to do it; if this guy is caught, that’s going to be one hell of a parallel construction case.)
and take advantage of all the special rights and privileges we grant women/especially when everyone is aware the law only allows females to use them, and a male would be penalized for trying to slip in, if caught
You kind of bury the lede here, but this is an equity question.
The problem with ex-men and ex-women are that they double-dip in an extremely and intentionally obnoxious -> harmful way.
Ex-men retain the biological specialization for toil while claiming the social benefits we give the people whose sex enables them to birth children. (Men's specialization is general toil, women's specialization is childbirth.) This is why "it's ma'am" and the male schoolteacher with fake breasts so large they'd be a serious medical condition were they real are problems, and it's the root of why their using the wrong bathroom is a big deal (sure, it pattern matches to being a sex pest, but this is the root of why we [can] instinctively only treat men as sex pests when they do this).
Ex-women are a reflection of this, but importantly, not a mirror image- because they become a problem when they assert the advantages men have don't matter, and then can't perform. The mirror image of the obnoxious ex-man screaming "wax my balls, it's ma'am" is not the self-aware/competent tomboy, or even the average ex-woman [that's what the steroids are for], it's the "I'm just as strong as you, that's why I belong on the front lines, there's nothing special about this ability, therefore womankind should not honor men but men should continue to honor womankind".
This is why, instinctively, it's not really an issue for ex-women to use the men's room (especially the ones on steroids), while it is an issue for ex-men to use the women's room. The problem comes from refusing to negotiate this problem in pairs (because we don't understand that men and women are different, or our sociopolitical standing is contingent upon not understanding it).

It's interesting how there wasn't there criticism of this type of schooling when men were 70% of college students
Back when men were 70% of college students, the men who actually made it there were also the kinds of men who were actually high achievers and would benefit from that.
College was far from mandatory for any job- you could quit at Grade 10 (or earlier, in some cases) and still expect to make a reasonably decent living. Men (and women) for whom additional schooling would not help could just... leave, and be a full-fledged adult at 16 (which gives them far greater time to achieve their goals and become more mature). Now we have grade inflation and people now need a college degree to receive government-mandated UBI (i.e. workers employed in the education-managerial complex) because high school graduation rates became a target and thus ceased to be a good measure of graduate competence.

Why would anyone show this to their own children?
Because it reinforces more or less every destructive cultural lie told over the past 100 years. The audience for this is parents (typically mothers) who are very concerned about what media their children consume, yet are too stupid or otherwise high on Morality to figure out that this is what they need to be defending their sons from.
I have never seen a piece of media that is so clearly a psy-op.
It occurs to me that the anti-Adolescence is a media that:
- (1) Encourages young men to do things that, statistically, lead to attracting women
- (a) imagining themself as the boy, physically exploring a woman
- (b) making the boy feel valued for that and not taken advantage of
- (c) making [women] think they're missing out by not doing that
- (2) make women interested in boys who look or behave like the boy protagonist, by associating the boy with promise and inevitable future value
- (3) has [1A] being conducted by a woman of high attractiveness

