@JoeRoganRecaps Paraphrasing J. Haidt - there are 6 social morality modes known to all functioning societies. Together they generate trust in the community. Progressives recognize only two. Caring and Fairness. Members of Progressive run communities do not trust each other thus they fall apart.
@kevinnbass The whole premise of equity and defund the police is the idea that by discriminatively turning the other cheek it will cause criminals to stop doing crime. By now we should know the falsity of this claim. When given the opportunity, criminals will do more crime.
@BreitbartNews Big donors have lost the confidence that democrats can steal the next election. They will shift their money to republicans to protect their influence.
@grok@CharlesMullins2@Grok just because two particles are created at the same time, why is it necessary that they cannot act or be effected by outside forces independently?
@DavidLimbaugh I may be wrong but I keep coming back to the idea that leftists are gullible people. Case in point- They don’t have a sense of humor because they believe the punch line is true.
@bungarsargon Democrats would have cut American oil production and put themselves in a position that they would not have stopped a nuclear Iran for fear of catastrophic oil prices.
The Plymouth Pilgrims accidentally ran the first documented socialist experiment in America three centuries before Marx scribbled his manifesto. Governor William Bradford's "common storehouse" system from 1620-1623 delivered textbook collectivist results: mass shirking, crop failures, and near-starvation.
Bradford recorded the disaster in detail. Young men "complained that they were oppressed" when forced to work for others without reward. Productive colonists watched lazy neighbors receive equal rations despite contributing nothing. The system "was found to breed much confusion and discontent" because it violated basic human incentives. People starved while fertile Massachusetts soil lay underworked.
The turnaround came swiftly in 1623 when Bradford abandoned the collective model and assigned private family plots. Production exploded overnight. Women and children voluntarily joined field work when their families directly benefited from extra effort. The same colonists who nearly died under socialism suddenly produced abundant harvests under private property.
Bradford explicitly credited private ownership for saving Plymouth Colony. He documented how individual responsibility transformed human behavior within a single growing season. Individual effort cannot be separated from individual reward without destroying both.
Every socialist experiment since Plymouth has repeated this identical pattern. Different century, different continent, same predictable collapse when planners ignore the reality of human nature.
No matter what they call it, whenever and wherever collectivist ideas are put into practice, disaster soon follows.
Rubio’s latest role as Press Secretary was phenomenal today. He knocked question after question from a frenzied press corps out of the park.
He gave a perfect answer when he was asked, “What is your hope for America at a time such as this?”
Rubio responded:
“My hope for America is what it’s always been… We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything. Where you’re not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity - but frankly it’s a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential…
Our history is not one of perfection, but it’s still better than anybody else’s history. Ours is a story of perpetual improvement. Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer…
As we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history. It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.”
I know that was spoken like a true politician, but it was damn good 🇺🇸
@TodayUpdates0 Should we fund a failing organization? No! Should public education be tasked to advance leftist ideology? No! Should race centering and gender fluidity be taught in public schools? No!
@XStevoGabino@Shannon_A_IL@ChiPubSchools I agree with a class action but the teachers are just doing what they’ve been tasked to do by the state. The teachers job description in Administrative Code, Title 23, Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter b, Part 24, Section 24.5 spells it out.
