Joe Biden Now 2024 Presidential Nominee

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jill-biden-makes-a-tidal-shift-from-her-thoughts-on-another-run-at-the-white-house/ar-AA15iUM8?cvid=12e692e36144489c925303aa2e43d117

Jill Biden says she wants 4 more years in the White House.

 

Analysis: So Joe is definitely running for 2024. Everyone knows now that Jill is making all of the strategic decisions.

Police "Reform" Is Stupid

Vallejo California police department failed to implement negotiated reforms. Notable for fatal shootings.

Kansas City will settle lawsuits instead of reforming the department.

Police brutality is but a symptom of a corrupt city government. The whole system is rotted through, for police officers to abuse the people. Police officers do violence at the bidding of the wealthy constituents. If the wealthy constituents are corrupt, the officers they hire are corrupt.

Infant Formula Imperialism

FDA formulates a process to certify foreign infant formula manufacturers, so that there will be enough infant formula for American babies. FDA also admits that its inspection process is broken.

So the FDA is now a second-world quality bureaucracy. Similar to the Chinese one. Taking bets on how long until third-world status.

The math of supply and demand directly means that Americans are now driving up infant formula prices worldwide. Meaning that foreign babies will go hungry. This is on top of a global food shortage. For shame, American mothers. Especially because, being overweight, American mothers have more breast and fat to make human breast milk for babies. Compared to foreign mothers. This is Infant Formula Imperialism!

PreSchools are too segregated, because HeadStart spends too much money.

PreSchool is too segregated, because HeadStart regulations makes it almost impossible for a HeadStart preschool to also enroll not-HeadStart students, and vice versa. This is bad because diversity is important for a globalized economy, and studies show that diversity makes everyone better

This piece is stupid. First off, why is it that America should participate in a globalized economy? If globalization is good, why is it that every country is doing less globalization.

Next, assuming America should keep globalize, why is it that any particular person should participate in that global economy. Vast majority of Americans do not export anything of value to the global economy. Global economy is extracting value from them, not the other way around.

And this is assuming that diversity-globalEconomy study is even true. More than 2/3 of social science studies are not replicable, meaning their conclusions are wrong. So most of those "diversity" benefits are most likely nonexistent.

Lastly, keep dreaming of deregulation. The only people supporting more HeadStart are Democrats, and they love regulations. So what they are proposing just will not happen. He is stupid for even proposing this in the first place.

IQ studies and rigorous HeadStart followup surveys have consistently shown that HeadStart and other preschool programs do not improve final academic achievement. It is even possible that HeadStart impart bad study habits on the students.

Kindergarten, Daycare, Childcare, Money

Full-day kindergarten costs money, and is not available to all students. This is bad to parents.

This is what happens when people move away from their tribes for work.

For families, their tribes can do a lot of unpaid work (food prep, childcare, etc), saving money and reinforcing familial ties. One of the reasons why both Capitalism and "Feminism" are bad to families and your psychological well-being

Similar Faces, Similar DNAs

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-08-people-similar-dna.html

Summary: Study of 32 face-similar pairs finds that there is a positive correlation between facial similarity and DNA-similarity. They also find that this correlation holds for educational / socioeconomic achievements and health characteristics as well.

Analysis: This shows that Physiognomy, the formerly lampooned ancient practice, has a DNA-basis as well. "Scientific consensus" can't be trusted.

This also lends credence to people discriminating against other people by looks, and why Hollywood keeps casting some faces as villains. It turns out that our faces have a lot of valuable information.

Postmodernism is Neoliberalism's Handmaid

Liberals now realize that postmodernism supports neoliberalism.

Wages of "Diversity"

American politicians and governments try to manage Monkey Pox messaging while minimizing "stigma" against LGBTQ.

That they are trying to "avoid stigma" is a problem for Diverse mixed societies. And why homogeneous societies are more efficient. Viruses and bacteria don't care about "stigma". Science doesn't care about "stigma". Truth is truth.

Ukraine endangers civilians by colocating HVAs

Amnesty International has accused Ukraine of locating frontline military positions next to civilian residences and other protected places (hospitals, etc). The accusation pointed to positions in all active theaters, as well as at least 1 Eastern logistic node.

This has been obvious, looking at the Ukrainian casualty announcements. There was obviously a reason why Russia keeps bombing population centers, other than Russia being inherently evil. The logic of cost and efficiency dictates that Russia needs to reserve most of its long-range weapons for high-payoff mitary targets, not population centers of dubious effects.

And Amnesty International has concluded that, yes, Ukraine indeed is locating military assets next to civilian locations. It is unclear, for now, if it is deliberate (though probably yes). Given that Ukraine is aware of GPS jamming technologies and military deception techniques, it is also currently unknown if Ukraine applied those methods, to protect its military assets and to maximize its civilian casualties for political gain. (Probably some instances yes.)

