I thought there were some changes to get the ultra orthodox men into jobs and even drafted military service. It should be axiomatic as they grow into a larger percentage of the Israeli population, otherwise Israel would be reliant on women to do all the fighting and other typical male work.
Oh its very much just lifting for looksmatch for a man that can find no willing women otherwise. Physical employment requiring movement and use of muscles will be effective, and a man gets paid on top of it. However, blue collar work can result in injuries and often results in a shorter lifetime earning potential once middle age takes its toll.
Often, a man will have no chance to demonstrate his honor, decency, and other good qualities to a woman unless he can first draw her eye with his muscles. My grandmother often tells all her grandchildren (~15) that the thing that drew her to my grandfather was his big muscles. In her old age she repeats the story quite often as if she was telling it for the very first time, it's deeply etched in her memory.
Hence the adage, "just lift, bro".

I don't disagree with your points, but I was addressing strictly what improves male sexual access to women per @dailydogma and not women of good relationship potential.

On #3, men who have everything going for them but still can't get a relationship I must strongly disagree. I do not know of any man who has achieved career progression and muscles, but who also can't get a relationship unless he is unsatisfied with the quality of the women available to him.

Women are rarely interested in sex with a social status inferior. A man needs only relatively high social status compared to the type of woman he is interested in to have many accessible options.
If a man is not a combination of poor, fat, short, weakly, socially autistic, and ungroomed he should have a reasonable amount of options of sexually available young women. Only height is out of the control of a man, everything else can be improved with sustained effort.

Yeah, entrenched jewish capture is not the most neutral term. Jewish sociocultural dominance might work, but doesn't grasp how integrated jewish ideas are into law, philosophy, etc. of the US.
On jews convincing americans to support Israel willingly, this is generally true except for the most recent Trump backed excursion into Iran. There was no buildup period to gain broad public support for a sustained conflict against Iran, just Netanyahu convincing Trump to start the hostilities himself.

Ah, I forgot about body augmentation. It's just a matter of time before we have the triple breast augmentations, Total Recall style.
There has to be a hard physical limit to hoeflation eventually, right? Thongs as casualwear? The human body can't go above 100% exposed, surely.
Unless the inside of mouths, noses, and other bodily cavities become parts of sexual interest. If 100% outside nakedness becomes the norm, then it stands to reason that women's dental gumlines become hidden fetish zones.
It is their version of exterminating the woke mind virus before it becomes endemic in the Chinese population.
This information quarantine requires maintenance so it's a sensitive issue. The Chinese are relatively united and patriotic, so it seems to have worked out relatively well for them. As far as I'm aware, they don't have a need for cultural war threads like we have here on the Motte. If anything, the Chinese are curious how western democracies aren't devolving into total anarchy and chaos given the increasing political polarization over culture war topics.

Absent other factors, and assuming murderous criminality has a strong genetic basis, Blackstone's ratio might result in a high level of murderous criminality in the general population as the innocent are butchered faster than they can reproduce.
From this perspective, a 1:1 ratio or even a 10:1 ratio allowing for many innocent convictions will reduce the genetic propensity for murderous violence.

Iran needs to oppose Israel's existence as a state to harness Islamic street credibility, the survival of Shia theology in a Sunni dominated world may depend on it at this point.
As for America's support for Israel, it's largely due to entrenched jewish capture of US media, cultural, and financial institutions. Not as a deliberate act, but as a consequence of typical jewish high-IQ, educational attainment, and preference for high prestige, high status employment. US jewish elites are uniquely vulnerable to Israeli propaganda to support them at all costs. In turn, the US gets strongly nudged to support Israeli political ambitions.
No justice system is perfect, sometimes innocent people are convicted and sometimes the criminal murderers go free.
I think people should be incentivized to do their job, and disincentivized from doing the opposite of their job. I want the tax auditor disincentivized from giving tax breaks. I want the firemen disincentivized from allowing fires to burn buildings. I want the doctor disincentivized from selling me unproven medical treatments. I want people to not do the opposite of their job description, even if there are occasional errors and mistakes.
The prosector who railroads and convicts an innocent person can have their salary cut and retirement benefits reduced, and the threat of demotion and the loss of their job if their mistake is serious enough. Like any other job, there should be consequences for serious mistakes or abuses of power.
I am waiting for the "only Nixon could go to China" moment, translated into the current situation as "only Trump could abandon Israel."
Trump has the unique opportunity to forge a reasonably lasting peace with Iran and getting them to abandon "death to America" and nuclear materials in exchange for completely abandoning Israel. It might get some bipartisan support, and it would be politically impossible for a democratic president and most republican presidents.
In this way, Trump could legitimately claim to have put America first, and I would admit that he secured an excellent deal. He would get a lot of heat for it, but I think it would slide right off him and he would be able to sell it to the public as a win.

The radical stuff may work, but may have unexpected side effects that make your health much worse. Just go with the traditional slow ramp up of high intensity exercise combined with adequate protein intake and rest. Whey protein is the tried and true nutrition source if you can tolerate lactose. Supplement with omega 3 fish oil pills and that's all most people need. Fresh eggs and meat when you have the time to cook them.
If there were radical, reliable shortcuts everyone would already be doing it. All this other stuff is a waste of your time.

Yeah, the election of certain positions like prosecutors invites trouble, as demonstrated in this situation.

If Trump agrees to prostrate himself before Allah, praise be unto his name, five times daily can we get better terms? He can be the first Shia caliph-president (Cali-president?).
Remedy: Tie conviction rates less conceded errors to personal advancement in a prosecutor's career. Prosecutors cannot be an elected position in this remedy. A prosecutor should be deincentivized from having losing cases on their professional record.
Sometimes the partial toleration of native criminal gangs can reduce the influence of foreign criminal gangs, like the way probiotic bacteria outcompete dangerous bacteria for nutrients.
The Japanese seem to have long tolerated the presence of their native yakuza until very recently. The yakuza would probably not tolerate the existence of Pakistani rape gangs in Japan. I believe the yakuza do engage in human trafficking, but that seems more focused on foreign southeast asian women serving a primarily Japanese clientele.
Separately, it seems that only some white, western democracies are susceptible to this particular problem. It doesn't seem to happen anywhere else. So yes, the current generation of white UK men might be the most cucked men ever, so far. At least with colonialism the subject people's women were coerced by some type of force, the white UK men have no such excuse.

Highly politically polarized societies are a bad thing, they incentivize corruption and reduce trust. The US seems to get a little more polarized every year, with no offramp yet in sight.
A little propaganda and a common enemy can sometimes bridge factional divides. China, Russia, Iran, jews, muslims, sometimes I wish the governing elites could just agree to settle on a single external enemy and turn on the propaganda hose.
Otherwise, expect agency purges, counter-purges, and political stasis in-between.
Also there are strategy rpg variants, like Battletech 2018 (by Harebrained Schemes) with very in-depth fan mods like Roguetech.
