What is the purpose of the mainstream press?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

This is a textbook omitted-variable problem. GDP per capita, government effectiveness, social trust and education all move with both scores; once they are controlled the electoral-democracy coefficient usually shrinks or vanishes. We end up focusing on the wrong things.

@_Aetheron @ArthurMacwaters One study found 22 self-reported offenses for every conviction. Rearrest rates therefore miss most offending. A society that will not lock up high-rate violent repeaters is actively choosing more victims.

@BuckSexton God and individuals may forgive. The state must not. Mercy is not its purpose; treating public justice as private pardon is a social-contract error that weakens a just society.

@Noahpinion The paradox of globalism: you end up fighting for the forces that want you dead.

@safewordsorg If British society won’t protect its young girls, maybe it shouldn’t survive.

@Rachellane9606 @nypost Bodegas don't sell healthy foods because no one buys them. If you limited food stamps to healthy food, the poor could get free GLP-1s instead of free soda. Miracles would happen.

My mom died when i was born
My dad drank himself to death when I was 17, I found him dead in my grandma's guest bedroom
At 13 I found my uncle dead in his trailer, not too much longer after that my other uncle died sitting up in his truck from alcohol
I lived with my grandparents growing up, I watched my grandfather SUFFER with lung cancer from smoking, I knew he was about to die but finding him dead hit me worse than anything, then finally at 25 my grandma, the lady who raised me died, iv literally watched everyone i loved die, it fucked me up, i did ALOT of drugs and have spent a few years in prison
BUT!
NONE of these things made me want to go out and hurt others, especially take innocent peoples lives
Fuck the excuses, put this fucker away for good

@Blacknatwatch @cremieuxrecueil Aside from the few who actually create real value, maybe most of elite academia shouldn’t exist.

🚨 DR. PRASAD: “Fauci knew by the summer [of 2021] the vaccine doesn't halt transmission … The Biden mandate was clearly unethical … Fauci knew that, and he documented that in his diary … That's not a scientific position. That's manipulating science to achieve a policy goal.”

@endofunk_ @Demsindissaray @CashShit99 @Geiger_Capital North and South America have long been majority European-descended and mestizo by genetics and culture. There is nothing wrong with preserving that mix and its cultures against large-scale demographic replacement from other continents. Progressivism today is simply anti-Western.

We are worried these men will rape, so let's give them an underclass of women it's acceptable to rape.

This is why they pretended the grooming gangs weren't happening, they thought working class girls were an acceptable group to absorb the violence.

@avidseries Handsome profile picture there, my friend—learn from yourself. Stop treating a universal tactic as insight just because one group uses it. Get mad that mainstream media does the same for their cause du jour. Your valid point only gives them license.

Bernie is making a critical error:

He's using the OECD's measure of relative poverty, which is the proportion of children living in households with incomes below 50% of the national median

In other words, an inequality measure, not a poverty measure

Here's a real QoL measure:
