Sabotage: Democrats Burn America to Stay in Power

The Democratic Party has ceased to be a political organization and has instead metastasized into a domestic insurgency hellbent on the destruction of the United States.

Their strategy for the upcoming midterms is not to offer better policies, stronger economies, or safer communities. Their strategy is sabotage. They are actively burning down the American house, hoping that amidst the ashes and chaos, they might find a path to power. This is not politics. This is treason, plain and simple.

Look at the evidence. It is overwhelming and undeniable. They refuse to secure the border. Why? Because they know that an influx of non-citizens dilutes the vote of legitimate Americans and creates a dependent class they can manipulate. They have turned our southern border into an open invitation for criminals, terrorists, and drug cartels. Fentanyl is killing over 100,000 Americans a year, a genocide on our own soil, and their response is to sue states that try to stop it. They are complicit in this bloodshed. Every overdose death is on their hands. They prioritize the rights of invaders over the lives of citizens. That is not a policy difference; it is an act of war against the American people.

They sabotage our energy independence at every turn. They block pipelines, ban drilling on federal lands, and push green energy fantasies that have caused gas prices to skyrocket and electricity grids to fail. They want you to pay more for everything. They want you to be cold, hungry, and dependent on the government for your basic needs. They destroyed the refinery capacity in California and now feign outrage when gas prices hit $6 a gallon. They created the crisis, they profited from the green subsidies, and they expect you to vote for them to fix the mess they made. It is a racket, and you are the victim.

They defunded the police and turned our cities into war zones. San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Chicago. These were once great American cities, now they are open-air drug markets and homeless encampments. They released criminals, refused to prosecute crimes, and allowed lawlessness to fester. They told you it was about "justice," but the only thing they delivered was fear. They made it unsafe for you to walk your own streets, unsafe for small businesses to operate, and unsafe for families to thrive. And when crime spikes, they blame poverty or racism, ignoring the fact that their own policies removed the consequences for criminal behavior.

They weaponize the federal government against their political opponents. The FBI, the DOJ, the IRS. These agencies have been turned into tools of political persecution. They spy on parents at school boards. They target conservative groups for extra scrutiny. They leak false information to the media to destroy reputations. They tried to overthrow a sitting president through a fabricated dossier and a fake impeachment. They are terrified that you will realize they are not the good guys. They are the ones who threaten democracy because they cannot win at the ballot box.

They push radical gender ideologies on our children. They want to teach kindergarten students that they can change their sex. They want to hide medical transitions from parents. They want to indoctrinate your kids with hate for their country and their history. They are grooming a generation to be confused, angry, and dependent on the state for their identity. They are destroying the family unit because a strong family is a threat to their control.

This is the blueprint. Sabotage the economy. Destroy the border. Defund the police. Weaponize the justice system. Indoctrinate the children. They create the problem, they refuse to fix it, and then they ask for your vote to prevent the very disaster they engineered. It is a con job of epic proportions. They are traitors to the Constitution, traitors to the rule of law, and traitors to the American people. They do not love this country. They hate it. And they will continue to sabotage it until we stop them. The midterms are not just an election. They are a referendum on whether we allow this destruction to continue. We must vote them out of existence. We must reclaim our country from these saboteurs. We must expose them, mock them, and defeat them. There is no other option.

In 1949, roughly two million Kuomintang soldiers, officials, and civilians fled to Taiwan carrying almost nothing. Within thirty years, Taiwan posted GDP growth averaging close to 9 percent annually, built one of Asia's most competitive electronics industries, and gave ordinary workers real wage gains that mainland China, sealed under Mao Zedong's collectivism, would not match for decades. This contrast is a controlled experiment in political economy.

The refugees who landed on Taiwan had little choice but to produce. Chiang Kai-shek's government, chastened by losing the mainland, implemented a genuine land reform in 1953 that broke up absentee landlordism and handed title to the farmers who actually worked the soil. Secure property rights created the incentive to invest and improve. Farmers grew more because the harvest belonged to them, not to a committee in Beijing.