This is yet another reminder that we cannot trust any reporting from any wartime governments. They all want to lie.

Urban Corruption: Code Enforcement

People in Nashville, especially property developers, have weaponised the municipal code enforcement against poor people, especially black ones. The metro code enforcement system, with its special courts, is a virtual tyranny on the residents.

More than the more-visible police beatings, municipal ticketing agencies, like the Nashville Metro Code Enforcement, are signs of corruption. And we see here that Nashville is very corroded.

Physician Gender Pay Gap in the News

Female doctor complains about gender pay gap.

Another female doctor blames the higher female doctor attrition to the gender pay gap.

The doctor gender pay gap problem is the same issue as in other industries. Women in general have less competitive drive as men. There are a few women who have same competitive drives as men, but they're in minority. They and seniority accounts for all of the pay gap.

In the military, everybody gets the same pay for the same ranks. Yet women still have attrition problems, and also promoted less than men, despite all the incentives and distortions. Pay transparency and equity will not solve this problem.

Physician man-hours will crash in America. Nothing will fix that problem other than immigration. Although, the rate of Covid-19 mortality keeps going in America, that patient demand problem will magically disappear. Voila.

Children self-segregation appears linked to racism

10 years old appears to be when children learns racism might be fixed, also when they start segregating and limiting their cross-racial interactions.

Interesting.

You will find salvation through manual labor

Robert McNamara (SecDef of Cuban missile and Vietnam, F-111), his son became a farmer in California. His struggles as farmer and legacy of Vietnam.

This is a reminder that human beings almost always find fulfillment in manual labor. This is why urban alienation disproportionately afflict the "knowledge workers", and why manual labor is a therapy for depression. This is also why Buddhism, the religion for PTSD, and Christian monkhood, heavily emphasize manual labor.

USA Imootence on TB-2

The USA cannot control Turkey's TB-2 exports.

The (clearly) political and bureaucratic impotence of the USA against the Turkish TB-2 export program, plainly demonstrates that the USA national security system is too ossified to be effective. Even the currently in vogue Ukraine aid program is constrained by a variety of considerations.

South Africa and Lesson in Reform

South Africa assessment 1 year after riots by the pro-Zuma faction after his corruption conviction. People believe that Ramphosa cannot reform the former liberation party ANC. The rolling black outs ("load shedding") is a visible and persistent reminder of South Africa's structural problems.

This is a lesson that Reform doesn't work at solving the problem. If the organization had the capacity to fix itself, it would have done so right away. The fact that people have to talk about "reform", means it can't fix itself. This is why organizations often stand up new sub-organizations to deal with new problems. Or the conflict is severe enough to get rid of much of the Old Guard, permitting the Organization to essentially rebirth itself during a war.

This article is also another reminder that a Democracy is always ready to shed its democratic consensus, to solve disputes by the force of arms. Any moment people take to the streets, Democracy has failed, and conflict starts.

And South Africa will soon reach Mexico-level of low-grade failed state.

Potential Demonic Activity

A 31-year-old man lured his 76-year-old female neighbor onto her porch (in St Louis suburbs), and killed her on the porch with a baseball bat and a knife. He was living alone, and reportedly had mental health issues. There was no apparent trigger. He played loud music and sometimes screamed inside his house, after his parents moved out last month.

This particular incident seems demonic. Some apparent psychosis and schizophrenia may have a supernatural basis. Chronic use of psychotropic medication or addictive substances may make the user susceptible to demonic influences.

More broadly, the social agitations the past few years, to include the recent spate of public shootings and other violence across the world, may indicate rising demonic activities. To what end, we don't know. But we all need to be more careful.

Asian-Americans now too afraid to see doctors

Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders 95% live in urban area. 20% has experienced hate-crime including assault. And many now are too afraid to use public transportation by themselves to go see doctors, et al. This has severely reduced their appointments at their care providers, but the problem has not been studied by researchers.

As I said before, until "AAPI" are ready to shoot-to-kill, to defend themselves, or segregate themselves, we will continue to have this "problem".

Cats more stressed living with other cats

Cats are more likely to be stressed if they lived with other cats, but not if they live with dogs, according to new study.

Cat Ladies are evil. QED.

United Nations is Evil

UN officials systematically minimize and dismiss all sexual harassment and sexual assault claims against its female employees. UN also consistently retaliates against the whistleblowers and accusers. Some insiders blame the diplomatic immunity of its perpetrators. The allegations reach as high as the assistant deputy secretaries.

Not surprising at all. Given the consistent allegations against the UN peacekeepers everywhere they go, for sex trafficking and sexual assaults, it is only logical that this happens elsewhere in the UN as well.

