“I lied about you but if you don’t read and respond to an essay I, a person with 1/16th your following, wrote then you’re a clout chaser.
Amazing lack of self awareness.
@christopherrufo I wrote a long essay in response to you which you could read and respond to if you were serious about debate on not just clout chasing on Twitter.
To give you an idea of scale, during the Rape of Nanking, Japanese soldiers were estimated to have raped 20 to 80 thousand Chinese women.
This report estimates at least 250 thousand women were victimized by these Muslim rape gangs.
For both America, and England, it would be the writer(s) of Beowulf, not Shakespeare.
The Anglos are one people, with regional variations, but one people.
For there to be an “American Homer” the answer would have to be immediately obvious to everyone, to such a degree that doubting it would immediately mark you as an eccentric. E.g the Italian Homer is Dante. So that this is even a question shows there isn’t one.
Literally every major city in the world like this.
Every major city in every country is the same globo-homo culture.
If you want to actually see the native culture of a country you cannot go anywhere with a population over 1 million in the greater metro.
and the handful of women it does attract are generally insane and will constantly try to get you into fights with strangers because “my boyfriend trains UFC!”
The fitness level helps though, that attracts
What the fuck man!?
Ok here’s some actual attractive hobbies then:
-Playing Guitar
-Surfing
-Photography
-Boxing/ MMA
-Hiking/ Rock-climbing
-Country/ Western Dance
I know many dudes these hobbies have worked out for. Chicks dig a guy who has things going on.
Ash Sarkar is a British citizen who was born in London to a British citizen as has lived in the UK as a British citizen her entire life. Her family can trace its roots in this country back at least 50 years.
Where are you proposing she is deported to?
There’s a certain amount of survivorship bias built into this. These people have 10s if not 100s of thousands of descendants who are not wealthy, some of which probably have the same surname as the wealthy descendants.
A wealthy family is supposed to lose its fortune over time, and the reason is pure math. Every generation splits the money among more children. Run that for 600 years and a single rich family from 1427 should have its wealth scattered across hundreds of thousands of descendants by now, each holding a sliver of nothing. That is how dynasties are supposed to die. Slowly, by division.
Florence is where it did not happen. The same surnames that sat at the top of the city's tax records in 1427 are still sitting at the top today. Two Bank of Italy economists proved it by lining up the 1427 census, a ledger the city only created because it was nearly bankrupt from a war with Milan, against Florence's 2011 tax records. Roughly 20 generations apart. The rich names never moved.
Then they measured how strong the pull was. Long-run earnings elasticity of 0.04. That sounds like nothing until you remember what standard models predict after 20 generations. Zero. An advantage was supposed to fade inside three generations. This one was still showing up after twenty.
Wealth held even tighter than income. Start at the bottom of the 1427 distribution versus the top, and the gap between them is still 12% today, six centuries later.
Here is the part that should bother you. When economists track mobility one generation at a time, they measure an elasticity around 0.3 to 0.5 and conclude advantages fade fast. But a single generation of income is noisy. A rich kid has a bad decade, a lazy heir, a plumber next door who gets lucky. Strip that noise out by following the same bloodline across centuries and the real number jumps to about 0.75. Gregory Clark found that same 0.75 in England, Sweden, China, and India. Different countries, different centuries, one stubborn constant.
At 0.75 per generation, an elite family does not return to average in three generations. It takes ten to fifteen. Three hundred years and up. The exponential math of the family tree should have buried these fortunes a dozen times over. It did not even dent them.
Barone and Mocetti gave the force a name. The glass floor. The children of the rich do not fall through it, and 600 years of tax records are the receipt.
You only need 1 each generation to keep the family name alive and when you have big families the odds are that bad. 1/10 kids 1/100 grandkids 1/1000 great-grandkids etc, as long as one doesn’t fuck up the name and wealth stay and build.
Even in the west the data seems to be way off. Grocers and cell phone providers estimate the UK could have as much as 50% more population than official census suggests and that the US is close to if not over 400 million.
remember the Chinese dissident last year claiming the pop of China is ~500m and not 1.4b?
the historically questionable reporting by Nigeria? the fact that DR Congo hasn't run a proper census in 40 years?
India claiming 900m live in rural areas, while having great trouble actually measuring said areas?
pop numbers outside the West are likely from mildly off to vastly off
@jayanth5599@_Zojka It’s definitely easier to get a new job than to vote in a government that actually does what they promise.
The UK has voted to lower or completely stop immigration in 20 of the last 23 elections and never once gotten it. Immigration increased every year except 2 during Covid.
Ilia idolized Conor and has now mirrored his career almost 1:1. Two title wins at 145, a single win at 155 then lose the belt.
Only thing he’s missing is going 1-1 against a career journeyman and then boxing a GOAT.
Does anyone know who this is? The guy in the blue shorts
Because it’s not Ilia Topuria. At least not the Ilia that I know
I genuinely don’t recognize the fighter I was watching in the cage last night
People overhyped Ilia and didn’t look at the fight objectively. They were calling him the GOAT after 3 wins (crazy impressive wins but still 3 wins)
He’s a featherweight fighting a fairly large LW who is known for being insanely durable and dragging everyone into dogfights.
Probably because the evidence doesn’t support it. It’s just feel good hippie nonsense.
Poor people don’t commit crime because they’re poor. Poor people commit crime and are poor because they’re have low impulse control.
I unironically believe one of the main reasons I have a giant fascination with troons is because I'm enamored with their ability to grow their hair back somehow.