From the 1950s onward, Taiwan's planners (and they were imperfect, nobody denies that) kept currency relatively sound, maintained contract enforcement, and allowed private capital to accumulate. Small and medium enterprises multiplied without seeking permission from a central plan. By 1980, Taiwan's per capita income exceeded mainland China's by a factor of roughly fifteen. You cannot attribute that gap to geography, ethnicity, or culture; both populations share the same civilization.

Mainland China, meanwhile, destroyed capital through collectivization, killed somewhere between 15 and 55 million people in the Great Leap Forward famine of 1959 to 1961, and then wrecked whatever remained of voluntary exchange during the Cultural Revolution. Central planning actively consumes the human and physical capital required to produce anything at all.

Taiwan's prosperity emerged from treating property as inviolable, prices as information, and individuals as agents rather than resources to be allocated. The island proved that even desperate, stateless refugees accumulate wealth rapidly when government protects exchange rather than directing it.

Isn’t it interesting that under the Biden administration…from Jan 2021 - Jan 2025, WTI crude peaked around $123 - $133 per barrel in early March 2022 and U.S. regular gas hit a record national average of about $5.01 per gallon in mid June 2022.

Today gas is almost $5.00 a gallon but oil is $92 dollars a barrel. This is called PRICE GOUGING. This is what the Deep State rigging the midterms looks like folks. They can’t use a pandemic like they tried with the Hantavirus. They can’t use a fake Russia or Ukraine collusion story anymore. They are using inflated gas prices to try and disenfranchise Republicans from voting now.

“The system doesn’t want independent adults. It wants obedient slaves.”

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

13 years in government school and an 18-year-old can’t build a house, work on a car, grow food, read a budget, or tell you how their own body works.

But they can tell you their pronouns and why they’re depressed.
That’s not education. That’s a factory for dependents.

Bring back shop class. Home economics. Personal finance. Nutrition. Farming. Welding. Cooking. Changing a tire. Balancing a checkbook.

A kid who can feed themselves, fix something, and keep a roof over their head is a lot harder to control than a kid who only knows how to fill out a form and wait for the next program.

The system doesn’t want independent adults. It wants obedient slaves.

Parents if the school won’t teach it, you will. You need to.

Our children deserve self sufficiency and knowledge.

You lived through FOUR YEARS of the Biden disaster - runaway inflation, an open border, weaponized government, weakness abroad and cultural insanity at home.

Now you’re telling me you can’t give President Trump four full years to repair it?

In less than two years:

🔥 Illegal border crossings collapsed
🔥 “Catch and release” was dismantled
🔥 Remain in Mexico was restored
🔥 Deportations and cartel enforcement intensified
🔥 Biden’s federal DEI machine was dismantled
🔥 Biological sex was restored in federal policy
🔥 Men were pushed back out of women’s sports
🔥 The military returned its focus to readiness - not woke social experiments
🔥 Biden’s EV mandates and energy restrictions were reversed
🔥 American oil, gas, mining and infrastructure were reopened
🔥 The Paris climate agenda was abandoned
🔥 Federal hiring, waste and bureaucracy were challenged
🔥 Permanent tax relief and pro-growth policies replaced Biden’s tax-and-spend direction
🔥 America stopped apologizing and started negotiating from strength again

No, every price hasn’t fallen yet. You cannot create trillions in inflation, flood a country with millions of illegal immigrants, bury businesses in regulation and destabilize the world - then repair everything in a few months.

Trump deserves criticism when he gets something wrong.

But abandoning the entire agenda before the turnaround has had four full years would be political suicide.

You gave Biden four years to BREAK it.

