This is interesting. What does China do to make middle-class life less stressful?

Where did I say that?

Less danger of getting a home invasion, or mugged on the street, being fired for a sexist comment, or having your kids come out as trans.

Brilliant series. I suggest adding cross-links to each essay so that anyone landing on one can easily find the others. (I noticed a few such links, but they can be a little tricky to find.)

Thank you. Good idea.

Trilogy?

I count three articles.

Ah right, sorry. The way Twitter displays them tricked me, two links and one preview.

Interesting work. Potentially great. I think you're mostly correct about the terms of the debate and Bioleninism. Left-wingers like Corey Robin agree with you on what divides the left and the right, however, they will put that in their own language, so they will say that the left
-
is about societal democratization and emancipation of the oppressed while the right is about defending traditional social hierarchies of power and privilege. Robin in his book recognizes that rightists do this because they believe that these hierarchies creates better societies.

Some points. 1. How does the JQ fit into that? Jews are the most enthusiastic group about this and yet they excel at making money, more than East Asian and European gentiles, they are the greatest winners of capitalism, so why do they join the losers? 2. Why do other successful

groups do this? East Asians in the US and the elites of the NW Europeans seem to be with the program. 3. What about the role of big business and capitalists in importing the third world? Without the influence of these sectors the Mexicans and Pakistanis probably would not have

been imported, since most opposed it. Was that Bioleninism? What about the current Woke capital? 4. You said that the rich have no reason to unify and so they do not win. But that is not true. See the Koch Brothers network. The rich financed a war against labor that was extremely

successful. You refer to the egalitarian societies of the 60s, but in the 80s and 90s things changed. Unions were forced to retreat in the UK and they were crushed in the US, capital liberalization hurt the left in the Nordic countries, deregulations and privatizations abounded
-
in these and all other Western countries, most of the privatizations have not been reversed and it does not look like they are going to be. At the same time Reagan signed the end of California in the form of amnesty and Blair imported Pakistan into the UK. The right won the

economic battle, but immigration exploded along with social liberalism. Now we see working class whites breaking with the left. Trump won many of them while Clinton was apparently the first Democrat in a long time to win wealthy neighborhoods.
