They exist. Tokarev is a niche handgun for collectors in the USA. Handguns chambered in rifle cartridges appeal to gun nuts for some reason, IDK why, but you can easily find both AK caliber and AR-15 caliber handguns.

Boy scouts is for boys and their dads. There's a separate set of boy scouts troops for girls. But the BSA's current lack of appeal to boys has more to do with demand for a checkbox on the cursus honorum from parents(mostly of boys) than with separate but equal girls' boy scouts troops.

Random question- would you be interested in posting a user viewpoint focus? The last guy nominated wasn't. We should get strong opinions spelled out on the front page more often.

I've always been bullish on the French elan, but as the state ideology of America.... Hmm, you may have inspired a psychohistoric babbling schizopost, we'll see.

?? The greedy jew stereotype is the butt of jokes, not something people seriously hold. Serious antisemites are much more likely to rant about dual loyalty or jews r pedos conspiracy theories.

You're being overly systematic, here- 'antisemitism' in Zionist parlance is a snarl word. There are uses of the term which have a definition, sure, but not the Zionist one. They're not worried about the cause. They're worried about using it as a cudgel against critics. And as long as this lines up with somebody else's interests in the west, it will.

Imagine the ideology of your outgroup, the worldview you find most odious; do you really want a parent who holds that ideology to have absolute power over whether their child is aware that some people, fully endowed with reason and conscience, disagree with it?
It’s irrelevant, my outgroup doesn’t breed well. Like pandas.

In France French coullion means a vulgarity approximating ‘fellow-motorist’, but in Cajun it is an endearing term for a fool.
This process is extremely common in the world’s languages. See also ‘nigga’. Sounds like it’s well underway.

Why does Clav need a deeper meaning? People like watching insane celebrities act like coked up retards(because that’s what they are). He’s different in form, but not function, from Britney Spears.

Chattel slavery actually has a pretty clear bright line- the individual can be transferred from one owner to another like any other piece of property, it isn't bound to real property.
Nowadays bound to real property is pretty rare in the west- it comes up in mineral/water rights sometimes and game animals, but it isn't something average people have to care about. But various forms of unfree labour which were not transferable, they were bound to real property, were not slavery, and historically bounded property was very common in other contexts as well.

Psshh. Europe dominated the world in the first globalization. Whites conquered the Western hemisphere when it was full of brown people.

Protection from termination for political views varies by state, and- perhaps counterintuitively but unsurprisingly- it tends to be blue states which have strong protections for political views, theoretically to protect union organizing.

At least at the moment, democrats are moving away from advocating for top end tax increases.

Yes, usually two-three drinks per day. This is a large reduction over previous consumption.

That is not true, see elsewhere in this very thread that transition increases psychiatric morbidity. See also the 41% suicide rate of transitioners, which is not a sign of a mentally healthy population on average(after all, most depressives manage not to kill themselves).

'Child marriage' when it's basically all 16-17 year olds. Not, like, actual children like they do in the middle east. That's still illegal.

Not giving money to schools is the third rail of American politics. Like cutting social security.

Large parts of medieval Europe basically didn’t have actual chattel slavery for long periods of time- they had unfree labour, but serfs weren’t slaves.

Why not? We already allow childhood mutilation of genitals for males! In fact teenagers are probably more ethical to do on than babies cause the teenagers could always push back while the baby can not.
I'm going to push back on this- circumcision is yes bad but not as bad as FGM, and and one meets the threshold for child abuse while the other one doesn't.
My son isn't circumcised, my future ones won't be either, you don't need to convince me it's bad. But, as a circumcised guy, it's nowhere near as bad as FGM is supposed to be. There's a major difference in severity.

It also has a system in place that prevents people (adults!) from voluntarily buying the drugs for themselves that they want.
Unless they're 'for your dog'. Or a doctor takes the word of your chiropractor that he heard you say you needed them. Or you have money. Or...

Nothing Iran has done thus far indicates that they care about making money compared to their Wadiya-like anti-Israel and anti-Western views.

Just because parents don't know what a collective action problem is doesn't mean they can't identify one. Not everyone works off of formal logic, parents can recognize that instagram is bad for kids at the same time as kids being socially isolated by being the only one not on instagram is bad for kids.
I have a previous thread about very conservative parents being better at their jobs, and my sources overemphasized discipline as a factor. Lots of the commentary was basically about how 'discipline' meant setting limits on social media. Plausibly your theory about parents feeling disempowered is supported therein; but short of spreading the folkways of the rightmost 10-20% or so of the population more broadly(and I have another thread about that), the best way to solve this specific problem of teen social media use is to make a law against it. They won't follow it voluntarily but it will let their parents enforce it.
Of course, I would prefer to be a selective libertarian and empower the rightmost 10-20% of the population by not doing anything to prevent the rest of it from self destructing. This is not out of a general commitment to freedom. But it's entirely understandable to me why social media bans that nobody knows how to enforce would be welcomed by parents.
These people are real and are indeed antisemites, but the definition of antisemitism in use by prominent zionists is sufficiently self serving as to provide no particular evidence in favor of this- you know that various Iranian front groups are antisemites because of their words, not the labels of the Israeli government.
