The problem with universal suffrage is that the more technologically advanced a civilization becomes, the smaller the fraction of people there are in it with the native intelligence to understand how it works. When the majority of humanity was employed in whacking at the dirt with a pointed stick, and the height of technology was a slightly better pointed stick, anyone with a triple digit IQ could understand what was going on. Now, we have things like stock markets, the internet, transportation infrastructure, and the Linux kernel, but most people who vote are unable to conceive of these as anything but large piles of chocolate coins, or something else they can put their mouths. Because that's how the average monkey interacts with money. They stack the blocks, the research assistant gives them a token, they exchange the token for a banana. It's no good trying to explain to the monkeys what supply chain is, or how a trillion dollars worth of rockets can't magically be converted into a trillion dollars worth of bananas just because they're both measured in dollars, as if a six-foot man and a six-foot plank of wood were interchangeable. Finding a slightly different explanation, or getting the monkeys to sit still and really listen, doesn't really help. Because the problem isn't just that the monkeys aren't paying attention. The problem is that the monkeys are monkeys. Their brains simply don't have the developmental capacity to grow the neural connections they would need in order to grasp and manipulate the concept. In the long term, this is why universal democracy is doomed. Because societies that let retards vote will fail, and be replaced by those that don't. You may think that we, as a society, face a great variety of problems. We do not. We have only one. Retards. Every other problem we have is downstream from their inability to understand the consequences of their political opinions. But to fully grasp the implications of this, you have to understand that the definition of "retard" changes over time, as technology advances, because the IQ level required to grasp what's really going on gets steadily higher and higher. Eventually, the category "retard" grows until it includes the average person. This has already happened. Nick Knudsen isn't dumber than the average guy. But the average guy, the 100 IQ salt of the earth guy that's sitting on the next bar stool over, can no longer understand the modern economy. And this isn't correctable, because the problem isn't ignorance, it's complexity. You can't make Nick Knudsen smarter by telling him things. You can't even make him less ignorant, because the bare facts aren't believable to someone who doesn't have the framework to understand how they fit together. The people who understand what's going on are so much smarter than him that he doesn't even think they sound smart. He thinks they sound crazy.

Society collectively needs to stop making excuses for awful behaviour. There are BILLIONS of people around the world who grew up in suboptimal conditions and they don't use it as an excuse to be a criminal or degenerate. Tolerance of evil isn't a virtue.

The most dangerous force on Earth is Western civilization when it remembers that cathedrals and cannons were built by the same people.

Rascal has been on the trail as of late. He radioed in just now that he recently broke the tree line only to find that infamous nature photographer and debonair man of adventure @actionxander ! Rascal gave a few pointers and wished him good luck finding those last three elusive Floridian quarry! I am sure we can expect to see those three captured in frame before the adventure ends. We would love to see your favorite @actionxander photos pasted in the comments or used in your QUOTE POSTS, he does amazing work and is exuding that adventurous American spirit we need to resurrect and maintain so badly. Rascal did say he has made great use in the field with his Ruger American Gen2 Scout rifle! Thus it has been chosen for this weeks win! We are ever grateful for @SummRidge continued support! Thank you guys!!! TO ENTER this week's fun, FOLLOW US & @SummRidge , REPOST and or QUOTE POST this post, and REPLY to this post. GOOD LUCK GODSPEED KEEP GOING

