California already has a CDL waiting for her. All she has to do is enter the country illegally.

The people are not going to rise. They're never going to wake up. They will sit there and suffer endlessly as things continually get worse. They will accommodate themselves to whatever is inflicted upon them, so long as it's gradual and done by degrees. This is what Progressives have banked everything on. They genuinely believe they can remake mankind in their own image, as long as it's done in phases. They will take an issue on the extreme edge of the Overton Window and force it into the mainstream no matter how unpopular it may be, because they believe that a generation or two down the road, that contentious topic or issue will become the new normal. And they're at least partially right. Human nature can't be changed, no matter how they may try, but they can certainly normalize almost anything if given enough power, money, time, and above all else, institutional capture to take something deeply controversial or unpopular and enforce it with religious-like orthodoxy. Waiting for a people who have been conditioned their entire lives into accepting Progressivism as just a normal part of the modern political discourse to reject the entire ideology root and stem is like waiting for rural Afghan goat herders to reject the Taliban and embrace free market capitalism and liberal democracy. It's not going to happen. The people will never rise up on their own and overthrow a Progressive regime while living inside a world that's entirely built by that regime. But that doesn't mean the regime itself can't be overthrown at all. It just requires knowing what must be done, having the courage to do it, and obtaining the necessary political power to make it happen.

No one would ever believe that peak Woke in 2020/2021 was a real thing if it weren't for the fact that we have literally thousands of individual pieces of evidence confirming it.

Who is changing consumer habits?

The entire premise of Critical Theory is that by exposing “hidden power dynamics”, people would naturally wish to tear them down. But that only works if the audience already shares the moral premises of the Progressives who relentlessly use Critical Theory to tear things down and then construct an inverted hierarchy in place of the old one. So what happens when one side says “You’re so right. This hidden power dynamic is good and should be reinforced.” The story of the last few years has been us slowly finding out.

How do you think he became a trillionaire in the first place? He already did and I'm staring at it right now. Liberals apparently think Elon Musk is like the federal government and that he only made his money by forcibly confiscating it from others.

Because the immigrants are stealing billions of dollars in welfare fraud rings and stabbing random people on the streets.

Leftists want me to be more upset about what Elon does with his own money than what they intend to do with mine.

If we financially liquidated every welfare recipient in America and disenfranchised everyone with a hammer and sickle emoji in their username, we could pocket far more.

We're about to find out real quick whether I can successfully short the Treasury market for the second time in 4 years, or whether I've just lost 10 grand gambling on options like a WSB degenerate.

Oh, now I know you're all screwed.

Every political organizational structure inevitably chooses to promote something and exclude another thing. This isn't optional. If your organization doesn't stand for something, it doesn't exist. And as a result, any sort of argument that the rules can ever be neutral is a total lie. How can anything in life ever be neutral? Rules are written, interpreted, and enforced by organizational structures that have already decided to uphold one principle at the expense of another. And even if the people staffing those structures claimed to be neutral, they never are. How could they be? Claiming neutrality means you have to decide that something is biased, and that decision itself immediately drags you into the fray whether you want to be or not. In short, there is no such thing as a rule that benefits everyone equally while reflecting no one’s values or favoring any one group’s way of life.

I got to cross Lake Como by boat last summer. It was beautiful. But the thing that kept coming back to me over and over again during the trip was how it lacked a bajillion third worlders from Africa and the Middle East.
