Data conclusively shows that the "incel" view of sex is wrong: Few American men are celibate, and most are monogamous within a given year.

This thread has yet more data showing the same thing, and broken down by age group:

Note that this is in response to a Quillette article that claimed the "incel" worldview (a few men getting all the women) is correct, based on data that don't actually show that:

These paragraphs by @AdamSerwer perfectly match my own conception of American nationalism, history, and the present political moment.

I spent my childhood reading fantasy novels and playing video games where the Great Evil was defeated and sealed away, but inevitably the seals weaken and the Evil returns.

It was a fun fantasy conceit, but I guess there was some deep truth in it as well.
The impulse to create a nightmare society that subjugates and brutalizes whole classes of people did not begin with Madison Grant or Adolf Hitler. It didn't begin with Columbus or Pizarro either. It's a natural tendency that crops up again and again, everywhere on Earth...

Well that escalated quickly.
Anyone know if this is photoshopped?
Welp.

1/I'm so exasperated by the idea that low immigration produces social and cultural cohesion that I'm going to write a thread about how nuts this idea is.

When was the foreign-born population at an all-time low?

The 1960s and 1970s.

How cohesive were they?
2/In a single 18-month period between 1971 and 1972, there were about FIVE terrorist bombings in America EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN DAY.

3/In the summer of 1967 there were race riots in 159 AMERICAN CITIES.

A Saturday afternoon #thread on different historical photographic processes using, in honour of #BlackHistoryMonth, representations of African Americans. Saddle up kids! 👇🏿👇🏿
Daguerreotype is: [African American woman], ca. 1850, unattributed Daguerreotype with applied color, George Eastman Museum, 1969.0201.0020.
In 1839, two practical photographic processes were unveiled to the world: the Daguerreotype, developed by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (et al), and the Calotype, developed by Henry Fox Talbot.

This is an interesting article about Jewish-American "political consultants" who are allegedly behind Orbán's anti-Soros campaign. But it totally oversells their importance, similarly to media coverage of Bannon. Some quick thoughts #thread buzzfeednews.com/article/hnsgra…
1. I lived in Hungary in 1998-9, during first Orbán government, and (antisemitic) opposition to Soros was already widespread within Hungarian far right (including MIÉP).
2. While Fidesz was not radical right yet, it had a major problem with antisemitism within its party as well as an (enduring) problem with historical revisionism. Moreover, antisemitism is widespread within Hungary, including among better educated.

1)
 Let’s take a look at how @euronews becomes the mouthpiece of #Iran’s regime, providing a platform for the mullahs to voice their threats against the international community (and once again show their true terrorist nature).
euronews.com/2019/01/01/the…
2)
 “Following President Trump's unlawful withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)…”

The word “unlawful” is a lie.

Even the Obama/Kerry team said the JCPOA was never a “signed document.”
nationalreview.com/corner/iran-nu…
3)
 #Iran’s regime saving face:

“Iran was urged bilaterally by the European leaders to stay with the deal in return for compensation…”

The truth is Tehran desperately needs the JCPOA.

That’s why they haven’t exited the deal to this day.

Ross Dothan's NYTimes column about "The Redistribution of Sex" is a great example of why people who are not well-versed in sexuality as a field should not be writing about topics as fraught as incels and their violent demands of more sexual gratification from women.
Our response to incels should NOT be a thought experiment about sex robots + government sex redistribution programs. It should be a blistering disavowal of their violent, misogynist worldview, and a conversation about creating a healthier, more respectful sexual culture for all.
Ross Douthat makes a grave mistake taking incels at their word that they can't get laid and conflating them with marginalized groups considered unattractive for bigoted reasons. Incels could get laid if they didn't hate women and feel entitled to *hot* women.