Give President Trump four years to FIX it.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! President Trump just dropped a flurry of RECORD-BREAKING economic victories that the Fake News refuses to cover during the midterms

- Real median household income is the HIGHEST EVER RECORDED
- The U.S. poverty rate is at its LOWEST LEVEL ON RECORD
- U.S. goods exports are on pace for their HIGHEST LEVEL IN HISTORY in 2026
- S&P Global says U.S. business growth is at its HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 5 YEARS
- Trillions of dollars in new investments are pouring into the United States

TRUMP: "If anyone else were President, this would be all the Media would talk about. But because no one ever wants to give me credit, no one is talking about these Historic Numbers." 🔥

“The FAKE NEWS and DUMOCRATS hate these reports, and these Record Setting Numbers. They hate the TRUTH, and they hate the Great Success that our Country is having. Just look at the Numbers — THE BEST IN HISTORY. VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN AND “TRUMP” CANDIDATES IN THE MIDTERMS.”

Communists would reverse all of this. Remember that!

Vote red to keep saving America. Voting blue advances us towards communism and become Ceuta, Spain or a 3rd world Islamic colony!

A 10-year-old girl was kidnapped in broad daylight. Hours later, two garbage collectors saw something that stopped them in their tracks.

It was the silver car police were searching for, sitting alone in the middle of a field. Dion Merrick and Brandon Antoine realized the missing girl could still be inside, so they pulled their garbage truck across the only way out, blocked the car from leaving and called 911.

For the next few minutes, they stayed there with the suspect trapped while police raced to the scene. When officers arrived, they rushed in, arrested the kidnapper and found 10-year-old Jalissa alive inside.

Dion and Brandon were just doing their normal route that morning. But because they were paying attention and refused to let that car leave, a missing 10-year-old girl made it home safely.

Some stories deserve to travel just as far as the bad news does. This is one of them.

Musk, Milei and Macron – A Café in Paris

Saint-Germain. Three coffees. One chainsaw.

MACRON: Javier, you cannot bring that in here.

MILEI: It is not switched on.

MACRON: That is not the reassurance you think it is.

MUSK: Let him keep it. It’s the only visual aid that ever worked.

MACRON: Very well. So – you both wanted to explain the economy to me. I should say that I worked at Rothschild, I ran the finance ministry, and I have been President for nine years.

MILEI: Yes. That is the problem we are here to discuss.

MUSK: Let’s start simple. Where does money come from?

MACRON: From the economy. Value created, taxed, redistributed.

MUSK: Close. Where does value come from?

MACRON: Labour. Capital. Innovation. The social contract that organizes them.

MUSK: Someone makes a thing that didn’t exist. That’s it. Everything else is moving it around. A country gets rich in exactly one way – more people making more things. And it gets poor in exactly one way: making it harder to make things.

MACRON: That is a caricature. There is regulation, protection, standards, a European framework…

MILEI: In your country, to open a factory, you ask. To hire, you ask. To fire, you ask, and then you pay for three years. To build a reactor, you ask for seventeen years. What happens if nobody answers?

MACRON: The procedure continues.

MILEI: No. The answer is no. Silence is no. You have made no the default setting of an entire civilization.

MACRON: We built Ariane. We built the TGV. We built the nuclear fleet.

MUSK: In the seventies. Under rules that no longer exist. You could not build your own nuclear fleet today – you’d be in year nine of the consultation.

MACRON: (pause) Flamanville took seventeen years.

MUSK: There it is.

MACRON: So what would you do? Abolish the state?

MILEI: No. I am not an anarchist on Tuesdays. The state does four things. Courts. Police. Borders. Contracts. Everything else it touches, it makes worse and more expensive – and it charges you for the privilege in advance.

MACRON: And the social model? The pensions, the healthcare, the…

MUSK: You can only keep the social model if you produce enough to pay for it. You do not. So you are not defending the model. You are defending the speeches about the model, while the young people who would have funded it move to Austin.

MACRON: Two hundred thousand a year.

MUSK: You know the number.

MACRON: Of course I know the number. I know all the numbers. (He stirs his coffee.) You must understand that I am not unsympathetic. I have read Bastiat.

MUSK: Then what didn’t you understand?

MACRON: I am French. Privately, I agree with a great deal of what you say.

MILEI: Then why do you not say it?

MACRON: Because it would not be useful.

MILEI: To whom?

MACRON: (pause) To the process.

MUSK: To you.

MACRON: These are not different things, at this level. That is something people outside government never grasp.

MILEI: Then why?

