Dear Europeans... Buck-ee's is just normal stuff to us. Yeah, sure, it's freakishly big, and has lots of cool stuff.

But "freakishly big and has lots of cool stuff" is also a pretty good way to describe America.

Why?

It's not because we're somehow genetically superior. We come from roughly the same genepool.

And it's not because we somehow looted the third world... you did a lot more empire-building than we ever did.

It's because of the difference between your politics and ours. And between your social mores and ours.

We have what we call a permissive environment.

That means that if someone sees a possibility, wants to solve a problem, comes up with a better way to do something, even something small...

He's encouraged to try.

The government won't make him fill out 67 thousand forms and make him wait five years for permission.

His neighbors won't sneer at him and say he's getting ideas above his station.

Investors will actually want to talk to him, and think seriously about whether they want in on the action.

We know this seems brash and arrogant and reckless to you. We know you think a lot of these ideas are stupid. Some of them are.

But every creative idea, even the best ones, seems really, really dumb when you first come up with it, haven't tried it out, haven't refined it into what it eventually needs to be.

"He shoots spiderwebs out of his hands? What kind of useless power is that?"

"They're wizards who fight with magic swords, but they fly around the galaxy in spaceships?"

"Nobody is going to want to buy books online! How are they supposed to thumb through them?"

"The best minds have been trying heavier-than-air flight for years and failing."

"Reusable rocket boosters are a pipe dream."

Name any good idea anyone has ever had, and I can describe it the way it might have looked to people of its time, which makes it sound dumb, or wicked, or hopeless, or reckless, or arrogant.

If Buck-ee's had occurred to a European, which it easily could have, he would have been laughed off the stage. Or unable to raise money to try it. Or regulated out of existence.

This is why you're poor.

It's not because you suck. You don't suck. But you are micromanaging yourselves and each other out of existence.

Your ancestors weren't like this. And you don't have to be.

Not an actual Bulgarian.

@KEdge23 @varrock Do you now 🤣

[BowTiedPolymath @BowTiedPolymath]

@wayotworld Albania can do that because they are still based and they don’t have huge swaths of woke orcs.

@AlluPatronia The modern witch girlies, pagans, wiccans and other miscellaneous occultists love to think they are above religion and especially Christianity.

But their world view is fundamentally Christian - they simply want to be the bad guy in the story.

[BowTiedPolymath @BowTiedPolymath]

@eugyppius1 Yeah, that same thing went on and on in Bulgaria since 2020 until in 2026 a new center-right party got over 50% of all seats in the parliament.

@JoshRaby Just having a massive hit on her resume was going to net her at least a stable career for life, assuming she still put effort in.

Instead she chose a public display of ingratitude, resentment and victim mentality. Such bridge burning is the ultimate self-sabotage.

@JWhitebread1 There is so much opportunity in this idea, you could make 5 different movies based on it.

[BowTiedPolymath @BowTiedPolymath]

@ashnichrist Yeah you make it out to be this huge thing and then give Hot ones, Blind date and Judge Judy as examples 🤣

Sorry to be mean but those are so not going to work that I laughed.

I agree that Mafia is a GREAT idea.

[BowTiedPolymath @BowTiedPolymath]

@Bitcoin_Teddy True but you need to incentivize businesses to superbe are create jobs.

@ian_dot_so A Skynet was never the biggest threat.

@BowTiedPhys mad way to put it into words, i like it

If you think this is low, wait for June 9th.

@torreydawley @Cernovich Hook me in.

@ChristianHeiens People think revolutions are led by the masses.

Even the most iconic one - The French Revolution, was merely the burgoise overthrowing the aristocracy.

[BowTiedPolymath @BowTiedPolymath]

@visegrad24 Honestly if they escalate A LOT it’s gonna be a hard couple of years in the UK and then they’ll have their country back like ripping a bandaid.

If they keep doing nothing, the demographic factor will swallow them whole.

@scolcer_ @civic_enjoyment Gaben makes the best case for a benevolent dictator led government.

@anon_opin This is anatomically true as sleeping on the right side is healthier and a man should be the big spoon.
