>>24700010Wonder in God's infinite graceI'm rewatching Poirot (the endless series with David Suchet) and it's kind of notable the main reason you find out anyone is Catholic is because no divorce translates into murder motivation.
>>24700013That series is amazing on so many levels.However I don't think women understand or care about detective work or inference reasoning and it was all a facade so Agatha Christie could write about gossipy twaddle, love triangles and conniving minds.If you think about it Poirot is nothing but a busybody who takes small talk and anecdotes at face value and then makes ridiculous conjectures based on paper-thin evidence and visual cues.In the real world there could be a hundred reasons why someone would want to wear a hat slanted a certain way, but Poirot just 'knows' it was to cover an abusive husband's bruise on whom the lady took a deadly revenge on.
>>24700096>gossipy twaddle, love triangles and conniving minds.Christie is BPD af (nearly framing your husband for murder and then writing thinly veiled books about him being a murderer) but she has that sweet detective fiction writer autism where a lot of it is>This is all the points of intersection of bus routes and this train line on the second Sunday of the month>What you really need to understand about early Syrian architecture >In order to detect this rare heavy metal poisoning the key signsI mean, The Pale Horse is responsible for more thallium poisoning detections than medical textbooks, the also very good Young Poisoner's Handbook, and its real life inspiration combined.Ariadne Oliver (Agatha's self insert who hates her Swedish detective she keeps writing) is my favourite in the series because <3 Zoe Wannamaker, but if you want a really great speculation into Christie as a character, watch Agatha (1979)I don't think Christie was faking, I think she's a bone fide true crime loving anxious girly pop and she should not be scorned

>>24699854If we lived in a just world, everyone involved in shuttering USAID would be shot. But we don't live in a just world, so nothing will happen to them. Greatest crime of the century thus far. A bunch of 20 year olds got memed into retarded political faggotry and now hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, will die for no fucking reason, many of them children. USAID was astonishingly cheap on the scale of the US federal budget. I will never forgive Luke Farritor, and I hope God punishes him for the rest of his life.>inb4 edgelord /pol/ memewords
>>24700200It was good PR for America but that was about it. There’s a reason the left opposed USAID: it didn’t address neoimperialism, capitalism, etc. and in reality those things are what keeps the countries the aid was being sent to poor. If anything USAID just makes America seem nicer without actually solving the problem America caused. That said, it was better than nothing, which is what we have now. The left predicted China would take the reins there but even if it does there will be avoidable harm done.
>>24700200It does have devastating short term consequences, but long term I don't think they planned it out well either.It exists largely to keep the illusion of the US as a superpower. Most superpowers had or have such a plan since the Cold War. China's One Road policy is but one example. These things don't exist because they're nice and charitable governments. They exist to give a sense of dependence, that things might be worse if X totalitarian government disappeared overnight. You can't keep yanking that and expect your codependent partner to not find another pimp. I'm not optimistic this leads to some greater self reliance. More likely it leads to other such programmes being able to afford the same kind of devil you know dependence for cheaper.>>24700206It's not really good PR. Very few people outside of the US will see it as a good thing. It's not really the charity that makes these places poor, it's that you won't pay a living wage to the farmer/miner/manufacturer where industries are thriving but low waged. Most of these countries declaring that they're going to stop exporting conflict minerals at slave wages and nationalise and unionise the whole thing is going to get them invaded as a cheaper option for developed countries. If you were American it would be like writing in the tip line>Smile more!
