Imagine the CCP buying up truckloads of table salt just to mask population levels crashing.

Long overdue. We cannot accept centralised control over information streams wether done by governments of private entities.

Edward Dutton, in his book 'Islam: An Evolutionary Analysis', claims that islam, if followed strictly, suppresses phenotypical intelligence. Wether it's getting up at inconvenient times to pray, causing chronic sleep deprivation, to abstaining from food and water during daytime while fasting, to defining intellect first and foremost in terms of rhote memorisation of holy scripture, and corporal punishment of children, all to some degree suppress the potential for intellectual development within the bandwidth that one's genetics allow. Another factor might be that islam allows less leniency regarding its own doctrines, meaning they close themselves off from newly developed knowledge if it runs contrary to islam, whereas Christianity and Judaism allow for much more mental gymnastics to allow both a pursuit of traditional religion as well as embracing new technological and social insights.

The Japanese are the most based people in the world. Their cultural exploits reflect that, wether it's anime, video games, or the fact that they have embraced European classical music and gotten incredibly good at it.

Both Ethiopia and Armenia adopted Christianity as their state religion before the Roman Empire did.

No they don't. The US pays around 5 billion dollars annually to Israel and that's not welfare. It's a payment for policing the Middle East. If the US had to do this themselves they'd have to spend 3-4x that amount, mostly due to logistical issues stemming from being located 1000s of miles away, and be less good at it. After all, fighting for abstract geopolitical goals is harder to motivate oneself for than fighting for one's own country. US military aid to Israel amounts to less than 1% of its GDP or 4% of its government expenditure. Cutting this aid (which would be incredibly stupid) would be a problem, but not an insurmountable one, for Israel to deal with. Also, the Israeli welfare population isn't like the welfare population in Western countries. They're not hordes and hordes of low IQ people with employment resistant personalities. Ultra-Orthodox Jews have a strongly intellectually oriented culture and also a far higher degree of rule following, devout religious communities like that also demand high levels of in-group loyalty and pro-sociality. Meanwhile, the precariat in the West largely consist of the dumbest and most antisocial elements of society. Ultra Orthodox people with characteristics like the typical Western welfare recipient will either have low status within the community or end up leaving it because they're not pro-social enough to conform to the very strict social norms within. Tapping into the huge economic and social potential is a matter of necessity just like accomodation of the ultra Orthodox in the IDF and this will occur. Just as they're now serving in the Army they'll re-join the workforce just like their ancestors living in Eastern Europe before WWII held their own trousers up economically speaking. That their government is unstable is correct, thanks to proportional representation and a fractured unicameral parliament, but this also means that the Ultra-Orthodox can't expect to take over the country since all the social democrats, national-Zionists, and even secular right wingers (many secular Jews from the former USSR and their families are very right-wing but so secularised that Russian shops sell pork products) will just form a coalition to prevent this. Israeli politics is also becoming less fractured as even the secular population is steadily moving to the right and one of the biggest dividing issues, the Palestinian problem, is becoming less divisive now even the most naive peace advocates are realising that the Palestinians don't want a two-state solution but the Final Solution.

