No, poverty is the default state.
No, poverty is not natural. Capitalism keeps people poor on purpose, because only poor people are willing to work for low wages. We're forced to. The fact that we have 80% poverty globally today is the curse of capitalism. It creates poverty on purpose.
Community note
World Bank estimates extreme poverty at ~10% globally in 2024 (under $3/day), not 80%. It was ~75%+ in 1820 and has fallen sharply since, especially with growth in market economies. blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/se… ourworldindata.org/extreme-povert…

Isn't it fascinating that our society chose to let call centers degrade the main purpose of phones?

About 99.7% of Somali children under five do not have a birth certificate, and only about 3% of births are registered Can I nuke Somalia without repercussions, since almost none of them count as people by your standard?

The entire Malfoid saga, complete with the revelation that multiple RW chuds on this website are actually quite gifted fan fic writers, should give you a glimmer of hope that the arts can be reclaimed from decades of Progressive mediocrity. There is a yearning for something greater. As one of my followers wrote to me in a DM, this is a fantastic sign for the future.

watch autism turn out to be entirely socially mediated by something stupid like "your parents spoke to you in full sentences instead of baby talk"

To my reckoning, the fundamental mistake of the seeker-sensitive movement is existing

"If we kill a killer, we're no better than they are." False. They killed an innocent. We killed a killer. "But it won't bring the dead person back." True. But it will send the killer to the land of the dead. "But what about mercy?" I'll extend the same mercy to the killer as the killer showed the victim.
As Tennessee steams ahead with plans to execute their first woman in more than TWO CENTURIES, Death Penalty Action and community leaders around Tennessee ensured that there was visible and vocal opposition to the planned execution of Christa Pike. On Sunday we Marched 4 Mercy, carrying with us a letter to Gov. Bill Lee from the men on death row inviting him to simply come pray with them. That shouldn't be too much to ask for. bit.ly/ChristaPike #SaveChristaPike

Young men aren't interested in a docile Christianity. They do not want a form of godliness that denies the power thereof. They want power, and they know true unsubverted Christianity has it. It has power unlike any other force on earth. Power to push back the political cultural enemies of their people. Here, on earth, in the physical realm. They know this, despite almost all of modern Christianity retreating from this historical legacy and reality. Learning Christianity from history and theologians that lived over a century ago is probably the best route for young men who have never been exposed to it. Obviously find a church, preferably one that won't try to throw cold water on your ambition, but understand most modern Christianity will be uncomfortable with its own historical applications.

You’ll live
I am still gutted by the defeat of the Assisted Dying Bill: both in principle and for those facing a terrible death - who will now live to suffer while opponents walk away and take no responsibility for the harm they have done to countless people. They took away options and hope.

Only 13% of ungrads at UT are white males, Wilford. You can believe the finger is not on the scale against them, but your belief would be wrong.
UT lets in literally everyone, of any race, who makes the top 5% of their high school class. From @Smirkley, I have their white SAT mean as 1267. Just saying. We don't need a whole set of right-wing "alt facts" to rival left-wing nonsense.

Killer has no motive? Must be legally insane. Acquit. Killer has a motive? Must have been justified then. Acquit.
Not only does “altruistic filicide” concede Lindsay was aware of her actions, it also implies she viewed her actions as in the children’s best interest. The juror then interpreted this as a valid reason to acquit. Prosecution completely shit the bed with this case.

I get asked regularly why I don’t uproot myself to try something new, gamble on some venture, burn 5-figures on hoping to get a new career path. I’m 27, I’m tired, I’ve been fighting every day for a decade and more. I just want a wife, a house and kids. The last thing anyone wants, with the mindset I have, is for me to decide on another adventure.
I think virtually all discourse around the job market and Gen Z could be better navigated if you just imagine Gen Z are fifty year old men. No, there’s absolutely zero desire for adventure. At this stage of life, you would want to just settle down and have a family.

It’s the opposite. People aspire to be Streamers because regular jobs are now dead ends.
Zoomers, I know being an online influencer/streamer is something many of you aspire to, but it’s a dead end. You will loose your ability to speak freely and become dependent on your audience (or worse, interested “funders”). You will make it harder to get hired in a traditional job bc of your public persona. You will waste years of your life chasing relevance until you’re too old and stale to keep up, and then you will need to start again. Just don’t do it!

This is literally why “conservatives” have encouraged the expulsion of mothers from the home Mothers provided absolutely critical social capital but not GDP, they didn’t make the line go up The modern conservative movement is designed to separate children from their mothers
Everybody thinks stay at home mom is a real job until you suggest that stay at home moms should be eligible to compete for the same funding that moms who put their kids in daycare have access to. Then it feels a little bit more like Chamber of Commerce thinking to me and just wanting to make sure you have as many bodies in the workforce as possible.

AI streamers predate this. Neuro-sama has livestreamed as an AI VTuber interacting with chat since December 2022. Real-time infinite AI video livestreams using models like MiniMax H3 Max also launched in late August 2026. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-sama twitch.tv/vedal987 numerama.com/tech/2321717-c… kick.com/n3on
