Once you realise that a paperclip maximiser wouldn't make any paperclips, everything else falls into place. Shit.

@shortmagsmle It had minor effect because ships could just go round Africa instead. Most of them still do. There is no alternative route to get oil out of the gulf.
Now, that means that tankers will be much more motivated to just go for it. But it's not a similar situation.

If someone isn't paying taxes, are they really even alive?
@XianyangCB ?

[Haydn Belfield @HaydnBelfield]

@dividendgrowth1 You're right about the ming-qing, genuinely terrible

For the other, earlier ones, historians are going off tax census data which can show massive, like 60% drops. Measures "how many fewer households are we taxing?" more than "what % of population killed?"

[anomalyuk @anomalyuk]

It's important to add that you can say all this and still say that it worked out pretty well. The USA became the greatest nation on Earth, the greatest in history by many measures. History is complicated: good intentions do not guarantee good results, and vice versa.

[Curtis Yarvin @curtis_yarvin]

We see in history what we bring to it.

For me, this text is not about abstractions, but hard realities. The Declaration bloviates that “he has sent forth Hordes of Officers” and Hutchinson is like: yeah we had to hire like 25 guys to actually enforce the customs. Over and over

“Desecrating the Pride hat” is an interesting way to refer to what I’ve been assured is an entirely non-religious symbol and movement

Zoomers will never understand how funny it is to see GWB as officially "part of the club" here because they were too young during his administration to see how Dems treated him

@aswren The role of Islam in all this is probably moderately significant, but is not very relevant to dealing with the problem, which I think is your correct point.

The role of anti-racism is another matter. That is what has prevented appropriate action being taken for 20 years.

[anomalyuk @anomalyuk]

@aswren I agree with all of this, but it is an important point that there was an "American Italian Anti Defamation League" in the 60s-70s that held that talking about the "mafia" was anti-Italian prejudice, and nobody took it seriously.

TBH, I don't think I agree. Sport has a way of teasing out a romantic association with an ancestral country that is otherwise completely ignored.

@QuiltstarCo I would assume this is a double-barrel surname formed by retaining the maiden name, not some aristocratic thing.

This tweet embodies a misunderstanding of the grooming gang story that I keep seeing.
The story was first exposed by Julie Bindel in the Sunday Times in 2007, and was immediately denied and labelled right-wing propaganda. That is a full decade before #MeToo.

[Kangmin Lee | 이강민 @kangminlee]

Feminists went from "#MeToo," "believe all victims" to denying 250,000 UK girls were raped because the perpetrators are brown

This judge sent a veteran who served in Iraq/Afghanistan to jail for two years over Facebook posts he made in the wake of child murders.

She also let rapist, Rees Newman who SA'd a 13 yo girl go free citing "overcrowded prisons."

Her name is Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, Cardiff.

They didn't flee it. They are coming as conquerors.

[Adam Wren @aswren]

I wrote a little about why I think the Islam/christian framing of the grooming gang issue isn’t the primary motivating factor and instead examining ethnic clannishness & criminal/mafia like behaviour is a framework that leaves us better armed to combat it

@martianwyrdlord “Lord Ahmed of Rotherham was convicted of attempted rape” right wing cartoon line

[Fringe @FringeyFrank]

A leftist will look you right in the eye and say they understand arguments against breeding, against private property, and against humanity living at all, but that they cannot think of a single argument against universal healthcare or suffrage.

Also, women did not have the vote in the US from 1776 to 1920 - 140 years.

Women did have the vote from 1920 to 2026 - 106 years.

So it's actually pretty darned American to not let women vote.

@PstafarianPrice @eigenrobot The level of disfunction in British local government is unbelievable.

To a significant degree this is an organised crime story. The US figured out ethnic organised crime gangs taking over city politics a long time ago. Britain doesn't have an FBI.

[Janet Broughton @JanetBroughto15]

@JChimirie66677 @KathyParr101 Then you can factor in their contempt for Elon Musk’s vast wealth and his habit of voicing his opinion on this government yet they are happy for multi-millionaire Democrat Mike Bloomberg’s organisation to train their Mayors…
