The removal of a two-page lesbian sex scene in Studio Proteus's localization of Ghost in the Shell was not well received, with readers reacting negatively to the removal of the previously uncensored content that was included in the original Dark Horse release. Toren Smith commented on Studio Proteus's actions claiming that requirement of the "Mature Readers Only" would translate into a 40% loss in sales and likely have caused the immediate cancellation of the series. Shirow, who grew tired of "taking flak" over the pages, opted to remove them and reworked the previous page as necessary.
The sequel volume Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface also featured pornographic scenes and an increase in nudity in the "Short-cut" version in Japan. No such scenes were included in any of the Western versions.

Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday makes for grim reading. 93,331 people in the US died from drug overdoses last year, up from 70,980. This increase of nearly 30% is the highest year-on-year increase in at least two decades, and the total number of deaths is the highest ever recorded in a 12-month period.
Opioids were responsible for nearly three-quarters of these deaths, with synthetic opioids responsible for nearly 57,000 deaths, or more than half. Last year, synthetic opioids killed just under 50,000 people.

Well, it should then be extremely easy for you to find me a couple of such US government reports. As I indicated, it wouldn't surprise me at all, and I'm curious about what the age-adjusted ratios would be.Replies: @Yak-15, @International Jew
“The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued report after report showing that Hispanics are wildly overrepresented in drunk driving accidents”
What does the “age-adjusted ratio” matter? Hundreds, if not thousands of Americans have been killed by hispanic immigrant drunk driving in the last decade alone. Who cares if the age-adjusted statistic is similar?
Those Americans who are dead now, would otherwise not be dead if the number of immigrant drunk drivers was zero. The number should be as close to zero as possible. Same with murders by Americans by hispanic immigrants. Zero.
Why is this concept so challenging to digest?
I imagine the age-adjusted rate for ethnic cleansing is the same for Europe as it is for the Middle East. How does that fact help dead Armenians?
Absolutely not! Indeed, the fact that rightwingers focus so heavily on people killed by Mexican drunk-drivers is pretty strong proof that despite their enormous effects they have had an exceptionally difficult time finding any actual white murder victims. I wouldn't be surprised if blacks kill lots of people in drunken or drugged-up crashes, but you never hear about those.
Shall we count people killed by drunk Mexican drivers?
Your use of statistics to prove your hispanic crime points is selective and disingenuous. Why focus on California and El Paso and not New Mexico and Chicago?
Not really. My statistical analysis over the years has been exhaustive, and in my considered opinion, fully conclusive. Here's my original article from a decade ago:

As others have pointed out, valedictorian at Princeton is not the same as “Top of Class.” It’s a substantially more subjective measure that surely took into account his being black.
They do not “game” the markets. That is very challenging because it’s illegal. They just figure out what will mostly likely happen in the next microsecond, based upon mathematic modeling. It’s not really befitting someone with so much potential – particularly a black who may be able to win a medal in mathematics.
Valedictorian of Princeton is black. Interesting. Also, not a bs “studies” guy, but a STEM. He is going to work at DE Shaw which is a very prestigious mathematics job but also completely worthless to most people.
Of course, this fellow had to talk about the legacy of slavery which clearly has made it impossible for blacks to do complex math, but whaddya whaddya?

This is because you haven’t thought this through. They won’t tax wealth and even if they did, wealth is simply a place holder on the labor of other people.
Things are not free – ultimately, people’s labor is what gives anything value. In essence, you’re taking the labor of others and giving it to people who are not laboring or are incapable of the quality of labor necessary to sustain a first world lifestyle over the long run. In substance, your pulling value away from those whose labor brings actual value and giving it to the valueless. At some point that shell game is ends.
Yes, the old parks are great and meant for the blue collar fan. Old Soldier Field sat 100k+ while the new one, with a city population that stands 2-3x larger, sits 60k. It’s housed in the same building but the new build out enables dozens more corporate boxes and many more, hyper-expensive sideline seats. On top of this they add special cub fees to tickets for the privilege of buying more expensive food/beers. This phenomenon is popping up everywhere and it’s all geared towards those with the infinity bottom line – corporate customers.
I surprised you have not mentioned the proliferation of corporate entertainment tax write-offs and the expense of going to a sporting event. Really, 4 tickets,

All 10 of the women described being blamed by their former partners for “causing” the children to assert transgender identities. Court officials in the cases were frequently unfamiliar with the concept, and some of the mothers lost custody.

