Many so called “leaders” have never shot a single shot their entire life’s. And what’s equally important: they have never been shot at. They hardly had to handle a law suit, a company in distress or the press or the government coming after them. They are soft. They are weak. They aren’t used to stress, they aren’t used to consequences. They don’t know what fighting, loosing and winning mean. Contrast that to a leader who has taken on the entire establishment and won. The fools won’t stand a chance. #power #fight #streetsmart #tough #leaders

And a big beast came out of the sea.

Verstehe ich das richtig? In Deutschland verwalten ca. 60.000 Mitarbeiter ein Rentensystem das 0€ am Kapitalmarkt erwirtschaftet. Währenddessen in Norwegen rund 700 Mitarbeiter über 1,9 Billionen € investieren und 6-8% Rendite erzielen? Es ist absurd und lächerlich.

“I have always been of the opinion that unpopularity earned by doing what is right is not unpopularity at all, but glory.” “Ego semper ita sensi: invidiam, quae ob recte facta comparatur, non invidiam esse, sed gloriam.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero, Consul Rei Publicae Romanae

The British Isles are beginning to remember what every civilization eventually remembers: A government that cannot protect its people eventually loses the moral authority to govern them. Everything that follows is just the timetable.

you read Machiavelli and books like that to spot tricks when they're against you, not to practice them. Only incompetent, stupid people rely on such tactics. They may give a small, cheap satisfaction, but they fail with wise people. Wise people see through cunning instantly and are gone the moment they do. Competent people hate cunning as soon as they detect it. You can only fool fools, and fools are good for nothing but wasting time and feeding your ego. Wise people are immune to them, and so you're actually getting nothing out of tricks except seducing stupid useless people. Don't take such power tactics too seriously. They are children's playbook for adults.

Kipppunkte in der »Brandmauer«-Debatte: Im EU Parlament haben rechte und konservative Parteien heute eine Rückführungsverordnung verabschiedet, die schnellere Abschiebungen und Rückführungszentren vorsieht. Die gemeinsame Abstimmung gilt als historisch. Im EU-Parlament brandet Applaus auf, Abgeordnete erheben sich, dem EVP-Vorsitzenden Manfred Weber wird gratuliert, während um ihn herum »Send them back«-Sprechchöre ertönen. Diese Bilder könnten Weber (und die Union) noch länger beschäftigen.

Yeah, Trump is making a mockery of the White House. Biden Christmas 👇

Los estadounidenses son incapaces de mantenerse en un punto medio razonable.

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.

pick a degree you don’t want to cheat. choose a city you don't want to flee. work a job you don’t want to quit. marry a person you don’t want to change. live a life you don’t want to escape.

BREAKING NIUS: Hier ist das Video, das die CDU-AfD-Szene von gestern auflöst. Was es BEWEIST: 1. Die CDU hat in bester Merz-Tradition gelogen. Natürlich war es scherzende Kumpelei (was auch vollkommen normal sein sollte). 2. Siegmund und Heuer wirken so, als würden sie sich schon länger bestens verstehen. 3. Heuer macht sogar den Scherz, dass das kaputte Mikro das "Altparteienmikrofon" sei. 4. Was hier implodiert, ist die infame Merz-Behauptung, die AfD stehe "in der Tradition" des Holocaust. Seine eigene Partei glaubt es nicht. So würde man ja nicht mit den neuen Nazis umgehen. Beschafft hat das Video Kolja Barghoorn.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

People are unlikely to respect a leader if they believe the leader’s judgment is inferior to their own. In many fields, the ability to solve harder problems is one of the strongest signals of superior judgment.

Deutschlands politische Stimmung ist frühe Regierungszeit von Ludwig XVI.

Ich kann Julia Klöckner nicht sehen. In einem funktionierenden Land wären sie und Leute wie Bärbel Bas weder im Bundestag noch wären sie an der Spitze des Bundestages. Ein Problem ist, dass die echten Leistungsträger hier in Deutschland zu lange Politik Menschen überlassen haben, die mit den Jobs brutal überfordert sind.

Der Kanzler hat aber Recht…

Institutions are inefficient. Experts are overrated. Capital should flow toward builders. Technology compounds. Independent thinking wins.

My grandfather, a politician, never failed an election. He had a way of talking to pple as if they had been friends for a long time. I learned from him to do that systematically, particularly w/disfavored communities. But I've never repressed my urge to irritate arrogant fucks.

Men function on a raw meritocracy. The best hunter gets the spear, or everyone starves. Women function on coercive redistribution. They use force to make sure their younger and weaker children get food. This is why when women gain political power, you get socialism/communism.

The lesson we can all learn from Hunter Biden is that people forgive when you’re authentic. No one is telling him what to say, he’s just being unhinged and honest which has been refreshingly hilarious Instead of Hunter being the joke, he’s cracking them and taking back the narrative. The lesson here? Comedic relief fixes more than you realize, it allows people to empathize and forgive. Make a joke about your shortcomings, and you’ll move past them. People will most likely laugh with you instead of at you.
