Krásný článek sledující historický vzestup Západu. Pomocí několika metrik se snaží odhadnout, kdy se v Evropě začala rodit modernita. Evropa předstihla zbytek světa před rokem 1500 - dávno před protestantstvím, kolonialismem či otroctvím. Vzestup začíná kolem roku 1300. 🧵
Nedávno jsem s někým vedl diskusi o existenci násilných levicových bojůvek. Protistrana si myslela, že je to nový fenomén, a nebyla si vědoma, že jsou trvalou součástí levicového hnutí. Tady jeden příklad:
Fascinating piece of history: here’s a 1977 clip of the Socialist Workers Party engaging in violence against the National Front. Duncan Hallas, a founding leader of the SWP, refuses to condemn it. The scenes in Epping aren’t new. SUTR still think they’re fighting National Action.
If one were somehow to actually meet a European noble of any time before about the 16th century, they would seem bizarrely paradoxical from the modern standpoint - both more brutal and more principled; capable of unimaginable sinfulness and violence but also of profound…

Počátky etnické politiky v ČR:
V Česku žije přes 70 tisíc Vietnamců. Zajímají se o politiku, podnikají a naše země je pro ně skutečná vlast. Pamatuji si, jak během covidu šili roušky a zdarma je rozdávali potřebným 😷💙 Vždy je moc ráda navštívím – jako tentokrát v brněnském Vinamu s @AndrejBabis ⤵️ Cảm ơn!
"the elites being overproduced are increasingly women. And the people occupying these new 'diversity and inclusion'-oriented positions are overwhelmingly women. These positions are serving as new sinecures almost entirely for female aspirations" press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…
The current UK situation is fascinating, because it is the first Western regime to face the problem faced by Eastern European Communist regimes in 1989—the extreme dissatisfaction of much of the population, which it has become obvious to them can never be resolved through the…
111 years ago today, Europe committed civilizational suicide.
The fact that Macron spent his entire presidency trying to surrender sovereignty to the EU and is now outraged, outraged that they’ve negotiated this trade deal on his behalf he doesn’t like, it’s just…
FRANCE SAYS EU SURRENDERED TO TRUMP WITH TRADE DEAL
the **actual** biggest political story that no one talks about in redistricting is that the Census Bureau messed up their count in 2020 in a way that gave like 5-10 extra seats to blue states, ADMITTED they messed it up, but we all just sorta have to wait 10 years to fix it
The biggest political story no one is talking about? @chucktodd and I think it's the re-redistricting happening around the country. Full convo at link in my bio.
In 2022, a "Proud Boy" punched a black woman in Akron, giving her a bloody lip. It was a national story. The FBI helped investigate.

It is very funny that the only two things that replicate in a field full of progressives are 1) IQ and 2) stereotype accuracy. God has sense of humor.
Intelligence research is like the only thing that replicates in your field lmao
kinda naive of me but I didn't quite parse just how many Mao apologists there are on this site until I criticized him once lots of Nuance Enjoyers ready to speak up for their favorite mass murderers (*this is not targeted at my friendly neighborhood pedants-who-I-appreciate!)
The Anatomy of Ideological Capture: How Wikipedia Whitewashes Mao Recently, I posted a passing aside making fun of how Wikipedia frames Mao's legacy, assuming that what I saw was self-evident. I got predictable pushback from Maoists and tankies, which didn't surprise me. What…
If you believe that "systemic" racism and "white supremacy" explain the hugely disproportionate rates of black homicide in America, then you have to believe that blacks suffer from racism and white supremacy 6 times more than Hispanics and about 20 times more than Asians.
A solicitor suing Muslim grooming gangs on behalf of the victims tells the story of how the South Yorkshire Police were knowingly complicit in the grooming gang scandal. It's difficult to comprehend just how perverse the British regime is.
Když Vás někdo bude příště obviňovat z rasismu, nic si z toho nedělejte. Ten "rasismus" je jen nesmyslná snaha patologizovat normální lidské chování:. Viz například:
Tenhle skrytej rasismus miluju. Přijde černoch, tak na něj lidi začnou automaticky mluvit anglicky. Přitom borec je Čech, jen je černej 😀
If you understand the centrality of “face” (面子 or miànzi) in Chinese culture - an obsession with honor and dignity in matters of social standing - you will see this and rightly glean: China simply does not respect the EU This is a highly symbolic, honor culture. Nothing…
Imagine President Trump being herded onto an airport bus like a budget airline passenger. That’s how China just welcomed the EU.
Why do Jews get attacked over immigration in a way that Catholics do not?