As I said before, sexual harassment is always an indicator of moral corruption in the organization. If the leadership is not preventing or addressing sexual harassment, then there is definitely moral corruption throughout the organization. Most forms of moral corruption are definitely taking place, if not all of them.

The surest way of preventing sexual harassment is, of course, gender segregation inside the organization. Since that is illegal in America and the West, (and SJWs actively preventing any de facto segregations), moral corruption is inevitable in all Western (and most Eastern) organizations. The only question is in degrees. The #MeToo movement has been effective in starting a de facto segregation, where smarter men have reduced their fraternization with women comrades. Don't shit where you eat, of course. Ongoing SJW activities are building the backlash against coed workplaces. Just desserts for the stupid feminists. Feminism is inherently emotional, so feminists are of course stupid.

"Removing resumes from hiring process helps improve diversity"

Some companies report success at improving "diversity" by not using resumes nor CVs anymore during hiring. One company used an internship process instead of resumes, leading to more female applicants. Other companies used a skills test instead of resumes for screening applicants.

These companies are stupid. This article is a great list of companies NOT to apply to. Better yet, stop buying products and services from these companies, and anyone else doing business with them. They are all stupid.

"Inter-Faith" will not save America

Inter-Faith America wants to save America by "uniting" all religious people.

They are stupid. Or scamming your money.

"Racism" in Social Activities

Reality shows like "Survivor" highlight the social interactions in a racially and gender diverse group. And black people are pointing out that they face a disadvantage in the games, alleging racsim, Critical Race Theory, and Intersectionality.

This article demonstrates why the current CRT-based discussions are stupid. Because most of the "disadvantage" is inherent in all majority-minority social mechanics. If there is a clearly identifiable minority sub-group, then the majority will behave in a certain way, and the minority group will counter with certain behaviors. This always happens when the minority reaches 10% population-wise in small groups.

CRT and Intersectionality, and most American liberal racism discourse, fails to separate put the effects of the majority-minority mechanics from race-specific discrimination. (Because then there is nothing left for them to talk about. And because they're emotionally-invested in their victim identities.)

This is why the American Diversity Experiment is doomed to fail, and fail catastrophically. Because they cannot think any other way. This includes both African-Americans and women. Ethnic Cleansing and Handmaid's Tale are coming to America, because people are stupid. Cities will be the first to burn. Get out of cities.

Police militarization not problem in Uvalde

police militarization is why Uvalde happened, because tactical training makes officers more cowardly, and reduces community trust.

No, this guy is wrong. He sees a lot of the symptoms, but he connected the wrong dots. Uvalde's (and Parkland et al) police cowardice and the excessive milirarization everywhere are both symptoms of underlying problems. But militarization did not cause Uvalde.

Uvalde, Parkland, et al, where police failed to act, reveal an underlying corruption among leadership. Corruption does not just show up as money changing hands. The legitimate political process can directly lead to a corrupt leadership, and that's something Americans fail to understand. The political process can only reflect the attitude of the people. If the people are corrupt, no system can safeguard the people from themselves. And Parkland and Uvalde are both corrupt, with the police leadership more interested in protecting their "friends" in the town elite, than actually doing their jobs for the rest of the city.

People like to blame "militarization" for alienating the community. It is the other way around. The community gets alienated first, and then police gets militarized. If community supports the police, then police would not stay militarized. They will grab all of the free shit from DoD they can, tanks, vests, guns, etc, because why not. But they won't use them (most of the time), because they don't need to. Vests are too hot. rifles are heavier than pistols. Tanks waste gas and don't drive well.

The problem in much of America, is that the community does not support the police. Part of that, is because the moneyed class have captured the political leadership, so police work for the elites against the poor. Another part is because Diversity has failed. Different cultures support different things. So they're OK with much of the supposed illegality. So of course they don't support the police.

So it is very interesting that this supposed police-military veteran does not discuss any of the real root causes. That tells you he is evil or stupud (probably both).

Racial Disparities in Traffic Fatalities

Black drivers and passengers are 1.8 times more likely to die, per mile driven, than white people. Black pedestrians are 2.2 times more likely than white pedestrians, and black bicyclists 4.5 times more. Hispanic people similar pattern. Asian people much less likely than white people. Night time fatality is worse for black and hispanic people.

Article does not say who are the killers. Given the inherent racial segregation at neighborhood level, the killers are likely the same race as the victims.

Wealth likely factors into some of the disparities. However, the research fails to account for victims' wealth. They do say that more deaths are occurring in poorer neighborhoods, accounting for some of the disparity.

Given that wealth correlates with IQ, and so does race, and that low IQ correlates with reckless behavior of all sorts, we have to conclude that IQ is likely a major driver in the observed disparities, both for the victims and the killers.

