Whenever I would say to my mother that the 50s were better than the present she, who was in her twenties in the 50s, would angrily school me that women couldnβt have a credit card, mortage or work in the professions, black people were living under Jim Crow and everyone was poor.

Did people actually have it better in the 1950s?
In my latest for @WSJFreeEx, I debunk some common nostalgic myths.

I love that the Missouri GOP is posting this crash out because the people have figured out a way of direct democracy that has consistently sidestepped their tyrany to keep Missouri remotely livable.
Look at the policies! This is how we have to organize in Missouri. Put shit to a popular vote through petition process, it passes, the state GOP panics to abuse state law to invalidate it.
MISSOURI, THIS IS WHAT WE WARNED YOU ABOUT.
We warned that Amendment 6 would make sweeping changes to Missouriβs Constitution and laws harder to reverse. Now, just days after its passage, 10 new initiative petitions targeting the 2028 election have been submitted to the Secretary of State.
And whatβs being proposed should concern every Missourian.
Hereβs a breakdown of what these proposals would do:
π©001 β Redefining Marriage & Gender Rights: Removes Missouriβs constitutional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, establishes constitutional protections for gender identity and sexual orientation, and allows minors to seek trans surgery, therapy, or counseling with parental or guardian consent.
π©002 β Proxy Voting in the Legislature: Allows citizens to assign their legislative votes to individual lawmakers, giving some legislators potentially thousands of votes while others have far fewer. This would fundamentally change how representation works in the General Assembly.
π©003 β Overhauling Missouriβs Legislature: Repeals multiple constitutional provisions, eliminates legislative primaries, introduces statewide elections for legislators, and radically restructures how representation works in Missouri.
π©004 β Electronic Initiative Petition Signatures: Allows initiative petitions to be signed electronically rather than requiring traditional paper signatures, raising serious questions about verification, security, and FRAUD.
π©005 β Stripping the Governorβs Authority: Takes away the Governorβs independent power to issue pardons, commutations, and reprieves, and replaces the line-item veto with recommendations subject to legislative approval.
π©006 β Ranked-Choice Voting: Introduces ranked-choice voting in Missouri elections with more than two candidates for a single office, replacing our traditional voting system with multiple rounds of vote counting and candidate elimination.
π©007 β Eliminating Primary Elections: Abolishes primaries for congressional and state legislative races and moves to statewide elections using party lists, stripping voters of their traditional ability to choose their partyβs nominees.
π©008 β Government-Run Healthcare: Creates a state-administered healthcare cooperative funded through income-based membership payments, dramatically expanding governmentβs involvement in healthcare.
π©009 β New Taxes for Green Energy: Imposes a new tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to fund a government-administered renewable energy program.
π©010 β Government-Built Housing: Establishes a state-run housing program financed through government bonds, offering homes at cost with no down payment and no interest over 30β40 years.
Make no mistake: These arenβt minor policy adjustments. These proposals would fundamentally reshape Missouriβs government, elections, and economy.
We warned about the consequences of Amendment 6, and now weβre seeing exactly why those warnings mattered.
Missouriβs Constitution is not a playground for radical political experiments. The fight to protect our state and our representative form of government is far from over. πΊπΈ

Notice how the green countries aren't shitholes, unlike red?
Would you let your son or daughter marry a Black person?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The image is a fabricated meme and does not represent results from any real poll or survey. Eurobarometer data on similar questions shows different figures, such as ~64-68% EU average comfortable with a child in a relationship with a Black person.

All religions are bullshit. That includes indigenous religions. Because the supernatural does not exist.

This is not the woke take you think it is, you have a noble-savage view of βindigenous religions and spiritualityβ
Religion is religion, does not matter if the people worshipping it are oppressed, itβs still incredibly reactionary and we are opposed to it

Marxβs description of religion as the βopium of the peopleβ was not an endorsement of religion as a source of comfort. He understood it as an illusory relief for real suffering, which can only be overcome by transforming the material conditions that produce it.

Property value assessors agree the raw underlying land is the first and easier part to value with nearby comps, while the improvements on top are more difficult and arbitrary. Real estate's three words are location, location, location. Here's a good piece: blog.landeconomics.org/p/valβ¦
