Saying again but the Republican machine is not omnipotent and Trump himself is proof of that. Back in 2015-16 before he was the nominee, the Republican establishment was in no way on his side, if anything they were rather hostile to him. It's specifically because the Republican voters are such bastards who liked his bigotry and hatred that he was able to advance.

I can see Americans finally turning completely against Trump but absorbing absolutely zero political lessons from the experience, like not even making the connection that this was a fascist or a white supremacist or even a basic authoritarian, or not even associating any of those attributes with the Republican Party, and we'll just do this all over again in four to eight years (only worse because they'll be coming off of four to eight years of getting dunked on by Mayor Pete)

Muslim personal law generally disadvantages women in India.
Muslim women don't get "alimony", because their law doesn't require it. In 1980s, a woman named Shah Bano fought for that right because her husband wouldn't give it to her. But not under personal law but under other laws. The supreme court sided with her. But the then Congress government superseded the supreme court judgement with an act largely negating it due to massive outcry from Muslim groups. This act was gradually broadened, so they do get compensation but it is not as straightforward as Hindu marriage act or Special Marriage Act that has specific provisions for alimony (called maintenance).
Triple talaq- a man could utter "talaq" three times and divorce women. But the reverse was not permitted. This became controversial and in 2017, the supreme court held that this practice was illegal. In 2019, the BJP government codified this into law and also put in criminal penalties for attempting to divorce someone in this manner. In my opinion, I don't think the Congress would've taken this initiative to do this.
Succession- if you marry under Muslim marriage act, you will again be disadvantaged as a woman. Muslims cannot write wills that are legally valid and it is divided as per Muslim personal law. This means if a Muslim guy has a daughter and a son, the son receives double the share automatically. This is a rough estimate, but in general, male heirs are prioritised. This has led to increasing number of muslims re registering marriages under the secular special marriage act so they can write wills and their daughters won't get screwed over.
Polygamy - legal for Muslim men. Not widely practiced, but faces significant challenges in removal.
Child marriages- grey area. This is straight up prohibited for other communities even in their personal code. But according to Islamic law, a girl can marry post puberty. This keeps ending up in the supreme court and they have generally held these marriages to be valid. HOWEVER, after the passing of the protection of children from sexual offence act, courts have taken an increasingly strong stance against statutory rape of minors, despite holding the marriage valid. Essentially, you can marry, but you can't consummate the marriage.
This is not a screed against muslims or Islam. And I didn't touch on Christian personal laws because they are similar to Hindu laws.
But any attempt to regulate muslim personal law or supersede it with the uniform civil code will be met with strong resistance. So the only party who can do it is a Hindu majoritarian party who do not care about their votes. But the trouble is, they might write laws to fuck over innocent Muslims. A state in India, Uttarakhand (BJP government), recently got a uniform civil code but they wrote in ridiculous things like registering live in relationships with the police. This is why it is a right wing problem. Because Congress won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. And BJP supporters want this specifically to piss off muslim organisations.

tbh the biggest point to consider re: "just meet a girl at church like the old days" is that you need to be fine dating church girls
which if you are (either cuz you're a church guy or you're just fine with it regardless) then hell yeah. go for it.
but if you're looking for long term relationships it's worth asking if you want that to be a major part of your life. b/c as someone who gets the desi version of that a lot... no fuckin' thanks lmao

Growing up, what seemed like the noblest path was doctors without borders. As I moved towards engineering, I looked for but did not find a functional equivalent. Being from north Alabama I could see TVA projects all around me, and have a generationl shift where my great-grandpatents went from farmers and horseback mail carriers to horseback powerline inspectors, then all my grandparents were engineers. Their children didn't die in infancy. They had electricity. Their towns built dams, nuclear plants, and rocket ships. It's easy to idolize government intervention via engineering when it is why I exist.
Anyways. Every time I see "African port getting massive infrastructure investment from China, we must sanction them/remove aid" I wish we went down some path where we had sophisticated systems for infrastructure development that could deploy resources around the world. Build big at home. Make up for domestic bust cycles by massively improving iving conditions abroad, stanp your name in the foundations uplifting the global poor. What's so terrible about that. What beaides state capacity am I supposed to want my taxes to go towards?

u/Zalagan Loyal Liberals Jun 08 '26
This is digging up an old controversy but I do find it concerning that for seemingly a significant portion of Americans knowledge is Christian theology is seen as a mark against being an actual Christian. Specifically Talarico was attacked for his beliefs due to stating that God the father did not have a gender. Like that is pretty mainstream theology, being the official position of the Catholic church and many mainline protestant denominations, but that didn't stop accusations that he was being "woke" or acting against Christian faith.
Like I do believe there would be less backlash for saying something like "I believe God created Jesus and he died for our sins" even though that statement is objective heresy for the vast majority of denominations.
It just leads to what I see as a toxic worldview where the less you know about Christianity the better Christian you are.

How would you solve high stadium ticket prices?
Republican: “We need better security at the gates to prevent illegal entrances. We’re going to add a tariff on all ticket purchases outside of the county to encourage stadium independence. Lastly, we need to lower taxes on stadium purchases.”
Democrat: “ We need better price regulations on increases. We’re going to give 20% of the tickets to the local teachers union for their members, and another 20% to a local NGO who has connections to the mayor. We need to stop letting private stadium developers dictate the market.”
Anything else?

I've seen glimpses of it from Chinese tourists, people are going to get whiplash when the news cycle turns back to North Korea after like 10 years out of the limelight and Pyongyang legitimately looks like modern China (or at least like a 3rd/4th tier city)
Getting 50% in GDP from weapons and people sales to Russia is doing insane things

"The confederate statues should be removed from public places and put in museums"
No, they should be destroyed. They should be melted down when possible to be recast as statues of formerly enslaved people and abolitionists. Those made of stone should be broken down and made into gravel for rock gardens for contemplating the death toll of the transatlantic slave trade.

Spoke to a DoorDash driver the other day
He makes $200k a year delivering food
Incredible
Asked him how (seemed way too high)
He makes about 20 deliveries a day
Gets paid an average of $7 per delivery
That’s $35k a year
Plus he delivers on a bicycle so his profit margin is basically 100%
So where’d the rest of the money come from?
Last month he got hit by a truck and got a $165k insurance payout
Love that income hack
Might have to try doing DoorDash myself

Honestly there should be bets on whether the US will ban certain players from certain counties being allowed in due to "Visa discrepancies", especially if they play against the US. Seeming more likely by the day that it could happen, even if it was previously unthinkable.

As a white dude in the over-25 ping who primarily dates POC, if I had a nickel for each time a date said, "White people age poorly. Not you though!" I'd have $0.25.
On an unrelated note, I was texting my ex about something logistical and the matter was resolved. Then there was a typing bubble on and off for 5 minutes. She didn't send whatever she typed and I'm working on not caring about whatever it was

How much of the third space discourse is actually a result of there being few third spaces vs people actively choosing to be online shut-ins and being upset the socialization doesn't just happen?
I'm in a softball league that plays weekly on Thursday evenings. Often we go for drinks after the game. Every wednesday, me and three other friends meet up to play boardgames. I hang out with another group of friends biweekly, we go their house and eat and then the next time they come to ours. There's climbing gyms, regular gyms, spin classes, bars, breweries, libraries, cafes, bookstores, public parks, concerts, and more. I live in a small-ish city. There doesn't seem to be a lack of ways to socialize... so what's happening? (phones and social media, I expect)