If this were true, that variants of all genes exist for intelligence within every population, then this would apply to every other genetic structure that humans possess.

The reason why Ivies recruit athletes so heavily is because this enables them to select people with the rare combination of multiple, success-essential 2SD+ traits.
The prototypical Ivy League football player is 6’3”, runs a 4.8 40 yard dash, scores 1300 on his SAT with a 3.85 GPA, was runner up for prom king and barely escaped underage drinking tickets because his dad knew the chief of police.
These are the Green Berets of life outcomes – men whose combination of smarts, connections and charisma catapult them into the top echelons of law, business and politics. On top of this all, the best edge that athletes bring is competitiveness and by proxy, experience with high-level pressure.
Familiarity with competition magnifies all other traits and constitutes the secret sauce that makes Ivy athletes truly exceptional. Furthermore, these attributes become particularly stark when athletes are compared to the typically inaccessible, indecisive Ivy League over-thinker who does not have the drive to best competitors.
Clausewitz calls war politics by other means. In a democracy, he who wins the most votes wins the election.

I'm not familiar with this contention of Diamond's, but (notwithstanding Hannibal) wouldn't that be a point in favor the hereditary differences that Diamond labors to obviate elsewhere?
Diamond’s famous contention that there is something about the African elephant that made them impossible to use in warfare
Too true. And even farther down the corporate wealth scale I've encountered plenty of ambitious vice-president-types who can't shut up about various Diamond-esque themes. Diamondism is like the Masonic handshake of the Current Year.
Ever since, Diamond has been popular with tech billionaires and the like, who enjoy Diamond’s scientific arguments for the politically correct position they need to believe in for their own safety, far more interesting than the derisible Theory offered by postmodernist academics.
They are. By design.
Diamond identifies “a strong national identity” as a shared advantage possessed by both nations, with their unique languages and relative ethnic homogeneity. Diamond is impressed by the we’re-all-in-this-together patriotism of Finns and Japanese. As one of the last American intellectuals who can remember Pearl Harbor 78 years ago, he fears that contemporary Americans are losing the national solidarity of the mid–20th century.
This is the kind of simplistic thing that non-farmers say all the time. If glacier grinding were the key to fertile soil, Nunavut and the taiga would bloom, yet they don't. It could perhaps be argued that the glaciers scraped topsoil from northern latitudes down to middle latitudes, but real soil fertility depends on organic matter. The midwest and Great Plains had millennia of grasslands, large herd droppings, and perhaps Indian burnings to enrich the earth. (Nothing a few decades of mismanagement can't ruin though.) As for North America's tapering shape causing some "funnel" effect, I'm pretty sure nothing stops glaciers from falling off the sides into the ocean. In fact, I'm pretty sure that still happens in e.g. Greenland and Alaska.
Diamond pauses the political narratives to offer a Guns, Germs, and Steel-style explanation of why the soil of the Upper Midwest is so fertile:
Ice Age glaciers…repeatedly advanced and retreated over the landscape, grinding rocks and generating or exposing fresh soils. ...
Because of North America’s tapering wedge shape, large volumes of ice forming in the broad expanse at high latitudes were funneled into a narrow band and became heavier glaciers as they advanced toward the lower latitudes.
Diamond's presupposition to this grand theme may not be true. As I and others here have noted before, prior to the [anti]"civil rights" movement, pretty much every black social indicator—crime rates, drug use, family integrity, rate of material improvement, etc—was better than it was afterwards. The [anti]civil rights movement has been a disaster for everyone, black and white, except a few race hustlers and nation wreckers.

Can you elaborate upon these ideas with data and scientific analysis?
It may not be that straightforward:
This policy would shift the new arrivals from Mexicans and Filipinos who at least give 30% – 40% of the vote to Republicans to Indians and Chinese who give <20% of their vote, for a net loss of 10% – 20%. Instead of the stupid party it should be called the dumb as dog crap party.

