People who want multicultural societies often view themselves as being enlightened and tolerant, theri opponents as hateful. I think it takes only a little knowledge of history to know that being against multiculturalism is to be against interethnic violence.

Interesting new flag out of Scotland

I love this question because I'm a history nerd and will take any chance to talk about my family history going back four centuries. An Asian girl trying to put me down is no match for my Mild White Guy Autism.

Obviously ugly store design is not because of 'wokeness' but people aren't completely off-base in associating the two. These designs are the result of global homogenized culture in which interesting individualistic edges are shaved off to make things more broadly acceptable,

The Pokemon-Goification of politics is here. I would bet money that almost none of these people are parents. As wanye likes to say, you're either a parent or a child.

England famously was on the side of the Nazis in WWII, of course.

I was reading some accounts of Christian work in 1800s America. It was very common for people who led lives of sin, drinking and gambling were the vices du jour, who would repent and lead honestly afterwards. The fact that everything is recorded now makes this harder.

Pagan religions are often cobbled together from whatever is prominent in the environment. Seafaring people worship the sea, mountain people worship the biggest mountain. It's hard not to see progressivism as a proto-religion based around race emerging in a multiracial society.

The no. 1 reason to have kids is because it's the most rewarding experience you'll ever have. A distant second reason is that someone will have to take care of you in your old age after social security collpases.

Men and women have different communication styles on average. Once you accept this, a lot of things about the opposite sex bug you less. They're not trying to upset you, they're just different than you.

This is why every year scores of Americans risk life and limb to illegally cross into Mexico and claim asylum.

Glad to see Christopher Columbus has been uncanceled. Hope he gets his holiday back.

People don't mind suffering or tedium, but it must be for something. The reason people are depressed is that they're living for nothing but themselves and they know one day they'll be gone. People used to live for God, for their people, and this made life worth living.

I've said it before but a lot of progressive culture is remaking religion from scratch. Community rites that have no clear tangible value but are imbued with metaphysical meaning have become commonplace on the Left.

The gender wage gap is mostly about married men doing one helluva job earning more than everyone else.

Watching the Pod Save guys slowly be driven insane by staring into the moral abyss of a party they helped create the modern version of has been an absolutely perfect sweet spot of schadenfreude for me

I'm all for not rushing to judgement but to say "turns out he's innocent" while linking to an article that's just the guy in question saying "I'm innocent" is mind-numbingly dumb. The girls' mother has a different story (below).
