Grifters exploit the average person’s craving for group identity and become credential gatekeepers. Good leaders set the example and produce tangible results. They are the ones who bring true progress.

[NA Mitchell @NA_Mitchell3]

Most people care more about group affiliation than they do about results. That’s why Builders are not afraid of going against the flow of the masses.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

Credentialism is one of the strangest religions ever invented. A piece of paper signed by the right stranger is treated as evidence of wisdom, while actual results are treated as anecdotal.

It’s what mediocre people build when reality keeps asking for proof of competence.

Societies that consume more than they produce never last. They degenerate into a downward spiral of debauchery, disorder, and poverty.

History offers numerous examples of societies that chose to stop sacrificing and start consuming that which productive people had built. Such societies never last.

Mamdani’s NYC Housing Plan (“Block by Block) will focus on "chronically neglected" buildings with "bad landlords"

He plans to effectively remove negligent owners, and transfer ownership to "responsible stewards" (community land trusts, nonprofits)

Mao Zedong’s Land Reform (1947–1953) property was confiscated and redistributed to "peasants" via "Speak bitterness" meetings and people’s courts

The goal was to destroy the "landlord class" as a feudal remnant, mobilize peasants and consolidate CCP power.

I'm sure the parallels are just a coincidence right?

Greedy, unproductive people will never understand this. They don't want to try to understand this.

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.”

Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible.

Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs.

Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point.
While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide.

Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse.

Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable.
Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization.
Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned.

The lesson is clear.
Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property.
Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning.

The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

Marxism is a pseudo-intellectual justification that resentful, unproductive people use to justify theft.

U.S. Forest Service law enforcement is now asking for the public’s help identifying a group of Indian nationals seen defacing Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona, a sacred Native American site, with furious Americans demanding their immediate deportation.

Communism denies the basic tenets of human nature. Therefore, it can only survive in a coercive environment.

[NA Mitchell @NA_Mitchell3]

The bureaucrats care only about perpetuating the bureaucracy, because that's where they obtain their livelihood and status. They will trample productive, responsible people every chance they get, because they are the biggest threat to the bureaucracy.

[NA Mitchell @NA_Mitchell3]

When you give your own money, you are very selective about where you give it. When bureaucrats give the money they steal from producers, they are not selective at all. The best they can do is follow bureaucratic guidelines which, as we are seeing, are horrendously abused.

The controversy over Cao's hyperbolic statement about needing service members who are "willing to rip out their own guts" shows how ignorant our generation is about the reality of war.

And deceitful headlines show where the media's loyalty lies.

Al-Saadi reportedly said, “Kill everyone who supports America and Israel. Do not leave any of them remaining. Civil and military targets are fair game.”

This is not terrorism. This is war. They have no ROE.

A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat.

The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking."

Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people.

They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down.

Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure.

Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated.

At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?
