Everyone is focused on the spectators in this (and what a joke commies who brought starvation in the name of eliminating capitalist exploitation are) but the logical endpoint of this view is that no one is watching the game anyway because it elevates the athletically talented
Finding baseball talent and arranging games and leagues that people are intensely interested is just gibs from the gibs tree and will always be there.

In reality it's more and more of a taboo to even imagine finding talent ... if the means of finding it has ... Disparate Impact
The meme only exists in a (literal) boomer context that is long gone.

Stadiums used to be in cities where gangs of white kids would live who would all be interested in baseball as entertainment and try to catch a glimpse of the games.

Future paying customers.
Now?

The "kids" at the fence watching will take their whole families there and knock down the fence because they're not invested in the society because they didn't build it and their ancestors didn't build it.

Used to be healthy, now it's feasting on a corpse.

Nice summary by Roko - agree on all points except one.

They don't do GoF research for any rational reason.

They do it because it's a procedure that can be followed that produces results that can be published.
The other side of the "reason" for it are the bureaucrats who approve the funding / steer the grants - they have equally insane reasons. Those people do it because they want to control flows of funds and no one will question funding that goes towards "pandemic prevention".
It doesn't need to actually prevent pandemics, merely be plausibly connected to implant fear in anyone approving the funding - "what if I cut this off and there is a pandemic?"

One formula piece the press always produces is "budget cut causes disaster".

"Prison" as a punishment is a crime maximization tool.

Does *just* enough that people stop lynching criminals.
If it ever reduces crime below that point, can always turn it back up by just releasing criminals - that's always an option.
There was a silent replacement of the entire justice system - used to be that cops had an executive role - would hand out a beating.

That was part of the process.

Wh*re shocked that men treat her like a wh*re Image
The reality of course is that this tweet isn't sincere - it's one part bait for her idiot simps "oh, I would treate you with the respect you deserve m'lady" and one part woman bragging - "high powered, successful, together men lose it around my raw sexual power"
There's a third level to this tweet of hers.

Women *really* like werewolf men - tend to fall uncontrollably in love with them and no woman want to be abandoned over and over again by men she's fallen for.

That's got to leave a massive gaping wound on her soul.

Great thread by 17c.

Expanding a bit:

The system compulsively cultivates "expert opinion" in every area - co-opting the consensus to ensure that it is always pro-expansion of regime power in one way or another and the only valid opinion in an area.
See the recent N Wade piece about the lab leak hypothesis

What was the system doing? In one sense box ticking - the system needs to be thought of as serious so it funds some research that it can plausibly describe as being done to "prevent pandemics"

nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covi…
The output existed - papers that were shiny and *peer reviewed* so the reddit tier people can bark like seals about *peer review*.

At the same time, it created a stifling "consensus" in the field to *never question the logic of doing that research in the first place*.

We have a woke capital problem because limited government conservatives failed to curtail the infinite morass of regulations on corps because they were afraid to attack anti-discrimination regulation.

Now it's been used as a weapon to ensure that corps never displease the left.
Why doesn't a United competitor come out and say "fly with us, we won't hire quota diversity pilots"?

Because there would be a million lawsuits and investigations and the company would be bankrupt in a week and the executives in jail.
Is that "limited government conservatism"? Did those people ever fight it?

They ceded the entire battle because even LGCs believe that there should be unlimited government efforts ... to stop racism.

Simply false.

The dating market entirely reflects women's preference for a very simple reason - dating apps live and die by getting women to sign up for them; no women -> no men, no app so they cater to women and have to cater better to women than alternatives like free drinks.
Tinder reflects what women want - low ego-risk sex with high value men.

If women are offering pussy *some* man is going to take them up on it - period.

The only possible solution is to restrain women's ability to do this.
You're a dating app executive - what's your product? Pussy.

What's your competition? Anywhere women can meet men without you - bars, concerts, walks in the park, lines at the grocery story, etc.

How do you lure them away from those on to your app? Offer them what they want.
