This reflects the infantilization and femininization of modern academia, particularly in the humanities.
The people who are now young professors were once good little girls (even if they were boys, they were still girls,) who always diligently did their homework. Today, in adulthood, they view scholarship as a form of homework, so it must hew to certain conventions, and foremost among those is the citation: The more, the better. Even if they’re only tangentially relevant. “Look, teacher, I did all of my homework! 300 papers cited! How about that?”
Compare today’s academic writing — even in philosophy, of all things — to the 19th century’s. In the 19th century, one had to make very bold statements and reveal all sorts of hidden truths, or one would hardly amount to a footnote. Philosophy was a contact sport where opinions were vigorously debated. Today, we have a bunch of midwits (lowwits, even,) who write books and papers which contain hundreds of citations, but who are exceedingly cautious about making any original statements of their own, and whose criticism is reserved for the unorthodox.

Vance sees this vitriol every day on social media. But instead talking about how much he loves Martin Luther King or showing off his mixed-race family (his wife is Indian), Vance makes a broader point about how the Left uses the smear to suppress regular Americans and silence debate about immigration. He fearlessly discusses the problems with immigration and how we should address them. Vance adds a personal note by highlighting the devastating toll drugs from Mexico have on rural America. Drugs nearly killed his mother, a sad chapter in his life depicted in stark, searing honesty in the film based on his best-selling memoir.Unsurprisingly, that response, one of the best to unhinged attacks from the Left, drew more accusations from the media [JD Vance accused of racism over new campaign ad, by Gustaf Kilander, The Independent, April 6, 2022]. Vance was unperturbed. The ad was meant to gain attention and demonstrate he’s on the side of Trump voters who oppose Open Borders. It was not intended to placate his Leftist critics. Mission accomplished.

Very public spirited of those two football players to pick up trash along the roadsides, but they really need to be wearing gloves and protective clothing. Even prison road crews do.
Trash is certainly a problem in Latin countries, but my observation is that it is worse in rural areas where there is not really any proper garbage pickup and removal service and people have to rely on goats, bonfires and gulleys
The city where I live in Ecuador is almost completely trash free. Garbage collection is several times a week, and people usually put the trash in supermarket or retail plastic bags and then hang it on a rack on the fence or gate, so that the dogs and cats cannot get to it.
There is also an extensive road sweeping crew that sweeps the gutters by hand. They are always dressed from head to foot in green, including boots, gloves caps, neck covers, face masks, and goggles.
You definitely have to put a lot of the blame for trash on supermarkets, where nearly everything is wrapped in plastic packaging, or soda cans, and on fast food takeouts. Where people buy fruits and vegetables and meats and fish in open markets, there is no packaging other than plastic bags.
If we could go back to selling food items loose whenever possible and having liquids and drinks in glass bottles that can be reused forever, they would probably be less trash everywhere.
One of the worst offending items is, or used to be, cigarette packaging. People who smoke outdoors regard it as obligatory to throw the poisonous butts on the ground where they may be picked up by birds or other creatures. But then there is the cellophane wrapping, the paper foil wrapping, the tags to pull on to open the packet, and the boxes themselves.
In the US I have often noticed that people will throw trash out of car windows while driving, but I am not usually able to classify them by race. One rarely sees reports of people being prosecuted for this.
In general, the more trash pickup services and street cleaning that cities have, the cleaner the streets, but maybe it IS worse down Mexico way. Perhaps they need a Don’t muck up Mexico campaign.

