the society ascribes certain protections and exemptions from manliness to the women.

to a large extent, they are untouchable to warfare, revenge & retribution, personal criminal responsibility is limited - viewed through lens of expected leniency.
2/
the advanced society also ascribes those protections and exemptions for men *in certain select roles* - emissaries, envoys, ambassadors, *representatives*, lawyers.

not so much for *the elders*, no.
3/
having major protections and exemptions for years on end does influence the development of moral character of people in those positions. think your elected representatives or lawyers.

they become insular, self-governing societies, where a lot of guarantees are a given.
4/
the peculiarity of representative democracy is that you are being *governed* by the people who experience those protections and exemptions for years and decades on end. by their insular societies.

a major flaw in representative democracy. #dmutc

the weirdest presupposition:
>our birth rates are low
>importing different people and melding them to our culture
>will increase *our* birthrate
>while maintaining theirs high birthrate
2/
the low birthrates in the west are culturally and socio-politically mediated

USA is also exporting the same population-limiting feminism elsewhere

lying while technically telling the truth: journalists use misleading framing.

let's talk the new stimulus.
2/
congress has approved a meager, measly $600/person stimulus.

$600 times 330MM (US population):

$200 B. remember the number for later on.

this new debt is what the journalists are telling you is "nothing", and they misleadingly compare it to tiny numbers.
3/
>$2 B for Air Force missile procurement and related expenses

that's 1% of the $600/person.
this goes to pay wages of american workers, and profits of american industrialists.

the objection is true from a "godlike" perspective

the is/ought distinction is still true from the *human* perspective

where there are two opposing men, there there is two opposing "oughts".

we can claim that one, outlasting another, effectively *is* an "is" --
3/
-- but as humans, we don't know a priori *which* one outlasts which.

our in-the-moment perception of the "is" amounts to two "oughts" - and only in the longer run it collapses back into a singular "is". #CopenhaganInterpretationOfIsOughtDistinction