@MA-gu2up That's all completely wrong. Being hypoglycemic suppresses IQ scores and this hasn't been controversial for ages. Why do you think people taking an IQ test are advised to not take it on an empty stomach. Intermittent fasting while stuffing down calorie-rich fatty and sugary food when you are eating (twice a day) is very unhealthy. Not only because of fluctuating blood glucose but also because they increase the risk of excessive caloric intake. You'll eat twice a day, and especially during the evening you'll eat while being very hungry. This is just a recipe for overindulgence and that's a separate issue from the very unhealthy food generally consumed during iftar celebrations. Moderate caloric deficits (10-15%) with a high protein diet including tons of leafy vegetables are healthy for weight loss without losing muscle fibre but that has nothing to do with what Muslims eat during Ramadan. Also, going thirsty will mess up the electrolyte balance and this leads to further problems, like ineffective excretion of waste materials that the body gets rid of via urine. Dehydration even causes hallucinations and if you're slightly dehydrated you won't experience hallucinations but do experience a drop in mental clarity. Ergo: taking part in Ramadan suppresses intelligence. Diabetes and obesity rates among Muslim populations who have easy access to food are sky high. The same diet that causes you to be metabolically unhealthy also suppresses IQ. Also, you're wrong about the second issue. Per capita major innovation levels peaked in Victorian Britain around 1870 at a time when almost everyone was a member of the Anglican Church, and the theory of evolution, which is directly contrary to the creation myth in the Bible, was thought up during this period as well and quickly gained mainstream support even from people who were themselves practicing Christians. The track record of islam is far worse: Muslim fanatics destroyed the library of Alexandria in the 7th century, ordered by Caliph Umar. The Catholic Church censored books but, by and large, didn't have them destroyed. They even kept copies of censored books themselves, and copies of the Greek classics were maintained and studied by monks and theologians. Both Judaism and Christianity allow any part of the Bible except those which are explicitly about God giving laws to His adherents, to be seen as proverbial or mythical in nature rather than literally true. Except for a few groups (like the Old Order Amish) Christian and Jewish populations are all technophilic. Nobel Prize winners skew heavily towards Ashkenazi Jews, even though this trend has been declining. Arab and other major Muslim populations are heavily underrepresented among Nobel Prize winners.

How does a magazine even dare to publish something like that? It's outright diabolical.

@lilbroomstick7914 No, it's the other way around. They just claim to have this sense of sisterhood but meanwhile reality is different. Women are way more likely to engage in psychologically toxic behaviours like reputation destruction and social exclusion. Men are just more likely to be violent but also much less psychologically toxic to other men. Men also socially bond differently, and are more likely to be part of a group of friends whereas women tend to have very intense one on one friendships. This all suggests that the opposite of what you claim, is true.

Taiwan is seeing similar levels of population decline, but they have one advantage: freedom. If people don't think they're just slaves to the system, the fertility rate at least isn't further driven down by that factor alone. China is just a massive open air gulag with skyscrapers and neon lights.

@Liam-iv7wk Upward social mobility is happening due to low fertility rates among the highly intelligent, who decrease in numbers each generation and their positions are increasingly being filled with people who are on the higher end of average intelligence, say around 110-115. In the Netherlands, where tax levels are similarly high, we have had an education minister, Marja van Bijsterveld, who didn't have an academic education and only had a bachelor's degree in nursing and she's not an exception. The current leader of the Dutch Green Party, Jesse Klaver, attended the lowest level of general secondary education (out of 3) in the Netherlands. Canada has a prime minister who's also of only slightly above average intelligence. There's plenty of videos on the topic of the so-called rise of the mid-wits to high positions of power and it's simply a logical outcome of dysgenic fertility patterns.

This isn't true. Paternal age at birth correlates with autism spectrum disorders and that's due to the higher risk of de novo mutations in the sperm of older men.

@ikengaspirit3063 Well-designed stone buildings are comfortable during subtropical summers. Just how many wooden buildings do you think there are in the Greek Mediterranenan islands or the Portuguese Algarve? The only wooden buildings I have seen in southern Portugal are semi-permanent structures like beach clubs or boat houses. Traditional construction in the Algarve is done with stone, masonry bricks, and with the exterior coated in either white plaster or glossy ceramic tiles that reflect the sun.

Opposition to homosexuality isn't driven by fear, but by disgust. Even if there's no relgious reasons behind opposing homosexuality, it's not technically a phobia.

What's your opinion on government grants for high culture, like preservation of monumental buildings, statues, or for instance states or cities maintaining a professional symphony orchestra? Some things worth preserving unfortunately don't pay for themselves but the world will be a worse place if we don't preserve our cultural heritage.

