Whistles: The Protest Fault Line

Immigrant groups want the white protestors to use less whistles unnecessarily. White protestors upset because they want to be more visible and do something to visibly help.

White leftists love attention. That is in part why they protest, seeking attention. That is why they are easy to mobilize and love to protest in public. Here we come squarely upon racial power struggles. Brown people don't like the white protestors getting more attention. They also don't like the outsiders coming into their communities and taking over their power networks. That is the sad reality of cadre-based protest movements. It takes very good cadre to both mobilize the community while being diplomatic enough to not cause resentment. US Army Special Forces has to kick out a lot candidates to find the right ones who are good cadre material. US leftists do not have that luxury. They take who they can get. And the ones who like to protest and struggle, they are usually attention hogs and people with an axe to grind. They are not good at being diplomatic, as we see this time.

Confirmation of Genetic Influence On Progeny Gender

There are genetic factors predisposing families to boys or girls. So that some families tend to have more girls or boys. Unknown if mothers or fathers. Age can magnify the effect.

There was another study maybe last year that says the effect is cross-generational, that the father inherit from their own mothers the immune factors to select for specific sex sperms. But this study apparently did not reference that. Because it only looked at nurses, and hence mothers.

But the fact that they can observe this gender trend says something. Because that means most of the observed mothers stayed with a single sexual partner long enough to have more than one child. Thus they were faithful enough to their spouses or partners. Which is not the observed outcome of infidelity studies.

Research Universities in Political Trouble After Getting Into Politics, Ignoring Replication

Northwestern University research teams are facing great uncertainties because of the Federal funding pause. Federal government has not specified what Northwestern needs to do to restore grant funding. Most researchers are very upset at this. Because there is no communication from Federal government, they don't know if their anti-antisemitism measures are what Federal governmeny wants. Northwestern may soon be unable to cover the gap in funding.

No word at all about the replication crisis in science. Since less than 70% of scientific publications are replicable, scientists are much less credible than they think they are. And of course Northwestern University is more than just scientific research. Science's indulgence of non-scientific endeavors like politics and protests only make Big Science a more political target.

Chinese Population Control Backfires

China fertility issues linked to Hukou population registration system.

Interesting to note that the urbanizing migrant labors allowed Chinese manufacturing to last as long as it has. But at the same time, it prevented the Chinese interior from industrializing because their labor went to the coast. Then, the urban migrants got higher wages, thus preventing the interior from competing with Vietnam and now Cambodia. So the Hukou system theoretically could have allowed the interior to industrialize gradually from the coast. But the coastal elites prevented that from happening by allowing migrants unofficially. And now China also got a fertility problem from the social instability of urban migrants.

American Working Women More Sad

Working women are very dissatisfied and depressed.

Maybe because childcare is very bad for working parents.

Kenyans love Kung Fu

Kenyans are loving Chinese martial arts.

Swedish Women Quit Working.

Soft Girl and TradWife hits Sweden.

Biden and Antipersonnel Mines in Ukraine

Biden is shipping antipersonnel mines to Ukraine, pissing off Europeans who support the Mine Ban Treaty.

TradWives Scare Democrats

Democrats finally figured out how dangerous "TradWife" is to Feminism.

Housing, Election Edition

"What can be, unburdened by what has been."

Chinese Education Arbitrage

Chinese families are moving to Thailand, so that their children do not have to compete in the Gaokao system, among other reasons. The children are flourishing, despite some having ADHD etc, and have developed hobbies unthinkable in China.

It will be interesting to see if the new diaspora will draw the mainland Chinese culture away from the Rat Race. Chinese people just cannot resist the Rat Race.

Americans Rediscover Cheaper Rural Life

Boomers now discover they can afford to retire in rural America, whereas they can't in the cities. But rural medical care is a concern.

Took them long enough to figure this out. Classic arbitrage. City life is too expensive. But for some reason the Establishment Media and the Entertainment Industry does not want to talk about country living being fun.

Even Female Prisoners, Living Outside Male Gaze, Crave Makeup

Female prisoners invent all kinds of ways to homebrew makeup and beauty care accessories, in addition to buying and smuggling real makeup. They say that access to makeup was a requirement for them to access their own authentic selves.

