Outside of the right genuinely becoming stronger through X, there is a one word answer: Israel. The establishment can't compromise any more on Israel. They have to vote yes when Israel asks for arms. They have to stand up and clap for Netanyahu.
Why?

Are you subscribing to the interpretation of Dreaded Jim that the Great Purge of 1937-38 was a manifestation of left political singularity?

'Despicable' might be too strong a word. 'Fatally infected by slave morality and pathological altruism' maybe?

Yes, your job is essentially to get hot women into the club so men come in and buy drinks.
So I reckon you need to be a hot man for that?

The more I read this the more I'm convinced nobody saying this has seen an actual kid in many, many years. (Or they have, but were trying so hard not to crimethink that they didn't actually perceive them.)
This is hardly surprising. In a demographically imploding and atomized society, children are scarce and not present in many social locations, and couples with small children normally interact with one another and not with singles.

As someone who’s illiterate regarding pharmaceutics I do wonder what side effects Ozempic has.

When researchers actually combed profiles on a bareback-centric site, the share of HIV-positive men actually trying to infect partners came out around 1 percent.
What is the practical difference between engaging in loads of casual homo sex and rejecting condom use because you’re sticking to the principle of not lowering yourself to such a laughable lame-ass normie norm as a proud gay man, and engaging in loads of casual homo sex and rejecting condom use because you’re a perverted psycho intending to infect other men with venereal diseases? Because I imagine the former practice is much, much more widespread than the latter.

I’d say they only get involved in a culture war matter when anyone is questioning, ridiculing, criticizing or delegitimizing women’s sexual choices and behavior.
BONUS ROUND, turns out the female journalist that wrote the puff piece about the gay pedophile couple wrote a response to the controversy. Accountability is nowhere to be found, but getting mad at American conservatives is! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-10/gorman-second-thoughts/4809582
She's also a Jewess with roots in present-day Slovakia and described on Wikipedia as a 'Australian social justice journalist'. Jokes are surely still just writing themselves.
Also the amount of gays that did not (and still don't, though anti-retrovirals have changed this somewhat) care about having and/or spreading AIDS gave and still gives a lot of people pause.
Another example was the so-called Patient Zero of the AIDS epidemic in the USA:
"Shilts interviewed epidemiologist Selma Dritz, who reported that in 1982, she informed Dugas that he was infecting other people, but he refused to cease having casual sex in spite of this."

I'd argue that it's romantic relationships between teenagers (normally between a teenage girl and a slightly older boy) that can be categorized as 'socially approved ephebophilia', as socially generally tolerates such sexual acts within certain limits. Society is also generally OK with male college students having relationships with 17/18-yr-old girls. Relationships between older male groomers and underage teen girls, on the other hand, are cases of socially not approved ephebophilia.

This won’t work because even the majority of moderate, normie-adjacent leftists have been exposed to lots of 3rd wave feminist messaging and are now wise to this tactic. They will dismiss this narrative as loser-coded and claim that instead of being motivated by noble ideals of meritocracy, legal equality and civic nationalism, you just want to advantage shitty, entitled, reactionary and sex-starved garbage human males because you see them as your anti-feminist ingroup.

It’s part of a larger false narrative that is in essence Awokening denial. Liberals will keep promoting the notion that the Great Awokening never existed, that it was all manufactured, exaggerated and misconstrued by evil MAGA propaganda.

Are you arguing that this is how Democrat politicians were actually behaving back then? I won't say the death itself was manufactured. The scandal, on the other hand, very much was, I think.

I'd like to add that there used to be many more male bloggers like him, roughly between 2006-2015 or so.

the great leap forward, the cultural revolution, and, my favorite, the four pests policy.
The local SJWs and ardent supporters of these policies, unlike in Western societies, were never permitted to grab structural control over social life after marching through the institutions, and were only deputized as mindless executors of the political moves of the supreme leader. Once he was dead, all power was stripped from them by his successors, they were suppressed and their legacy was undone under the official slogan of Setting Things Right. (I briefly described this period here on the old subreddit.) Due to political and cultural peculiarities I’m afraid this great feat is something that will never be achieved in any Western country. If anything of this sort will ever come to pass, it can only happen through bloodshed and complete collapse. In this sense, I think OP is right – the Chinese are doing it all better.
With respect to the one-child policy I think it needs to be pointed out in defense of the Chinese commies that pretty much everyone else in the world was falling for the same nonsense back then. The notion that runaway overpopulation was causing mass poverty, famine and wars seemed irresistible.

As far as Japan is concerned, I’m aware that the social concept of the idealized Japanese woman is established so well that there is even a separate phrase for it. According to this concept, the ideal woman is basically dignified and modest and yet at the same time alluring and determined, polite and delicate, graceful and elegant. Naturally female JPop idols are generally expected to adhere to this so I guess your overall point does stand. In other words, in this case we are indeed talking about ‘conscripting real-life women into doing so’. In general, it seems these societies are still conservative enough to retain the concept of idealized femininity whereas in the West this has been thrown with resentment on the trash heap of history decades ago.

I doubt this phenomenon exists outside Japan and South Korea to any significant degree.

I just realised that the Gen X/Millennial equivalent was feminist writers feeling disappointed by Johnny Depp marrying archetypal grippy-socks-grippy-box BPD art hoe Amber Heard, twenty years his junior.
It's no wonder this trash was written in 2014. It was the time when the Culture War was being escalated rapidly by the woke. It was obvious that things were going to turn bad.

I had to look this up in the dictionary. Welp.
Nerdy, socially awkward male writers get a lot of stick for indulging their Manic Pixie Dream Girl fantasy, but in their defense, at least they're usually content to invent fictional characters to fulfil this fantasy for them rather than conscripting real-life women into doing so and berating them when they can't perform a job they never agreed to carry out.
You know, this never actually occurred to me before.
I’m not asking why these Dem leaders are not taking a clear stand with Hamas against Israel. I’m asking what perceived tangible political risk is there in them parting ways with the Israel Lobby and refusing to yield to them anymore.