Covid News

If you have food allergies, you're 50% less likely to get Covid, but no protection from having Asthma. Children were 75% asymptomatic from Covid. BMI directly correlates to infection risk. Only time the peanut-allergic people are happy.

In a study during #DeltaVariant times. Vaccines only prevents Long Covid 15% of the time. Moreover, breakthrough Covid infection is still more lethal than regular seasonal Influenza. So the so-called vaccines still don't work. You will still get Long Covid.

Russia, Ukraine, and national socialists

Daily Beast explores the convoluted history of #skinhead, #neonazis, and Euromaidan in Russia and Ukraine. Headline and thesis claims Russia created the Ukrainian neoNazi problem, but actual description reads more like Ukrainians sheltered the Russian political dissidents of all stripes, including Russian skinheads. Ukrainian affinity for all Russian dissidents led to the problem today.

More screw up stories at the International Legion. This is a stark reminder that governments always take forever to do things. Most of the described training are unnecessary. These men should have just made their way to the front as soon as possible, picked up weapons, and start shooting. If they wanted to kill Russians. They are stereotypical Europeans, waiting on the government to tell them what to do. In a crisis, you don't have time to wait on governments.

Ukraine is hunting down collaborators, spies, and sympathizers. This is one more step toward ethnic cleansing in Ukraine. The war is accelerating the continuing and inevitable ethnic cleansing trends since Ukrainian nationalism post Soviet collapse. Some people believe that the Gallician Ukrainians will embrace the Rus Ukrainians because of the war's crucible. Some of that is happening, but not fast enough. Russia killed too many Gallicians. And too many Rus are collaborating with the invaders. This spy hunt is the precursor to pogroms.

Stupid statistics.

"when a black school closes, the black neighborhood gentrifies, white people move in." Stupid statistics. school closure is a symptom preceding gentrification, not a cause.

China "Complicates" Western "Responses" to Ukraine

China, being an economic juggernaut friendly to Russia, and holding UNSC permanent membership, means Western sanctions against Russia are far less effective. It also means that the "West" have many fewer options against Russia.

Ha Ha Ha. Another funny article for you today. No shit, Sherlock.

Smarter People would not have picked this fight with Russia. Everything discussed in the article, was true before the invasion, during, and will be after. The larger strategic situation has not changed. The smaller strategic situation in Ukraine, perhaps. The Ukrainian call for tanks, indicate that Russia may have succeeded in the demilitarization goal, partially. Part of "demilitarization" means to destroy Ukraine 's offensive capability, meaning its tank fleet. The other part being its regular forces engaged in East Ukraine. If Russia succeed in annihilating the Ukraine regulars, Russia has achieved its near-term strategic goal.

Unless, of course, America fully rebuilds the Ukrainian Army post-war. Will Congress appropriate the money necessary to replace all Ukrainian hardware. Especially if they are not buying Abrams tanks. American foreign aid policy argues against this. I don't see an American T-72 factory anywhere.

White Patriarchy In Action

A woman notes that white men (at 30%) are more interested in going back to in-person work than women and black men. More evidence of White Patriarchy.

Ha ha ha. So very funny article, unintentionally. Here is your joke of the day.

Articles like this one, amply demonstrates that Integration is a failure, and will always be.

Russia Sanction Endgame: Famine Edition

The Ukrainian War and the American sanctions are blocking much of the world from Ukrainian and Russian wheat, corn, and sunflower seed oils, and from Belarus potash and other Russian fertilizers. Many countries are dependent on Russian and Ukrainian wheat, and now facing rising prices. Others, such as Brazil, depend on Russian fertilizers and will have to cut production. This is especially serious because planting season, and fertilizer season, is now. The Ukrainians took fuel away from all the farmers for the war, so Ukrainians can't harvest the current crops nor sown the next.

Now we see the endgame for Russian sanction, assuming that America does not end them as part of peace negotiations. Brazil, at this point, will definitely join the Chinese currency settlement system. If only to buy Russian and Belarus fertilizers. Unless America gives Armenia emergency wheat aid, the current West-friendly government will also have to join the Chinese system and break the American sanctions, just to buy wheat. Same with all the other 3rd world governments.

Turkey is definitely the key state to watch. Erdogan is already shaky politically. If food prices keep rising, he will get voted out. America cannot pay for Erdogan's wheat, even if they want to. So Erdogan is very likely to break sanctions.

More basically, the last food inflation brought the Color Revolutions, and ushered in that wave of West-friendly regimes around the world. It is beyond ironic that the current food inflation, boosted by the American sanctions, will sweep in an era of anti-West regimes.

Case in point, Tunisia is having riots. Again. As Nightwatch said, governments don't usually know how to deal with food riots.