MACRON: Because the numbers are not the constraint. (He looks up.) The constraint is that every one of those regulations has a constituency, a ministry, and a union. The pension reform cost me the streets for six months. Six months, for two years of retirement age. You are asking me to do forty such reforms simultaneously, in a country that is the world champion of not moving.

MILEI: No. I am asking why you find that constraint so comfortable.

MACRON: I beg your pardon.

MILEI: Every one of those constituencies is also a lever. The ministry that blocks the factory is a ministry you appoint. The subsidy that saves the failing firm is a subsidy you grant. You describe that as an obstacle to your power, while that is the substance of it – that is what you do. A president in a country where everything is permitted has almost nothing left to distribute.

MACRON: That is a very cynical reading.

MILEI: It is the only one that fits the evidence. Everything else requires you to be incompetent, and you are not incompetent.

MACRON: (after a moment) No. I am not.

MUSK: And here’s the part I don’t think you’ve considered. You keep asking how to make France competitive. Wrong question. Ask instead what happens if you do nothing.

MACRON: We decline slowly.

MUSK: No. You decline until the decline itself becomes the constituency – until more people depend on the managing of the problem than on solving it. Then it’s structural. You’re close.

MILEI: Two hundred thousand young French people leave every year.

MACRON: A European mobility question. And they are replaced.

MUSK: Not by engineers.

MACRON: We have programmes.

MILEI: Emmanuel. I inherited two hundred percent inflation and nine defaults. Every economist in Buenos Aires told me it was politically impossible. I killed the rent control. The housing supply in Buenos Aires tripled. Prices fell. Because I stopped forbidding the supply.

MACRON: Argentina is not France.

MILEI: Correct. Argentina was worse. That was the advantage. When the patient is dying, even the doctors stop arguing. Your patient is merely declining, so everyone can keep their position while it happens.

MACRON: You describe decline. I would call it stability.

MUSK: Same thing at a different speed.

MACRON: (lightly) Not to those of us who must be re-elected inside the timeframe.

MILEI: There it is. You gave the whole answer and did not notice.

MACRON: And suppose I did what you ask. Suppose tomorrow I abolish the permission – activity free, punishment after real harm, silence means yes.

MILEI: Six months of war. The street, the press, your own administration. Then the electricity price starts falling, the first permits clear in thirty days, and somebody opens a factory. And then it is no longer an argument. It is a fact, and facts recruit faster than speeches.

MACRON: And during those six months I lose everything I hold.

MILEI: Yes.

MACRON: You make it sound like a technical matter.

MUSK: It is a technical matter. That’s what nobody wants to hear. There’s no mystery here. Cheap energy, fast permits, real consequences for actual harm, and freedom to hire. Every country that does those four things gets rich. Every country that doesn’t, doesn’t. It isn’t culture. It isn’t destiny.

MACRON: It is arithmetic, and I have a Republic that has beheaded people for less.

MILEI: They did not behead the ones who built things. They beheaded the ones who administered a system nobody could afford any more. You may want to check which chair you are sitting in.

MACRON: (signalling for the bill) And what exactly did you two come here to achieve?

MUSK: Nothing. We came to say it out loud, in front of you, so nobody can pretend later that you didn’t know.

MACRON: (reaching for his wallet) Let me. The state can afford three coffees.

MILEI: (stopping him) The state cannot afford three coffees. That is the entire conversation we have just had.

“-temporary pain at the pump is not a reason to permanently surrender your border, culture, children, freedoms and country.”

[AJ Inapi (Allan) @aj_inapi]

Gas prices will come back down as supply adjusts, refineries recover and the geopolitical cycle moves on. Eventually, America’s strategic focus will shift closer to the Western Hemisphere.

But before voting over one painful season at the pump, ask what alternative you are choosing.

