themes of "rating systems" and "endorsements" to "help the new guys think correctly"

The points are not awarded for correct answers. The points are awarded for good insight into what is being discussed.

It's every individual's own responsibility to filter information - to take what they think is valuable, and to discard what they think is retarded.

That assumes competence on the part of the reader. Most guys who ask question on askTRP aren't competent, they are barely unplugged newbies asking how to get their ex back. This is compounded by the issue that some of the people who write replies aren't competent either. Hence a system is needed to point out people who are more likely to be competent than not.

I'm generally of the diplomatic persuasion, I quite enjoy reading the writings of people who are not

Nobody is stopping anyone from doing so.

Between 1880-1930, Italian immigration to Argentina was the largest migratory movement, with around two million Italian immigrants. It was estimated that at least 25 million Argentines (62.5% of the country's population) have some degree of Italian ancestry.

Two things to consider:

"The Colosseum is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, despite its age. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian (r. 69–79 AD) in 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus (r. 79–81)... Construction was funded by the opulent spoils taken from the Jewish Temple after the First Jewish–Roman War in 70 AD led to the Siege of Jerusalem. According to a reconstructed inscription found on the site, "the emperor Vespasian ordered this new amphitheatre to be erected from his general's share of the booty." It is often assumed that Jewish prisoners of war were brought back to Rome and contributed to the massive workforce needed for the construction of the amphitheatre, but there is no ancient evidence for that; it would, nonetheless, be commensurate with Roman practice to add humiliation to the defeated population."

"Josephus wrote that 1.1 million people, the majority of them Jewish, were killed during the siege – a death toll he attributes to the celebration of Passover. Josephus goes on to report that after the Romans killed the armed and elderly people, 97,000 were enslaved. Josephus records that many people were sold into slavery, and that of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 40,000 individuals survived, and the emperor let them to go wherever they chose. Before and during the siege, according to Josephus' account, there were multiple waves of desertions from the city... It has also been noted that the revolt had not deterred pilgrims from visiting Jerusalem, and a large number became trapped in the city and perished during the siege. Many of the people of the surrounding area are also thought to have been driven from the land or enslaved."

...nationality ≠ ethnicity.

What I find interesting is that people keep forgetting that Latin-America during the Spanish colonial period had a very large and economically mobile Jewish population which held lengthy ties to both the global slave trade and piracy, so it should not surprise anyone later when it's publicly revealed that Javier Milei's not just a Catholic Apostate with ethnically Jewish ancestry, but that he's the cousin of Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Make of that what you will.

Don't know if you're making a satirical prediction or actually mean it.

And as you ride down a winding California road to the late Cass Elliot's song "Make Your Own Kind Of Music" blasting on the stereo, with a grimance on your face you notice the retarded goofy grin on Carnold's face as he's taken you down the rabbit hole.

They're all actors, it's a small club, and you're not a member.

Look up Netanyahu's late grand-father, Zionist Rabbi Nathan Mileikowsky. During the 1800's, the Czarist Russian empire ramped up Russification in Belarus, which was the home of Netanyahu's family at the time when they went by the family name Mileikowsky. A lot of Jewish families relocated from eastern Europe to avoid being integrated into Russian society. Many resettling in Latin-America, among other places. It would be nothing for relatives of his great-grand father to Latin-ize their names, by simply dropping -kowsky, and dipping their toe in Catholicism here and there to gain access to the superior Catholic schools.