Glimpse of Congress and Washington Elite Ruminations

Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-FL, is retiring from House after 3 terms. She alleges that the Democrat Party leadership does not support the moderates at all. Nor are they concerned about helping the moderates hold on to purple districts. Murphy further alleges that all of the blue lobbying interest groups (environmental, labor, immigration, anti-gin, etc) no longer are interest specific; instead, they only do what the Democratic Party leadership wants. Murphy alleges that Republicans are just as bad, and Democrats will lose to Republicans.

This is a further indicator of the domestic politics becoming intractable, losing degrees of freedom. If you assume that Congress representatives are not corrupt, are there to do what they're supposed to do, and that they love America, (which is what Murphy portrays of herself and the others), then this is straightforward depiction of a political system that's getting rid of moderates.

If you assume that the banks were bankrolled the moderates, the Washington Borgian uniparty, then this article indicates that the liberal and conservative groups they had nurtured, have grown into uncontrollable monsters, that they are crying for their lost influence. That the populist gestalt is finally winning over Washington from the uniparty.

There's No Place Like Home; Or, You Can't Run Away

Russians running away from Putin find that other people think all Russians are evil.

More Russians running away.

This is a reminder that, trying to separate yourself from your ethnicity's evils is stupid. You cannot disown your own blood relatives. Other people will never make fine distinctions. People are always stupid. Running away is not a solution.

Now, if they are not ethnic Rus, the refugees, then they need to emphasize their ethnicities. Be out and be proud.

The Foreign Legion of Ukraine: Truth and Fiction

Foreign mercenaries report significant supply, training, and organization problems in Ukraine. They confirmed that the Yavoriv cruise missile strike directly targeted the foreign fighters and foreign weapon shipments going through Yavoriv. They also confirm that some of them have left Ukraine or are leaving, following the strike.

A Reddit poster purports to be a veteran former-volunteer of the Ukraine foreign legion, and reports significant mismanagement from the Ukrainian officers, little leadership and training, and lack of supplies. He reports that the mercenaries are being used in Trench warfare fodder and not for raiding, which was what the veterans expected. He has left following the Yavoriv missile strike.

Given the Associated Press report, the Redditor is credible. The management problem is likely as significant as the Redditor alleges, given the inferences in the AP report. The significant supply problem in the AP report is quite alarming, too. This demonstrates that the Ukrainian War is going significantly worse than social media is portraying. The Ukrainian videos likely represent the upper bound of any day's Russian losses. Meaning that Russians are doing better than what Ukraine is saying.

An American volunteer and Boogaloo boy confirms key details of the Lavoriv strike, and the leadership and logistic problems of the volunteers. He further alleges that the Ukrainian border gyards are confiscating personal equipment, cutting up foreign passports, and returning caught volunteers back to forced conscription service. Further details and problems.

Myanmar Insurrections, Taiwan, and Chinese Nationism

Myanmar is trying to suppress its many insurrections, again.

If the Republic of China wants to fight China's center of gravity, then it has to change its current strategy. The current ROC strategy is defensive secession: Taiwan wants to be Taiwan. However, that strategy is only effective with Americans (and maybe Japanese). It is completely ineffective against China. ROC has completely ceded the moral domain with China.

Instead, ROC must appeal as the legitimate champion of all Chinese People, as the legitimate heir of Sun Yatsen. The CCP claims legitimacy because of Chinese nationalism. ROC must fight back on that moral plane.

For example, ROC must support all of the Chinese Diaspora in the Myanmar insurrection. KMT used to, which was how most of those tribes got their weapons in the first place. Time to fight again.

The DPP and the Pan-Green coalition, perhaps due to their hatred of the KMT, appears genetically incapable of contesting Chinese nationalism. This is one of the many reasons, but perhaps the most fundamental one, why Taiwan is doomed.

Wartime Male and GTQ Refugees Are Traitors

A Ukrainian Transgender Man has safely escaped to Germany, away from the war. He ran away because "he had to leave to care for his mother". He joins all the other transgender people in running away from Ukraine. Note here that Ukraine has an exit ban and mandatory conscription of all men 16-60, to fight the Ukrainian War.

First off, the very fact that Ukraine has an exit ban and mandatory conscription, tells you all you need to know, that the war is going badly for Ukraine, and that many, perhaps most, men do not want to fight for Ukraine, against Russia. All you need to know.

Secondly, ALL MEN leaving the country during a defensive war, are traitors. ALL MEN. Perhaps treason is moral in such a particular instance. But the act of leaving is treasonous. It is irrelevant if they need to protect their refugee families and whatever. Their very act of leaving, deprives the national army of his fighting strength, thus makes the army more likely to lose the war. If universal suffrage matters, then wartime refugees are treasonous.

This logic applies to all of the Syrian and Afghan refugees, too. If their side has already lost, the treason logic still applies. Surrender to the enemy, following loss, is not treason. Running away is.