My take, by the way, is that employers care overwhelmingly about how smart you are and how hard-working you are and, secondarily, whether you have specific knowledge useful to their job (if you don’t, but you are smart and hard-working, you can be trained).
Well said. That and the right attitude about learning new things and getting your hands dirty.
The world is changing so rapidly that specific skill sets become rapidly outdated, and are only a short term metric for hiring at best.
Sure, that sounds plausible to me. And although it might greatly surprise many of the commenters here, Caltech is now over 18% Hispanic (and only 23% white):
I gather that’s more a CalTech thing, which in the period I’ve watched it increased the intensity of its core requirements and has more of them than MIT.
How many of those “Hispanics” are white skinned Latin American elites is the question
Can't really say, but I doubt they're "elites." Only a tiny sliver of Hispanics in America come from an elite background, and I'd bet they'd tend to go to law schools or B schools rather than Caltech.

I’m beginning to wonder if we aren’t “pawn people” right here in the USA. A majority of Californians vote against homosexual marriage, and a degenerate in a black robe overruled them. Americans have consistently voted against allowing the massive amount of immigration, legal and illegal, but it continues at a rapid pace. Now they are shoving trans-sexuality down our throats, encouraging children to take puberty blockers and to engage in degenerate sexual behaviors. In Florida they have to pass a law that prevents teachers from discussing sexual issues with 5 year olds and the “elite” scheme to get even that law overturned. Maybe we’re all just pawns in somebody else’s world.
I have watched kosher slaughter many times. While it's not pleasant to watch, I can't say it is hideously barbaric. Eating meat requires that you kill the animal. Killing is on some level barbaric and bloody no matter what method is used and it's never going to be pleasant. But I don't see kosher slaughter as being particularly cruel compared to other methods. The animal's throat is slit and trachea, esophagus and carotid arteries are severed with a very sharp, flawless knife The loss of blood supply to the brain render the animal unconscious very quickly if this is done properly.
Both sets of practices are hideously barbaric, unfortunately.
Looks like a nerve was touched.

Yes, I think he does realize that. He’s pointing out facts. The US will bomb the shit out of countries that can’t defend themselves (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, etc.) but once North Korea had nuclear weapons, they were safe from the US bullies. So, you can blame the US for teaching the world that nuclear weapons are needed to be safe from the American monster.
Get serious. We could bomb NK into the stone age before they could even get one of their nuke missiles off the launchpad. And their missile would likely crash far short of the USA. Just because some pipsqueak country has a few nukes doesn't put them in the same league as Russia or China.

I remember being in Copenhagen around 2006 and seeing a van full of police dressed in that weird paramilitary style that became so popular in large parts of continental Europe since the late 90s. It was going in the same direction as me and eventually I caught up with them.
They’d set up a checkpoint… for cyclists. I don’t know what they were enforcing, rules on helmets, (I’m actually not sure if it is the law in Denmark as you see almost all adults not wearing them) people disobeying traffic rules. (I think it may have been a trend of people ‘bike jaywalking’ past red lights when they felt there was no traffic around, potentially dangerous at night) But it was surreal to see a bunch of young men dressed like fascist paramilitaries stopping a young women with long blonde hair on a bike at a bike checkpoint.
The things you can do when law and order aren’t seen as ethnic or racial things. Of course, today Denmark does (And did then) have an ethnic crime problem but unlike Sweden which continued heavy amounts of immigration, Denmark was the lucky country in having Pia Kjærsgaard and the DPP coming into government in a long-term coalition and being given the immigration brief at the key moment in the early 2000s when asylum fraud just exploded. (I suspect the internet was a key factor) The only example of this happening in a Western country. So now Denmark has a much smaller and not as fast growing problem as Sweden whose second city, Malmo, is absolutely dominated by it politically and socially.
In Denmark the immigrants don’t surround the Danes, the Danes surround the immigrants and their ubiquity isn’t the same given. They don’t have an ‘immigrant veto’ as I constantly see everywhere in the West where natives fear offending them by talking among themselves about things like immigration.
The definition of a broad has also gotten very broad.

