Nothing

[Connor O'Keeffe @connorokeeffe]

The left isn’t anti-monopoly, they’re just against monopolies they don’t control.

[Handre @Handre]

The entire left-right political spectrum is a lie designed to keep you arguing about the wrong things.

Both "far left" and "far right" share one defining feature: the total subordination of the individual to collective power. The Soviet Politburo murdered kulaks for holding grain. The National Socialists murdered Jews for holding capital. Different scapegoats, identical mechanism: the state deciding who deserves to exist and on what terms.

The conventional model places maximum government on both ends and freedom somewhere in the center. This model is geometrically incoherent. A line with tyranny at both poles and liberty in the middle tells you nothing about the actual variable being measured, which is the concentration of coercive power.

The only axis worth mentioning runs from zero coercion to total coercion. Mao's China and Hitler's Germany sit centimeters apart on that axis. Venezuela under Maduro and Mussolini's Italy were structurally identical in their economic controls, even as their ceremonial aesthetics differed wildly.

What passes for "far right" in media coverage today often means nationalism plus market skepticism, which is state capitalism with a flag. What passes for "far left" means internationalism plus market abolition, which is state capitalism with a committee. You get robbed either way; the paperwork just differs.

The prefix "far" does no analytical work. It signals emotional distance from a speaker's preferred center, nothing more.

A government that controls prices, conscripts labor, and criminalizes dissent is totalitarian. The color of its flag is insignificant.

@daveforthescath Checkmate

[JustPlainKane @Data_Grumpkin36]

@Anticommii @xxChessMaster Software-based chess games will not count it as checkmate until the after the move. It does not know what the human controlling white might do.

[JustPlainKane @Data_Grumpkin36]

@xxChessMaster Playing chess via computer software will not count it as checkmate until the next move. Don’t overthink it

@TyKeynes Do you even attempt to collect your thoughts and organize them before posting?

When his son got lost in math, @PaulCwik backtracked to where he still knew the material and started again. What government school teacher could do that? Homeschooling three kids, he found the work was usually done by lunchtime.

@caseyjdonaldson Simply put: the US and global economy are rife with mal-investment. The economy is trying to correct, but government intervention keeps blowing the bubble bigger putting off the required correction that will be more painful later than if done in the near term.
