@NickKristof @elonmusk @NickKristof I think you’re an idiot. Thank you for proving it. And stop being resentful to the builders. Read Atlas Shrugged and learn something. A tool indeed.

Le progressisme est le pire cancer des 50 dernières années.

Pas parce qu'il est "de gauche".

Parce qu'il a volé un mot — progrès — pour vendre exactement son contraire.

C'est la thèse de Thiel. Une fois que tu la vois, tu ne peux plus la dé-voir.

Dans les années 60, l'Occident construisait. On allait sur la Lune. On bâtissait des centrales nucléaires, des avions supersoniques, on parlait sérieusement de coloniser Mars et de vaincre le cancer en dix ans. Le progrès, c'était des atomes : de l'énergie moins chère, des transports plus rapides, des vies plus longues.

Puis quelque chose s'est cassé autour de 1971.

L'innovation dans le monde physique s'est arrêtée net. Le Concorde a été retiré — on vole moins vite aujourd'hui qu'il y a 50 ans. Le nucléaire a été tué par la peur. Le salaire réel médian a stagné pendant un demi-siècle. "On nous avait promis des voitures volantes, on a eu 140 caractères."

Mais l'humain a besoin de croire qu'il avance. Alors le progressisme a fait une chose géniale et terrifiante : il a déplacé le mot "progrès" du monde des atomes vers le monde des symboles.

Puisqu'on ne savait plus agrandir le gâteau, on a décrété que le seul combat qui compte était de le redécouper. Plus de croissance à promettre ? On promet de la redistribution, de la repentance, des comités, des labels, des normes. La machine à créer a été remplacée par la machine à gérer le déclin — et on a appelé ça "le bon côté de l'Histoire".

C'est là que Girard rejoint Thiel. Le progressisme n'est pas une politique, c'est une religion sécularisée. Il a gardé tous les rouages du christianisme — le péché, la culpabilité, la confession, le bouc émissaire à sacrifier — mais il a jeté la rédemption et la transcendance. Résultat : une religion qui ne sait que désigner des coupables. Jamais pardonner. Jamais construire.

Et les coupables désignés, ce sont toujours les mêmes : ceux qui bâtissent. L'entrepreneur, l'ingénieur, le fondateur, celui qui prend des risques et crée quelque chose à partir de rien. Pendant ce temps on érige en héros le commentateur, le régulateur, le consultant — celui qui ne produit rien mais qui distribue les bons points moraux.

Voilà pourquoi c'est un cancer, au sens propre. Une cellule cancéreuse n'est pas un envahisseur extérieur. C'est une cellule de ton propre corps qui oublie sa fonction, refuse de mourir, et se met à grossir sans rien produire d'utile — jusqu'à étouffer les organes qui font vivre l'ensemble. Le progressisme, c'est exactement ça : une partie de la société qui a cessé de créer de la valeur, qui se nourrit de celle des autres, et qui appelle ça de la vertu.

La bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'un cancer, ça se soigne. Le remède n'est pas la nostalgie. C'est de rendre au mot "progrès" son sens originel : construire des choses réelles. De l'énergie abondante. Des frontières nouvelles. Des fondateurs qu'on célèbre au lieu de les juger.

Le futur n'appartient pas à ceux qui redécoupent le gâteau. Il appartient à ceux qui en font un plus grand.

@JoelWBerry Correct. And we have the likes of @megynkelly standing by with her whetstone at the ready while blindfolded to whom she’s sharpening their sword. But what’s visible on the inside of her blindfold is the flag of Israel.

@IngrahamAngle Love this. Europeans have always loved this John Denver song. They sing it often! First time I heard them sing this was at Oktoberfest in Munich. I had to ask my German hubby, “are they singing a John Denver song?” I was so confused. 😂

@DefiyantlyFree It’s incredible how she doesn’t get it. She’s exactly like the left/Democrats who have TDS. I guess she has IDS. She truly isn’t very smart.

@SovMichael Per Grok: Using the widely cited long-term average, heat-related deaths in Europe exceed total U.S. gun deaths by a factor of roughly 4× (175,000 vs. ~44,500).

[Shield Maiden @ShieldMaidenFL]

@DefiyantlyFree @megynkelly please read and learn. You are experiencing brain rot.

[Shield Maiden @ShieldMaidenFL]

@feardeas @megbasham @adequatebath Shame on your EU leaders for this sir:

Per Grok: Using the widely cited long-term average, heat-related deaths in Europe exceed total U.S. gun deaths by a factor of roughly 4× (175,000 vs. ~44,500).

Decreasing heat related deaths in Europe needs greater focus.

@GadSaad From a secular perspective, seems all roads lead to The French Revolution… from a Biblical perspective believers understand what’s coming. You’re correct btw. So glad you’re “coming to America”! I appreciate you.

