A free market is nothing more than the process of millions of individuals, each with his own needs and desires, freely interacting and exchanging goods and services with others. No central planner, human or non-human, can morally or practically replicate that process. #economics
1950s: "Cigarettes are perfectly fine. More doctors smoke this brand than any other."
1960s: "Sugar is not the culprit in heart disease. Fat is." (quietly paid for by the sugar industry.)
1970s: "Build every meal around bread, cereal and starch. Cut the animal fat."
1980s: "The egg is a loaded weapon. Two a week, no more."
1990s: "Margarine is the heart-smart choice. Spread it thick."
2000s: "Fuel yourself on low-fat everything and a gel made of sugar."
2010s: "Actually, eat the butter and the whole egg. Our mistake."
Every one of those was the settled science of its decade.
Every one was retracted by the decade that came after it.
The people who sold you the first line were never the ones who admitted it was wrong.
The science was settled every single time.
A Moroccan player makes a throat-slitting gesture while shouting “Allahu Akbar” after scoring a goal, directly enacting Quranic verses about striking the necks of infidels.
They just have to turn everything into their religious war against non-Muslims. Zero sportsmanship.
“The individual is nothing; the collective is everything.” – Stalin
“The interests of the individual must be subordinated to the interests of the collective.” – Mao
“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.” – Mussolini
“We’ll replace rugged individualism with collectivism” – Mamdani
Same bullshit, different day. This is the same filthy authoritarian cancer, just rebranded in slick new liberal retard packaging.
“Islam has a problem with gays, democracy, bacon, dogs, music, Christmas, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, women who show their hair, people who leave their religion, and even people who draw pictures of their prophet, who, by the way, married a six-year-old. But if I have a problem with Islam, for some reason, I'm an Islamophobe.”
Mass immigration makes Americans poorer.
Fraudsters stealing our money make Americans poorer.
Suicidal green energy policies make Americans poorer.
Heavy regulatory burdens make Americans poorer.
You know what doesn't? Elon Musk being a trillionaire.
🚨🇫🇷 NEWS: A French woman was given a six month suspended sentence and a €3,000 fine after her home was invaded by a Tunisian migrant who sexually assaulted her.
She appeared on national television to discuss her ordeal and said "the main danger for women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men"
The Police then charged her with "incitement to racial hatred"
Her appeal against this punishment is due later today
You have our support @ThaisEscufon 🙏
Elon Musk:”You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own. And what does it get spent on? A bunch of stuff you don’t even agree with.
That’s why we need to reduce the size of government, spend less money and let the people keep a lot more of their hard-earned money.”
Europeans and American patriots!
Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.”
Meanwhile, my own attacker, a Tunisian migrant, is still at large.
I need your help to generate media pressure and hope to be acquitted.
They cannot silence the truth!
Thank you for your support 💪🏻🇫🇷
Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.
Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.
Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.
Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.
Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.
La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.
Black pilot, West Point graduate, and combat veteran Wesley Hunt delivered a masterclass response:
“Hey Jasmine… Black pilot here.
I graduated from West Point. I went through Army flight school. I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache. I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color. Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Suggesting that Black pilots, engineers, doctors, or leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard. I wanted the same standard.”
He ended with a powerful line:
“Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory. And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.”
This is the kind of clarity and backbone America needs right now.
Last year DOJ published a report.
For every 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed by a black person each year against a white person.
The same figure for violent crimes committed by whites against a black person: 3.4.
A black person is 50-times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white person than for a white person to commit a violent crime against a black person.
This is an extraordinary difference in the rates of violence committed between these two groups.
We are told that whites are systemically racist.
We are told that whites are successful because they oppress others.
But the facts tell the opposite story.
Blacks are not the ones being victimized.
Whites are.
Western civilization has been successful not because it was oppressive.
It has been successful because whites created, starting thousands of years ago, systems that are impartial and fair.
Today these systems are being dismantled.
Criminals are being released because of their skin color.
Law-abiding citizens are punished because of theirs.
All in service of an ideology that is simply false.
This puts everyone in danger.