I think most of the sacrificing the Chinese do is at gunpoint. I am unaware of any eastern culture that sustains or promotes private charity, like seen in the US.
It seems the Chinese worked this out a long time ago, but they do the sacrificing as a culturally enforced, mass norm, not necessarily as individual altruists.
As in the Soviet Union, charity organizations in China were stamped out during the first decades of communism, since, under Marxist-Leninist theory, the people, in the form of the state, are providers to all.
I’ve lived in Hong Kong and Singapore, both majority Chinese cities, and private charity organizations are far from absent. Perhaps the best known of them in overseas Chinese settlements is the Buddhist-Chinese Red Swastika Society, which runs food kitchens, and support services for the indigent and, especially, the elderly poor.
The comments suggest that this particular whine elicits quite a bit more common sense pushback than others.
But–said it before and i’ll say it again–unless this issue is used as lever to discredit the entire “minorities first” ideology–the majority must bend and accommodate the minority–even a flat out victory on the whole extra-weird sexual minorities (trannies, “non-binary”, etc.) issue will be pointless.
The problem in the West is simply minoritarianism. This idea that majorities must accommodate minorities, rather than the reverse. That being a minority gives you some sort of special status and privilege. That a nation does not belong to its core people–the productive normies who follow their ancestors in maintaining the nation, making it function and passing it on to their children.
Minoritarianism is upside down, toxic and cancerous. No nation or civilization can survive with an ideology of negating itself. That whole ideology is what has to be utterly defeated–chucked out wholesale–to save the West.

Sure, it makes perfect sense. The small group of plotters who orchestrated the attack tried to take steps to protect America from any possible blowback, so they organized the Crimson Contagion exercise from January to August 2019 in which state and federal officials practiced their defense against the sudden appearance of a dangerous respiratory virus in China. They also got the DIA to produce a secret report describing the "potentially cataclysmic" disease in Wuhan...just before it actually occurred. Probably none of the people involved in those projects were aware of the biowarfare attack, but they were just manipulated into taking steps against some new natural virus suddenly appearing.

And yet, the more I think about this, the more I fear we may be underestimating the sheer brilliance of Putin’s farsightedness. After all, we’ve recently heard that Putin is always followed by his thyroid-cancer specialist:
Surgeon Yevgeny Selivanov, of Moscow’s Central Clinical Hospital, has flown to the Russian leader no less than 35 times in Black Sea resort Sochi, his favourite place of residence. The respected doctor’s thesis – showing his area of medical expertise – was entitled: ‘Peculiarities of diagnostics and surgical treatment of elderly and senile patients with thyroid cancer’.
Surely Putin must have (perhaps in the course of any irradiation treatments) come to understand the salvific power of atomic radiation, and the exuberant youthful glow it gave to his formerly sallow complexion. Moreover, consider the steroids those irradiated soldiers are now receiving. Putin must have seen (assuming he, too, has had steroid infusions as part of his chemo) the miraculous way in which steroids serve to strengthen an individual’s rationality, keep him on an even keel, and prevent him from making rash and impulsive decisions.
Plus, we’ve had two threads recently about von Neumann — but I ask you, what about that other great American intellect of the nuclear age, Stan Lee, and the copious data he has compiled over the decades about the countless benefits of radiation, and of being bitten by radioactive creatures? Why hasn’t anyone brought that up? Is this ragtag group of soldiers who have inhaled radioactive dirt particles perhaps the seeds of a future army of green-skinned supermen smash-smashing their way all across Ukraine? In short, I am worried we have yet again failed to grasp — in the way that only the fanboys can — the vast infinitude of possibilities in this “apparent” setback (as the puerile intellects of the MSM characterize it) that Putin’s far more advanced mind has already crunched out and assessed.

