Reason before rage. Truth before tribe.

Read it again.

Dishonesty rots you from the inside out.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

You make some fair points, but respectfully, you’re missing the heart of the issue.

You’re right that most people can’t afford to take risks anymore, but the reason isn’t “tax cuts for the rich.”
It’s that everything now costs 10x what it did years ago, because the currency itself has been drained of value.
When governments print endless fiat to patch over crises, they devalue the one thing ordinary people trade their lives for - their money.

The issue becomes easier to understand once you realise fiat currency is one of the biggest problems ever created.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

The tragedy isn’t that wealth exists, it’s that envy has blinded people to how it’s made.
This kind of thinking is just lazy Marxist reduction. It mistakes creation for exploitation.
A man who builds a business creates value; a state that punishes him for it destroys it.
When creation and theft are treated as the same act, decline is inevitable.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

If money doesn’t need real value behind it, then why does printing more of it make people poorer every single time?

The problem isn’t the unit of account, it’s that governments keep creating new money without creating new wealth. The result isn’t growth, it’s inflation, and the working man pays the price every time.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

They always say, “tax the rich” but they never say which rich.

In practice, new wealth taxes don’t touch the global corporations with offshore structures - they crush the small business owner trying to keep ten people employed.

The multinationals can absorb the cost or flee abroad. The local builder, café owner, or startup can’t.

SMEs make up 99% of UK businesses and provide 60% of private-sector jobs, yet every tax rise, regulation, or “wealth levy” hits them first and hardest.

You don’t build a fair economy by punishing the people who actually create value. You just drive them out, and when they’re gone, all that’s left are bureaucrats and monopolies.

I repeat - you’re treating a symptom, not the disease itself.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

Every tyranny begins with the promise of safety.

They tell you censorship protects you from “hate,” but what it really protects is power. Once the State decides which words are acceptable, it decides which thoughts are allowed.

The danger isn’t offensive speech, it’s a society that fears speech itself. A free people do not need protection from words; politicians do.

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

So this is a Bot. It's been created to spread disinformation and mischief. We need to protect ourselves from them.
Social media companies know about the bot farms and dont deal with them.
This is one of the reasons we need the BBC broadcasting with confidence around the world.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

You’re treating the symptom, not the disease.

The problem isn’t untaxed wealth, it’s a currency system that can be endlessly debased by political whim. When money loses meaning, taxing it only shifts the illusion around.

A nation doesn’t prosper by punishing those who create value, but by creating a stable currency that preserves it. High taxes drive innovators away, leaving only bureaucrats to manage decay.

You don’t fix inflation by taxing productivity - you fix it by ending the system that rewards counterfeit wealth.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

When truth becomes dangerous, the powerful build institutions to protect people from it.
The modern press no longer reports reality, it manufactures consent and calls it virtue.
What’s worse is not that people are lied to, but that they begin to prefer the lie. Once that happens, the lie no longer needs to hide - it becomes the foundation of society itself.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

@CrownOfTrust @TonyGreenstein @implausibleblog When money can be conjured from nothing, value itself ceases to mean anything.
The modern state has found a way to steal without calling it theft - by printing fiat and calling it policy.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

A civilisation does not collapse in an instant — it rots first in its soul. Ours is a culture that has forgotten how to kneel, yet still wonders why it cannot stand. We tear down every altar and then complain that nothing is holy.

For all its flaws, religion once gave man a reason to bear the weight of his existence. It taught restraint, humility, and the idea that even the smallest life carried divine meaning. Now, stripped of the sacred, the modern man is told to worship only himself — his desires, his comfort, his fleeting opinions. He has become both priest and god of his own emptiness.

Politics, science, and progress were meant to enlighten him, yet they have only replaced the cross with a mirror. A society that worships nothing higher than itself inevitably devours itself. We see it now — streets ruled by chaos, children raised without fathers, men ashamed of strength, women robbed of dignity, and leaders without truth.

Human rights, compassion, even justice — these are not inventions of the modern world; they are the inheritance of the Christian conscience. When that conscience dies, these virtues will soon follow, and what remains will not be freedom, but barbarism dressed in technology.

If the West is to survive, it must remember not how to build machines, but how to build meaning. Without a faith strong enough to humble the powerful and lift the broken, we will not have a civilisation — only ruins that still glow faintly from the fires of what once was Christendom.

Doorbell Camera capture the moment a Teen was shot this weekend.

The UK isn’t used to seeing Live Shootings on the Streets, however as Society continues to crumble they are becoming increasingly more frequent.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

No sin cries louder than the harm of a child, and no hypocrisy runs deeper than the politician who speaks of compassion while silencing their suffering.
A nation that hides evil for the sake of its voters & image will one day find that its image is all it has left - hollow, godless, and rotting from within.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

Truth costs something. That’s why so few are willing to pay it.
It demands humiliation before understanding, solitude before clarity.
The modern man would rather purchase a thousand illusions than suffer one honest conviction.

We say we want truth - but only the kind that flatters us.
The rest we call “dangerous.”

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

Farage isn’t trusted because he’s proven himself, he’s trusted because everyone else has proven they can’t be.
When the people are betrayed long enough, they stop believing in virtue and start believing in vengeance.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me for decades, and I’ll trust anyone who speaks plainly.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

The thief isn’t the capitalist, nor the worker, it’s the statesman and banker who counterfeit morality as they print away the value of our currency.
They steal the meaning of labour itself, hiding their crime behind words like stability and growth.
A society cannot stay honest when its currency, and conscience are both built on lies.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

@LiveonBTC @implausibleblog Your username tells me you have the right idea.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

@narindertweets We’ve created a culture that pays people to provoke, not to think.
Outrage and is their currency - and every tweet is another withdrawal from their integrity.

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

Remembrance isn’t about war. It’s about what happens when men forget who they are.

The soldiers we honour didn’t die for politics or slogans, they died believing truth was worth suffering for.

We wear the poppy, but live like their sacrifice bought us permission to drift.

A country that remembers its dead only once a year has already forgotten them.

🇬🇧

[The Ordinary Thinker @OrderInThought]

@basilthegreat Remembrance is not a day for pride, but for repentance.
We honour the dead not by wearing their symbols, but by living with their courage.
