An actor tries to break the rules of propriety in a nation going K, and it does not go well:
A fight erupted in McDonald’s after a popular actor was accused of jumping the queue.
Federico Bal’s fellow customers were distinctly not lovin’ it when the popular performer seemed to ignore queuing protocol and demand special treatment due to his celebrity status.
A video shows a fight breaking out in the packed branch of the fast-food chain in Villa Carlos Paz in Cordoba, in central Argentina.
That would be Argentina, which is number two on Zerohedge’s 2016 list of nations by Misery Index:
Amusingly, the actor, who gets tons of money for almost nothing, saw nothing wrong with jumping the line. Meanwhile the proles, whose asses are dragging in a floundering economy, have amygdalae that are not about to tolerate such rule breaking.
Finally, we have noted here that the younger generation is going K, with reduced sexual promiscuity and increased conservatism compared with their predecessors. They too are under the pressure of increased Misery Index numbers:
Millennials who have just completed college believe that they are worse off now than they were before Barack Obama entered the White House, a new poll found on Tuesday.
Young America’s Foundation said that its annual Youth Misery Index found that millennials are saddled with more debt and have less job opportunities than they did eight years ago.
‘Over the course of Obama’s presidency, the YMI has spiked an alarming 29.9 points, an increase of 36 percent,’ the group said…
‘The youth unemployment rate is almost 15 percent and the average student in the class of 2016 graduated with a record $37,000 in student loan debt…’
The latest figures from 2017 – 113.4 – is up from a year ago, when it registered 109.9
When Obama took office in 2009, the figure was 83.5.
Being K isn’t a guarantee of voting Republican. Rabbits are very good at pitting K’s against K’s, and as you notice, there is a lot of racial in-grouping going on at the link. Leftists have sought mightily to also out-group conservatives as enemies of the young. But that doesn’t mean such young K’s are lost as opposition forever. Quite the contrary, they will instinctually oppose many of the disgust-related and loser-related aspects of liberalism. They want to ally with a winning group, and see morals, loyalty, fairness, and freedom from oppression by government emphasized as important issues.
All of r/K is cyclic, and this is the return of K in preparation of the Apocalypse.

A little off topic, from 2015….
Bjorn Hocke of the Alternative for Germany party.
“To Africans, he attributed what the biologists called the r-strategy. According to Höcke, Europeans followed the K strategy.”

A question do you think daughters should learn to shoot an AR-15 alongside sons? Somehow instinctively it does not sit right with me.
I would say it depends on whether you want your daughters to be able to defend themselves as much as you want your sons to be able to defend themselves.
Simple really. YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!
Now, my question for you…. what could possibly be wrong with teaching daughters to use weapons? any weapon?
As a woman, I can tell you that anyone who would say something like that to my face would be mocked mercilessly while I take them to the range and demonstrate my abilities on the weapon they thought I shouldn’t learn to use.
