I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

i am no friend of the soviets but it's a mistake of think of their architectural contribution as being just brutalism, because socialist classicism as typified by the work of lev rudnev is genuinely quite majestic, and is a competitor here

a fatal failure of atheism has been it's inability to rival religious structures in any way whatsoever

guys you don't see it because you're on the front end, not the back end, and don't see publishers telling people who pitch them books on conservatism that they don't publish too many so people don't stop publishing with them

genuinely kind of mystified by this attitude you're not situated so as to be privy to this if it *is in fact* happening, so why would you think the fact that you see no good reason implies that there *is* no good reason?

i hear this a lot but i think this is a bad take for two reasons first: the assumption that only property owners take a long-term interest in society is just flatly wrong; there are many other reasons that obviously influence the votesof *even property owners*

Only property owners should vote. Owning property ties your financial future to the country’s future. I want voters asking what a policy does to the next twenty years, not just what it puts in their pocket next month.

i don't oppose some restrictions on voting beyond what is currently in place, at least not in principle i wouldn't mind, for instance, a mandatory civics test; my issues there are primarily prudential and of implementation, rather than of principle
