1) debatable
2) their inclusion has been more recent
You'd also have to look at assimilation rates
Anybody can see that Jewish overrepresentation in Ivy League schools is literally screwing East Asians.
Korean and Japanese pop culture is generating weebs, and China is now seeping into our politics
So believable
Not going to address the actual topic at hand?
You mean the dominance of our major institutions by men in small hats?
>implying I care about the privilege shit
I mean the fact that you're underselling Eastern influence on Western culture, Mr Weeb
Um, just because it's influential doesn't mean it's influence is the dominant one
or the most destructive
You're going to have to provide proof of both of those, without resorting to giving Jews credit for German output as well :^)
Related to the libertarian discussions up above: I may be so bold as to say that Matt and I both likely fall under the "paleolibertarian" label, trying to balance out our desire for a conservative culture with the skepticism of government power to make that desire a reality
I'd say I'm largely on the same page as Matt, as far as I can tell
I don't know what he would make of some of my newer, growing convictions
It's a difficult balance, to be sure
Oh I mean I think universal franchise with no strings was maybe a mistake
I'd probably agree
Hell, I think Matt would too if I remember his comments correctly. The problem is that he doesn't have a good idea of what some ideal requirements would be
Ive never even heard of the expression "paleolibertarian before"
The more you know
I've been trying to dismantle the Heinlein/SST requirement of serving your country and having right to serve being a central guarantee. I can't really find any reason to ditch it
I think everyone should serve at some capacity imo
I don't think it should be forced but the tradeoff is no vote
Maybe not serve, but atleast go through basic training
Reserves
As far as the socially liberal/conservative thing goes, I tend to look at what's worked and what doesn't and go from there. I think it should be up to communities though
Well like I said before I'd want any public schooling to include education on firearms and first aid
I tried real hard to figure out the most succinct way of explaining my political views to someone. So the combo of paleoconservative and libertarian seems to work
As per 2A being a necessary component of civics
We just need to get back at a society of the mindset, what can we do for the country instead of the other way around, like JFK said famously before he got yeeted
I dont think that saves you from the current mindset though
There's a Wikipedia article for it an everything
AOC thinks she's doing good things for her country
AOC needs to be thrown out of a helicopter
I prefer to think of it in terms of "Am I both comfortable with myself and/or my opponent having this power?"
I like the idea of conscription tbh, seems to be working really well for Switzerland atleast
Not a fan of "you were born here so we can vote for you to go die for us"
But we already have that
The draft?
Beemann, Heinlein has the most consistent vision of civic nationalism I've ever heard. Except maybe for Islam.