I suppose if you’ve always wanted to try anal or a threesome, a white woman is the way to go, but if a man is serious about marriage and starting a family he should choose an Asian or Hispanic woman.
White people have an outgroup preference that will be their undoing. Perhaps a new hybrid race can be created that has more of a sense of self protection.
Hahaha.
The rich could give a damn about the environment. They scream that the working class must give up all of their luxuries and live in poverty to ‘save the planet’ – luxuries they the rich themselves will never surrender – but at the same time they constantly push to jam ever more people into the world, wiping out any gains in efficiency.
Until recently, Canada had a relatively stable population of about 25 million. Even though they had a high standard of living, the environmental impact of Canada was – by my rough calculation – about 2 percent of that of India, a place where the standard of living is crushed to bare subsistence, lower than that of late medieval Europe! But with 1.2+ billion people on a third of the land mass of Canada, well, of course.
Bottom line: with a moderate population and some care in the use of resources, a high standard of living is not bad for the environment. But if people are persuaded to breed like rodents, the land will be stripped bare, the rivers will run with filth, and the skies will choke with soot even if the average person is crushed to subsistence. But the rich will make a lot of money, so it’s all good.
‘Sustainability’ is a con designed to make the working class love their coming poverty.
What does this have to do with the original comment?
It’s closer to the original comment than the original comment was to the topic of Steve’s post. Everything is connected to everything else, as someone named Escher should know.
Besides, sometimes it’s refreshing to take a break from “blame the Jews” with the occasional “blame the Brits”, which has a much older footprint in America.
Black females have replaced white males as the most favoured and pampered American demo. And this coup d’etat happened quickly
It did? When was the last time white males were “pampered” in this society?? Even in the 1920s (and arguably as late as the 1950s) white males were expected to be competent, industrious, and productive, if they expected the slightest bit of respect. Pampering never entered into it.
Come to think of it, this is still expected of white males–and asians too. Who else?

In other news, oil rig workers and long distance truckers will continue to sleepwalk their way through their jobs in February.
But a disagreement over a coffee maker before I arrived — he didn’t own one, and for reasons I couldn’t fathom, didn’t want to have one on hand for my visits — pushed me over the edge

In my family when growing up we believed in America as the land of liberty – freedom of expression was at the core of it.
Now the elites and their moronic followers are building a new America, an anti-America. Their project is totalitarian. The very rapid collapse of US hegemony (the Empire) is driving forward an inward turning of US terror from against the world to against its own people.
As far as I am concerned America is over. Let it collapse. In fact collapse is what must happen to even save some of it but even that is unlikely. This is very similar to how the early Christians acquired political power then proceeded to dismantle and destroy the ancient world and were as tyrannical and oppressive as the Roman Empire and in many respects were even worse. The collapse and self-destruction are steamrolling across America and as much as I respect and honor those that say No to it I know they will eventually be ground down.
Let’s see how long the taboo against intermarriage with South east Asia lasts, once the male-female ratio crosses a certain threshold and Chinese women completely embrace the western attitude of living for themselves and not forming families.
Rural south Korean men have been marrying Filipino, Vietnamese and women from similar countries for a few years now.
IMHO it is a sign of insecurity and credential waving when someone (Ms. Cook) uses the title “Dr” in their Twitter handle.
Joe, U-VA has an honor code that, until recently, only had one penalty (aka "the single sanction"). They've recently added something called "informed retraction". The honor system is run by the students, and periodically the students vote on whether to keep it, to water it down, or whatever.
The University of Virginia...
My take is that the black violation rate has come down as “Black” majors have been added. They don’t need to cheat to just write “I am oppressed” on everything. Now their sanction rate is about 1/3 of what you’d expect given their percentage of the student body (just in the past few years) – I’d guess a lot of that is professors and other students overlooking Honor offense by blacks rather than risk becoming the Racist Of The Month.
LOL to that.
The basic idea behind this code created by Rice students in 1916 was that you were supposed to conduct yourself like an officer and gentleman of the Confederate Army: What Would Robert E. Lee Do?
Lose (gallantly)?
All they have to do is untie one of the bouncy castles and send in the SWAT teams to take it down.
The rest is collateral damage.
Thandiwe Newton apologized to "darker-skinned actresses" in an emotional interview while promoting her new film, God's Country.
Newton, 49, teared up on Wednesday while discussing her new role as a professor who confronts two white hunters on her property. God's Country is based on James Lee Burke's short story, in which the lead (Newton's character) is a white man.
She's also sorry that light-skinned mulattas like her are more successful with the guys than their darker-hued sisters....
"I've wanted so desperately to apologize every day to darker-skinned actresses. To say, 'I'm sorry that I'm the one chosen. My mama looks like you,'" she continued, before covering her face.