There is all this drama about Ukrainian Transgender Men and Women trying to evade the exit ban. If America, Europe, and NATO really stands with Ukraine and supports Zelensky, they should be flying all of these Transgender people back into Ukraine so they can pick up a rifle. By taking in Transgender people, America and NATO are supporting treason against Ukraine. The logic is clear and simple. Transgender men, suck up and take responsibility for being a man. Transgender women, hey, the war needs you, too. Trans women are better at ground combat than cis women. That is a fact.

Now, are women refugees traitors, too? Perhaps, somewhat. But since their combat ability is about 72% of men’s (Ukraine 2016 Olympic weightlifting), so they are 72% treasonous, as well. Children and old people. Children have no agency, so if their parents dragged them away into refugee, then no responsibility. Old people, their traitor status is based on their combat ability.

This leads into a question of Just War versus Total Mobilization and Democracy. Christian Just War Theory assumes that there is a difference between combatants and civilians. That soldiers can maim and kill each other all they want (basically), but civilians are off-limits. However, ever since the French Revolution, Levee en Masse is a thing now. Mobilization of the People and mass conscription means that everyone is a combatant, and the soldier-civilian distinction is meaningless. For a country to fight any war, even defensive ones, requires some popular support, unless they are depending on a mercenary army. Even an All-Volunteer Force requires taxes to pay for them. Mass conscription raises the population support to a more intimate level, of course. And any refugee, in such a case, is a traitor to the war.

This also gets into the idea of universal resistance, as Zelensky has called for, and NATO cheered for. That all Ukrainian civilians continue to resist their Russian invaders, even after the Ukrainian Armed Forces has retreated from that particular area. Armed resistance, of course, turns all involved civilians into combatants. Which, in Just War Theory, means killing is fair game, and not a war crime. Anyone, who want the Ukrainian People and culture to continue existing, would not support any popular resistance to the Russian Army. Anyone calling for civilians and militias to keep resisting Russians, know that you have signed their death warrants, and that you are not supporting the Ukrainian People’s survival. [For the State and the People are not the same thing, stupid.]

That idea of universal resistance is another proof of what I have been saying all along, that Protests are simply a less lethal form of conflict. That protests and demonstrations are undemocratic coercions of the Body Politic. Note that I am not saying whether protesting is moral, but that it is simply one point on the Use Of Force spectrum.

Edited to add: Polish people are also getting passports following the Yavoriv cruise missile attack. These Poles are also betraying the Polish government. They are not confident in NATO's guarantees.

Edited to add: Russians are running away, too. They are traitors, too. If there's an ethnic component to the exodus, meaning one ethnicity is more likely to leave than another, then the defecting traitors are de facto helping an ethnic cleansing. The only way to "fight" an ethnic cleansing, is to stay and fight.

NATO "Unity" During the Ukraine War

Turkey and Greece, long-time enemies, NATO partners, and recent opponents in the Syrian/Afghan migrant fight, now seek to reset relationship due to Ukraine War.
England wants the EU (and Ireland) to be more accommodating i. the Northern Ireland trade dispute, due to Ukraine War.
The Tu-141 drone that crashed in Croatia appeared to carry an explosive payload, residue and debris analysis say. The drone is in service wirh both Russia and Ukraine, and debris analysis shows indicators of both. Waiting on blackbox navigation data. Croatia is upset that NATO, Romania, and Hungary did not provide any warning, even though NATO said it had tracked the drone. In other news, when referencing Ukraine, Pentagon spoxmn said that "An attack against one is an attack against all", seeking to bolster the alliance. However, he didn't discuss the drone bomb in Croatia, if it meets an "attack" standard.
European politics continue amid the Ukraine War "unity". And we don't know yet if Ceoatia counts as a "real" NATO member yet.

Nationalism and Xenophobia Rising Due to Migrations

In South Africa, local groups in Alexandra are chasing away and attacking foreign African migrants.
British companies are pushing to hire Ukrainian refugees.
Intellectuals and "liberal" people are leaving Russia, together with Western residents, due to Ukraine War. Many Jews are leaving Ukraine due to the Ukraine War. In America, Black people are leaving cities (primarily northern cities like NYC, Chicago, Detroit, and LA), and moving to suburbs. The article does not specify, but the Chicago suburb cited has become 50% Black, indicating that some suburbs are more popular with Black people than others.
AAPI teachers are "combatting" anti-Asian violence with talking. They are useless.
Migrations in the news. Nationalism is rising, as evidenced by people moving to congregate with kin. Migration is ethnic cleansing. People who leave a country are giving up on that country's future. (And yes, I include war refugees among the Brain Drain.)