Rascal’s been on the road, and this week he’s found a patriot who knows exactly what kind of American she is. Last week we asked, “What kind of American are you?” This week, Harvey’s Famous Weekly Giveaway proudly spotlights @Lily4Liberty . She survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution in communist China and now travels America warning about the dangers of communism and tyranny while championing our God‑given freedoms. Now she is running in the Live Free Or Die state to represent these liberties and the traditional American heritage in congress! Given Lily's experience with communism and tyrannical governments, she’s vowed never again to live under a government that fears armed citizens more than criminals, and she has built her campaign around an unapologetic defense of the right to keep and bear arms. She supports national constitutional carry and rolling back federal gun-control laws that target law‑abiding gun owners. Rascal was inspired and decided on a liberty & New Hampshire themed giveaway. He wants to arm YET ANOTHER freedom loving and freedom defending American while also bringing attention to the campaign of the fellow freedom lover. So this weeks firearm is a New Hampshire made Sig Sauer Tread Coil V2 rifle with optic in 5.56! We celebrate the kind of American who knows that “Live Free or Die” isn’t a mere slogan, it’s a warning for would‑be tyrants, foreign or domestic. Thank you AGAIN for the support of @SummRidge who helps make these giveaways possible. TO ENTER please FOLLOW us and @SummRidge , REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY to this post. PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING TO LILY'S CAMPAIGN. She is true defender of the 2nd amendment and her campaign is very grassroots. See link below. GOOD LUCK & GODSPEED!

I am once again telling you: we aren't going crazy as a society. We're being driven crazy as a society. On purpose. By people with agendas and a lot of money.

It is getting kinda late for the giveaway so I went and found @TheRascallion and asked him what the hold up was. He had L's account pulled up and started goin' on about, "What even IS a real American, anyway?!" A few minutes later he was walking around in BDUs and wearing red shades...🤷‍♂️ Anywho, Rascal did finally tell me to just hand out a few decent reliable 9mm handguns so we could arm more people this week. In the mean time y'all better have a good answer for when he asks, "What kind of American are you?" Thanks again to @SummRidge for helping us out by sponsoring this week's giveaway, AGAIN! A thank you to @Stoeger_USA as well! This week we will be choosing 4, count them, 4 winners! Each will recieve a Stoeger STR-9MC 9mm handgun! TO ENTER, FOLLOW us and @SummRidge , REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY TO THIS POST! Good luck to all y'all and have a great week!

Our friend, @TheRascallion , was so pleased when that beloved big horn sheep decided to take a short leave from @BrownellsInc in Iowa and come have some porch time here in Appalachia! They got to jawin', of course, as big horn sheep and rascally raccoons are want to do, and began waxing about how much fun the old standbys can be. The trusty side by side and the sweet .38 special are hard to beat. Maybe it was the mellifluous tones of a friend or maybe it was that sweet mountain dew but Rascal figured we would bless y'all a little extra this week and and give TWO of you ne'er-do-wells a shot at winning! Our friends over @SummRidge have pitched in yet again so make sure to put a little extra sugar in their tea this week! For Harvey's Famous Weekly GIVEAWAY this week you have a Stoeger Coach gun in 12ga and a Heritage Roscoe .38special! THERE WILL BE TWO SEPERATE WINNERS DRAWN THIS WEEK! To enter you must FOLLOW us and @SummRidge , REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY! I wish you all good luck and thank you ever so much for helping us spread the word of HARVEY'S PISTOL & PAWN!

The Framers never meant for “politician” to be a profession. 250 years later, we should listen to them. Americans would do well to back away and retrain their senses to what should be normal and healthy vs what is not. It was inconceivable to people like Washington that someone would spend a human life in the cesspool that is that arena. A political life is one of the lowest forms of the human condition. A battlefield, meant to be fought over, survived, and won. But how much victory is enough? Or worse, how much defeat is enough? Before it dulls the senses and corrupts the soul. Until the very people whose eyes you once gazed into begin seeming like demons. For some reason we remain intrigued by power. But we would all do well to remember that a politician with 20, 30, 40, 50 years of “service” should not be seen as honorable. It should be seen for exactly what it is. And exactly how the Founding Fathers would have seen it: An abomination.

A 4-day school week for students could be a win for EVERYONE. TEACHERS could finally use the 5th day to catch up on their insane workload. STUDENTS could participate in off-campus activities, jobs, appointments, or extracurriculars without living minute-to-minute every day. And before people object because they view schools as daycares, families would adjust…just like they do for summer break, holidays, snow days, and teacher workdays.

