@LoesbyForIdaho @kid_kazuma Fascism arose as a direct response to Marxist Socialism. The most coherent definition, and the way it is used colloquially today, is simply that which opposes Marxism.

@L0m3z @ScottMGreer The Bernie/Trump has been the most underappreciated demographic of the last decade.

This is, as always, solid analysis. Trouble under this framework is that you become franchised hospitality and then subject to the tax & regs thereof. Better to require ‘chore’ disclosure upfront (with a standard chore list) and max cleaning fees per bed.

Here is what is really happening. Airbnb is a publicly traded company in a non-growth market at this point (residential short term rentals). The CEO (Mertz) stated their plans. Chesky (founder) compares their current situation to Amazon when AMZN solely sold books then pivoted to many other niches. Airbnb can’t grow in the vacation rental industry anymore because they’ve already maxed it out.

The problem that Airbnb encountered was the experience from host to host was completely different. Some host rules: “Shut the door, have a safe trip home”. Others: “Wash the dishes, pull all sheets & put them in washer, start washer, put your trash in can (normal request), haul the trash can down the 50 yard driveway to the road next to mailbox (not normal)” The problem was/is: Zero consistency. The guest experience is NEVER the same from one home to the next. And that creates problems. Just look at all the comments in these original posts from yesterday about various guest experiences.

How do you streamline that experience if you’re Airbnb? You move to the hotel model. Or the “McDonald’s model” as I refer to it as. You know that McDonald’s hamburger you get in Iowa is going to taste the same as one that you get from McDonald’s in NYC or Japan or wherever.

That’s where they are going. Why? Because they are trying to capture some of the growth of the hotel industry, which has consistently grown over the last 10 yrs (other than COVID year).

The notion that Haiti has ‘national sovereignty’ is preposterous.

[Nancy Roc @TheNancyRoc]

🇭🇹🇸🇻 À ceux qui pensent que Nayib Bukele peut intervenir militairement en Haïti à la suite de la «disparition » des quatre militaires salvadoriens, je tiens à rappeler ceci :

La volonté légitime du président salvadorien de sauver ses quatre militaires ne saurait justifier une intervention militaire unilatérale en Haïti, en violation de sa souveraineté nationale.

La lutte contre les gangs ne saurait devenir un prétexte pour contourner le droit international. Toute opération militaire doit s’inscrire dans un cadre juridique clairement établi, conformément au mandat de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) et aux dispositions de la Charte des Nations unies.

La gravité de la situation sécuritaire en Haïti ne suspend ni le droit international ni la souveraineté du pays.

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.

Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.

En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.

Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.

Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.

Eras of Internet discourse (I have seen).

Era 1, “The Atheist Wars”, 2007-2013
Contention: “Can Christian believers justify their religion?”
Belligerents: largely young Millennial atheists vs clueless Boomer Christians
Conclusion: Christians showed some justifications for their beliefs, but their beliefs couldn’t be justified under the assumption of materialism. However, there were serious abstract problems with materialism. Also, Practically, Materialism could not justify any moral system, so most other beliefs that atheists cherished were equally debunked by their assumption. Atheists declared victory, but lost functionally since their point was facile.

Era 2, “The SJW Wars”, 2014-2020
Contention: “Should Western Culture be Remade to Better Embody the Progressive Values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?”
Belligerents: Millennial progressive (SJWs) vs Millennial anti-progressives
Conclusion: While DEI values were pushed by moderate PMC institutions, these ideas were exposed as inconsistent with ordinarily Western morality and incoherent in any framework that didn’t assume a radically egalitarian and hedonistic value system. As a result, many progressives admitted that their ideology was radically revolutionary or an extension of some ethnic revenge project. Anti-progressives learned that hostile anti-Western assumptions had been built into the establishment institutions of their countries, and started looking to the problems of liberalism as a vector of corruption.

Era 3 - “The liberal Wars” 2021-2026
Contention: “Do the assumptions of 20th century liberalism (post-Civil Rights) lead directly to DEI?”
Belligerents: Right Millennials Post-liberals vs Liberal Conservative GenX Boomers
Conclusion (projected): The post liberals win almost every abstract question about history and the nature of politics. They have answers for the critical questions like identity, morality and loyalty. They win the hearts and minds of the young. However liberal conservatives Gen Xers will refuse to cooperate and sabotage the debate by kicking the ball into the high grass and then trying to lock young people out of institutions. Thus there will be a stalemate where the old guard is playing for time but still has no victory condition, while the young people scramble to organize and build alternative institutions.

So what’s the next discourse war?

Hard to say. All establishment institutions (left or right)have “lost” the discourse and have no reason to debate. While the younger cohort’s challenge now concerns building and organizing.

There is discourse on how we accomplish that and how we put to bed futile battles (eg the gender war), but those questions are subtle and academic and don’t really fit into the ideas of Internet discourse.

Europas ledare har lyckats med ett otroligt geopolitiskt hattrick: Man gjorde sig beroende av Ryssland för energi, Kina för handel och USA för sin säkerhet, och har på något vänster lyckats bli ovän med alla tre samtidigt.

Ett rent mästerverk i självskadebeteende.

Now that I've let this fester with a day of mostly bad guesses as to what I meant--time for a thread.

@_vinceip_ @okayokay73668 @Noahpinion There is one all male college in the United States. Morehouse doesn’t count.

[Physiocrat @BTCTalks]

@okayokay73668 @MattWalshBlog More than the 1 that currently exists (not counting Morehouse), yes.

[Physiocrat @BTCTalks]

@PaulSkallas @KissaTobacco I live in California.

[Physiocrat @BTCTalks]

@okayokay73668 @MattWalshBlog How many all male colleges are there?

[Physiocrat @BTCTalks]

@PaulSkallas @KissaTobacco On net the proposition system in CA has been terrible. It’s extremely easy to game and frequently overturned by random judges. Legalese is indecipherable to the average voter.

@Wpeez1 @Fla_Mom @tradwifetoday You just listed a bunch of domestic duties tied to the family except for market traders which is, for all intents and purposes, a myth. Of course there were odd lots but its not worth the study.
