I’m not against the idea of “diversity” in general, but members of the military SHOULD be included as a group worthy of “diversity” considerations. You’re a minority of the population and you’ve gone through life experiences that are rare outside the military.

The reality is that your chance of getting an academic position regardless of race or gender is close to zero. Do you have any idea of how many PhDs are out there living hand to mouth, taking adjunct jobs (sometimes at multiple institutions in close proximity)? Academics are a drug on the market. White male academics even more so. You’re better off outside of Academia, and I’m sure you’re happier in your chosen career. If you were chasing the dollar, I’m sure you could put your advanced degrees to work, but you might not find the work as satisfying. Your comment sounds bitter, the sort of carping one might hear from a failure. And I’m certain that is not true. We all have complaints, we all have grievances, no? But how we accept unfairness will determine our satisfaction in life. Am I correct in assessing that you find satisfaction in your life?

Why do you think Jordan Peterson has anything insightful to say about global affairs? As a public intellectual he’s kind of a joke, a caricature of a culture warrior. But it’s amazing to me that you can listen to great minds like H.R. and Niall and then that somehow makes you think of Peterson.

I never much liked Tucker Carlson, but I thought the accusations that he was a Nazi were hyperbolic smears. Now I think they are accurate statements about Carlson.

Very interesting. With regard to MORENA and local elections, the candidates for municipal president (mayor) came out to campaign in a little park in my working class neighborhood. I saw very few faces from the neighborhood at the rally. There were 20-30 adults there, many wearing Morena shirts or ball caps. But what was interesting was that there was about a dozen Guardia Nacional positioned around the rally area. I’ve never seen this level of security for a mayoral campaign. In an odd way, it seemed like a show of force. I don’t think Morena is popular here (PAN and PRI candidates get better turnouts, but they give out hats, umbrellas, children’s school bags, etc.) At this rally the MORENa candidate’s campaign staff gave out shopping bags. Kind of chintzy. I’m probably reading too much into it. But it was odd that there was the national guard there, and so many of them. I don’t remember ever seeing a PRI or PAN candidate with more than a couple policemen, if that.

So you didn’t read the book. 😜 Nor did you watch this video. I don’t think you could clown yourself harder than if 40 of you emerged from a Volkswagen Beetle.

So you’re saying that the MoD was telling him the check was in the mail, and they told him that one too many times? Or were they deducting his expenses from his Bakhmut Bonus? Something like that, I think. The MoD was essentially screwing him in a deal. So he ginned up his “Wagner Lives Matter” march, and was too successful too quickly. Instead of the Kremlin offering him a deal, he had to ask them to make a deal before he got to Moscow. He blinked first, which is why he didn’t get as good a deal.

Swift is a demi-leader of a quasi movement that represents tens of millions of voters. She’s not just any celebrity. I think she would have preferred not to endorse one candidate over another, but the Trump campaign stupidly forced her hand by falsely claiming her support. What I don’t see her doing is campaigning for Harris/Walz, but I could be wrong. Woke-ism didn’t damage debating. Television did. Debates have been more and more about style over substance since 1960, when JFK outperformed Dick Nixon.

It’s an old anti-Asian American slur that’s being recycled by the Trump campaign to attack Haitian immigrants. It’s absurd, so people are laughing at it, but I think that many are unaware of the slur’s origins going back more than a hundred years, to a time when Asian immigrants were massacred and burned out of their neighborhoods.

Is Prigozhin wearing a bullet proof vest with cut outs for his boobies?

Read the book already, did you?

You’ve never heard the saying, “politics makes strange bedfellows”? Really, politics doesn’t have to be about tribal identities. If you can figure that out, Dick Cheney and Taylor Swift supporting the same candidate isn’t a mindblower.
