@AleResnik It is not 'Argentinians.' It is 'Argentines'. You are showing a picture, and still misspelled it.

@gonsanchezreyAR No se escribe Argentinean or Argentinian.
La palabra correcta es: Argentine.
so, this account should be: The Argentine Empire

Carl Menger destroyed two thousand years of economic fallacy with a single insight in 1871: value is subjective, existing only in the mind of the individual valuer. The classical economists—from Adam Smith to David Ricardo—had spent centuries chasing their tails, convinced that value somehow resided in objects themselves, whether through labor content or production costs. Menger obliterated this nonsense by pointing out the obvious: a glass of water means nothing to a man by a river but everything to one dying of thirst in the desert.

This breakthrough wasn't just academic—it was revolutionary. By grounding value in human choice and preference, Menger laid the foundation for understanding how markets actually work. Prices don't reflect some mystical "intrinsic worth" but emerge from countless individuals making subjective judgments about their personal wants and needs. And this happens spontaneously, without any central planner needed to "coordinate" anything.

The implications were devastating to statist economics before statist economics even fully existed. If value is subjective, then government price controls become acts of pure violence—bureaucrats literally imposing their subjective valuations on millions of others through force. If value emerges from individual choice, then socialism becomes impossible by definition. You cannot centrally plan what exists only in the minds of individuals.

But the establishment couldn't let this stand. The subjective theory of value made government intervention look like what it is: economic barbarism. So they spent the next century constructing elaborate mathematical models to obscure Menger's simple truth. British pedophile John Maynard Keynes and his disciples built entire careers on ignoring subjective value, pretending that wise technocrats could somehow calculate what only individual actors can know.

The Austrian revolution began with Menger recognizing that value lives in human minds, not in objects—and every government economist has been running from this truth ever since.

Tony Blair on Iran:

Every single time you test an alliance you never test it when things are easy. You test it when it’s hard.

They were asking to use our bases to refuel. It’s not like it was in Vietnam, not like the Iraq campaign where we had thousands of British troops.

The American relationship matters. It matters particularly today. It’s not a question of whether it’s this president or that president.

If they are your ally and they are an indispensable cornerstone for your security, you had better show up.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."

CUBANOS :

La tiranía no habita únicamente en el tirano que manda, encarcela y censura. Habita también y con peligrosa constancia en el alma del envidioso. Ese que no soporta la dignidad ajena, que no tolera ver a otro erguido, libre, creador. El envidioso no gobierna, pero sostiene; no dicta leyes, pero las aplaude; no fabrica cadenas, pero aprende a besarlas.
No ama la igualdad: odia la altura. No lucha por justicia: lucha para que nadie sobresalga. Cuando el déspota promete derribar al que piensa, humillar al que trabaja y castigar al que se mantiene íntegro, el envidioso encuentra su causa. Así, la tiranía se disfraza de moral y el resentimiento se vuelve doctrina.
El envidioso celebra la censura porque no pudo decir la verdad; justifica la cárcel porque jamás tuvo el coraje de ser libre; explica el exilio con la frase más cobarde que conoce la historia: “algo habrá hecho”. Con esa frase no defiende la ley, defiende su propia pequeñez.
Donde la envidia manda, la mediocridad gobierna. Y donde gobierna la mediocridad, el tirano reina sin resistencia. Porque el despotismo necesita pueblos que desconfíen del talento, sospechen de la virtud y castiguen al hombre decente por el simple delito de ser ejemplo.
La república no muere solo por el miedo: se pudre cuando el pueblo deja de admirar al que se eleva y empieza a apedrearlo. La libertad no iguala hacia abajo: eleva hacia arriba. Y quien no soporta esa elevación ya ha entregado su alma al despotismo.
Desenmascarar al envidioso es un acto de higiene moral. Porque mientras no se diga esta verdad incómoda, la tiranía siempre tendrá quien la defienda sin uniforme, sin fusil y sin vergüenza.

Tres días antes de su muerte, Edgar Allan Poe fue hallado en las calles de Baltimore en un estado de angustia incontrolable y necesitado de ayuda. Murió en el hospital presa de ese mismo estado y sin la lucidez necesaria para explicar qué le había ocurrido.
Pocos meses antes había escrito en una carta: "...Mi tristeza es inexplicable, y esto me entristece más aún. Estoy repleto de tenebrosos presentimientos. Nada me anima, nada me consuela. Mi vida parece echada a perder; el futuro me parece un erial pavoroso, pero pienso seguir luchando por tener "esperanza contra toda esperanza".
En recuerdo del gran Poe, nacido el 19 de enero de 1809.

Having a high GDP does not make a country advanced, civilized, or modern. India is extremely poor across most of its vast territory. Its GDP is high mainly because it has around 1.4 billion people, but the vast majority live in very precarious conditions. In India, the caste system still exists, where if you are born into one caste, it is almost impossible to move to another; you are stuck in it for life. India remains a miserable and underdeveloped country, sorry to say it so directly. I respect Indian people, I have Indian friends but the Truth has to be said.

@realMaalouf Yes. Come back to Iran. Lead the transition to a new Constitutional Monarchy with some kind of parlamentarian system like Israel or France or Sweden