Not just 'art' projects. What about all those prestige projects like urban redevelopments and construction of shopping boulevards in municipalities with a 15-20% vacancy rate for shops? Organising financially unhealthy trade fairs like the Floriade? Or a reconstructed entrance hall for a hospital or a municipal service office built to look grand rather than just low-key and purely functional? (the municipality of Venlo, where I live, is guilty of all of that...) All a complete waste of money. Or, if you'd like, prestige-based long distance pissing competitions for city aldermen.

Nope. A Hikikomori is someone who completely withdraws from the outside world. Involuntary celibates who have an active social life don't meet that definition.

We are already at that point. Idiocracy portrays a functional political system but run by the dumb desires of the masses. Reality will be much worse once the collapse is in full swing.

@Liberatingamericans Urdu-speaking non-tribal Pakistanis are, ethnically speaking, just islamic Indians. Forced marriage is not the norm among Indian Hindus and Sikhs, young single women there aren't controlled by a male guardian unlike in islamic culture, and their ideas about marriage in general are completely different from those of Pakistani Muslims: Hindu and Sikh culture has a really strong stigma against cousin marriage while in Pakistan 50-60% of marriages are between cousins and congenital defects are almost an epidemic. This isn't an ethnic thing. It's islamic barbarism.

@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo Not sure if you ever got the memo but: criminal activity was NEVER protected by freedom of speech and neither is obscenity. There might be certain grey areas but human trafficking isn't one of them. Neither is the sale of stolen goods or drugs, attempts to engage in fraudulent transactions, falsely activating a fire alarm, or falsely reporting that a bomb will be set off somewhere.

@PerfectWorldRPG Companies should be free to engage in censorship of legal speech but that'd turn them into publishers who bear full liability for any content on their platform. Social media companies would never accept that so they'll just refrain from censorship while a newspaper or a recipe website might very well opt to moderate replies on their platform. It's as simple as that. By the way, freedom of speech is an inalienable human right derived from us posessing free will, self-awareness, and personal autonomy. Corporate entities are 100% man-made and if freedom of speech protection for human beings requires curtailing what corporate entities can do? Fine. I don't care. Companies aren't self-aware and they don't have inalienable rights since all their rights (including to exist, the LLC exists purely thanks to a man-made legal framework that arose during the Age of Mercantilism) are man-made and therefore can be amended or even scrapped.

@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo Criminal behaviour isn't protected by free speech and has nothing to do with this whole discussion.

@genericyoutubeuser8957 Wrong! It's not religious Jews sporting a Yarmulke doing the subversion but secular liberal Jews from the US east and west coast active in finance and media. Religious Jews are overwhelmingly traditionalist conservatives who are our allies. Haredi Jews have even visited the American Renaissance conference every year, AmRen has had Jewish speakers at every conference, and Benjamin Netanyahu (himself not even a religious Jew but still a conservative) is a staunch ally of Viktor Orbán, Geert Wilders, Jerzy Duda, and other nationalist leaders in Europe.

This is incorrect. Causing a woman to lose her unborn child is punishable by the payment of blood money to her family, not by death. It was regarded as a crime but as significantly lesser than murder. And not a crime against the child or even the mother herself but against her family.

It's the grape fantasies of Margaret Atwood condensed in what can best be described as 50 Shades for pseudo-intellectuals. Ed Dutton did a talk on this a while back.

@jsbrads1 Sharia explicitly allows sex slavery of non-muslim women, the so-called captives of the right hand. They don't even consider it grape because it's explicitly allowed.

@AllanTidgwell I don't buy into that logic. We're not the owners of our cultural heritage, it belongs to our people and we're only preserving it as a collective obligation to both our forefathers and ancestors. Also, the use of tax money for high culture has a long precedent dating back to the times these works were created in the first place. Cathedrals were financed from church poll taxes. Monasteries owned land and had tenants just like the nobility did. The nobility (who taxed their tenants and in some cases even had serfs, in Russia up to 1861) and also the church used tax money to be patrons of composers, painters, sculptors etc. The salary of Kapellmeister J.S. Bach at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig was taxpayer-funded by every Lutheran living in Leipzig, as was the choir school. I see no problem in continuing that tradition and do not regard it as government waste.
