> When the child can go to nursery you go back to work, return to 50/50 but also do more of the school pick ups
I don't think this is actually that common. If it takes a hit to career then 50/50 usually stops happening, maybe goes to 60/40 or less.

> This is precisely why 50/50 is a trap for women and why there is a rise in women choosing to be single
Because they would rather be single than be with someone who isn't making good money. That's the subtext. It isn't about the person, money is the fundamental subtext of everything.

There is no true reciprocal because generally the way these relationships play out, it follows a leech/victim pattern where the first one always overstates the nature of their contribution (could be a man or a woman, but the latter is more encouraged by the hivemind).

The benefit of true 50/50 financially (or close to it) is that there's no bullshitting around it, it's purely quantitative. This whole "reciprocal contribution" thing is just one giant psyop/negotiation to extract more out of the opposing party. "Reciprocal" can always be distorted. The thing is with finances there's no bullshitting around it. It's an irrefutable number.

Say there's some wannabe SAHM that wants to bullshit their way into marrying a rich guy. This 50/50 requirement instantly filters out this type. Maybe it's not a true 50/50, maybe it's 60/40, but this type will be instantly infuriated by this type of boundary because it now means that they're being held to a standard. So it limits the kind of bullshit they can get away with

>In the 1960s and 1970s, Rand developed and promoted her Objectivist philosophy through nonfiction, media appearances, and speeches,[98][99] including annual lectures at the Ford Hall Forum.[100] In answers to audience questions, she took controversial stances on political and social issues. These included supporting abortion rights,[101] opposing the Vietnam War and the military draft (but condemning many draft dodgers as "bums"),[102][103] supporting Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 against a coalition of Arab nations as "civilized men fighting savages",[104][105] claiming European colonists had the right to invade and take land inhabited by American Indians,[105][106] and calling homosexuality "immoral" and "disgusting", despite advocating the repeal of all laws concerning it.[107]
huh

Fountainhead was one of the first serious novels I read as a teenager and it's made me retarded forever

reminder that libertardism was created by a JEW (who was sickly rich btw but that's le small detail) by first coming to the conclusion that such a society would wipe out large swaths of non-jewish people off the planet since only the chosen people is made of not "economically weak actors", and that such a society is based and desirable, and then he worked out from the conclusion into the actual beliefs by letting other rich tards and uni professors paid truckloads of cash to come up with the actual philosophy and tenets of this supposed thinking current

>so hitler started ww2 by invading poland? thanks for admitting so. oh remember when he invaded the czechs and the austrians before that too?

Yes, I never disagreed with this. But what irks me is that Stalin did it too and got away with it when, theoretically, anyone (per this treaty) who invaded Poland should've gotten in trouble. Should've been just as much cause for World War II.

As for the Czechs and the Austrians, this was not a trigger for it.

The two events aren't even close to being the same you fucking castrato.

I wrote a lot about this but the site deleted my shit when I tried to post it.

It's funny you would ask this because I was in the region as a security guy and my academic studies vaguely cover this area. I've written one or two papers on it and have an interest in learning about it.

In general, being an air force pilot or military officer is prestigious in the GCC, so I doubt any state has trouble finding them. As for intel, I have no idea. But when I've run into those types, they tend to look like local and one thing that's clear is that they're all good at internal suppression, so whatever they're doing works.

But yeah, most of the GCC outsources their security services. Kuwait is a notable exception, presumably because of the Iraqi invasion. They seem to only take locals, and they have conscription. They have questionable training. I recall reading a news story about a cop being murdered during a traffic stop while his partner was hiding in their vehicles. Also, while not necessarily common, they have tribal cops in the national police they don't even trust to carry guns, and the department as a whole was only armed with maybe the last two decades. Probably because of the war idk. Kuwaitis are notoriously boisterous but soft. I recall witnessing a fight once that resembled shit we'd see in an elementary school in the US. I'm talking literal Naruto kicks.

Omani military officers have a good reputation and are sought after in the region. I've heard they often find work in Bahrain after service. Seeing the Omani security services in person, they seem well-equipped and competent. I think this trickles down from their work ethic in general. Omanis and Saudis are the only GCC citizens you'll see working regular jobs. An Omani checked me into my hotel when I visited and I found it so novel.

Bahrain is unique in that its security services being mostly foreign is a state priority. Their leadership is Sunni, but since a lot of their population (maybe a slight majority, I think) is Shia, they stack the security services in their favor. A lot of their military and cops are visibly Pakistani. They're armed and seem professional, and they have a track record of suppressing dissent well. One of the few ways to get Bahrani citizenship is to serve in the military for like 20+ years.

Qatar has a lot of foreignerPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Oh, and also GCC states tend to give their security services nice benefits. Like they often have military/police officer association clubs, hospitals, sports stuff, and the like sprinkled throughout their cities.

I mean ok, sure, it's not all about K/Ds but the right has fanatical soldiers willing to kill and to die, what do we have?

I do not care for who's destroying the west. All I care for is to see the west be destroyed.

>>802139
You're missing the point: this shows that the west as a construct is doomed precisely because of the ideologies that it fosters. The more successful the bourgeois are at indoctrinating the population, the gears will jam up.

Right wing extremist ideology is driven by personality flaws rather than being pushed by the bourgeoisie for the most part (Thiel etc excepted but they've got their own little freak circle), the bourgeoisie used to provide a backstop on how evil and dumb people could be in an age of mass media (at around Fox News level) but now the internet lets others offer something stronger and customers in the supermarket of ideology make their own choice.
Fundamentally they are dumb nasty people with dumb nasty instincts who vote for the biggest bastard possible. This is why globally the far right "nationalists" are a trump cult.

>>802156
>driven by personality flaws rather than being pushed by the bourgeoisie
And those personality flaws are the result of the environment (base and superstructure) those right wingers are in, which the bourgeois get to decide for them (at scale, individual choice exists but can only mitigate).

"Personality" is a euphemism for looks, mostly.

High openness is considered positive among all civilized people, but for inhibition depends on the context, can make you seem boring.

>>802134
Domestication and civilisation are not too dissimilar. The very fact you made this thread suggests you're high openness. That's good: of the two, openness is much more important than agreeableness. Sometimes it's necessary to be disagreeable (most successful business people and politicians are low agreeableness, though the latter particularly can control their power level and mask it.) but there are no redeeming traits to being low openness.

There are zero low openness communists. Low openness is synonymous with classcuckery. It is, definitionally, the inability to imagine or desire a better future.

The Deprogram fell off. Hakim had never been wrong ever before the China episode. Sad state of affairs. That being said, even this stereotype you paint usually despises Hasan, dude fell off even harder (though he was already a libshit to begin with). They also despise the ACP for obvious reasons.

Deng was Marxist. He shed blood fighting Japanese fascists in the Communist army. You will never do such a thing.
