@VivekGRamaswamy It's great that you don't claim to be a victim of people calling you a street-shitter, a jeet, a pajeet, a dalit, a dasyu, a brownoid, a chad cowshit enjoyer, a demon worshipper, a scam artist, an anchor baby, a nepo-baby, a skinny, a social climber, a wannabe, a nerd, a dweeb..
@MaxNordau That's because our religious tradition encourages forgiveness, whereas yours espouses eternal blood feuds. And we don't want anything to do with your bronze age vendettas. We'd forgive you too, just have to ask.
@TruueDiscipline No, the thought experiment is sufficient, because you are assessing perception. Everyone perceives the university that lowers standards produces sub-standard graduates. Everyone perceives more exclusive standards produce more proficient graduates. Degree worth is in perception.
@RichardHanania Bleed for it, build for it, bind yourself to its fate, and better it. If you do those things for the country, you become a part of the people. This is how the Ellis Islanders assimilated. Extractive modern immigrants aren't meeting the requirements.
@AlexNowrasteh My ancestors accomplished what they did, good or bad, for the sake of their offspring. Not for random foreigners who claim equivalence, yet remain tribal, insular, and clannish; parasitizing the works of my forefathers, and denying my children the benefit of their legacy.
@kmele Not morality, but ownership. Who does America belong to? Not everyone. Who does the American govt serve? Not the world. Whose rights does the govt protect? Who should benefit from the labor and intellect of Americans? Whose children should inherit the works of our fathers?
@HarmeetKDhillon The vultures hovering over Kirk's carcass are certainly repugnant, but don't discount the voices calling for real action from the administration. The Dems will jail you, Harmeet, when they get back in power. Act like it. The mandate was an overthrow the bureaucracy. Get to work
There's a preference cascade towards feminine social norms that occurs when a third woman enters a space, regardless of the number of men

@romanhelmetguy I've started translating the 24 dynastic histories of China. Have translated the first 16 chapters so far. I rigged it so the original and translations show side by side and clicking any piece of text highlights it in both languages. https://t.co/Tl8dwKJINF
@Kahlissee God curses Israel on a non-stop basis. It's the whole premise of the Old Testament. The "Chosen People" were chosen to suffer for all time for their persistent iniquity.
@conor64 Yes. This is a story about dignity, glory, and honor. The American equivalent of tales of medieval knights. The enemy general can be an honorable man too.
