While it is unfortunate and even embarrassing for a developed country, I wouldn't say the general state of affairs for most of the middle of the population is like a developing country. People can still for the most part access human services, but the issue is that unless you're rich, you go...

It irks me endlessly that American progressives can't distinguish between Europe and Canada, let alone the individual EU member nations which do vary in policy. In terms of healthcare many Western European countries would be good models for the US to follow, and I don't see why we couldn't have...

I had platinum blond hair when I was a baby, and it has gradually darkened like in most people. Since adolescence it is a very dark blond shade, almost brown, but it becomes more clearly blond if I spend enough time in the sun (which I try not to do because of my skin) or get it cut short. The...

Trump voters represent a intellectual underclass. The progressives who overestimate their own intelligence are barely any better than the Trump voters they look down upon; it's just they trust 'very smart people' more blindly. The point may be trite especially on here but as an American who has...

I would also add a) the ruling class that enables them (i.e. the neoliberal establishment), b) woke, coastal, elite-educated progressives who go into debt slavery from useless degrees and astronomical rents and drag the country down with them by enabling the worst elements, criminality...

It's hilarious to see woke progressives in this country praising Europe and ingratiatingly disparaging their own country in favor of West European ones, completely ignorant of the fact that "gender-affirming care" for minors, ethnic (and now religious) riots, and sectarian identitarianism are...

R1b aside, Ben Shapiro looks clearly alien to the majority of continental Europe, as do many Jews of recent European origin, because they belong to an ethnicity that is indigenous to the Middle East. No woke whining will change that. It doesn't surprise me to see Roma who look non-European; why...

Some influence on height and a few other things. I find it highly doubtful that the mutations of a few SNPs that determine a haplogroup will affect a man's appearance, especially so as to render a physical similarity to all the men carrying that haplogroup.

Even the Mountain Jews of Azerbaijan who speak Farsi have a scarcity of both Iranic and Turkic Y-DNA haplogroups; their Y-DNA is closer to other Jews. Georgian Jews are genetically distinct from Georgians, and closer to other Jews. Sephardic Jews are distinct from other Mediterranean populations...

It wasn't the repudiation of wokeness I was hoping for, and now we get to hear more BS from the establishment about how young Americans are reliably woke, which as a Zoomer I can personally attest to isn't true. Give us more postmodern critical theory garbage and watch just how negatively the...

Also, to our European brethren keeping track of the US, American political satire has become an unintentional self-parody. Boomer comedians obsess day and night over our former president, completely ignoring the current one and his many faux pas like claiming inaccurately that his son died in...

Sorry, I meant about the idea that Democrats need to be exiled from the American political landscape. Cashless bail isn't going very well for us, I agree.

Yeah, there were horrible mistakes that led to near misses a couple times. Then you equip a terroristic thug like Putin and a senile old man like Biden with command over the nuclear arsenal and it's not good. I trust in the deconfliction mechanisms we have though.

Oh please. It's not happening. It's really upsetting that the local gov had to make a PSA about this. Absolute incompetence. Someone should be fired.

Nauseating. I really wish Putin admirers would set one foot in post-Soviet immigrant (Russian, Ukrainian, Uzbek, etc.) neighborhoods here, and see what happens. People have started naming and shaming Putin supporters. Among the Russian community there are whisper networks, because a lot of these...

I mean, that's a little extreme, but I agree with the notion that progressive policies in the US, especially the messaging, are inconsistent and incoherent. You have to understand that there's a tacit coalition between the center-left and the far left behind the Democratic Party. The...

It would be helpful to clarify the "Semite" part. Northern Semites (Jews, Assyrians, Druze, and Arabized peoples of the Fertile Crescent and Levant) are indeed close to Europeans because they have admixture other than Basal Eurasian. They have "Unknown Hunter-Gatherer" ancestry, plus usually at...

Add to that rampant inequality that economic elites have no intention of addressing. This is playing with fire.

It's funny how even most conservatives I know here who were opposed to the restrictions throughout–and I've opposed most of them myself–have gotten the vaccines. Most of those would still fervently oppose making it mandatory. BTW there is nothing "leftist" about supporting mandatory vaccination...

This is a description of literature on the remains from Hotu Cave. Some of the samples may not have been anatomically complete, and I don't know whether the DNA extracted from "IIIb" is the same as Hotu III. The general character is robust individuals with a prominent chin, robust zygomatic...
