Socialism is the high school group project. You do all the work, as your teammates wank off. Because you are responsible, you pull all-nighters to get it done, then they all get the same grade as you. Now multiply that by a billion and the teacher has a gun. That's socialism.
THEO VON: “Will you define socialism for us?” MAMDANI: “Socialism, to me, means that you will have WHATEVER YOU NEED to live a dignified life, and that it is the GOVERNMENT’S JOB to deliver on that.” I’ve heard a line like that before. It came from a famous book, and it was describing the highest stage of communism.

Never forget: “As for my teammates, I love you all… I am innocent. Reade Seligmann is innocent. Collin Finnerty is innocent. Every member of the Duke University lacrosse team is innocent. You have all been told some fantastic lies.” - David Evans, Duke lacrosse co-captain

Peak economic illiteracy: blaming capitalism for the ability to “close the door behind you,” as though a free market gives businesses the legal power to stop competitors from entering. If the door is actually closed, ask who has the power to close it, licenses, regulatory barriers, subsidies, exclusive privileges, or other state restrictions. And of course socialists will nod along, because nothing gets scrutinized less carefully than an argument that sounds like it’s flattering their worldview.
Bill Burr: “Capitalism is a great thing if it’s regulated and they started deregulating it in the early 80’s and that’s how we ended up where we’re at. This new way of doing business where you come up with something and you just close the door behind it, nobody else is making money in this sector of business except for me. It’s out of control. You can tell it’s a monopoly when they don’t give a fuck. It used to be where all you had was your reputation, quality of your product, and how you treated your customers. Live Nation are internally sending emails laughing about how much they’re fucking over people. Why would you guys be joking about that?”

There are 2 million black millionaires in the US. There are 122,000 millionaires in *all* of Africa combined. There are 16x more black millionaires in the US than all of Africa combined. That is underselling the point, roughly 60% of Africa’s millionaires are Arab or white.
Abdul El-Sayed: "If you're black in America, you've never actually had access to real capitalism." "We still exclude black folk in different ways from full participation in capitalism."

We all know how deeply Zohran Mamdani feels about white boys having sex with white girls at college. He voiced his seething resentment about passed over by white girls at college in a series of writings in the early 2010s. I'm sure the Cornell case is deeply personal for him.
The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor. I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come.  Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

Political opposition groups have weaponized the X algorithm to maliciously limit the reach of their opponents. Here’s how they manipulate the algorithm to do so: 1. Flood an account with a ton of new bot-controlled followers. In the case of @Babygravy9, they send 50k new followers to a guy who previous had about 250k. 2. Those 50k new followers represent one-sixth of the account’s followers. But when you account for dormant users that still inactively follow accounts, the 50k can very easily represent one-third to even one-half of the account’s active followers. It’s a material percentage. 3a. When you post on X, before the algorithm decides whether to boost your post and show it to a large audience (including “out-of-network” people who don’t follow your account), the algorithm first shows your post to a subset of your followers. If those “in-network” accounts engage positively (like, RT, QT, or—best of all—comment), the algorithm expands distribution, providing exponentially more impressions and giving the post the opportunity to go viral. 3b. On the other hand, if the subset of followers to whom the algorithm showed the post ignore it—or, even worse, if they engage negatively, by hitting the “show less” button or blocking the account entirely—the post’s distribution is quickly throttled. You can probably see where I’m going with this. 4. When our aforementioned bot accounts are shown the post from the target account, they mark it as content they are not interested in. Or they block the account (which is likely why REN mentions losing 100 or so followers per day after his follower count spiked). The algorithm then stops showing the post to *anyone*, since the initial sample group reacted negatively. 5. The target account’s posts gets no traction, they enter into a spiral of ever-decreasing engagement, and they eventually grow discouraged from having a fraction of the reach they used to have and just disengage entirely. It’s incredibly malicious. Diabolical, even. It neuters the reach of quality accounts, effectively censoring them, and it materially harms the ability of X to serve as the true digital town square. The only solution is for X to take a hands-on approach. If an account gains 10k+ followers in a day and there hasn’t been a viral post leading to the growth, they should have Grok review all the new followers and purge any that look like bots. Otherwise, this tactic is only going to become more common.
For many months something very odd has been happening to my account, culminating in my being totally rejected for the original creator program after being made to wait for over three weeks. I've long suspected someone at Twitter has their finger on the scale, and now I'm convinced. A couple of months ago I gained 50k followers overnight, unexpectedly. For the better part of a year, maybe longer, I'd barely gained any followers, even though my analytics told me I was gaining hundreds a day. After this recent explosion, every single day I've lost at least a hundred followers. We all know what effect this has: it tells the algorithm to hide you, and that's exactly what's been happening. Other accounts I've spoken to tell me they've seen similar things happen: a huge influx of followers, then a gradual falloff that effectively makes them invisible. So why is this happening? I've spoken to Premium Support and received no help whatsoever. Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter was supposed to guarantee freedom of speech, but in many ways, we've substituted an overt form of censorship that could be understood and accepted--a ban could come at any second--with a much more insidious form that also, in the case of the new rewards program, seems to allow great latitude for individual engineers to really mess with you if they don't like you. Of course we all know what should have been done to prevent the rampant scamming. @elonmusk

Your average Western welfare state now steals twice as much as literal Communist regimes 😬
France government by the numbers: €843 billion total spending This massive spending footprint represents approximately 57.2% of France's total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) The average French worker doesn't dream about building a business, they strive for a no work govt job.

To summarize, he wants everybody to be provided everything ("for free"). No surprise, the socialist's is a child's view of the world.
Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath. Housing, childcare, public transit. No one should be priced out of these things. These are non-negotiables, you need these to live”

Actual amount that SpaceX saved taxpayers is even higher now
The Washington Post famously claimed Elon Musk's companies received $38B from US governments. The truth? Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, SAVED the US Government (and taxpayers) an estimated $14B. I've covered that in detail in the upcoming article, but here's the graphic:

The AAUP is so embarrassing. UT-Austin approves a solid list of 50 great authors for a course on “Great Questions of Human Life,” and the local AAUP chapter says they are “disappointed and dismayed” because the list is “backward looking.”

It is infuriating realizing how much these mobsters cost us. If they died off and we got automated ports, we could be so much wealthier, so much more resilient, and so much less at risk of being held hostage by these evil men again.
Two years ago today this man told us "I will cripple you" (referring to the entire U.S. economy) if we didn't give his east coast port union workers what they wanted (60%+ wage increases and a pledge of no automation of our ports). It worked btw, he got all his demands.

Americans are richer than anyone else on the planet:
Theo Von: “Do you think the American Dream is still alive?” Zohran Mamdani: “It feels like you have to luck out in some big way. In many ways I feel like it’s why a lot of people play the lottery. For many it feels like their only chance. People think they have better odds playing the lottery than making it in their own life. What does that say about the country we live in?”

There are good Republicans and bad Republicans the number of Democrats who are fit to govern is precisely zero (0!).
The violence that occurred at Cornell in 2024 is horrific. As a dad raising two young boys, I want my sons to know right from wrong, to speak out when they see something, and always listen to victims and survivors. I hope Jane Doe in this case can find the healing and peace she deserves.