BJP winning reelection in Uttar Pradesh against predictions

BJP, Modi's party, won a closely contested province election in Uttar Pradesh. This breaks a historical trend of no re-elections in UP. Observers attribute the victory to Muslims uniting against BJP. BJP received significant Hindu support across all castes, despite the province chief being perceived as casteist, thus supporting the Muslim opposition thesis.

Thus India continues its march toward being the first Communist Fascist Country in the world.

Yes, Azov Battalion is Neo-Nazi, Salon Says

Yes, the State Department and the US government have been lying when they said they were not supporting neo-Nazi in Ukraine. Azov Battalion is a neo-Nazi, and there are more anti-Semitic nationalists in Ukraine than pre-2014, even though Right Sector has fewer votes. And IMF and America have led a Yeltsin-style looting of Ukrainian assets through forced privatization. Azov Battalion's promotion of foreign nationalists has already improved the military capabilities of far-right militias around the world. The current Ukrainian war will make it worse.

So they lied. And they will suffer the consequences, soon. Cannot happen to a nicer bunch of idiots.

Crime Statistics: City Crimes Indeed Rose 2021

Researchers used crime location data and people mobility data in 3 cities, to clarify the urban crime picture during the Covid pandemic. It turns out that there were overall fewer crimes, but also many fewer people out and about. So, on a per-outdoor-hour and per-outdoor-person basis, all crimes rose significantly during the pandemic, just like traffic fatality per mile driven did as well.

And of course, under that new metric, urban murder rates skyrocketed, much more seriously than we all originally thought. People are getting slaughtered in the cities. The leftist author tried to reassure the urban readers that the cities are still quite safe. Only the stupid ones will buy that story. American cities are not safe. The post-Covid back-to-the-office will not bring back the workers. The Covid urban flight is here to stay.

And faced with both the traffic fatality spike and now the clear urban crime spike, we can conclude that Covid and vaccines have indeed made people more violent and less patient, and more accident-prone. Stay safe, my readers.

Climate Change Is Racist

The California drought is destroying #Latino wealth, because Latinos had made great progress in California farming, but the drought means they'relosing money now, cannot raise crops.
#ClimateChange is reinforcing the #WhitePatriarchy by destroying Latino wealth. #Gaia is racist!

Red Meat Medical News

A multi-variate study showed that eating vegetables has no effect on cardiac health, after controlling other lifestyle (and fruit consumption(!)) variables. A study of recovered colon-cancer patients showed that red meat consumption slightly decreased colon cancer recurrence risk, while eating processed meats slightly increased recurrence risk. Therefore, you should eat lots of red meat and no vegetables, (and work out), if you want to prevent heart disease and colon cancer.

Ethnic Sanctuaries Prove Diversity Fails

Seattle City opens an apartment building reserved for low-income indigenous people, complete with native American artists' creations throughout the building.
The fact that the political process led to this ethnic-specific low-income reservation, proves that existing low-income housing are failing some ethnic groups. That these ethnic groups are being out-competed in the low-income welfare system by other ethnic groups. Ethnic Sanctuaries prove that Ethnic Cleansing is taking place.
It also proves that ethnic groups prefer to self-segregate. The history of the Native Americans / First Nations prove that Cultural Imperialism is real. That, in the modern media market, an ethnic group has to actively nurture its own culture and identity, if it wants to survive. Many indigenous tribes have already lost their culture and peoples to the White Man dominant culture, simply because they did not protect their own heritage, culture, and DNA.

US, Europe, NATO, EU: Why Moderates Are Stupid

America remains the "Indispensable Nation" in European affairs. For all of the desires of Europeans to chart a Third Way, they remain painfully dependent on American power for everything. On the other side, America continues its 50-year course of complaining of European #FreeRider problem, yet refusing to leave Europe be. Biden denounces Trump's anti-NATO bluster, yet do not dispute the substance of Trump's complaints, yet unwilling to push Europeans to actually do more.
This is a perfect case study of why Moderates, Status-Quo supporters, are stupid. Reform is always more expensive than starting fresh, because if the system was capable of fixing the new problem, then it would be fixing it already, without any need to talk about "Reform". The very fact that people are talking about "Reform" demonstrates that the system cannot respond to the problem, reformed or not. This is, incidentally, why successful "Revolutions in Military Affairs" almost always take the form of new organizations.
In this case of European irrelevance, there are 3 paths forward. The #Thesis is, America runs everything and Europe takes it. The #Antithesis is, Europe Goes Their Own Way (#EGTOW). The stupid moderate #Synthesis is, America runs everything and both Europe and America complains everything. In Geopolitics, as in Life, do not complain if you won't fix the problem. It makes you (America and Europe) look both weak and stupid, like certain animals wanting to do a certain function.