Would you prefer:

- Men competing in women’s sports?
- Irreversible gender procedures for minors?
- Parents silenced over what schools teach their children?
- Christians and pro-life protesters targeted for living their beliefs?
- Millions of illegal aliens crossing the border?
- Taxpayer-funded services for illegal aliens while Americans struggle?
- Criminals released while law-abiding citizens are punished?
- Biological reality replaced by political ideology?
- More censorship disguised as “protecting democracy”?
- More foreign spending without clear limits or accountability?
- Energy restrictions that leave America vulnerable to every overseas crisis?

High fuel prices hurt. President Trump must bring them down.

But temporary pain at the pump is not a reason to permanently surrender your border, culture, children, freedoms and country.

Do not vote on one price. Vote on the full cost of the alternative.

There should be an official X News channel, similar to C-Span, that live streams all these important news events without any commentary, so people can just watch them and listen for themselves. The official White House Press Pool video (legacy media) should be replaced with new media.

The legacy of “legacy” media:

“These ten hoaxes barely scratch the surface of a decades-long catalog of engineered deception.”

[Saggezza Eterna @FinalTelegraph]

Here are ten grotesque hoaxes that permanently broke corporate journalism and exposed their cartel forever.

Legacy media executives feign bewilderment over their cratering credibility, yet the historical record tells an undeniable story. The collapse of public trust was earned through calculated psychological operations, doctored footage, and deliberate institutional fraud. They demanded you ignore your own eyes, surrender basic common sense, and treat blatant partisan propaganda as sacred scripture.

1. The "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful" Spectacle (CNN, 2020)

Ali Velshi stood in front of towering infernos consuming Kenosha storefronts while the lower-third graphic insisted the scene was "mostly peaceful." The broadcast demanded viewers distrust their own eyes to protect the regime's preferred civil unrest.

2. The Covington Catholic Character Assassination (2019)

Legacy networks selectively sliced footage of teenager Nick Sandmann standing motionless while an activist banged a drum inches from his face. The media branded a quiet high schooler as the face of white supremacy, triggering multi-million dollar defamation settlements once uncut footage destroyed the script.

3. The Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Fable (2019)

Anchors uncritically broadcast an absurd fairy tale featuring sub-zero Chicago temperatures, roving assailants carrying bleach, and an intact noose. Newsrooms substituted basic police reporting with cheap racial melodrama, crowning a mediocre actor a martyr before Chicago police dismantled the fraud.

4. The Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression (2020)

Fifty-one retired intelligence operatives signed a letter laundering genuine domestic corruption as foreign influence. Corporate networks obediently censored the report right before a presidential election, only verifying the laptop years later when political consequences had expired.

5. The Charlottesville "Very Fine People" Deception (2017)

Cable news ran a heavily edited nine-second soundbite to convince the public that a sitting president endorsed white supremacists. They buried the explicit sentence spoken moments later condemning neo-Nazis entirely. Networks weaponized this lie for seven consecutive years.

6. The Border Patrol "Whips" Fabrication (2021)

Anchors and politicians accused mounted border agents of using whips against Haitian migrants along the Rio Grande. Even after the civilian photographer publicly testified that agents used split reins to control horses, the media kept the smear alive to paralyze sovereign enforcement.

7. The Automotive "Bloodbath" Panic (2024)

Commentators clipped a speech analyzing Chinese auto tariffs and manufactured a panic about nationwide political slaughter. Outlets coordinated identical headlines across digital platforms, deliberately deceiving voters to produce cheap campaign fear.
Clip Search: Trump bloodbath auto industry speech full context

8. The Steele Dossier Collusion Hoax (2016 to 2019)

Cable hosts spent years reading unverified opposition research funded by political opponents as sacred scripture. Pundits guaranteed imminent treason indictments on prime-time television, harvesting viewer paranoia to fuel a multi-million-dollar ratings racket built on zero evidence.

9. The "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Myth (2014)

Pundits raised their hands on air to validate an execution narrative that never happened in Ferguson. The federal Justice Department ultimately demolished the story using forensic ballistics, yet networks permanently embedded the fabrication into modern cultural folklore.

10. The Wuhan Lab Leak "Racist Conspiracy" Blackout (2020)

Legacy reporters branded the virology laboratory hypothesis a xenophobic delusion to protect international bureaucracies and federal research grants. Once evidence made the scenario undeniable, the press pivoted without acknowledging their coordinated suppression of scientific inquiry.

