The ongoing Cultural Revolution in the West: "The data paints a troubling picture of U.S. adults stretched thin between societal division and personal disconnection." https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2025/11/nation-suffering-division-loneliness https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a6d421908d2bff4bf91afa89dc59ba25f192ba6f1744b8e25e835546e533a9c9.file

The money in solar isn't in electricity, it is in installation. Once that is done the solar power farms are more or less abandoned and when it comes time for major maintenance and/or removal, the owners are long gone, having disappeared in a maze of sub-contractors and international schemes. Left with the mountains of toxic waste, ruined land, irreversible pollution, are the people. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/8528d58706b68ddd94acec9c83abeb6ed69ff5a0de437beee9e6952848c80d5e.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/91c2ff789fcdc21bc2957267c04297c75622d4f66b932e93e90c912519f74c3a.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/78b422f5a8d1aad2602aef5ceda775a9487bb3bcb5b218e0c22f36f97e833bdb.file

Japan is still the poster case for declining birth rates even though almost all developed countries have even lower birth rates by now. The reason of course is that while Japan's decline started decades ago, it is a shock to the system of Europe, Asia and North America. Japan has by now decades of experience of birth rate decline (or the corresponding "aging society"). It behooves other countries to closely study Japan and draw lessons from it: what to do, what not to do, what to expect, what to fear. Of course the lessons would be more easily applied of the West were still largely homogenous and cohesive. Still, the least we can expect of competent leadership is a vision of sorts, a relatively believable picture of our countries in five, ten, twenty, fifty year's time. The fact that no such plans or visions or even statistics come up is of course ample proof that our leadership is both incompetent and hostile. You'd better be prepared for compounding hardships. Things are about to become far far worse.

RT @cremieuxrecueil@twitter.com: The British Medical Journal's Journal of Medical Ethics has published a defense of female genital mutilation. After reading their case, I'm not sold. I still think we should ban female genital mutilation. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f22ec2e5e0590356f3c2467f8f55b61fa9ed80293e65515fb3295f7c8a59db70.file
