" Liberals care more " huh

Well they are ones changing things , which requires necessary thrust of actions . They are deeply dissatisfied with status quo . They have a martyr feeling attached to it

Half of liberal women suffer from one mental disorder or the other ( Haidt ) . It fills their life with meaning

I think much of what Hanania writes in the book makes plenty of sense and wouldn't mind many of his solutions being implemented.

But I'm not optimistic. In the Hanania telling Affirmative Action is unpopular and all we have to do is make elites follow public opinion.

I'm not sure how unpopular it is. When you phrase Affirmative Action one way people hate it. But if you ask blacks if blacks should get more for being black, they are in favor. Hispanics want more for Hispanics. Even Asians want more for Asians.

I think it's inevitable that as we become a minority-majority society you're going to have some kind of racial spoils system. The Malays have it in Malaysia. The blacks have it in South Africa. They all end up that way. Hanania supports open borders, so that's how its going to go.