>>24700206>>24700226Both of these takes are right -- USAID was a tool of US imperialism and doesn't solve any underlying problems -- but the fact remains that millions of people depended on USAID food and medicine, and without it, they will simply die. /are dying right now. There's an argument to be made for rolling back USAID. I don't agree with that argument, but like, it could be made and I wouldn't immediately dismiss it. But there's no non-retarded justification for shuttering it the way they did. If you want to avoid millions of excess, needless, innocent deaths, you'd have to do a structured rollback over several years to give private orgs the time to fill in the humanitarian gap. >self-reliance, keeps them poorThere's an argument to be made here too, but I don't think it's right, simply because you can lecture a classroom full of people on institution-building and the importance of rule of law and central banking all day long, but none of it matters if the class will starve to death at the end of the week.
>>24700257The thing is the aid exists so people see taking it away as starving people. But they don't see not paying them for their goods and services as starving people. It's the>But I bought her flowers after I put her in hospitaldefense, when most people in developed countries don't want to find out their charity doesn't really cover the slave or low wage labour damage
Super hot take: Muslims rape British teenage girls because those are their prime years
>>24700275I see this sort of arrogance in my liberal friends. They are nice people but they are utterly blind to the true costs of things. I remember when the first round of ICE/immigration drama occurred earlier this year one of them argued it was bad because “who will pick the fruits?” When I suggested we pay fruit-pickers more and thus encourage Americans to work such jobs, the reaction was “I don’t want to pay more for fruits!” (Mind you, I’m not anti-immigrant myself, but this being the logic behind supporting immigration is something I find appalling). They have the sort of reaction to onshoring manufacturing as well, because of the increase in the goods’ costs.Implicitly these people are acknowledging that they are underpaying for the lifestyles and goods they enjoy. The true costs are much higher, and in fact you’re screwing over the Mexican migrant farm worker by not paying her what you would have to pay an American citizen to do the same job. But people don’t want to confront or fix that. Material concerns outweigh ethical concerns I guess.
>>24700275You're right about this -- the kicker is that taking the aid away does actually starve people, you know? Like it's not a framing device or some kind of propaganda lie. That's just what happens. Take the aid away and a hundred thousand infants will just starve to death. Lots of my friends on the left won't acknowledge this, which is endlessly frustrating>>24700307>material concerns outweigh ethical concernsYeah, they always do; just with the USAID thing, the kicker is that two things are true at once. It's true that the Mexican farm worker's getting screwed over because his boss is underpaying him compared to what he'd pay an American, and it's true that underpaying the Mexican means that Americans get cheap produce. It's also true that the Mexican farmworker's making more money by getting screwed in America than he would be earning market rate at the same job in Mexico. We are a phenomenally rich country. This doesn't mean that it's fine to screw over the Mexican, he ought to be paid more.

