Three hundred forty-three NYFD firefighters were killed in the line of duty on September 11, over a tenth of the total death toll from the attacks.

This is a massive L you fucking idiots What do you think happens when an entire generation of young men can’t find work? You think these badass girlboss women want to date them? Do you think they end up married homeowners? This👆exacerbates this👇

The most important thing to understand about race in the pre-Darwinian (that is, pre-materialist) sense is that there is an inherent duality in the word such that it has both a unity and a plurality within it. "Race" itself has an abundant historical etymology that predates modern biological or evolutionary frameworks. It appears to be present in European languages around the 15th century, originating from Old French rasse and Italian razza, often denoting lineage, descent, or a group sharing a common ancestor. For centuries "race" flexibly encompassed both unity—all humanity as a single collective derived from a shared progenitor—and plurality, where subgroups were defined by specific ancestral lines, ethnic affiliations, or kinship ties. Before the mid-19th century, and going back to medieval times, concepts like race could describe all of humanity (since we are all descendants of Adam) or it could describe subgroups: a race of Kings, or the race of Charlemagne (which referred to the descendants of the Franks). Historically in Christendom, it was also used to distinguish between the descendants of Ham, Japheth, and Shem. It was employed to simply describe "peoples" as branches of a larger tree, not separate origins. The Oxford English Dictionary emphasizes that the English use of the term arose around the late 15th century and, being pre-Darwin, referred to "groups of people connected by a common descent or origin." This implies, and even demands, a unity/plurality model of the term's use. In the Biblical/New Testament context, the thrust of the message is soteriological; that is, the Israelites (covenant descendants of Abraham or Jacob, depending on context) were no longer the set apart race, because God was drawing a new race of men who were to be descendants of Christ. In a covenantal sense, the old model was broken down and the (very real) national distinction between Jew and Gentile was gone. But it is an inappropriate and unbiblical sleight of hand to carry this covenantal model out and apply it to Civil Kingdom political dynamics. That's why Galatians specifies that Jew and Gentile (and male and female) are *one in Christ* rather than one in some universal--especially civic--sense. The entire world is not one in Christ; only the Church, Christ's bride, is one in Christ. While it is true that scientific development has allowed researchers to peer deep into the diverse clusters of biological components and categorize patterns (which interestingly map onto older divisions of lineage), strictly speaking, race as a concept precedes all this. It is not new. People have known there was commonality of ancestors, as well as dissimilarity. Race has been used for both. You can use race to distinguish between Asians and Caucasians, as America has done for centuries in census and statistics and immigration standards. Race in this sense speaks to differences of cultural, social norms, metaphysical instincts, political values, shared memories, institutional mores, and on and on.

This has to be far and away the most severe case of twink death the world ever witnessed

How can anyone take Sam Harris seriously? He’s the annoying whiny little Jewish kid in middle-school who wasn’t picked for any team—and complained to the teacher because of it. Now he’s a resentful, hysterical adult who cannot admit that he’s wrong.

Nope! F him and the rest of them!

Imagine being a 14th-century peasant and seeing this