This apply demonstrates that women invented fashion and makeup all on their own, with only minimal attention paid to male desires. Of course, the prominent gay men opinionmakers in the fashion industry means it was very likely gay men were responsible for female fashion in the antiquity as well. For, as we know, women are stupid and are not that creative as a collective. Chinese women during the Mao era demonstrated that women can maintain a local minima of no makeup, policed by their Karens.

So this raises the question: If women do not understand what men find sexually attractive, then how do women find their fashion sense? Indeed, women spend inordinate amount of time looking at the fashion magazines and videos, consuming massive amounts of imagery to calibrate their aesthetic sense with the existing female fashion gestalt. The dynamics of female fashion also indicates how women organize themselves into their wheel hubs and spokes.

Young Girls Hurting Themselves with Skincare Products

Girls are using adult skincare products to keep skin young, but the adult products are too harsh for young skin, scarring the girls. The girls are using the products because of social media influencers.

Girls are stupid, of all ages. And girls younger than 18 probably should not access social media. Or TV. Or magazines. Basically, no media at all. Girls probably should stay in a nunnery of some sort, for their own psychological wellbeing.

The funny thing is, girls instinctively start using makeup on their own. See tomorrow's post, for how they start competing on looks all on their own.

Hmongs and Armenians Upset at Census Bureau

Hmong, Armenians, Brazilians, Haitians, and other ethnicities are not satisfied with the newest racial ethnic classification system from the Census Bureau and the US government, because it is not detailed enough nor giving them enough representation.

It is turtles all the way down. There is never enough details in the classification systems. Especially not in an multiethnic empire like the USA.

"George Floyd Legacies"

After George Floyd death intensified the #BlackLivesMatter protests nationwide, people thought policing would improve. 4 years later, not much had changed.

Policing in America is built on the confluence of several systemic and bureaucratic forces. Reform is unlikely, since the forces remain unchanged. The "racism" complaints are mostly outside the control of the police itself. And the opposing forces on policing made police itself prone to corruption.

I have long made the observation that building new groups and bureaucracies is faster and more efficient than reforming old ones. The "George Floyd Legacies" history has again shone that observation to be historical truth in organizational innovation.

Another observation I made, is that urban policing in America, in many places, is an exercise in Counter-Insurgency, and we should act like it. Oil-Spot Strategy, co-option of local militia, etc. We have yet to take that seriously, and urban policing will continue to fail.

One more proposal I made, is that cities should break up into smaller independent entities, so that they are more accountable to the residents instead of the business interests, who drive much of urban policing. That this proposal remain unthinkable to much of the commentariat, just shows how unserious most urban residents and intelligentsia are about Policing.

How Stockholders Killed Red Lobster

Red Lobster made some bad business decisions as it was sold by a series of owners. Finally the Thai Union shrimp company, the latest owner, broke Red Lobster to benefit itself and Thai Union personnel.

Red Lobster is a case study of how #financialization killed a company. Globalization is evil.

Europeans Paying North Africa to Strand Southern Africans

European Union and members are paying Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania, and possibly other countries, to stop migrants from going to Europe. Therefore, these countries are rounding up sub-Saharan-looking people and dumping them in the Sahara deserts of Algeria, Libya, Mali, etc. Sometimes they also sell them into slavery.

To the liberals who want to maintain the ridiculous refugee policy while also stopping the resulting rise of the racist parties, this seems a reasonable tradeoff. The whole point is to stop them from leaving their home countries.

Unfortunately, the European liberals are too stupid. They will probably complain and stop the migrant harassment. And thus have more racist parties. Or the fascist parties will come to power anyway due to other problems, like the natural dying off of childless liberals, or Ukrainian refugees taking away European jobs.

And in the mean time, drive the Africans into the arms of the Chinese. Who might be planning a demographic replacement of their own.

Brits being stupid about knife attacks

Brits freaking out over knife attacks.

A hell of their own making.

Catholicism Counter-Reforms.

American Catholic churches are getting more conservative, because the liberal Catholics do not attend church nor recruit.

This is the paradox of reform. Reforms are more likely to kill an organization rather than actually changing its direction.
