“The barbarians are not at the gates. They are inside the gates—and have academic tenure, judicial appointments, government grants, and control of the movies, television, and other media.”
— Thomas Sowell
You see that dip in global life expectancy in the 1950s?
That was caused by one man, Mao Zedong.
Mbappe should have apologised only for not being ruder about him.
Alla kulturer är lika mycket värda ... 🥳🤭
Västerländsk kultur är dock värd mest får jag intryck av med tanke hur vi rånas på offentliga medel, år ut och år in, av folk från andra lika mycket värda kulturer.
@martinez_clips That's an opinion. Unfortunately, that does not change the fact that the difference between the Nazi subordination of private property and the Marxist abolition of it is real.
@jesperottosson6@AronFlam Är du helt flängd? När har Israel sagt att de vill utplåna pallywood (Gaza och Judéen och Samarien, Västbanken alltså)? Ville de verkligen göra det kunde göra det på en fredag eftermiddag innan sabbaten och ändå ha tid kvar att helghandla.
Stolle!
@AronFlam Vad heter avsnittet på deras YT-kanal? Jag vill ju se puckot ställa frågan till dig. Låter helt sanslöst ignorant att ställa den frågan till dig.
Если капитализм такой эффективный, то почему мир не знает французского или немецкого смартфона, канадского телевизора, испанского самолёта, итальянской космонавтики, британского локомотива, американского ледокола? Я назвал самые "развитые" страны, про остальные вообще молчу.
Politics in practice is the art of selling short term gains at the expense of far greater long term losses.
And that's assuming the short term gains ever materialize.
More often, voters are trading their future prosperity for promises that were economically nonsensical from the start.
It's a remarkably effective business model when politicians collect the rewards and everyone else pays the bill.
Such a sad chart, really shows Yuri Bezmenov was correct and the left was demoralized via our own institutions. Bleak man. Love your country no matter what your political affiliation
This is eye-opening. Europe’s share of global tech R&D has collapsed from 23% in 2005 to just 8% today, while the US has climbed to 62% and China has risen from near zero to 15%. South Korea now outspends Germany, France, the UK, and Italy combined in tech R&D. Yep, you read that right.
This is the predictable result of policy choices that systematically favor control and redistribution over growth. Layered regulation, data rules, AI restrictions, labor rigidities, and precautionary frameworks, raises the cost and slows the pace of turning ideas into products, forcing companies to spend scarce resources on compliance rather than experimentation. High taxation and expansive redistributive systems extract capital that would otherwise fund private R&D and risk-taking, while shrinking the after-tax reward for building something new and scaling it. The broader left-leaning mindset that prioritizes equality of outcome over dynamism treats entrepreneurial success as something to be managed, taxed, or shared rather than unleashed and rewarded.
Places that protect the returns to innovation and keep barriers low continue to pull ahead, attracting talent and capital that Europe increasingly loses. Europe’s relative decline is the cumulative outcome of treating dynamism as a problem to be regulated rather than the engine of prosperity. Without a shift toward lighter rules, lower burdens on enterprise, and greater tolerance for unequal outcomes from unequal effort, the gap will keep widening, and Europe will become an open-air museum for wealthy Americans and Asians.
