The English were distinctly irreligious when compared to the rest of Europe with which they interacted. Where ‘active’ Christianity was practiced within the Empire, e.g. missionaries in Africa, it was viewed by most as at best a well-meaning eccentricity and at worst subversive.
Equally true for Europe, yet here it is discussed even less. The economics, politics, and social dynamics of the present are all downstream of specific decisions and events which took place in 2020. But it’s ‘boring’, and ‘obvious’, so we talk about anything else instead.
2020 was an important year in American history. COVID, Summer of Floyd, and the disputed election still affect the country and the "trauma" still animate its social tensions.
But unlike 9/11, people prefer to forget the whole year happened. It's been memory holed how the nation responded to George Floyd's death. Ron DeSantis tried to base his primary on relitigating COVID before figuring out even GOP primary voters don't want to revisit the topic. Libs have mostly stopped caring about J6.
One reason people don't want to revisit that year is that it makes most of us look bad. COVID hysteria and BLM support were widespread and inspired some of the most insane behavior in our nation's history. Much of the insanity came from ordinary citizens rather than the government.
While 2020 still shapes us who we are today, it's more comfortable for people to pretend it never happened.

People will (correctly) laugh at Scott Alexander for being too afraid of looking cringe to be a racist, but then still pretend to be religious after spending their teens digesting every argument for atheism because women and minorities would make fun of them otherwise.
Replying to @ArtemisConsort
The truly contemptible thing about Scott is that he's not exactly a coward. He's a conformist, and a very self-aware one. He has exceedingly clear understanding of how his own intelligence is getting overrode by the hivemind consensus, and I guess by now he embraces it.
It’s never too late to be honest. Don’t you remember what it felt like to watch Creationists Owned Compilation #3 on YouTube?
The best article I have read on trends in British culture since The Posh Turn.

Rape in the morning, rape in the evening, rape at supper time. When raping's on a bagel, you can have rapin' anytime
If true, those men would use the time and capital afforded by fake jobs to take risks, produce works, be energetic, yet in 95% of cases - about the same rate as any other form of welfare - the opposite is true, and they fall into a steady-paycheck-induced stupor for 50 years

One sentence summary: dead players running failing institutions often demand migration to preserve their obsolete models rather than reform, innovate, or be replaced by a superior alternative.
"Public-minded individuals and politicians should always oppose appeals to use migration to prop up some existing industry or institution." aporiamagazine.com/p/mortmai…
Tucker Carlson is now publicly and sadistically attacking the man responsible for giving him whatever ‘substance’ he once had, for seemingly no other reason than to cater to his increasingly schizophrenic audience.
This is a mendacious act by Tucker. Not only does he distort a descriptive quote to present me as pro-censorship, but he carefully and deliberately avoids showing the very next sentence of the article, which reveals the truth: That I am and have always been a free speech absolutist.
Tucker did not merely exaggerate or warp my view, he knowingly presented the exact opposite of reality. In a word, he lied.
Important part of this (good) article, although IMO just off the mark in that defining aspect of the female enforcers is not religiosity/conservatism but age, young men have behaviour policed by older women, young women unknowing victims left confused by male inaction
