El Salvador is rightly famed for its strides on public order, but most people don’t grasp the brutal extent of previous gang rule or the complex dividends peace affords. All kinds of mundane and essential public goods re-materialize now that people can walk around, ride transit, and go about their lives without being terrorized. This historic square used to be patrolled by warring gangs, and housed an informal economy of corrugated-tin shanties where subsistence street vendors forfeited much of their meager income to “protection” rackets. No formal economy is possible if thugs might burn or smash or sabotage any capital improvement you make. Now, there are ordinary shops lining this downtown area — and even early Christmas decorations.

All of their initiatives involve taking resources from native White Europeans and transferring them to people with ancestry from outside Europe, whether healthcare, job opportunities or housing. This is stated in the language of anti-racism. But there is no reason to think that racism is the cause of any of the existing inequalities.

Dear Poly team We have for a long time asked for more security -and we fucking need it Please, just please start taking users fund security more seriously. Luckily, this exploit was poorly executed and only 2.5m was stolen, but this is horrible. We have asked for additional security measures for a very long time, please try You should also have automated systems to catch this - it was extremely obvious to me as a human monitoring it, that it was a script dumping positions, you should have systems up to detect this ASAP and freeze.

I think that outright election fraud outside the third world is likely rare and inconsequential. But what is underrated is semi-corrupt election manipulation. For example, having exceedingly long queues at voting stations where the political opponent's voters have higher numbers. This happened during the 2020 election.

Lula had a gain that was spread all over. I don't see how such a pattern could emerge from election fraud. Instead, Lula succeeded in activating people who had voted blank or who did not vote in the first round in 2026, after not succeeding with this in 2022. I don't know how, but that is what must have happened. Certainly a surprising result. I think there is a useful lesson about the large potential of activating more voters. Possibly Lula's team had some approach in the pocket and purposefully held it back for the runoff round.

Another day, another violent assault rape of a young European woman by a Muslim immigrant. There is no country that keeps statistics of how large a proportion of stranger assault rapes are committed by Muslim immigrants. If they did, we would see what an utter disaster the mass immigration from Middle and Africa has been. The most misogynistic policy, without comparison.

This is a strong list, but there is missing one important one: Look into how to increase the birth rates. If the working age population keeps dwindling away, Europe will not rediscover its vitality. On the cont

This person is challenged, so let’s help him understand, so others avoid the same pitfall As we do that, you’ll see how this graph is much worse than it looks at first sight in 2 ways When we talk about crime and immigration, the underlying question is: Who should we let in? A person that commits 20x more crime than the average native is very bad. Don’t get these people in. Now, if you only have 10 of them, are they yet a national threat? No, they’re not. Can they become one? Surely, if you only let in people like them. So by talking about the per capita, you’re raising the alarm. Another way to say the same thing: if a woman finds herself alone at night in the subway, and she can choose between one wagon with a native and one with an afghan asylum seeker, which one should she choose? By far, she will be safer with the native. Does it mean the majority of rapes are committed by Afghans? No! There are too few. Thankfully! If there were as many as natives, the rape rate would be 10-20x higher. So yes, you’re more likely to be raped by a native because there are many more. Now the types of rapes. Broadly there are 2: from ppl you know, and from ppl you don’t know. I’d argue the rapes from ppl you don’t know are much scarier, because you have zero agency on them, because there are few choices you can make differently to avoid them, short of curtailing your daily life. Meanwhile, you have some agency with partners: don’t start relationships with bad people, leave them, don’t contact them, call for help… I assume the natives tend to commit more of this type of crime, whereas immigrants commit more rapes to strangers. Therefore not only are these immigrants more likely to commit rape, they’re also more likely to commit the worst type of rape—to strangers. And when we have public debates on these things, public behavior is much more relevant than private behavior, so this type of rape is much more relevant to public debate than the more private one (even if both are relevant). So yes, this graph is bad because it’s logarithmic and undersells the problem, but also because this blends both stranger and acquainted rape. If you only look at stranger rape, immigrants would likely be even worse. And yet, also, as a woman you’re more likely to be raped by somebody who knows you, so beware

It is true that most women are raped in a home by someone they know, and that many of those rapists are natives. But, if you are a women who is not involved with a potential rapist, and have not invited a potential rapist into your home, then for you, the image is different. Then being raped on the street or in a park by a stranger is a major part of your rape risk. And immigrants from the Middle East or Africa have far, far higher propensity for committing assault rape in a park.

I wonder if there is a correlation between people who supported covid restrictions and mandates in 2021+, and those who are against making a peace deal with Putin that includes concessions. My hypothesis would be that there is.

Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights says that you have a right to private and family life. This has over time drifted to mean that we can't deport foreign violent criminals. This is not what people had in mind when the Convention was written and agreed to. But now these ideological legal activists want to try and go even further, and say that it is also against Article 8 not to give foreigners citizenship in the first place. It is not a human right to get a European citizenship! But unfortunately there is a decent chance they will get away with it, because our democratic tools to fight these Convention interpreters are limited.

The left wing won the recent election in Sweden because of the Muslim immigrant votes. They would have lost decisively without this. Muslims receive very generous welfare in Sweden, and are of course interested in voting for even more welfare money for themselves.

This is the most important aspect: Jason Arday committed scientific fraud. He must go. And so must the leaders at Cambridge who support him after it is revealed that he has committed fraud. This includes among others Sonita Alleyne, the Master of the college at U. of Cambridge in which Jason Arday is employed. She stands in "unwavering solidarity" of Jason Arday. We obviously cannot accept a situation in which members of the leadership of a university stand in unwavering solidarity with academics who commit scientific fraud. One can hope that eventually even the media will pick up on this, and start seeing more of the picture.

This user is Pakistani. Plausibly the vast majority of the likes and retweets are from people living in Pakistan or the Middle East. Complaining about Epstein island as a Pakistani is utterly ridiculous. Way worse things happen all the time in Pakistan. Hell, way worse things are done by the Pakistanis living in the UK. Generally, I don't care how many Muslims living in Pakistan or the Middle or Africans like some content on X. I don't want to see their dumb antisemitism, or their idiotic opinons about U.S. politics. Even if 15,000 of them like something, I don't care. I'm only interested in content liked by Westerners.