Chinese Americans are indeed a voting group to watch since their support for the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, appeared to wane compared to President Barack Obama in 2012.
While Obama got 69 percent of their vote in 2012, Clinton took just 61 percent in 2016, according to the National Asian American Survey.
I tried googling Indian numbers, but kept getting Native American results. Then I tried with the word "Hindu" and had better luck:
Stanley Ng, an opponent of the administration's plan to end New York's test for Specialized High Schools, argued that the test fosters a meritocracy — which is why he likes that Chinese Americans are getting renewed attention from the GOP.
"They're saying the right things... and they're saying we should vote Republican," said Ng, who added that Chinese Americans are in turn "beginning to listen."
Asian Americans across the country have flexed conservative on matters of homelessness and immigration. Chinese Americans in particular helped defeat a measure to make Maryland a sanctuary state last year. Wong says all of this undermines the idea that communities of color stand in solidarity.
"Because when you have a non-white group that is taking more conservative positions and having real success then you're really threatening the traditional, longstanding civil rights coalition of people of color," said Wong.

According to data from the Washington Post, fewer than 7 percent of Hindus are likely to have voted for Trump. Only a slightly larger percentage of Hindus voted for Mitt Romney. Hindus strongly favor the Democratic party over the Republican party—more so than almost any other ethnic or religious group in the United States.
The Indians support liberals and liberal policies for the same reason some American white males do – they are often physically weak and unattractive. Their liberalism is born out of jealousy and feelings of inadequacy. They also tend to lump together with their co-ethnics.
This doesn’t have to be the case. I know an Indian who in HS wrestled and played football. Wants to crush the libs more than many others. But he is rare because the phenotype of strength is rare amongst Indians and this will remain true if it’s genetic. I imagine their military participation rate reflects this reality as well.
Hopefully I am wrong.
It would be clear they were making the test easier if all scores were rising. Especially amongst the dullards.
Regardless if this is true, they need to make the test much, much harder to separate the kids who would otherwise get perfect scores.
At this point, China doesn’t need to lift a finger against the west. It can just bide it’s time buying up farmland and mines in Africa while gently encouraging the flood into Western Europe and the US.
After 100 years, we will never be a threat again. In fact, I could foresee a situation in the future where China sends peace keepers to the US as a pretext to a larger invasion.
So long as we remain the world's largest nuclear power, we will always remain a threat. There should come a point where France, the UK and even the USA start to consider giving up their nukes like the South Africans did before they handed over power.

I am going to go out on a limb here and absorb some opprobrium. But, I would guess that number is severely underreported given the reality that many Latino immigrants work cash jobs and vastly underreport their income on taxes.
While this is a self-reported item on a voluntary survey, I could imagine they are told by friends to always underreport regardless of who is asking.
That said, even if the income were double, they would still be a massive tax/resource drain on our nation.

For three decades [i.e., since the 1970s] the United States has been descending into a feudal legal order.In the ancient feudal system, the differential rights in the legal system were class-based. In the new feudal order, rights are determined by race, gender, and handicapped status. In the old feudalism, the people with the most rights were descendants of warriors. In the new system, it is the victim who has superior rights.This difference aside, there are many similarities between the two feudal legal systems despite the many centuries that separate them.In the old feudal system, there were no First Amendment rights. The legally privileged were free to engage in hate speech and to verbally harass others, but any commoner who replied in kind could be sued or have his tongue cut out.

Of course it wasn’t a particularly violent time. It’s just that a whole bunch of Aryan barbarians came pouring in off the steppe and wound up with all the surviving women, fathering every single one of their children.
That was a lot of wasted thought on a misconceived, incorrect understanding. The idea is that battles occurred and native men were killed or driven off. The invaders then took the women. It’s not necessary for them to kill every single man. The battle survivors probably fled and re-establishes themselves elsewhere while the invaders settled down with the babes.
Indeed. Killing every single male child would be enough if the adult males fled.

You’ve stumbled onto an interesting idea. American aristocracy is being enshrined by foundation and charity law. A charity founder can direct that a family member must be at the head of the funds and be paid a handsome salary. This organization, existing in near perpetuity without taxes while throwing off sinecures to the scions, is essentially an aristocratic estate.
Sure, some of that money goes to good causes, but the vast majority goes to sustaining the organization and giving its employees great annuities and extravagant prerequisites.

