LOTB Might Have Been Right About Abortion

I've expressed doubts as to the eugenic effect of abortion but I found an old post by LOTB referencing a study suggesting that, yes, abortion is eugenic after all.

Vox: Trump Administration Not Doing Enough to Help Giant, Global Tech Companies Underpay Workers

Vox has a new article  freaking out that the US government isn't doing enough to make sure tech companies get cheap labor from abroad to code. They might even have to (GULP) pay competitive wages in order to get techies to work. Or else they might move to Canada! Canada! I'm a former libertarian and someone who's area of study was economics. So I understand the logic of "if we aren't nice enough to big corporations they might move abroad" type argumentation. Indeed, you might find me on one of my old blogs making the same kind of argument when I was opposing minimum wage hikes or supporting corporate tax rates. It's one of those things that's tempting because there is a bit of truth to it. If a nation puts onerous enough regulations, taxes, etc on companies and there are much more convenient alternatives abroad that are easier to move to, it can have adverse impacts. One thing I also learned as I moved away from libertarianism/free markets (whateve

Female Privilege and Suffrage

Here's  a politician named JB Sanford arguing against women's suffrage in 1911: "Suffrage is not a right. It is a privilege that may or may not be granted. Politics is no place for a women consequently the privilege should not be granted to her. ...The men are able to run the government and take care of the women.

To man, woman is the dearest creature on earth, and there is no extreme to which he would not go for his mother or sister.  By keeping woman in her exalted position man can be induced to do more for her than he could by having her mix up in affairs that will cause him to lose respect and regard for her.

As long as woman is woman and keeps her place she will get more protection and more consideration t

Incels

"Met a mediocre looking girl on bumble. She seemed interested in sex. So I tried to set it up. It had been a while since I'd had sex. Then she asked for a nude picture. I suspected she was some sort of scammer. I said no to giving her nudes. I still asked to meet up in hopes of sex. She says yes and when I ask where to meet up she responds "Hell". Bet she got a real kick out of that. An average looking trashy girl gets to see a guy drool all over her during a conversation only to abruptly end it by making sure he knows his advances are really little more than a joke to her." Incels are an interesting group. Men who want sex but can't get any. Or maybe men who want human connection but are desperately lonely. Or maybe they're entitled losers who think they are entitled to women. "At a bar alone. Drunk as shit like usual. Tried talking to girls. After all, if i'm being honest, that's why I was there. I was there to have sex or at least