These ten hoaxes barely scratch the surface of a decades-long catalog of engineered deception. X has character limits, and modern server infrastructure has physical constraints. Documenting every single fabrication produced by the left-wing press would literally require paving the entire surface of the moon with data centers. The legacy cartel traded its credibility for partisan propaganda, and the American public permanently revoked its trust. The monopoly is broken, the curtain is down, and their authority will never return.

[Afshine Emrani MD FACC @afshineemrani]

I've been a cardiologist for 25+ years. The last 90 days changed medicine more than the last decade, and almost nobody noticed. Here are the 10 biggest AI breakthroughs, and why you should be excited, not afraid 🧵

1/ 37,000 AI agents. One "virtual biotech." It analyzed thousands of trials, figured out which drug targets actually work in humans, and independently proposed a lung cancer strategy that a major pharma company later pursued. AI isn't a search engine anymore. It's a co-scientist.

2/ The first drug discovered AND designed entirely by AI (Insilico's rentosertib) just entered Phase 3. In patients, it reversed biological age by 3–6 years across six different aging clocks. Read that again!

3/ As a cardiologist, this one gives me chills. The FDA authorized "Queen of Hearts," an AI that reads a standard ECG and catches heart attacks, including the hidden ones doctors miss. 2x the sensitivity. Far fewer false alarms. It pages the cardiology team itself. In a heart attack, minutes are muscle.

4/ EchoNext spots 6 types of hidden structural heart disease from a cheap, 10-second ECG, and it does it better than cardiologists. It already flagged a patient who went on to get a heart transplant. Screening that used to need an echo lab now needs a test any clinic can run.

5/ UpDoc is the first FDA-cleared AI that talks directly to patients. It checks in between visits, adjusts insulin within limits the doctor sets, and documents everything in the chart. Chronic disease no longer has to wait for your next appointment.

6/ An autonomous AI agent called MIRA, with full access to medical records, went head-to-head with ER physicians on hundreds of real cases.
AI: 87.8% correct
Doctors: 78.1%
It ordered the tests, read the results, and wrote the plan.

7/ Google released MedGemma 1.5 and MedASR, open medical AI for imaging and clinical speech that anyone can build on. Every hospital. Every researcher. Every country. Open models mean medicine moves at internet speed.

8/ The FDA authorized Aletta, the first robot that draws blood on its own. It gets the vein on the first stick 94–95% of the time, even hard veins. One technician supervises three robots. The most common procedure in medicine just got automated.

9/ UCLA's SLIViT matches specialists on 3D MRI, CT, ultrasound, and retinal scans, and it's 5,000x faster. It isn't a new model for every organ. One architecture reads them all.

10/ The FDA has now authorized 1,600+ AI medical devices. They cover radiology, cardiology, and surgery, including real-time AI that checks breast cancer margins while the patient is still on the table. This isn't coming. It's here.

What this means to you:
→ Drugs that took 10–15 years are showing human results in a fraction of the time
→ Heart attacks get caught on a cheap ECG, not after a collapse
→ Doctors get hours back
→ Patients get answers between visits
→ Aging itself is becoming treatable

This isn't "AI will replace your doctor." It's AI finally becoming good enough that medicine starts to compound. The next 18 months will feel different.

Bookmark this. We're early. Stay positive!!!

[Handre @Handre]

Sweden's socialist experiment nearly killed one of the most productive economies in the world. The Swedes fixed it by reversing course: something the left refuses to do.

By 1993, Sweden's GDP had contracted three years straight. Unemployment hit 12 percent. The welfare state built after World War II had pushed marginal income tax rates above 80 percent, crowded out private investment, and handed bureaucrats control over capital allocation. The state owned or regulated everything that mattered.

Then Sweden cut. Drastically.

Between 1991 and 1994, the center-right Bildt government privatized state enterprises, deregulated financial markets, opened Sweden to foreign competition, and slashed the top marginal tax rate from 87 percent down to 50 percent. The central bank gained independence from politicians in 1999. Corporate tax fell to 28 percent by 1994.