The parent's less likely to notice the one gay book in the normal stack, and even if the parent does notice, it's likelier to be dismissed as a harmless aberration.
They're also more likely to be actually a decent book (since they had to at least try and be convincing). Now, it's just taken for granted that the gayness makes the book good (since the group progressives form their identity around hating takes for granted that the gayness makes the book bad, and they think that reversed stupidity is intelligence), so you just get a bunch of Chick tracts.
the seeming death of "the adult"
I mean, you'll get engagement from me, at least.
But you won't quite get what you're expecting; I'm going to posit that the people who do raise families are not properly equipping their children as a direct response.
The active anti-adult memes are part of this, but they don't entirely explain it among the children; the typical failing of the wise parent is that they refuse to delegate and make time for delegation, because they're too busy believing the meme about their kids not becoming fully human until way later than it actually happens. I've seen this first hand from parents I consider to be pretty wise, but at the same time they're failing their children because they didn't grow up in a memetic/economic environment that's far more blatantly hostile to human development (and no, it's not 'social media' or 'video games' or other purely reactionary Boomer cope; if anything, they're more popular than they otherwise would be because every other avenue of "actually doing something" has been shuttered for safety or cost reasons- it's not a surprise they spend every waking hour in the only free space they're allowed [for now] to participate in).
A married couple with multiple car seats in the back of thier vehicle may as well be screaming "the things you care about are not the things we care about" at every member of the intellectual, activist, and managerial classes they drive past.
So's a 10 year old walking down the street or riding his bike unsupervised. He screams that his parents don't put an absurd value on safety and hiding under the bed from all risk whatsoever.
The PMC, and people with that mindset, respond in kind; the fact they're allowed to is kind of the central issue there. Safety arrests development; and kids are inherently a very unsafe thing to do. Hence fur-babies, where you're [for now] allowed to kill them or otherwise dispose of them if they turn out wrong, can send them to multi-day daycare whenever you want, can keep them in a cage to prevent them from wrecking the house, and their purpose [to us] generally matches their intellectual capabilities quite well- something that it's a meme for parents to bemoan without end the minute this stops being true for their children ('teenagers').

just buying the things is the better deal
You're paying for the ability to ditch the bike literally anywhere, and someone stealing it or wrecking it is not your problem.
In places where property crime is actively encouraged that is an underrated part of the package- and people don't bother stealing them anyway, because even if they weren't all GPS-tracked, they're very obviously stolen to pawn shops whereas private e-bikes are not (and if you want to be more cynical, the police will go where the local rental company tells them the stolen scooters are, where private citizens don't generally enjoy that even if you can prove it with an AirTag or similar).

As to not duplicate from the other comment:
- Compact utility vehicles, the turbocharged 2-litre 4 cylinder engine, and plug-in hybrids having more performance than non-V8 muscle cars of 15 years ago
- All new cars are ludicrously luxurious by the standards of 15 years ago (performance models now have 600-1000 HP)
- Small trucks made a [limited] comeback
- All new construction is ludicrously luxurious by the standards of 15 years ago
- Grocery pre-compilation for later pickup is cheaper than the cart rentals; delivery not much more expensive than that
- Food delivery at very reasonable rates; ride-sharing limits what taxis can charge
- Board games have gone through a renaissance; RP (D&D, etc.) is much more popular and approachable
- Credit card skimming was 100% solved via NFC (UX of terminals notwithstanding)
- Android phones more likely to be supported for the physical lifetime of the device
- Holosun and Primary Arms drove the price of a good rifle or pistol optic down dramatically
- Optic sights on handguns now widespread, and the variety and capabilities of compact and subcompact pistols in particular has increased dramatically
- The collapse in price of good AR-15s, Kel-Tec in general, Palmetto State Armory in general, (US only but has knock-on effects worldwide) NFA being completely trivialized means innovation can continue (shoulder braces mean short rifles mean cartridges designed around short barrels, forced reset triggers mean full-auto is functionally no longer banned, e-Form 1 filing for silencers mean you get them in 2 weeks, not 2 months or 2 years)
- 3D printing, and the accessibility thereof
- Anti-piracy law is well and truly a dead letter (people were still worried about BitTorrent lawsuits 10 years ago, VPNs weren't yet a thing, Internet Archive didn't exist [for now])
- Indie games (Minecraft most importantly), mature online distribution for games and music (Steam, Bandcamp, Spotify to a point) and books, backwards compatibility for consoles, subscription services for games
- Distributed funding platforms (specifically Kickstarter and Patreon)
- Effectively unlimited cellular data plans, and cell plans having fallen in price by 50% (especially considering inflation)
- Dramatically cheaper plane travel (except for the last year or so)
- People work from home more often
- Computers are faster and consume 10x less power (netbooks finally reached maturity as tablets and hyper-thin laptops)
- SSDs made computers dramatically faster (this was later taken away by MS bloat, but was true for the majority of the last 15 years)
- Functional programming principles make UI development far easier
And that's all I have for now.