Similarly, all starting cornerbacks in the NFL have been black since Jason Sehorn retired after the 2003 season. That’s two cornerbacks times 15 seasons times 32 teams, or 960 out of 960 data points.
That probably didn’t happen by luck.
This missive reads like someone who is very unfamiliar with the game of football.
All of the players’ measurable attributes are tabulated across multiple dimensions of speed, athleticism, strength, explosiveness, and agility.
These figures are all quantified and can be (and are) constructed into a matrix with height, leg length, arm length, weight, chest size, etc to create an athletic composite than can be tailored to each position. This score is used to judge whether a person has a good probability of being athletically capable of competing in the NFL. Those who do not pass this minimum composite for their position are almost never drafted and never play in the nfl. This is because they would not be able to compete.
Tens of thousands of athletes have taken these tests and the results exist in NFL repositories. Over the years, every manner of person who played football at some level aspires to play in the NFL and many spend thousands of hours dedicated to that goal.
The fact that zero white athletes have been a starting cornerback in the NFL for nearly 15 seasons can only be attributed to two causes: a vast conspiracy or complete athletic dominance by black athletes in that position group.
The fact of the matter is that if their were whites capable of playing that position in any number, they would be in the nfl.
The most dramatic argument against disparate impact and racism causing stubborn IQ differences is the profound commonality of these differences throughout the United States.

The fact that we see little difference in educational/etc outcomes is emblematic of the reality that the causes are likely genetic factors. In fact, it’s even more telling, as Sailer notes, that some of the most liberals cities on earth with the most aid for poor blacks (Madison, Palo Alto, Berkley, Evanston, etc), have the largest scoring/outcome gaps.

It's absurd as "contact theory" attempts to explain racism. If it were true, southerners would be the least racist people in America.
The most dramatic argument against disparate impact and racism causing stubborn IQ differences is the profound commonality of these differences throughout the United States. If racism was the cause, surely one would see differing levels of gaps (or the total lack of gaps) based upon the relative levels of racism. Some locations, clearly, are more “racist” than others while others lend more help to poor blacks.
It does in the sense that many other high end programs bring in Nigerians to fill quotas. I imagine that more than 2/3s Nigerian is a typical number for programs that aren’t Harvard/Stanford.
As an aside, these Nigerians tend to be of substantially higher quality than the African Americans within the same programs.
These talking points are great and are easily applicable to dissident right positions. My favorite debate with “nice white people” is how the coalition of minorities, once they gain enough power, will squelch fiscal programs that overwhelmingly favor legacy whites like social security, Medicare and pensions.
Once push comes to shove in the future era of fiscal reckoning, will minorities favor the limited funds going towards old racist white people or will they going towards educating (lol) and providing handouts to browns?
The certain, future government budget crises will see an odd coalition of fiscal conservatives and vibrants banding together to deconstruct social welfare programs that tend to distribute money to poor whites.
Why are these morons still having children if the situation is so dire?
I actually like this framing. It basically states that any and all imported peoples, despite their good qualities, are very capable of murder.
This concept sounds like it actually could be kind of funny. The downside is that a good portion blacks will take it to be the true telling of history.
Next, we will hear how a transexual latina was actually Plank’s inspiration for his theories of Wave-Particle Duality.
Punctuated equilibrium and gradualism are both likely parts of evolution. Population bottlenecks existed over a few dozens years and a few thousand years.
This is great news. I hope she is allowed to write as much anti-white rhetoric as she likes. It will only draw more readers to iSteve and the dissident right.
OT
Potentially the first acts of the next racial crisis in Chicago. Blacks are going to march in the white north side to shut down a main artery, Lake Shore Drive, during rush hour.
I fail to see how this accomplishes anything but pissing people off.