>>24700297Importing Muslims into Europe was bad enough but if you’re going to do it, take proper precautions. By that I mean the death penalty for rape and a judicial system willing to enforce a penalty.

Has anyone seen the four-part documentary series The Fourth Estate? Just learned about it and curious if it's worth watching.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fourth_Estate_(TV_series)

>>24699854I'm in awe about the future of the Western world. Masses of immigrants from all parts of the world, a highly muttified upper class consisting of a few whites amongst hapa mutts, mulattoes, Indians and Jews. At most, the middle class may remain considerably white. What will be the end game of this, socially and geopolitically?
>>24699854I've had stomach pain the last hour or two. Ate Wendys and beef jerky.
I hate that I sometimes see beauty in the most minute things. It is so small that it can barely be considered art, but the feeling it produces inside me is so strong that I can't help but crave more, seeking some depth. Yet, there is nothing to search for - very little to discuss or think about. All it leaves me with is a mystery of where the beauty came from.

>>24700792Race is irrelevant, the real battle is in reversing offshoring or otherwise going from a service based to a manufacturing based economy. If that can be done we are saved, otherwise the West will rot.
>>24700206I oppose it because it gives my tax dollars to non-citizens
>>24700949You think it is inconsequential that the wife of the president is a Russian, and that the wife of the Vice-President is an Indian? While these heads of state themselves are still fully white and of European origin, the same will not account for the generation that comes after them. These mutts will want to change the law according to the taste of mulattoes and Chongs.
>>24700976We start from different assumptions about the world. I reject the claim that a race has something innate to it that no other race can have. I am civic nationalist in that sense.All of this is fluff however. The core of the matter is in the West’s agricultural and industrial might. We are falling as a civilization because we are a husk, having exported our manufacturing to China. Bring back the factories, push more people to the rural parts of the West, and things would quickly begin to recover.
>>24700792I think about this too. I try not to for my sanity. Society will become increasingly low-trust, atomised, and segregated as ethnic/religious groups congregate. Crime will continue to increase. Islam may grow to become the majority religion in some European countries. Naturally, it will therefore represent a major political force and affect policy. It's unlikely that there will be any Islamic takeovers though.Geopolitically, the West will continue to stagnate and weaken, crippled by social, cultural and ethnic infighting. Meanwhile, the cold, hard Chinese Han ethnostate, unified in belief, culture and race, will become world hegemon. Indian diasporas in countries like the UK, Canada and Australia will become significant enough in population that they become significant political blocs, probably affecting foreign policy regarding India.
>>24701007>I reject the claim that a race has something innate to it that no other race can have.The races can contract qualities from other races through racial mixing. This process causes social revolutions when the ruling class of the nation sticks to the old ways while the masses already adopted a new way of thinking. It can also happen the other way around. The masses remain the same, the ruling class becomes a group of foreigners: leadership is overthrown less the ruling class adopts the culture of the masses. Examples include Frankish France, Mongol China.

>>24701017The Chinese have been playing the isolationist game forever, their government is too conservative to plan any kind of major conquests. The small colonies they sent to the West are barely noticed and the offspring mutts and assimilates to the culture with indifference.The Middle Easterners are highly endogamous, like the Indians and rarely intermarry. Unlike the East Asians, these two groups will remain homogenous forever. Then you have the Africans and the Latinos, quite indifferent to race, mutting and assimilating with indifference. The whites seem, in regards to the upper and lower classes, indifferent to mutting, but rather conservative among the populous middle classes.So there will be a bunch of mutts among a bunch of whites, among a bunch of Middle Easterners and Indians, and they will all participate in government, like is already the case in places like the UK. I can well imagine that there will be some sort of separationist movements in Europe built by unhappy white middle classes desiring a country without immigrants, but unable to sway the ruling class over to their side (mutted as they are but still white enough to ensure government principle). We do not know the scale of this hidden movement, the potency of it's believers, nor how far the ruling classes will go to crush them.
Who will win: Venezuela or the USA?
This painting depicts the temptation of Christ, and the devil here is depicted as a warlord.When tempted by the devil to worship him, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, rejected him and said we should only worship God.Satanists, may God curse them, promote worshiping the self. They believe you should make yourself into your own personal god to worship.Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, worshiped God instead. This is the First Commandment. Monotheism. From Abraham, peace be upon him.The Early Church, long before the contemporary doctrines of Christianity, represents the purest form of Christianity in my view as a Muslim and those Christians had a key role in the birth of Islam. Such as Bahira and Waraqah ibn Nawfal.Muslims believe that Islam is the way of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. He worshiped God and God alone. This is the Sunnah of the prophets. The Scripture of the prophets teaches that the antichrist will declare himself as God instead.

>>24701087The Chinese will try to take control of Taiwan eventually. In the meantime they won't attempt any conquests, but they will continue to exercise their growing economic power and grow their sphere of influence.White separatist movements won't be a thing. They'd be considered extremist groups and shut down immediately. There probably won't be any significant change to the direction of travel. Western media, institutions and leaders are for the most part ideologically captured by globalism and are hell bent on imposing it on the Western population as fast as possible.Western countries will probably end up as the "second world", with living standards remaining much higher than third world countries but eventually lagging behind those of a handful of Asian countries like China, SK, Japan, Singapore etc.

>>24701249Japan is ultra-liberal and ultimately Western in its design and culture. Unless it has a major right wing movement (like the Sanseitoū) take political dominance, it will end up with the same fate as the west. For example, mass immigration has already caused a demographic upset, with some 3% of Japan being foreign born, and most Japanese are not child-bearing age whereas most foreigners are.