how a 13 year old boy is being treated like an adult
...that's because 13 year old boys are adults, and human beings understand that more or less instinctually. Yes, usually we'll give some or other reason to pretend otherwise, but how we say we treat them vs. how we actually treat them is always different (and usually completely self-serving, in the older party's case) so we know that's a lie.
We expect 13 year old boys to take on adult responsibilities for social order yet grant them none of the rights that come along with that, which is how we justify absolutely bizarre things like "boys who are statutory raped are still liable for child support". Executing that age group for capital crimes is the historical norm- and let's not get started on the Volkssturm or Hamas' choice of soldiers.
It's mostly the women who encourage that, by the way- just another asset to be used up in warfare. Human doings at their finest.
Things were better for 13 year old men 150 years ago as the balance of right and responsibility was a bit more even; it's only within the last hundred years where they lost their rights. Of course, the same is true for men in general, it's just naturally far more pronounced in a population that can't fight back as effectively.

Get them out doing useful things, competing in sports or other activities.
But that is not Safe.
Give them male only spaces. They’ll be fine.
But that is not Equal.
And if you pay attention to what kinds of messages young men gravitate to, it’s messages exactly like that— calls to purpose, to doing hard things and building something worthwhile.
But that will mean men will think themselves entitled to the fruits of that labor rather than paying women their fair share.
That is not Consent.
If you worship these things as Goddesses, and many do- you don't generally get elected without professing your belief in these things- you cannot fix this problem. Only by rejecting these Goddesses can you solve the problem.

Yes, yes, and yes. Though I hesitate to call them "the new right" because they don't have anything to conserve yet, no entrenched interests to inflate; they're still on the upswing so that hasn't come out yet.
Traditional conservatives have a problem where 2000+ years of sociobiological truth was upended basically overnight 100 years ago- that men and women are a lot closer in socioeconomic standing than the Bible had anything to say about. So you have a pivot away from a civil religion that had no answer for that to one that could- and predictably, the one that won out almost immediately was "women good man bad".
Christianity has had no productive answer to that ever since. It's not something they're equipped to handle proceeding forward as they have been, and since these are traditionalists we're talking about they're going to be even slower on the uptake.
and will collapse back into progressivism
The liberal position is fundamentally unstable because the type of people it privileges cannot be entrenched in the same way a religious or identarian movement can. "Correct" is not an identity, though genetics have a non-trivial role to play in who is more often to be correct, and who is less- hence the movement's emphasis on making sure people who have genes that predict correctness are pushed so that they are correct more often and more productively.
And yes, this means that if there are differences here between subpopulations, they're going to get magnified. This will offend progressives, who are statistically more likely to be on the losing end of this (as part of why they're progressives). But if you can at least create and keep that cultural standard you'll at least be back at the point where you have enough seed corn that eating it becomes a possibility again.

Trump has now given the other side incentive (and justification, no matter how flimsy) to defect further.
The BLM rioters were already de facto pardoned by Blue.
By their own definition, this is not an abuse of the process. Blue can always change their definition so it isn’t corrupt as fuck in the future.
But then again, I’m ok with the metaphorical battered housewife hitting back, even if that predictably results in an escalation where the batterer murders her. This is the ‘die on your feet/live on your knees’ question (or more generally, safety vs. dignity) all over again.
Since Red is the dignity party at the moment (they can’t out-safety the safety party) this reaction is natural.