Liberals are complete cave-ins and cowards. They abase themselves to minority criminals. They are hazardous to your daughter's health if you send her to UMN. btw Kaler is a chemical engineer by training.Replies: @anon, @Yak-15
University President Eric Kaler agreed, although for some, the change in practice does not go far enough.
What would go far enough? I suspect that would involve “boys will be boys” punishments for black on white robbery, rape and murder, but I already have seen this personally when I was robbed. Perhaps they want you to apologize to your attacker after you’ve been beaten and assure them of their self-worth, greatness and intelligence.
The solution is to push leftism to the extreme in order to disaffect normal people and cause the pendulum to swing back even harder.
That’s becuase everyone knows it’s always a black.
As far as I can tell (having taken a quick look through the supplementary material PDF and spreadsheet) they scrupulously avoid mentioning the R^2 for their baseline model. I wonder what it is and how much variance is explained by each of the variables involved? Seems like a fairly fundamental question, and an odd omission given the supplementary PDF is 207 pages long.
We measure prediction accuracy by the ‘incremental R2’ statistic: the gain in the coefficient of determination (R2) when the score is added as a covariate to a regression of the phenotype on a set of baseline controls (sex, birth year, their interaction and 10 principal components of the genetic relatedness matrix).
Replies: @Yak-15, @hyperbola
In the prediction analysis, we included the same set of age and sex controls as the European ancestry analysis, and the first 10 principal components of the variance-covariance matrix of the genetic data of the African-ancestry sample. We found that the LDpred score predicts 1.6% (95% CI: 0.7% to 3.0%) of the variance in EduYears among African ancestry individuals. This represents 85% attenuation in the predictive power of the score compared to the incremental R2 of 10.6% in our European-ancestry sample from HRS.
Incremental “adjusted R-Sqd?”
Otherwise you are just adding noise.
That would cause amazing acts of confusion amongst the left.
Why is this boob talking about a movie that was released 12 years ago? How is it relevant?
The US would not have won so many world basketball tournaments without slavery.
Slavery was good.
Top comment. Well done.

How can anyone read these Obama passages and think “what a balanced, down-to-earth guy who can see beyond his own racial animus and help us realize racial healing?”
Who goes to Europe, or travels anywhere for that matter, and obsesses over the racial contributions of the civilization?
What a humorless, race-obsessed dork.
Mentioning that the modern leftists are people “who cannot do away with themselves fast enough” hits the nail on the head.
The most devout leftists are religiously convinced that their existence is an aberration before their Gods and their path to atonement and enlightenment runs through disposition and self-eradication. They must not only discard their economic position, but their homelands and their national identities in order to achieve progressive nirvana.
It’s fascinating, particularly because they are replacing themselves with tribal people who do not respect the sacrifice of the western progressives. These hermit crab people will never build a monument to the sacrifice of the leftists nor ever acknowledge their struggle. The modern leftist knows this and is fine with this reality. It is because she does not care about the future, only the present and only the strength of her emotions.
It truly is a death cult with no future. How do we hasten the culmination of their vision?
I agree that objective quantification is very useful and, yes, necessary. Sometimes they can disabuse people of wrongly held prejudices and false myths. But, it is not everything - it doesn’t, for example, capture well real world phenomena such as degradation of culture and loss of civics that have real, profound, and long-term consequences.Replies: @Yak-15
“Numbers” and “statistics” are useful metrics for gaining an understanding of the world around us. This is why the “government” gathers this information.
It’s also likely that statistics vastly undercount criminality amongst a population hesitant to report crime to police who also view crime through a very different cultural lens. I imagine petty larceny and trespassing is reported at 5% of occurrences.
I believe most are right
I nominate Maxine Waters.
The 7 yr is really great at a decent price. I like the 12 year better than the 18 but both are excellent as well.
Which 78 IQ nation do you live in? Which ones have you even visited?
More applicable, which 78 IQ parts of American cities have you visited/live in?
Worthless is not the argument, capable of sustaining a high standard of living is our supposition. This theory has yet to be disproven.
The hyper-elites understand that they are the ones in control and the threats come from the other, non-woke elites. If they attend to the right social mores while agitating leftist revolution, they can glide into absolute control for generations while their enemies are exiled. Pure power play on their end.
Look up the billionaire Pellas family in Nicaragua. They own Banco Central America, the Flor De Cana distillery and Tona Brewing. They skated the entire revolution in Nicaragua while still keeping all of their assets. It’s astounding. And they are SUPER white.
This family is excellent iSteve material. If I were to retire tomorrow I would write a book about them.
I hope to God that redistribution begins with the hipster whites. Please God, PLEASE!