Thandiwe added, "It's been very painful to have women that look like my mom feel like I'm not representing them. That I'm taking from them. Taking their men, taking their work, taking their truth."
Her hubby looks pretty much 100% white.

This is pure 1000% concentrated Hindutva low IQ propaganda. Check out science journey channel on youtube where it is proven that European translation of Sanskrit was correct and matches the translations done by Indians brahmin scholars including Geeta Press. This is typical anti-British Hindutva ass fart propaganda based on gas and not truth,
Some Europeans, especially German and British scholars learned Sanskrit and interpreted the oldest Scriptures known to the mankind, Vedas in their own way and came up with entirely made up Aryan invasion theory to justify their invasion and pillage.
Again the ramblings of a low IQ Hinduvadi and typical Hindutva anti-British fake propaganda. Firstly Macaulay was not Governor General of India ever. Lord Macualay was an abolitionist Whig who fought to end slavery. Macaulay allowed modern English education in India but traditional education was allowed and even supported. Indeed Macaulay even said that via modern education, if Indians started asking for political rights, it would be England's most proudest moment. Hinduvadi low IQ fartings are even worse than low IQ Afrocentrist or Marxists lies and fart-propaganda, they just fart out anything from their asses. For Macaulay in 1833, the issue was between stagnation and progress, between the mentality of despotism and that of liberty; and he could not hesitate between them. England should bestow the most precious treasure of her heritage, the living conscious spirit of her civilization, upon India. Modern English Education. He was not indifferent to the possibility that this might lead India to demand political freedom. If it did, said Macaulay, that would be “the proudest day in English history.” Macaulay wanted liberty, not slavery. Brahmins are good at farting bullshit out of their asses all day and they kept on spreading these anti-British fartings 24/7 taken in by low IQ buffoons who never checked facts. Can you explain that if the British hated traditional Indian education so much, why did Governor of Bombay Jonathan Duncan start the Sanskrit College at Benares in 1791 to promote the study of Hindu laws and philosophy in Banaras. (In 1958, the Sanskrit College became a university and in 1974 the name was changed to Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.)
Governor General Macaulay in 1830s approached then Queen of England and proposed and granted a devastating plan, from which India has never recovered. He realized white man can never rule India for long time. According to that plan, the best and the brightest Indians (who were mostly Hindus) were brought to England at young age and educated in their premier institutions there.
Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Bal Gandhadhar Tilak etc... all of these patriots were all Macaulians too. All of them were Western educated. Indeed all anti-British revolutionaries were Western and even England educated Hindus (hardly any Muslims), so Macualay's supposed "plans" failed.Replies: @JohnnyWalker123, @frontier, @Anon
Many politicians including but not limited to Nehru and Gandhi (Indira and Sonia Gandhi) and majority civil servants of India even today are Macaulians (
How representative is this of common people in India?

Regarding the observations of this ye olde English writer Grant, centuries of subjugation have a way of twisting the character of a people.
Doesn’t make the observations of the author any less valid though, about Indians preferring to hire their own kind when they get to positions of power.
However, the same behavior can be observed among whites when they are in a minority.
In Singapore they are notorious for stacking management positions with their fellow countrymen.
If that is true, it would have to be Brahmanical subjugation or Islamic. British rule had just began.

