I have been very busy with other things and have not been able to give this thread the love it deserves. Probably you guys can only look forward to my updates every month or so now.

Italy is supporting the Yellow Vest movement.

Alexandria OC trolls Joe Lieberman.

James Woods trolls Jim Acosta

Donald Trump trolls the EU.



Greeks riot during Merkel's visit


Brazil's gangs go nuts over Bolsonaro. And yet this will only make Brazilians feel more threatened and thus support him more.

The global k-shift continues.

Not only is r/k selection theory a discredited notion in evolutionary biology, your implication that conservative = k and liberal = r is ridiculous. Liberals believe in investing in society, using civic duty and public safety nets to maximize the opportunity afforded to people from shitty circumstances (druggy absentee parents, cultural bankruptcy, etc). Conservatives believe in a total free for all where you throw human meat into the grinder and let nature sort it out such that the cream will rise to the top and the unworthy will have nothing. Liberals are trying to maximize human capital (invest in offspring) and conservatives are trying to select for it (let the swarm of offspring loose and see who wins and who dies). Liberals also recognize the limitations and vulnerability of the environment while conservatives are okay with destroying the environment for economic gain and adapting to the ruins. That is patent k and r, respectively.