Alrighty kids, here it is! This is our second STB® month Giveaway. Up for grabs is: NAR IPOK IWB CAT 7 clip courtesy of @AuxArcStuff TacMed Solutions OD ball cap OD SOF tourniquet TacMed Solutions trauma dressing Paracord bracelet Training/practice tourniquet Feel free to ask any questions Special thanks to @AuxArcStuff I saw a file he dropped for the IWB carrier and I messaged him and asked if he would be interested in helping the giveaway. He completely knocked it out by printing off a handful of them and sent them to me. Back to the rules. Follow, like, repost, quote to help the GAW Comment to enter to win. I will announce the winner in one week and they have 72 hours to make contact or I pick a new winner. Let's get some cool stuff in someone's hands.

🔥WOW. MUST SEE - THIS IS SAVAGE🔥 Congressman Chip Roy is ON ABSOLUTE FIRE - and the Left just got torched. Never in American history has this nation had a political leader as fiercely versed, unflinching, and courageous on the Islamic threats facing the West as @chiproytx. He is the boldest leader I have ever seen. Watch how the left-wing operative he was questioning squirmed and claimed total ignorance about the Pakistani rape gangs waging jihad on little girls across the UK. Chip Roy wasn’t having it - he held her feet to the fire and refused to let her dodge the truth. Not only is he protecting Texas schools from Muslim Brotherhood infiltration and amplifying the powerful voice of brave 16-year-old Marco Hunter Lopez… He’s also standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the victims of these barbaric Pakistani Islamic rape gangs in Britain - and sounding the alarm that it’s already happening right here in America. Chip Roy is a national treasure. America needs more leaders like him. Period.

I can see why @TheRascallion was so excited to get this week's giveaway announcement posted! In line with the current administration's policy of transparency, and the release of the "UFO" and "UAP" files, Rascal gave me a few vague pointers of where to look and that I might find something interesting. While he will not elaborate on the details I do have, in my possession, this very fascinating old file photograph of Rascal standing with the venerable @BlastingThrough . Rascal will not say whether this has anything to do with aliens of the extra-terrestrial variety or what it is doing mixed in with all these other seemingly unrelated files. All I can pry out of him is that he was carrying a sweet Belgium Browning Hi Power 9mm pistol and that "she never failed him back in those wild days when I was running with Mad Mike." So there ya have it folks. This week's Harvey's Famous Weekly Giveaway is the very same pistol! We also want to highlight @SummRidge who has been helping to sponsor these giveaways and continues to do so on this one! TO ENTER, FOLLOW us and @SummRidge , REPOST and or QUOTE POST, and REPLY TO THIS POST! We will announce the winner this coming Monday as always! We appreciate you all and GOOD LUCK!

Tax the billionaires??? Wait…

Y'all insist on portraying us as horrible monsters. Be careful; you may well get your wish. Your problem is that you cannot possibly fathom the monstrosities we can become. As your dad should have told you much more often: "Stop crying before I give you something to cry about."

We have a whole gun store packed full of guns. No clue why @TheRascallion can't just scurry to the back and pick something out, oh no, Rascal has to traverse time and dimensions and risk tail and hide for the guns he brings you good folk. The story Rascal was spinnin' is so wild that I only half listened. Something about portals and time jumps, or was it dimension jumps, heck I dunno. Regardless. Rascal was talking to the fine folks over at @SummRidge and the two started debating 1911s and how they won 11 World Wars and what not and next thing we know he's conjured up a situation with @washghost1 George Washington's Ghost. The way Rascal tells it he asked the old patriot what his favorite gun was. George says, "That is a heavy question indeed. I will refrain from painting myself into a corner. That said, this will do most anything you need, and besides, it's God's favorite" And that, Rascal swears, is how he came into this weeks giveaway. For HARVEY'S FAMOUS WEEKLY GIVEAWAY this week we the Classic @thecoltfirearms Series 70 1911 chambered in the venerable .45ACP! TO ENTER, you must be following us as well as our giveaway sponsor, @SummRidge , REPOST and or QUOTE POST, and REPLY! We appreciate you all spreading the good word of our sales, promotions, wisdom, and wit! Good Luck Godspeed and have a great week!
