There was a whole book in 2020, The WEIRDest People In The World, that argued the Catholic Church outlawing cousin marriages in the 4th century is the source of all Western prosperity.
Aside from the genetic benefits, simply being forced to venture out into the world to find a spouse has countless positive externalities.

I'm Doing The Work and reading Angela Davis's Are Prisons Obsolete. It starts with the gobsmacking claim that anti-slavery was a fringe position until the Civil War. This would be a surprise to Pennsylvania, which outlawed slavery in 1780.
She repeatedly claims that "no one could imagine a world without slavery." Not only were Northern states outlawing it mere years after the Revolution, it was being outlawed all over the world. We're not off to a great start here.
There's just an enormous amount of self-flattery here. Before any arguments are made we're told that by being a prison abolitionist you are John Brown's ideological heir, whom she refers to as an "activist." That's like calling Michelangelo an interior decorator.

It was silly and just raunchy enough to play in mixed company. It still sells well.
I can't keep up with what's cringe anymore. Apparently Ted Lasso is bad now? Just send me a monty list of the two or three things it's ok to enjoy.
I know you're always allowed to like The Simpsons and The Sopranos because they were very popular in the childhoods/adolescence of men born in the 80s and of a certain disposition.

You guys know you need a monopoly on violence to remain legitimate right.
Like if anyone can be a cop then cops aren't cops.
If police unions were like normal unions they wouldn't be encouraging scabs. Could you imagine if the WGA was like "fan fiction writers do great work, networks should give them a shot."

It is in facf a pretty wild story about DC's most unprofessional and incompetent staffer who came to work on mushrooms, answered constituent letters without approval, and was eventually fired for not showing up at all. Oh and he thinks Raytheon engineered the war in Ukraine.
They of course thinks this slaps because they're middle-aged teenagers.

If you know when people are going to die, you should probably share that with the world.
How could anyone possibly know this! It's making so many assumptions about things that are completely unknowable!
