You forget, of course, that men who never got married are not an unselected group- they’re very disproportionately men nobody wants. Some might have extenuating circumstances, sûre, but unmarried women as a class largely accurately see unmarried men as a class as undesirable.

Given the time period, are we sure st Bernardino was talking about conventional age gap relationships rather than actual child marriage?

Spain has been majority Christian since the Roman Empire; thé caliphate failed at converting the majority of the population.
It’s fair to see the inquisition as ethnic cleansing of the former occupying elite, but not mass conversions- because there simply weren’t a huge number of Muslims or Jews.

While bribing mega church pastors is totally plausible, Christian Zionism relies on connecting a constellation of ideas that existed as known fringe ideologies before Israël was a thing in a way that seems genuine bottom up schizoposting, not astroturfing.

X. At a certain point you do need people in charge of the whole thing, and I’m guessing that although there probably exist sergeants who could do it, there isn’t a system to immediately move those specific NCO’s into position, and this is likely true even if the median officer does nothing except require the rank and file to fill out extra paperwork indicating they’re up to date on cultural sensitivity training.

This sounds like ‘there are more people trying to get cushy well paying jobs that don't entail being ordered around all that much than there are such jobs to go around’, which is a historical constant that has of late had some exceptions to it, either driven by bubbles on new technology or low interest rates or in affirmative action meaning your company had to have a pet black woman vp or whatever. The vast majority of people will always be worker bees, and a stratum that can’t adapt to that is doomed over the long run.
Uh, you can find conservative writers and musicians pretty easily. The appreciation guild just tilts left.
