The Gender Death Gap

The Gender Death Gap

by | Jul 9, 2023 | ,

A central claim of modern day Social Justice advocates is that the existence of disparities, is proof of discrimination.

By this metric, American police and the American workplace system are systemically, systematically, and fundamentally sexist (and ageist!).

An overwhelming majority of people shot and killed by police are male – over 95 percent. More than half of the victims are between 20 and 40 years old.

– Washington Post, Police Shootings Database

The real problem with police is two-fold. First, they are coercively funded via taxation, meaning they receive money from their involuntary customer base whether or not they are providing a quality service. Second, the system of Officer Supremacy means they have a right to give citizens orders, and the citizens have a legal obligation to obey them.

Bad news for workplace equality as well. According to Forbes,

[T]he huge difference in workplace fatalities between men and women, with 4,761 men dying on the job compared to 386 women in 2017. The fatality rate for men was about 10 times that of women: 5.7 per 100,000 vs. 0.6 per 100,000 for women.

– Chuck DeVore, Fatal Employment: Men 10 Times More Likely Than Women To Be Killed At Work

It turns out, men have roughly 13 times the amount of testosterone that women do, making them more likely to commit acts of direct physical violence such as rape and murder. It also explains why they apply for jobs that entail more risk and result in higher compensation.

Please let us put to bed this evil, divisive myth that the existence of disparities in outcome is proof of unjust discrimination!

CFR President Richard Haass Admits the UniParty is Real

CFR President Richard Haass Admits the UniParty is Real

by | Jun 13, 2023 |

It used to be—think about it, until recently it didn’t really matter all that much who won an election at the presidential level. Don’t get me wrong, obviously there were differences between the parties. But if I can use a sports metaphor, the differences between Republicans and Democrats, per se, were within the forty-yard lines. Yeah, there’d be differences but actually what Democrats and Republicans had in common was far greater than what they did not.

– Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations (June 1st, 2023)

Besides the “until recently” part, I fully agree with Mr. Haass.

Consider the overlap between Democrats and Republicans. Both support:

  • National Security Agency spying on Americans
  • CIA
  • FBI
  • The military invading countries based on lies and murdering civilians
  • NATO
  • The Federal Reserve
  • State involvement in healthcare
  • State schooling
  • Occupational licensing
  • Taxation (sales and income)
  • Commercial licensing
  • Tariffs
  • Immigration restrictions
  • Agricultural subsidies
  • Increasing military spending
  • State police force 
  • Increasing the Federal Budget
  • The drug war
  • Food stamps
  • Social Security
  • FDA
  • EPA
  • OSHA
  • Capital gains tax
  • Bank bailouts
Getting Money Out of Politics: Abolish the IRS

Getting Money Out of Politics: Abolish the IRS

by | Jun 11, 2023 |

[I]f you don’t get money out of politics, then yes in the long term it’s hopeless. But we must, we must get money out of politics.

– Cenk Uygur, creator of The Young Turks

Progressive Cenk Uygur said these words without realizing the fact that the primary source of money in politics comes from the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, two institutions he proudly supports.

What he is most likely talking about, are voluntary political donations. In other words, people choosing to give their money to candidates is wrong, but those very same politicians should have the right to coercively fund themselves via the IRS. Unlike Netflix or Amazon, the IRS gets to put people in prison for choosing to disassociate with them.

Recap:

Millions in donor funds = Pure Evil

$6.27 Trillion annually taken by force = Progressive Social Justice

Political democracy means you get a 1 in 10,000,000 vote on who wins an election, and Democrats call this representation. However, when people actually choose to do things that have a direct effect on their lives, Cenk supports the state forcibly stopping them. Mandating by law, that people chip in for things they might oppose (taxation), Cenk strips people of their right of actual representation. By supporting commercial and occupational licensing, Cenk strips them of the right to achieve thier goals in life.

As a wise man once said, Progressivism is simply domestic Imperialism.

Roland Fryer’s Shocking Conclusion

Roland Fryer’s Shocking Conclusion

by | Jun 10, 2023 | ,

On the most extreme use of force – officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police officers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of officer-involved shootings.

The “Rich Get Richer” Myth

The “Rich Get Richer” Myth

by | Jun 4, 2023 |

Some 94 percent of Americans who reach “top 1 percent” income status will enjoy it for only a single year. Approximately 99 percent will lose their “top 1 percent” status within a decade.

Now consider the top 400 U.S. income-earners—a far more exclusive club than the top 1 percent. Between 1992 and 2013, 72 percent of the top 400 retained that title for no more than a year. Over 97 percent retained it for no more than a decade.
