Back in Dallas-Fort Worth, a lovely example of conurbation.

I have a layover in DFW Airport, which is a good example of subaltern/private government:

indianbronson.substack.com/p/part1-decent…
indianbronson.substack.com/p/part1-decent…

A clarifying question about power to ask is "who shows up if I call 911?"

A better question to ask is "who shoots at me, if it comes to that?"

The distinguishing power of State is violence:

"Don't be fooled by the Auntie Anne’s Pretzels (in every terminal!) and many global languages you’ll hear, this is sovereign territory under the rule of a serious government."
Not pictured: the Dallas-Fort Worth Department of Public Safety officer who declined to be photographed

("We don't allow photographs", and "turn around and go to your gate, right now")

Some people get to own a car.

Some people get to own a home.

Some people get to own a semi-autonomous body charged with governing DFW International Airport.
Keep reading, and learn how faithful Mormons are like the Taliban in the ways that matter (for government:)

The civic identity is entirely based on the ethnic/racial identity, into which immigrants were assimilated, to *LOSE* their ethnic/racial identity.

Norman Podhoretz called it "the brutal bargain", where Italians, Poles, Jews, Irish, etc. became as like the Anglo-American WASP. ImageImageImageImage
To state otherwise is ignorance or dishonesty. I know @MazMHussain is neither dishonest, nor unintelligent, quite the contrary, so I must bully him with history—but I insist my own interlocutors are respectful.

Even in 1923;

SCOTUS which had in *1898* decided Ark Kim Wong having been born to lawfully present permanent residents who could not naturalize, was himself a citizen, clearly rejected ideas of racial inferiority or superiority, but emphatically noted America was a NATION, not a civic ideal.

Lol, divorced from reality

Men supporting motherhood isn't low status

Men noticing how modern women sabotage desirability as wives, or desiring women marry sooner—*these* are low status, inviting accusations of incel-dom + a sour grapes mindset wrt. one's sexual desirability
Completely delusional

Twitter did not cause this—women are not idiot children who abandoned motherhood in a spiteful huff bc of tweets over the last decade lol



*Womens'* own short-term preferences were simply empowered by shifts in technology & culture:
Lol

All changes in education/wealth/social status, etc. have only *intensified* female hypergamy on *exactly* the same sex-dimorphic traits which distinguish powerful men from one another and men from women:

This happens all over America, day in and day out. The FBI crime stats are what they are.

Again - the only way to get this under control is to TRIPLE the prison population; to incarcerate, and execute, *millions* more people than we currently do:
Watch the video if you have any dispute with what I say.

Do you think this is the first criminal act the murderer committed ever?

It would have been better for everyone if he were imprisoned, for life, far earlier in life for prior crimes and been made to do productive labor.
The killer is 26.

The State could execute him - but it should've done so years ago. Wouldn't it better now to make him work, with corporal punishments as needed?

Decades of work could be wrung out of him before his expiry:

The defining factor of Third World-esque corruption, is /things don't work/

Physics is still real but the human curation: making and maintaining of power lines, metering power, bill disputes handled justly, inspections and regulations done only for purpose; that all *goes away.*
Who inspects elevators in the First World? The elevator inspector - everyone from the elevator utility company to the Government checked he knows and does the job well, without monitoring. He's not just an important person's cousin who was owed a favor:

In the Third World - which btw is outdated terminology, Singapore is *WAY* nicer than SF - it really was often just someone's cousin. And maybe he wouldn't even pretend to inspect the elevator, he'd just shut it down if you didn't pay him, or ignored complaints about it breaking.

In the same way Indian support staff ask you to kindly revert changes or with the formality of long dead Victorians, let you know they are, with kindest regards, and, obediently yours, ending the email, future States will all borrow American norms.

Governance archetypy.
The lingua anglica is simply unrivaled.

It is and will continue to be the language of the network - a billion Indians and many more Chinese, Indonesians, Arabs, Russians, Africans and Latin Americans all become legible to the NATO/Five Eyes world (when they want) in English.
But in the same way that the English language was just riding alongside, within the populations who best colonized the New World and were most industrially dominant when global scale telephony and computing technologies were invented, in the same way that the USA is not the UK,

The whole article is just a nightmare in progress. Let's take a look, together. Image
Maybe a fancy job in NYC and a beach house in the...on the *Jersey Shore?*...(de gustibus non disputandum est, I guess) and frequent travel (as well as for work lol) IS what Ashley wants.

But lifetime intended fertility is remarkably stable across generations and rises with age. ImageImage
Froze eggs at 39. To keep her options open for when she's "READY"

Maybe in 5 years when she's 48? Perhaps at 50 her career will be in a good place.

You see, she loves kids and loves all her friends' kids but doesn't know if she would love HER life with kids.