it seems like the better X refugee camp from what's available, at least as far as vibrant public square goes.
That's because Substack is an actual improvement, whereas Bluesky is just a straight up re-implementation. And straight re-implementations are big fat losers in the marketplace of platforms; ask any gun Breadtuber, Matrix fan, Mastodon user, or 4chan splinter group about that.
Something big has to happen for other platforms to rise- Pawoo and Gab are the largest Mastodon (Twitter reimplementation) instances simply because they host stuff you couldn't post on Twitter. And the thing about "decentralization" is that it's just another word for "make sure Apple/Google can't ban the clients off of the phones, since that's where 99% of our userbase is browsing from at any given time".
The only exception to that rule is Reddit, where Digg had it all then blew it up with a redesign and other bullshit- but that was also 15 years ago and before the rise of the smartphone and corresponding App Store-beholden lock-in.
it's stupid to think women are somehow to blame
I'm assuming you're a man.
Female hypoagency is baked hard into your evolutionary biology. This is your instinct of "do whatever gets you laid" doing the talking, and in an era where men and women are, in fact, equal on most fields (that were for the past 100,000+ years dominated by men) it's simply maladaptive. And a woman who can't or won't perform the productive parts of that role is no woman, and it's a mistake of men to consider them as worthy of any special social status whatsoever. The biological principle of "women [and children] first" falls apart when those women in aggregate can refuse to bear children (or fail to put the interests of the nation's children above their own self-interests and aesthetic preferences).
In an age of automation (and slavery) driven equality, women and men ought to be equal parts human doing and human being- the fact that women are both and men are neither is a clear indication that our current methods and measures of "equality" need some re-evaluation.
But if one of the issues is giving too much power to people who can't properly wield it--and it has a gender bias--what on earth do we do?
If you assume that the average man and the average women are just as inherently anti-social/destructive as the other (a fundamental assumption for my worldview), you need to tailor-make the way you deal with those things to suit their biological specializations. If a woman's speech is just as destructive as a man's violence, the speech needs to be regulated in the same measure as the violence, or you're just giving too much power to women and their particular version of anti-sociality eventually starts to dominate.
The current folly of liberalism was believing that legal equality would lead to objective equality, where what actually happened is that by removing the societal safeguards from the gender that has had 100,000+ years to specialize in manipulating men to do things on their behalf, they [predictably] unleashed that machinery upon society. People get confused about "well, then why didn't gynosupremacy have massive negative effects earlier?" but fail to recognize that this is a 1920s problem that we got to punt on for 50 years because the post-WW2 economic boom gave so many advantages to male social power that women would actually end up on the losing end for a while, but naturally they wouldn't last.
I really don't want to become a Trad Chad who wants to put the ladies back into some parochial 17th century box.
We already recognize strict legal equality in the face of women as a stepping-stone to strict objective equality, and women in aggregate recognize the concept of intersectionality and equity. They're correct in that these are things that should happen; where they're incorrect is that if it was applied fairly it would be almost exclusively at the cost of their current social license to be destructive. And, as these same women are quick to point out, loss of that privilege will feel like oppression (but, of course, isn't).
The problem I have is that, if this is done improperly, you catch the "transgender" women and men in the blast radius (i.e. the women and men who don't need rules restraining a latent gynosupremacist/androsupremacist attitude they didn't have in the first place). They tend to be the most productive/least disruptive people society has and the cost of this change might not be worth what it costs them.
I have some ideas for the way this might work, but the trick is implementing them in a way contradictory to instinct, are not feasible while men are still in socioeconomic oversupply, and are just as easy to conveniently leave pointed at men (just like how we use paper-bag tests to determine which criminals to prosecute now). (Of course, these measures wouldn't be needed if women were all of a sudden in socioeconomic oversupply -> in less of a position to demand men conform to them; this is why, ironically, that gynosupremacists being able to exclusively choose to bear saintly girls and not toxic boys would eventually end up diluting their current power over time.)
This refusal to work is that defense.
Then the way I see it, the women have two choices- they can deal with it themselves (unlikely), or they can accept that their unwillingness to do certain types of labor makes that labor inherently more valuable.
I expect either forced arbitration or military action (financial or otherwise) will come next, perhaps both at the same time; this is a threat to the Two-Tier English order. (Ever wonder why China censors discussion of 'lying flat'? Now you know).
