happy birthday america.

the greatest place ever invented.

i’ll spare the cliche immigrant story or whatever but one thing i think about a lot is when i moved to london ppl would basically always tell me to tone it down (cuz i used words like awesome all the time) or ppl told me i was too optimistic or that would always be enthusiastic about something working. i had hard time doing this cuz i never learned any of this behavior, it was sorta just built into me. i found that to be strange & it took me a long time to realize they they were correcting all of my priors instead of simply correcting my vocab.

that’s kinda the thing that is hard to explain until you leave. what makes this place so damn unique is ppl here are unusually willing to have an absurd dream & then attempt to make it real. it’s the greatest concentration of individuals on the planet who actually try to make stuff *real*. that instinct feels almost pre programmed into americans. “why not me?” is prolly the macro that separates this country from anywhere else.

ppl love comparing here to other places using metrics like healthcare, trains, safety, etc. those things matter. but they are the outputs not inputs. the inputs matter way more. kinda like sports leagues trying to create the next generation of stars by investing in little league. the macro inputs of america are the belief that the future is not something that happens to you, but something you are allowed to build or change.

& here, far more than anywhere else on earth requires almost zero permission to attempt it all.. without asking for any sort of cultural consent. that’s why all of the shit you see around the world is basically invented in america.

what an astonishingly ridiculous beautiful country.

[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

The optics are incredible: a trust fund baby failed musician who embraces a political philosophy that has killed hundreds of millions of people lecturing the greatest country in the history of the world, FROM ITS FOUNDER’S DESK, on what it could be.

They hate us.

@elonmusk @Kristof_Poland This movie should be required watching in all Western Schools

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

1. Idiocracy is not a film about television and fast food. It is a film about negative selection – what happens when a system, over enough time, consistently rewards stupidity and punishes thought. The mechanism requires no malice. It requires only that compliance be more comfortable than intelligence, and that comfort be the only value on offer.

2. Communism ran this experiment at gunpoint, in real time. The intelligent were the first problem – they noticed things, named things, remembered things. So they were removed. What remained was a civilization that had learned, across generations, that thinking loudly was dangerous and thinking quietly was exhausting. So it stopped.

3. The system then promoted accordingly. Loyalty over competence. Conformity over creativity. The reliable mediocrity over the brilliant deviation. This is not a side effect. It is the intended output. A society of obedient workers — remember Boxer from Animal Farm? — but without the sincerity – compliant units who had forgotten there was ever another option.

4. Brawndo has electrolytes. The sentence is repeated with increasing confidence as counter-evidence accumulates. This is not just stupidity – it is also the mature form of zakłamanie. The slogan replaces the argument because the argument was never the point.

5. The West is running the same experiment, more slowly, through screens, through the managed demolition of educational standards, through the replacement of argument with slogan and merit with grievance. Communism first used a gun. The new version uses an algorithm and a feelings-first curriculum.

6. The destination is identical. The Idiocracy is not a warning about the future. In some places it is already the second five-year plan.

@farzyness The thing I love about all these names are that the incumbents are all so bulky.

@DavidMc71590985 @MichaelAArouet Our politicians sold off everyone’s future for cheap labor

@brentonhcooper @MonocleMan1 Watch it in real time and there is absolutely zero intent

[Brent Cooper @brentonhcooper]

There have been a couple of times this World Cup where I’ve thought I should watch soccer more.

This resulting in a 30-minute power play and Balogun’s ejection in the next (elimination) game made me remember why I don’t watch this sport.

[JeebusChripes @JackD___]

@joshhart This is what makes me hate soccer. Such a ridiculously stupid obviously wrong call can have an outsized impact on a game

If you believe a child born to a foreign mother flying over US airspace is an automatic American then you do not believe in citizenship.

Want some truth?

Europe is a few years ahead of what the Left wants to do to America.

Take over with 3rd world and forced censorship.

Trump securing our border and Elon buying X gave us a chance.

Mass deportations and securing elections can save America long term.

Simple.

@KatieMiller @hecshzye Thanks for closing your loop

⚡️The worker has become the liquidity layer for capital.

Labor does the work, absorbs the schedule, carries the stress, pays the tax immediately, rents the shelter, buys the insurance, services the debt, and gets told the economy is healthy because the asset owners are richer.

That is the American machine now.

The worker’s share shrinking to a record low means the economy is no longer distributing productivity through wages.

It is routing productivity through ownership. The surplus goes to equity, platforms, margins, buybacks, automation, IP, real estate, executive comp, and capital gains. Labor gets a paycheck that arrives pre-taxed and leaves through rent, food, insurance, childcare, healthcare, transportation, and interest.

This is why people feel insane. The official economy can be “strong” while the worker feels poorer. Both can be true because GDP and asset prices can rise while the labor claim on income collapses.

The deeper implication is savage: the middle class was a temporary arrangement built on a high labor share, cheap housing, cheap energy, rising wages, domestic industrial strength, and broad access to asset ownership. That arrangement is being dismantled.

AI accelerates the break.

Capital now has a direct path to output without proportional labor. The next productivity wave will not automatically create a new broad middle class. It will flow first to whoever owns the models, chips, power contracts, data centers, workflows, distribution, customer relationships, and balance sheets. Workers who only sell time get repriced downward. Workers who own systems or command machines gain leverage.

That is the split.

The owner uses AI to multiply capital.

The worker uses AI to keep up with rising expectations.

One side captures surplus.

The other side avoids replacement.

That is why “get a good job” is becoming an obsolete life strategy by itself. A job is no longer the bridge to ownership unless the cash flow gets converted aggressively into assets, equity, audience, business ownership, or scarce claims. Salary without ownership becomes a polished treadmill.

The political consequence is already loading. When labor receives the smallest share on record, people eventually stop defending the system that extracts from them. Some will blame immigrants. Some will blame billionaires. Some will blame government. Some will blame capitalism. Some will blame elites. The deeper cause is the same: the worker no longer believes participation produces a fair claim on the upside.

That is where social trust dies.

America is becoming an ownership caste system with consumer branding layered on top. The people who own productive assets compound. The people who sell labor rent access to the life they thought work would buy.

The only escape is ownership.

Not vibes.

Not credentials.

Not loyalty.

Not hard work alone.

Ownership.

@CynicalPublius This is so true

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Some of the smartest people I have ever met in my life never went college.

Some of the stupidest people I have ever met in my life had a JD or a PhD (or both).

The reason the “credentialed” class hates me is because I also have the credentials they define themselves by, and I constantly remind them how worthless those credentials actually are.

(STEM not included.)

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

Absolute insanity…

The 1.3 Million people here under TPS have had nearly 400,000 anchor babies.

We let them in for *temporary* safety and obviously don’t allow them to vote in our elections, yet they have children while here who can vote and collect taxpayer benefits for life.

TRUTH NUKE: Stephen A. Smith: “I’ll confess something to y’all. Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.”

“Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450K.”

“How the h*ll you depart from office, you worth over $200M?” (NOTE: Obama is reportedly worth $60-70M)

“It's amazing to me how these politicians go into office and you you're sworn to serve the American people… But somehow someway they always depart exponentially richer than when they arrived.”

“No matter how hard we try, we can't get rid of lobbyists on Capitol Hill because the lobbyists are the ones funneling money into their pockets.”