[Shield Maiden @ShieldMaidenFL]

@SovMichael And Megyn Kelly has had him on her show a few times. I kept shaking my head listening to him. So disturbing.

[Shield Maiden @ShieldMaidenFL]

@SethDillon @PMaxiums I appreciate all you have to say. Ignore the ignoramuses, keep speaking truth! 👍🏼🙏🏼

@EYakoby Yawn. It’s all talk from the Democrats they have no spine.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

I just left the ARC conference, where so many speakers lamented the decline of the West and attributed it to spiritual causes. I agree the West has a spiritual malady. It's called ingratitude. It's feeling entitled to the miracle all around us and thus miserable and empty.

"Is this all there is?" he texts from a lie-flat seat in the front on a 787 taking him across the world in a few hours. The message gets there fast because the plane is in near-constant contact with satellites that provide high-speed Internet literally anywhere and that you can't even outrun at 0.90 Mach.

We complain about spiritual decline while absolutely nothing prevents us from pursuing whatever spiritual path we want, or inviting people to come participate in one with us. There are zero impediments except our own willingness to see that we're in a living miracle and our own ingratitude.

Not one of the overwhelming majority of us will ever face actual food insecurity. We've never wondered if we'll need to boil our shoes to feed our children. We blame a world that gives us everything instead of realizing we're so entitled we won't even look for depth. We don't even have to get off the couch to find it, though maybe we should. It's in our phones if we'd just look.

I agree that there are elements of decline in the West, and that perhaps there are spiritual causes, but I think those start with each of us being unwilling to accept and be grateful for our inheritance and our incredible bounty.

I disagree that with the diagnosis, though, ultimately. We're doing amazing things people refuse to recognize, and we've been attacked by Western Marxist darkness until we've learned only to be critical about everything we have. We're not declining. We're being poisoned, and in our cushy ingratitude, we can refuse the tainted cup.

@JoelWBerry Whatever kooky @TuckerCarlson is saying/believing, do the opposite. He’s a complete nut job.

[Shield Maiden @ShieldMaidenFL]

Every time I travel to Utah, which is 3-5x a year, I see it becoming more leftist. I’m concerned about my grandchildren but thankfully my son did not go to university (and doing just fine career wise) so he isn’t indoctrinated and sees the woke left BS very clearly. I’m continuing to educate him about the Woke right BS.

Sadly, men have chosen this pathway that will lead to the fracturing of the United States and the distortion of the Gospel.

Stephen and others are using the ideological tools of the Left in order to disrupt and dismantle what was the conservative Right.

In doing so, they are attempting to create a "new sensibility" as the "old" conservative Christianity is deconstructed and the "New Right" and "New Christendom" is created along with the call for an ecclesial system that will supersede governance as a whole.

This would, of course, lead to division and fracturing within the United States as people who don't hold these beliefs will seek to live in areas where their own unique beliefs and pathways to truth (epistemology) are respected.

This means that the nation will give up or surrender our pursuit of objective truth and the scientific method. We will tribalize. From henceforth, communities will be tribal according to their own standpoint epistemology or "lived experience" or tradition.

This should sound familiar to you: this is exactly what we all experienced prior to 2021 from the Woke Left. The "we need to hear only from black voices" or "marginalized voices" mantra that accompanied intersectionality.

So we are now going to play this game with the "Woke Right" which is comprised of those that call themselves Paleoconservatives, Christian Nationalists, Integralists, Caesaropapists, Francoists, etc etc.

These movements are purposed to disrupt and dismantle the United States.

These are political movements disguised as theological movements.

If you would like to preserve our constitutional republic, you will reject these fracturing movements and help to restore our nation.

Per Grok: The McCarran-Walter Act (formally the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952) was not repealed in full by any single person or law. It remains the foundational statute for U.S. immigration and nationality law today, though it has been heavily amended over decades. https://t.co/486J0oqfoA
Key parts were changed as follows:
• The national origins quota system (the Act’s most controversial feature, which favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while restricting others) was abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act). President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it into law on October 3, 1965. This act shifted priorities to family reunification, skilled workers, and refugees, dramatically reshaping U.S. immigration. https://t.co/hsaFGz69Al
• Ideological exclusion/deportation provisions (e.g., barring or deporting people for communist affiliations, certain political beliefs, or associations) were largely repealed by the Immigration Act of 1990 (signed by President George H.W. Bush). Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan played a notable role in pushing for repeal of these Cold War-era sections. https://t.co/uzJF1aWKsk
The 1952 Act itself was passed by Congress (sponsored by Sen. Pat McCarran and Rep. Francis Walter) over President Harry Truman’s veto on June 27, 1952. It consolidated prior laws, ended explicit Asian racial exclusion (while keeping small quotas), and introduced preference categories that still influence modern law. https://t.co/486J0oqfoA
