Majority black communities tend to empty out over time: Detroit, Gary, East St. Louis, and, lately, Birmingham and Jackson. I graphed this recently [link]. Is The Economist aware of this basic fact about modern American life? @Steve_Sailer vdare.com/posts/the-econ…
@LokiJulianus The US Federal Government is currently in the process of conducting a wealth transfer from Whites and Asians to Blacks and Latinos every 5 years of ~2T dollars (and growing), roughly what the US spent on the whole Iraq War. x.com/GigaThaad/stat…

Washington DC has some of the largest cognitive inequality of any region. For academic achievement measured by Math and ELA scores, there is little overlap between groups.
From a NYT article entitled, "America’s Student Loans Were Never Going to be Repaid." "Male, white & Asian borrowers made progress on their loans between 2009 and 2022. Female, Black & Latino borrowers had increasing balances until the repayment pause came into effect."
A 2018 analysis of 15,244 organized criminals and extremists in Sweden finds the following national origins by organization type/group (my translations in red). For example, for street gangs, 85.3% were either foreign-born or had a foreign-born parent. h/t @ManneGerell

When science is replicable, it's engineering. You can't productize something unless it works 99%+ of the time. Even a 1% failure rate is far above acceptable. When science is not replicable, it's not science.

A 2012 study of 239 street gang members in Sweden found that 76% were first- or second-generation immigrants, and 24% were born in Sweden to Swedish parents. For context, in 2012, 27% of the Swedish population was either first- or second-generation immigrants.
Recent study, based on large UK Biobank samples, finds that sex can be predicted from brain morphology with close to perfect accuracy, 99.7%. This is much higher than previous studies I reviewed some time ago, see next.
Astounding fact: there were more miles of paved roads in Africa in 1965 than there are today.

1/3 of Sweden is immigrants or descendants now, & gangs now recruit under-15s to carry out bombings and murders, since the maximum penalty is 4 years in youth care. As in Germany, Swedish law is from another era and far too quaint for these challenges. spectator.co.uk/article/teenag…
@FraserNelson 90% of shootings in Sweden are carried out by people with a foreign background, so it’s hard to see how it isn’t a consequence of immigration google.com/amp/s/www.dail…
A 2005 meta-analysis of mock jury trials found that under controlled conditions, blacks exhibited ~15 times the ingroup bias of whites in deciding verdicts and ~7.6 times the bias in deciding sentences.

@AlexanderPayton They're the same people who use "whom" even when it's inappropriate. Here's a helpful note for everyone on "myself":
@devilskitchen Understanding core issues is cheap. Actually running a party, making it work, and keeping loonies and grifters from messing it all up is a completely different matter, as I'm sure you must recall.

Just to get out in front of this: nothing about that changes just because economists agree that it’s the most efficient tax. What economists think is efficient is one factor in deciding what to do in the world, but not the only or necessarily the most important one.
(I’m fine with property taxes. This is one of my favorite contrarian-for-the-sake-of-it arguments because “people don’t like it” is a fun case to make that’s harder to overcome than I think people give it credit for.)
Again: there is no word for this but “propaganda.” I don’t think this is an edgy thing to say, nor hyperbolic, or tendentious. This is just a plain statement of fact. You can only describe this as propaganda.
The funniest part about the media's attempts to turn Dexter Reed into the next George Floyd is that they're all using a picture of him graduating high school (the guy was 26) instead of his mugshot from 5 months ago.
You really need to understand that "the police didn't deescalate" is just a meaningless catch-all complaint and they'll say it even about an interaction where police interact with a suspect for nearly an hour and ask him over 50 times what he's holding.
The existence of street jokes is a deep mystery. Even Norm Macdonald, one of the smartest comics of all time, once said that if you sit down to try to write a street joke it's almost impossible. And yet they're out there, fully formed.
@powerfultakes Yet another liar, how surprising.
What happened next is that she tweeted endlessly about chemtrails, claimed that Covid vaccines were a “software platform that can receive uploads" and suggested that nanoparticles can make people travel back in time. Everyone realised that she was nuts.
Naomi Wolf was one of the most famous liberal intellectuals in America. Then she questioned lockdowns and the Covid vax. It’s pretty amazing what happened next.
