Some passages from "Easy Meat." Most of the most horrific stuff has circulated on X already, but I want to emphasize the complicity of UK institutions with the rape gangs. As early as 1988, the authorities knew about it. It sparked a Sikh race riot when the cops did nothing.
Childcare professionals were talking about rape gangs in Bradford in 1991, more than 20 years before the first prosecutions. Authorities did nothing this entire time.
The children's charity Barnardo's created a project to educate 5-13 year old girls (!) about the threat of groomers in Bradford in 1995, but never once mentioned ethnicity or religion, and didn't try to spark prosecutions.
Social services in Rotherham knew about the gangs in 1996, and Sikhs had their own institutions putting out warnings. Authorities did nothing for decades.
Channel 4 news mentioned that in 2003 more than 30 white girls, some as young as 11, were known to be raped and pimped in Keighley. No mention of "who" and no broader outcry.
A 2004 documentary about the gangs was censored at the request of the local police, who feared race riots. Let this be a lesson: if you want the British state to stop your girls from being raped and pimped, you have to credibly threaten to burn down cities.
West Yorkshire police had a unit to investigate the gangs, but shut it down over fear of racism, which is why there were no prosecutions until 2013 when the problem was known in 2003. Accusations of racism should be taken as mass rape apologia.
The Serious Organized Crime Agency made a documentary about the gangs in 2008 with reference to the term for their Dutch equivalents, Loverboys, but never actually showed it to its intended audience (school girls at risk).
Another 2008 BBC documentary (which never mentioned ethnicity or religion) about the gangs that made waves in Parliament, who therefore also knew by then.
It took until 2011 for the omerta around the gangs to really crack with Andrew Norfolk's article, possibly impelled by EDL protests.
Schools knew about "Asian" men loitering outside to pick up their victims, but did nothing to educate about the threat, possibly because the teacher's unions were in the pocket of an org called "Unite Against Fascism" (as you can guess from the name, a pro-child-rape org).
Local councils also knew, and actively covered things up, both to avoid criticism and out of concern for "racism."
Police knew and did nothing, even when parents did all the investigation for them, and even when the victims themselves called them for help. Again out of concern for racism. Anti-racism means covering up mass child rape.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) barely touched the gangs (by far the most horrific and large-scale child exploitation in Britain), instead focusing on online pedos and foreign trafficking, even when parents asked for help.
David Winnick, Labour MP for Walsall North tried (and failed) to insert a rider into the Home Affairs Select Committe report that “the perception, that grooming perpetrators are largely of Asian, British Asian or Muslim origin” was false, a flagrant and known lie.
Children's charity Barnado's which knew about the problem since 1996, never talked about the ethnicity of the perpetrators or victims.
Academics worked assiduously to... obfuscate the races of the victims and perpetrators.
This whole book is sickening. Big takeaway: almost every institution for children's welfare in Britain knew about the rape gangs decades before any prosecutions and worked hard to cover up the massive industrial scale child rape and prostitution of white girls by Pakistani men. The only group to really push back on this was the Sikhs by rioting themselves. Throughout all of this, the UK continued giving visas to Pakistani men and paying them large sums of money to live in England. UK delenda est.

Thread with excerpts from Richard Pipes' Property and Freedom (1999). Pipes is a historian of Russia, and the thesis of the book is that private property, as something distinct and protected from public power and sovereignty, is indispensable to human freedom.
One of the fundamental differences between Russia and the rest of Europe lay in the weak development of private property; one of the major themes of Western philosophical history is the benefits and drawbacks of private property; Russian philosophers unanimously condemn it.
Freedom, as used by Pipes, includes political freedom, legal freedom, economic freedom, and personal rights. It does not include the right to public support ("freedom from want"); such 'rights' are at best a moral claim and at worst an unearned privilege.
Red state pension funds tend to vote with management if management is providing good returns (ie, doing their job); blue state pension funds tend to vote with management if the company does leftist things (ie, ESG, or not paying CEOs very much).
This reflects a general difference in attitude towards institutions; rightists prefer institutions do what they were created for (eg police should fight crime, the military should fight wars, companies should make money doing their business, schools should teach)...
...while left-wingers want every institution to have pushing the Party Line as its #1 priority (extremely totalitarian in that regard). The formers produces a better society, the latter is more politically powerful but destroys everything in the long run.
Training an LLM to be more politically evenhanded (as opposed to left-wing, as almost all LLMs are - so more right-wing) makes it more egalitarian in how it values the lives of people of different races without training to do so. PCT = Political Consistency Training.
LLMs trained in this way also value members of different religions, political creeds, and public figures coded left vs right more equally.
Almost all notable LLMs except Grok are left-wing on the US political spectrum, but in a very particular way, sort of like a superhumanly-knowledgeable Redditor or Wikipedia editor from the year 2018.
Since 2009, medical schools have had to prove they sufficiently discriminate against white men ("achieve mission-appropriate diversity outcomes") to get accredited.
White men are now significantly underrepresented among med school students.
Fortunately, competence isn't that important in doctors, so purging white men in favor of "underrepresented minorities" (blacks, LatinX) who can't pass clinical exams shouldn't matter.
European IQ's rising due to natural selection (as measured by PGS) continuing into the modern era whereas it stalled in East Asia could have been predicted from Gregory Clark's genealogical studies in both regions.
Clark found that "survival of the richest" was the rule in England from 1300-1880 or so, with huge differences in surviving offspring by class and this was much weaker in Qing China because higher class women didn't have more kids due to elite polygamy.
(IQ is not the only trait that goes into income or wealth, of course, so selection for wealth is only indirectly selection for IQ and also selects for a package of other traits, some of which are collective goods like IQ and some of which are not.)
The Bancroft Prize (one of the most prestigious history awards, given by a panel of historians for works on diplomacy or the history of the Americas) was given in 2000 to someone claiming guns were really rare in colonial America (he committed fraud by changing quotes).
This should have been obvious nonsense to anyone who knows anything at all about colonial America, of course, and yet a panel of professional historians thought it was work at the pinnacle of the field until some random blogger pointed out all the fraud.
