Donald Trump has problems with the Roe v. Wade vs. SCOTUS situation. He´s right, of course. While it´s true that the GOP won the midterms House elections, they probably underperformed due to the abortion issue. Note the irony that when Pence recently refused to endorse Trump, the former VP tried to sound more *conservative* than the Donald, attacking him for being soft on the abortion issue!
Trump: GOP must endorse three exceptions for abortion to get elected
Some cultural commentary on Taylor Swift. Yes, that girl again! The linked articles actually make some interesting points, all things considered...
Right-wing gadfly Richard Hanania believes that the Republicans come across as bigger freaks than the Democrats, since ordinary voters aren´t likely to notice most of the "Woke" stuff, while they *are* likely to react strongly against the anti-abortion measures imposed by the GOP. Various conspiracy theories surrounding the pop star Taylor Swift are just another example of this freakishness.
Not sure who Scott Greer is, but he is more critical of Swift and the "Swifties", seeing them as naïve Whites who just want to be left alone, while society around them is rapidly changing, presumably in a non-White direction. Swift´s image may be implicitly White and even "conservative" (as in normal or mainstream), but it´s all just a mirage of an Amerika long gone...
A talkative but interesting analysis of the upcoming midterm elections in the United States.
The Republicans have problems due to the evangelicals and their opposition to abortion and secular education. Styx is worried that the GOP might either lose the midterms or at most stalemate the Dems.
Since all opinion polls in the US are uncertain or even manipulated, it´s really difficult to know, but I wouldn´t be too surprised if this was true...
From Twitter, where people for and against keeping abortion legal in the US are battling it out. I think both pics are from recent protests in Indiana.
The upper pic shows "pro-life" protesters, and was tweeted by a "pro-choice" account. The pic below shows a "pro-choice" activist and was tweeted by a "pro-life" account...
Since US protesters are generally a pretty bizarre bunch, this kind of agit-prop isn´t hard...
Conservatives in the United States are jubilant about the Supreme Court overturning "Roe v. Wade", thereby potentially banning abortion in at least half of all US states. The British excentric and gadfly Edward Dutton (alias the Jolly Heretic) has a somewhat different perspective on things, arguing in effect that an abortion ban is dysgenic.
The ban will decrease the general IQ level in the population. Also, more people will be born with psychopathic traits, such as low agreeableness and low conscientiousness. More stupid and unbalanced people means more crime, coupled with a gradual deterioration of health care, schools, and so on. While the higher fertility among conservatives as opposed to liberals will lead to right-wing dominance in the future, it will do so in a general context of lower IQ and general societal decline, eventually leading to the collapse of modern civilization itself.
Dutton doesn´t say anything about Black or immigrant IQ in the clip, but it´s a well known fact that "The Bell Curve", for instance, argued that Blacks have lower IQ than Whites. Perhaps he is afraid of being censored on YouTube, but another possibility is that he (a bit like Theodore Dalrymple) is "colorblind" on these issues. Of course, it would be a very bizarre form of irony if conservative states in the US would end up having more Black poverty and crime as a result of an abortion ban, but I suppose the White supremacists could use this as an "argument" for resuscitating the Ku Klux Klan!
As for Dutton, he comes across as a kind of "nutter" version of said Dalrymple or (the British) John Gray. I might follow this character more in the near future...
Irish chaos magician Thomas Sheridan has a *very* based take on Roe vs Wade and the entire abortion problematique. Sheridan supports abortion, but not for the reasons you might think...
Trigger warning the size of Olympus Mons!
