It literally seems like he's just picking a mix of Republicans who are most notorious on social media and people who would make Putin the most happy, so you're not wrong but I don't think it's the actual criterion he's using.

And same for the boys. By saying such dumb things so publicly at such a young age, will they face repercussions from their peers and get inoculated against manoshere-type-misogyny? Or will those beliefs become more ingrained in them and become a core piece of their identity?

Honestly, it will probably do little or nothing. A lot of adolescent boys make a habit of saying whatever they think is shocking and will get a reaction, and kids that age in general try ideas on like they're changing clothes. It's just generally not going to "stick" in the way you think. Once the next shocking thing comes along they'll drop it and probably never think of it again until it's 2040 and they think back about what idiots they were as kids.

Although in the era of social media, they may never get the chance to do so.

I think nowadays they just use Facebook groups to shame men they don't like. Are We Dating the Same Guy is the usual name for them.

...and they did this because they'd agreed not to do superdelegates in 2020 which meant they couldn't use the same levers they'd been wielding in 2016 and before to put a thumb on the scale.

Was there a single state, where the popular vote was for Bernie but the super delegates swept in and gave it Hillary instead?

Mine. West Virginia. Hillary got 35% of the primary vote while Bernie only got 51% and therefore she got one more delegate than Bernie. She literally only ever needed 30% of the primary vote in any state because of superdelegates.

We had a local candidate who only ran in WV, whose whole purpose for running was to try to draw national attention to economically gutted regions of the state caused by the so-called war on coal who got 9% of the vote, and even he managed to outperform Hillary in one county (taking second, because Bernie won every county in WV) - when you're behind a protest candidate anywhere, you done fucked up.

Keep in mind, reasonable force might include running away.

Depends on the state. If you're in a Stand Your Ground state, there's no duty to flee. If you aren't, then you probably have a duty to flee an attacker if possible, unless this is at your house, they have entered your home illegally and refuse to leave.

ghee or clarified butter, both of which

I thought ghee was clarified butter?

ou can also get packs that include oil, kernels, salt, and butter powder that come out like theater popcorn and taste great (included some in the link above).

Mmmm, bronchiolitis obliterans. Being serious, the common name for the disease is "popcorn lung" because it was first identified in a microwave popcorn plant and it's caused by inhaling certain chemicals often used in flavored popcorn.

They are presumably not going to ask "do you think Your Body, My Choice is a threat of violence" during questioning. If they ask whether or not any verbal threat could possibly rise to that level, then "yes" obviously. "I'm going to enjoy beating you until you stop breathing" is clearly an immediate threat to one's life and health, for example.

Universal basic income (like a bigger one than you are probably thinking), universal healthcare, eliminate most other welfare programs (UBI filling that role in place of things like SNAP and TANF, the remaining ones should be narrowly targeted and temporary - think WIC), institute a maximum wage (highest compensated person in a company can make no more than X% of the least compensated and Y% of the median compensated employee - makes it so that for executives to get a raise that rising tide has to lift every boat).

So, we have a group of men looking at the state of the world (and in particular law/society on gender issues) and deciding they are just going to opt out of the whole relationships/marriage/children thing and swear off women. Is there any world in which that would not be described as misogynistic by default? The swearing off itself is seen as misogyny before you go even a step further.

But this proves my point - that it's women swearing off men rather than the reverse causes it to be viewed more positively.

Am I missing something or is 4B essentially MGTOW for women?

Just viewed through a more positive lens specifically because it's women.
