Doug lost a lot of credibility, but enough people still watch his slop so he's still doing it, just without a stable of other content creators orbiting him and being abused.

The postwar vision of suburbs in America was basically trying to adopt farm towns to Americans who were urban professionals for all intents and purposes but still had Jeffersonian brain worms. So many problems could have been avoided if all of the money spent promoting that version of the American dream had instead been spent moving people into then-modern condos and mixed use urban developments, but then I suppose we wouldn't have sold as many cars or destroyed as many black neighborhoods with highways.

This is what you get when you make a fantasy world were certain races are born evil, it attracts all the racist freaks that want to live out their genocide fantasies.

What's wild is that Drizz't appeared in the Icewind Dale books back in 1988, making it canon that in D&D you aren't born with a certain alignment just because of your race, but some people still cling to this outdated idea thirty-seven years later.

idk if anyone has tracked this specific statistic, but I am referring to the prosecution of pro-Palestine speakers and organizers, many of whom are Jewish.

Here's one two three articles on the topic.

I liked the image board format. 4chan's design with Hexbear moderation would be my ideal social media site.

Micro-level planning

Basically how China did it. It seems like a government seriously committed to ending poverty will inevitably reach this point where they've done all they can with big universal programs, and have to reach into all of the cracks in the system and all of the special cases and handle them on a much more personal level. Extremely cool stuff, I hope Kerala can keep it up and that the rest of India takes notice.

Rich people in China are more reigned by the government in than rich people in other countries, but they have plenty of them.

Not only machinery, but knowledge and experience too. If we were a sensible country we would be giving incentives for Chinese factory workers to come over and train our workforce, focusing one sector at a time with reasonable targeted tariffs paired with government investment, and so on.