Capital responded immediately. Investment returned. Productivity climbed. By the late 1990s Sweden posted some of the strongest growth in the OECD.

The villain in this story is the Swedish Social Democrats, who spent four decades proving that governments cannot efficiently allocate capital, suppress price signals without distorting behavior, or tax production at confiscatory rates without destroying it. They tried anyway and ended with a collapsing economy by 1991.

The recovery came from property rights, competition, and price signals directing resources toward their most productive uses. Sweden stopped fighting the market, and the market rewarded every Swede who survived the wreckage.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

« Les bonnes personnes ne cherchent pas à contrôler la vie des autres. »

Milei a raison. Et cette phrase résume la seule vraie fracture politique de notre époque.

Il y a deux types de personnes sur Terre.

Les premiers veulent contrôler les autres.

Pas par méchanceté. C'est justement ça le problème. Ils le font parce qu'ils se pensent plus éclairés, plus éduqués, plus vertueux que toi. Ils ont les bonnes valeurs, les bonnes lectures, les bonnes causes. Et puisqu'ils savent ce qui est bon pour toi, pourquoi te laisser choisir ?

Aujourd'hui, ce camp a un visage. Il est le plus souvent à gauche : progressiste, woke, convaincu de sa supériorité morale.

Ce que tu manges. Comment tu te déplaces. Quelle voiture tu as le droit de conduire en ville. Quels mots tu as le droit d'employer. Comment tu élèves tes enfants. Tout devient une question collective, donc politique, donc une question de contrainte.

Et quand la persuasion ne suffit plus, on passe à la coercition. La norme, puis la taxe, puis l'interdiction, puis la sanction. Toujours pour ton bien.

C.S. Lewis disait qu'il préférait vivre sous un baron voleur que sous un moraliste tout-puissant. Le voleur finit par être rassasié. Le moraliste, lui, ne s'arrête jamais, parce qu'il a la conscience tranquille.

Puis il y a les seconds.

Ceux qui ont compris que l'efficacité naît de la liberté.

Hayek l'a démontré : aucun ministère, aucun comité d'experts ne détiendra jamais le savoir dispersé dans la tête de dizaines de millions de personnes. Chacun connaît sa situation, ses contraintes, ses envies mieux que n'importe quel fonctionnaire.

Ça ne veut pas dire l'anarchie. Ça ne veut pas dire zéro règle.

Ça veut dire une chose simple : personne ne devrait dépendre du bon vouloir d'un autre pour gérer sa propre vie.

Le premier camp part d'une certitude : « Je sais ce qui est bon pour toi. »
Le second part d'une humilité : « Je ne sais pas ce qui est bon pour toi, donc c'est à toi de décider. »

Toute la différence est là.
C'est pour ça que l'impôt est un vol. On te prend le fruit de ton travail sans te demander ton avis, et si tu refuses, on vient te chercher.

C'est pour ça que la bureaucratie imposée est une escroquerie. Elle te vend un service que tu n'as pas demandé, au prix qu'elle fixe, avec la qualité qu'elle décide, sans aucun recours.

Regarde la différence.

Si un service privé est mauvais, je pars. Je me désabonne, je change de banque, je change de fournisseur. Il perd mon argent, il doit s'améliorer ou disparaître.

Si un service de l'État est mauvais, je paie quand même. Chaque année. Et plus il empire, plus il réclame de budget.

J'ai le choix de ne pas utiliser un service privé.
Je n'ai pas le choix de ne pas utiliser un service de l'État.

Un client peut partir. Un contribuable ne peut pas.

Et un service qu'on n'a pas le droit de refuser, ce n'est pas un service. C'est un racket.
Alors la prochaine fois que quelqu'un t'explique, avec beaucoup de bienveillance, ce que tu dois penser, manger, dire ou payer, souviens-toi de ça.

Méfie-toi de ceux qui veulent ton bien.
Ils finissent toujours par le vouloir à ta place.
