American conservatism has a huge human capital problem.
Not a single top 50 college is majority Republican. Without elite human capital, conservatism cannot shape the country in its own image. Low IQ MAGA doesn’t understand this, choosing instead to bash elite institutions.
Im not convinced that Chinese “wage suppression” is the driving factor here rather than the Chinese just straight up out competing them on cost, quality, and innovation.
I think Argentina is less racist than people think. On everyday life is the less racist country in Latin America but it is a country build on a genocide of Indigenous people and an immigration policy that focus on European immigrants
For the idiots painting Argentina as racist + xenophobic, might be worth reading the Argentine Constitution. The preamble promotes the general welfare to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil, article 20 explicitly outlines equal civil rights for foreigners.
The cause of Myanmar is the most noble armed struggle in the world right now. Civilians of different ethnic groups taking arms against a racist military dictatorship fighting for the dream of a multiracial democracy
An incredible, gut-wrenching story about Myanmar's civil war by Hannah Beech. It should get a Pulitzer straight away. Please do read it.

As I've said, praising the United States and being anti-immigration is like praising Saudi Arabia and being Islamophobic. Since the Pandemic, the current Texas leadership has welcomed more than 1 million new migrants and Texas is the 3rd most racially diverse state.
La Municipalidad del Cusco le negó la autorización a la Marcha del Orgullo (solicitada con meses de anticipación, valga decir).
El resultado: La Marcha del Orgullo más multitudinaria que he visto en mi ciudad

@Starkian7789 The funny thing is Bernie Sanders is arguably the most patriotic American politician he even said Open Borders is a Koch Brothers conspiracy. Capitalism means bringing immigrants to weaken unions. Only an American social democracy would decrease immigration
@ApexImperialist@Anubis3214@cornu__copia Uruguay has a very small immigration generally well off Argentinians trying to pay lower taxes and wealthy Westerners trying to find somewhere safe to live but is completely filled with homeless people everywhere
@cornu__copia BTW is curious in Peru there fairly few homeless people outside of some parts of Lima downtown. There are some beggars but usually is kids and elderly people that don't strike me as homeless
@cornu__copia I'm Peruvian and I live in Buenos Aires. It's true that Buenos Aires has impressive architecture but is also filled with homeless people more than they having mental illness it strikes they are alcoholics and junkies
And Ropke, Chesterton, Kirk, Belloc, you could make a good argument for including Nisbet in that camp, too.
There’s a long intellectual tradition on the right of rejecting both socialism and pure laissez-faire “economism.” The upshot is that markets are not self-sustaining but depend on pre-existing or actively cultivated moral virtues, cultural norms as well as legal/political frameworks to function efficiently, humanely, and stably without eroding their own foundations.
Qué desvergüenza de los trolls para intentar torcer la verdad.
FALSO.
NO hubo NINGUNA "liberación de terroristas", fue reconocimiento de la dictadura,en 1996, de INJUSTA ACUSACIÓN DE INOCENTES.
Aquí las cifras hasta 2003.

Striking to realise it was the *Socialist* aspect of early Israel that decisively enabled the creation of a Jewish state, as the Histadrut union made hiring Arab labour difficult & frowned upon. Afrikaaners & US Southerners couldn't resist this allure, to their eventual disaster.
@akarlin I think your take about Finland you could add Estonia as an outlier is interesting. I notice they don't do that well on Math Olympics despite being doing pretty well on PISA
