"When you confuse politics for culture, you make both things retarded."

Passage Press founder @L0m3z says we have confused culture with politics and politics with culture:

"You don't have to worry about your politics being represented in [your] art. Because all the art's already doing all the heavy lifting for you."

"And I think, yeah, people are gonna use the art for political means down the road and that's fine."

"But the good artists I don't think needs to be thinking about that."

@mattepstein @drewfallon12 Launch

[Matt Epstein @mattepstein]

I’ve been dead silent about this.

54 days ago @drewfallon12 hit me up to launch his company.

We went to war.

-13 script rewrites
-456 comments on the edit
-2 all nighters

The result? There sales calendar is booked for months.

We’ve rinsed and repeated the same formula across 20 launches.

Each drives 100’s of demos and millions in value.

I created a 22 page document of my entire strategy so you can copy it.

I get paid $150k for this.

Rt and comment “launch” and I’ll send you the doc.

The Trump Doctrine, Venezuela, and the Reassertion of King Dollar.

The prevailing narrative in policy circles and on Wall Street is that the era of King Dollar is ending, that the petrodollar is in terminal decline, BRICS currency schemes are ascendant, and U.S. power is slowly being priced out of the system. That story is seductive, but wrong. The Trump Doctrine is not presiding over the funeral of the dollar; it is actively re‑engineering the foundations of dollar primacy, especially across energy and strategic commodities.

At the center of this recalibration sits Venezuela. With the United States now effectively positioned to shape Caracas’s oil policy, Washington has extended its reach over the world’s largest proven crude reserves. Control over Venezuela’s energy flows does not just add another barrel to global supply; it hard‑wires yet another major producer back into a dollar‑centric energy and sanctions regime. In parallel, U.S. influence over Venezuela’s gold reserves limits their use as a true monetary backstop for a rival, sanctions‑resistant system.

This is best understood as an attempt to refurbish, not retire, the petrodollar architecture first assembled in the 1970s. Henry Kissinger’s 1974 deal with Saudi Arabia, pricing oil in dollars and recycling surpluses into U.S. assets, created structural demand for USD and Treasuries as the balance sheet of world energy. The Venezuela play fits squarely inside that tradition. A petro‑state that had experimented with selling oil in yuan, euros, and rubles, and had worked with China to build alternative payment channels, is being pulled back inside a U.S.‑managed framework. The message is straightforward: there is still one clearing currency for hydrocarbons that matters, and it is issued in Washington, not in Beijing or Brasília.

For the BRICS de‑dollarization project, this is a significant setback. Venezuela was more than just another troubled petro‑economy; it was a symbol of resistance to the dollar order, openly challenging the greenback by settling oil in non‑dollar currencies and flirting with parallel financial infrastructure. Reasserting U.S. leverage over its oil and gold weakens the credibility of a future BRICS unit as a serious competitor to the dollar in energy trade. It underscores a pattern that runs from Moscow to Tehran to Caracas: the more a state tries to build a non‑dollar energy system, the more it finds itself in the crosshairs of sanctions, covert pressure, or outright regime change.

At the same time, the Trump team appears to recognize that the next monetary layer will sit on blockchain rails. That makes the doctrine structurally bullish for Bitcoin and dollar‑aligned digital assets: the objective is to keep King Dollar as the core unit of account and collateral, while allowing Bitcoin and other blockchain‑based instruments to emerge as parallel reserves and settlement media that operate alongside, rather than instead of, the dollar system

For investors, the implication is clear. King Dollar is not dead; the scramble for safe collateral, deep liquidity, and a unified sanctions‑capable currency ensures that the U.S. unit remains central to trade and finance for the foreseeable future. The Trump Doctrine should be read as a doctrine of managed monetary dominance: reinforcing dollar centrality in energy and commodities and turning high‑stakes geopolitical theaters like Venezuela into instruments for securing, not surrendering, the dollar’s empire of liquidity.

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

Buyers forgive AI’s flaws.

They want the trend, the edge, the upside.

They’ll tolerate a 70% solution from AI tools.

They expect SaaS to be flawless.

That’s a huge GTM dynamic shift most haven’t realized.