With a population close to 130,000,000, Japan is still under 20,000 deaths without full-population vaccinations, without lockdowns, without N95-for-all, etc and with a very aged population.
But we certainly don’t want to try to learn anything from Japan. Japan with its ultra-fatty meats. Japan with its consumption of seafoods. Japan with its love of cartiledge, livers, hearts, and innards. Japan with the lowest BMI among industrialized countries.
By all means, let’s remain silent on what made America susceptible and put all our energy into enriching pharmaceutical companies more and more.

Your perspective seems tailor-made to suit the broken ego of a white female, who is struggling to compete with Asian women for men’s attention.
However, it isn’t true. Marriages between white men and Asian women have risen since 1980. And, Asian men in the West have out-earned white men for decades. So money isn’t a big deal at all.
Asian women really do prefer white men, for reasons including their looks, like most women. However, the catch is that these intermarriages aren’t motivated by Asian female desire for white men. It’s the opposite. All races of men prefer Asian women, and it is this preference that drives the intermarriages.
It has been demonstrated again and again that men tend to prefer women of East Asian and mixed-Asian appearance.
The reason for this universal preference among men is biological. Asian women are the pinnacle of female beauty, whereas evolution has not cleaned up the latent “maleness” of white women.

Marriages between White men and Asian women are over twice as frequent as those between White women and Asian men. Recent research has proposed that this imbalance may be explained by the finding that, on average, White men are perceived as more attractive than Asian men, and Asian women are perceived as more attractive than White women, possibly because Asian faces are perceived as more feminine than White faces. Here, we explore whether Asian faces are perceived as more feminine than White faces.
Even white men who married white women don’t truly prefer them. That much is obvious to married white women, who seem to seem to pay a psychological toll from proximity to Asian females.

According to Lundström there is much focus on whiteness in Singapore. Ads for skin whitening products are common, and whiteness is the ideal. But the ideal of beauty is not a white, blond western woman.
“Western women were ranked below the Chinese in the racial hierarchy. The western whiteness is not as posh as the Singaporean, Chinese whiteness,” says Lundström.
Swedish women in the US were very preoccupied with American men, whereas the Swedish women in Singapore were not the least interested in Asian men. They focused on their Swedish husbands. Asian women, on the other hand, represented a possible rival, since Swedish men found Asian women attractive.
“The Swedish women in Singapore were almost desexualised. They felt less feminine,” says Lundström
Given that Asian women continue to select for white men in the West, even when Asian men have earned more money and built their countries up to 1st world status, I think your prediction is highly improbable.

Money is a proxy for power. But money by itself is hollow without power.

As an Asian woman, I can assure you that I don't prefer white men or their looks — at all. But thanks for telling me that men of all races apparently prefer women like us and that we are the pinnacle of beauty. 💁🏻♀️

Money is only one of the symbols of status and power, but not the end-all-be-all of the picture. A lot of Asian men in the west unfortunately act like submissive, neutered kittens. They have zero status, zero confidence, and zero power — and that's not attractive no matter how much they earn. Money means nothing when a man can't protect his woman. His income means nothing when he, due to his inferiority complex, keeps lowering his head in submission to other men that are clearly being aggressive to him and his entire race.This pattern is, however, starting to change in the east. Already, China is economically and geopolitically challenging (if not surpassing) the USA. White worship is in rapid decline in China, where especially the 90 and 00 generations have regained a new sense of appreciation for and confidence in their own culture. I estimate that China will still need another half century or so to also dominate over the west on a cultural level, but when that finally happens the status and power of Asian men will, along with their perceived attractiveness, also rise above that of white men in the eyes of women.As I said before:
Given that Asian women continue to select for white men in the West, even when Asian men have earned more money and built their countries up to 1st world status
But with China's steady rise and the west in rapid decline, this will increasingly be the perception that Asian women have of the modern white men.

Agree, but US actions suddenly make more sense if you drop the erroneous premise that the US is acting in its national interest, or that the US is even allowed to have a national interest.
Try swapping in the premise that the Federal government is the tool of transnational oligarchs, and see if that works better.
