Because they’re still majority white and white people in those states overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
Gerrymandering doesn’t really apply to presidential elections, at least not directly.
Is that really what’s being implied here? I feel like you’re unconsciously buying into this narrative that you have to support either Likud or Hamas when the morally correct position is neither.
Thanks. I agree this video was good, just not quite what I was looking for.
I think the issue is that while the wolf stuff is well debunked at this point, the myth has grown well beyond wolves at this point and is widely assumed to be part of human nature.
I haven’t seen a great debunking alpha social dynamics in specifically humans. If anyone has one, please share.
Well I guess if you have a long enough timeline everything possible becomes inevitable. But I don’t think that’s quite what the meme is saying.
I like how his defense is literally just “but it was my job to lie to your face so you can’t be mad!”
I was hoping he’d do more of a debunking on the scientific side of things but I guess he’s not an anthropologist.
Sure if you live in a society where corruption is legal and normal, as most of us do, then you might think so.
But I refuse to accept this kind of thing as normal.
To be clear, I’m trying to identify conservatism as a social and political current across history, not as it exists in our society today. But I largely agree that today’s so-called conservatives are nothing of the sort. True conservatives in our society would be moderate liberals.
I think this is an important thing to understand both because traditional conservatism is a recurring theme in many political contexts, but also because many people think of conservatism as a relatively moderate and common-sense position. People need to realize that the people today calling themselves conservatives do not have as their main goal a preservation of existing society. They are instead attempting a radical transformation to something that either never existed or at most existed in the distant past.
But it sounds like you are saying conservatism in the sense I mean has never existed and it’s always been merely a rhetorical shield for more revolutionary ends. I am not sure I see evidence to support this outside of modern times but perhaps I’m not fully informed on the topic.

Candy caps (Lactatius rubidus) are fruiting abundantly on the Northern California coast right now. My family and I picked about 2 pounds today. For those unfamiliar, these mushrooms develop a strong maple flavor and odor when dried.
I’ve never had so many before, so I’m interested if anyone has made anything interesting with these. I’ve made ice cream in the past which was excellent but it might be good to mix things up a bit.
I’m particularly interested to see how they would work in more savory dishes and if anyone has eaten them fresh. Is it worth doing or do they need to be dried to be appreciated properly?

I believe these are beech trees, not birches, and they appear to be suffering from beech leaf disease which is a newly introduced and highly deadly species of nematode.