Covid Vaccine Stupidity, Surgeon General Edition

The Surgeon General, his wife, and his unvaccinated 4 year old daughter, are all positive for Covid-19 infection.
Clearly Vice Admiral Murthy was not following his own rules for Covid protection: Masking at all times because of Omicron. Or that his own rules are useless against Omicron. Here are only two possibilities.
Clearly vaccines are ineffective against the new variants. And it is taking forever to deploy the variant-specific vaccine/boosters. Unless you are 55 years old or older, there is no point in taking a booster, assuming you had the vaccines in the first place. If you are older, maybe you should take the booster, if you accept the long-term effect trade-offs.
Get a good silicone sealing reusable mask, like this one here. An Amazon search for "Silicone Mask" or other search engines will give you good results. N-95 and other similar disposable masks are available these days, but they do not seal as well as the silicone masks do. And you can cut up an N-95 disposable into several filters for a silicone mask. Do it. Do not accept useless paper or cloth masks. They work as well as vaccines against Omicron, which is not at all.

Housing Gap Illustrates Urban Alienation, and Academic Stupidity.

A racial homeownership gap exacerbated by New York City condo associations not getting FHA qualified so that the buyers cannot use FHA-subsidized loans.
The key here is, 1, that the minority homebuyers are urban: New York City and Richmond. Being urban limits options, with higher housing costs and higher crime rates, which form a vicious cycle. 2. The homebuyers are stuck in broken families. Household income is important for affordability.
More fundamentally, this story illustrates the hellish #ratRace that urban living fundamentally is. There is plenty of land available elsewhere. Note also that the story did not talk about the kinship networks, the tribes that these homebuyers are part (or not). The Tribe / Clan can help provide housing, and of course the Tribe/Clan provide childcare, too. Yet the tribes are notably absent from the discussion here. That further emphasizes the hellish alienating nature of American urban living, that we are torn away from our families.

Article warns that remote learning students are getting caught when they try to cheat on their tests and homeworks.
This is why American schools are bad. Because of stupid people thinking this stupid way.

Civil Wars On the Way 2

#AOC says "Democracy" in the US will end in 10 years.
AOC is not predicting the situation correctly. After all, if Jim Crow 2 comes to pass, the ones who do not fight back with force of arms, deserve what they get. If people do not go quietly into the night, consenting to their own enslavement, assuming Jim Crow 2 is coming, then Civil War 2 will happen.
So, if AOC is right, "Democracy" will end, AND Civil War 2 will happen right away. AOC is reading the emotional gestalt correctly, even if her logic and data are faulty. She is correct that people feel the racial conflicts are escalating.

Civil Wars on the Way

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/when-the-rage-came-for-me/ar-AATLqUn

Canadian novelist experience low-intensity nonviolent conflict face to face. And feels emotion for realz.

Analysis: There Will Be War, indeed. War is the Human Condition. Peace but a respite for War. Wishing wars away is naive. 

In other news, this is an indicator of #inflation-driven civil strife. Get ready for more. #ColorRevolution's are coming. 

In other news...

Following the previous post, here is a hilarious video. Haha. Asuka on Joe Rogan Experience.

Scientists (and "People") do not understand how love happens

What Science Still Can't Explain About Love

Scientists, matchmakers, and "people" (the people seeking "love") do not understand how Love happens. They build a list of objective criteria, but real world results (such as #speedDating) proves otherwise. 

Analysis: I suspect that most of those "people" are women. After all, men are fairly uniform in what they want. Looks are everything, almost. Relationship initiation depends mostly on women: will they pick up the phone when the men call.

In that light, this article is very obvious. Women do not know what they want. And Psychologists failed the moment they believed what women say.

Which is also obvious to any man who have dated women AND at least some familiarity with romantic comedies.

If they stop asking women, and instead observe women's reactions to men's actions, like Pick-Up Artists have done, they would have saved themselves tons of heartache. But then, most psychologists are women. So that's not gonna happen. 

Racial Politics In The Democrat Party

Left Split Over Supreme Court Pick

Congressional Black Caucus leader, Rep Clyburn, is lobbying for a Black female judge. Several #Progressive Democrat Senators, oppose this judge because of her anti-union associations.

How Jews Became White, a 1998 book

Whoopi Goldberg, a Black Democrat, getting cancelled by other Democrats.

I sense a pattern here.

POC nurses report more discrimination

How Nurses of Color Fight the Rampant Racism Plaguing Their Field

Minority nurses report significantly more racism than white nurses. However, it appears that they're racism'ed against nearly equally by their patients as by their fellow nurses and "leadership" (unknown if nurse manager or doctors). More significantly, article does not compare number against society-wide Racism self-report rate, which is a glaring omission.

Also notably, article does not mention any pay discrimination as a problem. Which leads us to suspect that pay discrimination, in fact, probably is not a problem. 

At this time, before reading the linked research paper, nursing racism does not appear to be a problem.
