Very well read North Idaho redneck, a believer in Christ, and I value liberty. I can work with my hands or have a lively debate on history and economics.
@GadSaad It's getting harder and harder to feel sorry for the Europeans who keep voting for this. They insist on importing this problem and are all the sudden angry their poor choices are causing poor results.
🚨BREAKING🚨
Congressman Andrew Clyde has "received confirmation from the Trump Administration that the DOJ will NOT appeal our historic court victory against the NFA."
Thank you, President Trump, for restoring our Second Amendment rights and gutting the National Firearms Act!
¿Por qué tantos intelectuales terminan seducidos por la izquierda?
Porque hay que observar qué tipo de vida les ofrece el sistema que defienden y qué lugar ocupan dentro de él.
Muchos intelectuales pasan toda su vida en entornos donde nunca tienen que competir en un mercado abierto.
Nunca deben convencer voluntariamente a un cliente para que compre su producto ni asumir el riesgo de perder su patrimonio.
¿Y por qué viven con esta seguridad?
Porque el Estado les ofrece algo extremadamente atractivo: subvenciones, becas, cargos, consultorías y toda clase de ayudas financiadas con impuestos.
En ese ecosistema el éxito no depende de satisfacer las necesidades del prójimo, sino de obtener el respaldo de quienes administran el poder político.
Y la universidad pública proporciona un refugio especialmente cómodo. Un salario estable, escasa competencia, prestigio social y financiación ilimitada permiten construir una carrera con estabilidad garantizada.
A eso se suma un factor psicológico. Para algunos intelectuales resulta difícil aceptar que un comerciante o un empresario sin tener sus enormes conocimientos, pueda alcanzar una prosperidad mucho mayor. Esa realidad hiere su orgullo.
De ahí nace una necesidad constante de rebajar el mérito del éxito ajeno. Si quien prospera en el mercado no puede ser admirado, entonces debe ser acusado de explotador, privilegiado o inmoral.
Por eso la atracción de muchos intelectuales por la Izquierda no siempre puede entenderse solo como una cuestión filosófica o de principios.
También hay fuertes incentivos materiales, reconocimiento institucional y, en ocasiones, resentimiento hacia quienes prosperan sin depender del Estado.
En resumen, el parasitimo ha capturado a gran parte de los intelectuales.
Most Americans don’t understand what socialism is.
It’s not universal healthcare.
It’s not affordable housing.
It’s not what Nordic countries do.
Confusion is making socialism appeal to those who never lived it.
People who have, reject it.
@guspasho@saylordocs Popple tend to vote yes on tax increases the think won't affect them. They tend to be more critical when it affects them directly. I like the idea of a flat tax personally.
🚨BREAKING🚨
GOA, @SilencerShop, @TheAKGuy, & @WesVirdellTX have officially notified ATF & DOJ of our intent to transfer suppressors tonight, at 12:01AM CDT on 8/13/26, without complying with the currently enjoined requirements of the National Firearms Act of 1934.
We always criticize how evil communist are, but we don’t give them enough credit for their stupidity.
Mao ordered the slaughter of a billion sparrows after accusing them of stealing the nation’s grain.
The pot banging was so successful that sparrows were almost decimated across China.
But since leftists have no conception of second order consequences, locust swarms devoured the fields without any sparrows to limit them, just as Mao’s Great Leap Forward was already collapsing the harvest.
Tens of millions died from the famine because evil and stupid is an unholy combination.
@ailanyus This question annoys me so much. The left spent decades screaming about how God shouldn't be in the classroom. Allah is a god too, he can sit outside too.
Listen people, it’s not hard. If you are not passing slower traffic, get out of the left lane. If someone comes up behind you traveling at a speed faster than you, get out of the left lane. If the right lane is open, get out of the left lane. Get. Out. Of. The. Left. Lane. 🤬
@GuntherEagleman Never assume a congress critter is there to serve the nation. They are there for power and money. Doesn't matter what party they claim.
@DerrickEvans4WV We in the work world already have to teach your kids how to talk on the phone, write an email without using slang and emojis, basic customer service and professionalism. Now you want us to have to teach them life starts before 10am. No thanks.
@YouHavTreadOnMe@UziCryptoo I agree but when we inflate the numbers to political point we loose legitimacy. Call out misinformation wherever you see it.
