No, 40 year old childless cat ladies are not viewed positively. It is true that marriage is viewed more negatively, and that women are encouraged into things that make them, by effect, generally less pleasant and attractive.
But it is also true that tramps and roustabouts were a thing back in the day, too, and there’s definitely bigger factors than modern women in NEETdom(video games).

Your "just for fun" is her job, and for a working class person can be very precarious. Retail workers are not dancing monkeys, especially when you weren't even going to buy anything or tip her!
In this economy? She can get a new, equivalent job tomorrow. Not a great job, but she already didn't have that.
There is simply a shortage of customer service workers compared to people wanting customer service. Yes, this means standards for friendliness to customers have declined. I'm personally ok with that and would rather the 'all business' model of customer service become standard(I have requested new waiters for being overly personal with the friendliness before), but lots of Americans aren't used to that.

These concerns pay well enough for ambitious bilinguals on a management track to grind out; still can’t get people.

I oppose identity politics for white people but support it for specific groups of republican white people(eg, Cuban-Americans, combat veterans). It is perfectly reasonable to oppose white identity politics which in practice will mostly go to democrats.

Same difference. The normies listen to Rogan to decide who to trust. When he has Alex Jones on, they are now conspiracy theorists.

She was quite clearly groomed into it; I have no doubt that a younger child could be groomed into the same behavior because it has happened before. Children want to please adults.

Exactly, the threshold is far below trying to talk some woman into joining a harem after she's said she wants nothing to do with the whole thing.

I mean, there are plenty of people who don't, disproportionately on the right.

The answer to inceldom is not a tractable problem; the incels today mostly would not have been successful romantically/sexually in 1955 either. Granted, he would have been a different young man in 1955, and that young man would have done ok with the ladies, and probably would today too.
Seriously the incels' problem is with their behavior/attitude and that's unfixable. It's not because they're short.

A few years ago a couple of NYPD cops even beat up a judge and got away with it

I don't want draft dodgers in my country. If they won't return to fight for their homeland they should be executed for desertion.

Meh, it isn’t human to prioritize an abstract law over your own flesh and blood.
Bring forth chatgpt as ruler or deal with president’s sons getting away with drug use.

When I am talked into trying sushi, yes.

Every time I've tried sushi, I've had them take it back and cook it. I can eat raw steak and venison and dove meat(deep backwoods east Texas thing) and bacon, but fish never seems right. I'll stick to Cajun-style seafood.

There are plenty of red law enforcement under federal employ. For that matter the NYPD is fairly red.

NGO corruption and special interests is not the same thing as what’s implied; at least theoretically the first Baptist church of wherever could get access to the NSGP, it’s just that Jews are better at skimming from the government by, like, a lot. The local government didn’t decide that the ‘Jewish student center’ is more important to protect than the Catholic Church, the ‘Jewish student center’ hired an off duty police officer with grant money that got laundered to it.
It’s politically convenient for both sides to pretend that largely nonexistent antisemitism is a major problem, but that doesn’t mean the government chooses Jews as winners over everyone else.

All of those people made it much less work to find their identity than is under discussion.

I think this analysis completely skips over the fact that public K-12 education is compulsory.
No, it isn't. If you don't want your kids going to public school, you don't have to send them.
You are required to do something that you call education, and public schools are the lowest friction way to do that. But the unschoolers get away with it, you can too.

Same is true for 'white nationalism'. Either you care about white people, their bio-diversity, history and continued existence or you don't.
While some white ethnic groups will likely disappear due to immigration(cockney speakers I think?), white people will continue to exist in every plausible future. In fact whites will make up a decent chunk of the population of America in most plausible futures. You don't have to be a white nationalist to recognize that it doesn't require any actual changes to the way the world will likely work for white people to continue to exist in a fairly wide diversity.

...Your basic argument is that pro-gun-control politicians are not actually aiming their coordinated meanness at the law-abiding gun culture.
No, my basic argument is that pro-gun-control politicians are not capable of coordinating meanness, and don't fundamentally care enough to become capable.

The US needs to win this war because their credibility re sanctions is in the toilet.
The federal government lacks the state capacity it had in 1860.
