Academia concentrates intellectuals because it’s a low accountability bubble where bad ideas like socialism thrive.

According to Thomas Sowell, intellectuals produce ideas judged only by peers.
An engineer’s collapsed building ruins him and a businessman’s flop means bankruptcy.
But if an intellectual’s grand social scheme fails disastrously, he pays no price for being wrong, thanks to tenure and echo chambers.

And according to Ludwig von Mises, capitalism rewards those who serve consumers.
Many intellectuals resent this.
Their ambitions are frustrated, so they retreat to academia/government to denounce the “system” that didn’t crown them, subsidized by the markets they hate.

They excel at abstractions and peer validation, not reality tests.

And the result is a self-selecting club where sounding smart to colleagues takes precedence over delivering results that work for real people.

Because the real world is harsher, and a lot more honest.

[Margaret Thatcher @realmrsthatcher]

We've been ruled by men who live by illusions:

—The illusion that you can spend money you haven't earned without eventually going bankrupt or falling into the hands of your creditors;

—The illusion that real jobs can be conjured into existence by government decree like rabbits out of a hat;

—The illusion that there is some other way of creating wealth than by hard work and satisfying your customers;

—The illusion that you can have freedom and enterprise without believing in free enterprise.

I spoke with @Raphfel about Sharia, assimilation, and intolerant ideologies. Can the West defend itself if it pretends destructive belief systems become harmless after crossing a border?

Just hang it up @AmnestyUK your on the side of tyranny now.

If the Secretary of State responsible for social media regulation and oversight says X/Twitter "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities" she should take more decisive action - not just leave the platform. 1/6 🧵

His father once told him, “Son, farming is in your blood.” 🌾

He believed it with everything he had.

At 26 he took over the family farm — young, hopeful, and ready to work harder than anyone who came before him.

He kept that promise for fifteen years.
Now he’s 41 and looks a decade older.

His hands are split and calloused from the cold. His back seizes up every morning before the day even starts. He’s missed birthdays, school plays, family dinners and anniversaries that can never be replayed.

Every Sunday night his wife does the accounts at the kitchen table.
Last Sunday she sat there for a long time without speaking.

Then she looked up.

“We’re forty thousand pounds down this year.”

After fifteen years of early mornings and late nights, diesel has doubled, fertiliser is up 60%, electricity has tripled… and the price he receives for his wheat is almost exactly what it was in 2015.

He is not lazy.
He is not incompetent.
He is not failing.

The system is failing him.
And every Sunday night his wife still sits at that same table, staring at numbers that only ever seem to get worse.

How long before Britain loses an entire generation of farmers who simply can’t afford to carry on?

Carl Jung's Five Warnings About How Free Men Become Slaves

1. Reason only works until people get scared enough.

"Rational argument can be conducted with some prospect of success only so long as the emotionality of a given situation does not exceed a certain critical degree. If the affective temperature rises above this level, the possibility of reason's having any effect ceases and its place is taken by slogans and chimerical wish-fantasies."

2. The most dangerous people look completely normal.

"For every manifest case of insanity there are, in my estimation, at least ten latent cases who seldom get to the point of breaking out openly but whose views and behaviour, for all their appearance of normality, are influenced by unconsciously morbid and perverse factors."

3. You don't actually know yourself — and tyrants exploit that.

"In this broad belt of unconsciousness, which is immune to conscious criticism and control, we stand defenseless, open to all kinds of influences and psychic infections."

4. When people lose God, they make the State their god.

"The State has taken the place of God; that is why, seen from this angle, the socialist dictatorships are religions and State slavery is a form of worship."

5. The only real defence is becoming someone the crowd can't dissolve.

"Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself."

As he warned, “where love stops, power begins, and violence, and terror.”

Financial expert puts it plainly:

“We’re probably in a hard time here in Australia.

When you look at our real GDP, it’s minimal, I think it was 0.3% last quarter.

And from a per capita basis, we are in recession.

So what is propping our economy up currently is immigration.”

This has been going on for years - immigration without productivity growth drives prices up and living standards down.

This is the only type of economic growth this government knows - the type that makes life worse for the people already here.

Hey @Channel9 so desperate to cover for your rapist friends you sack anyone who does a real interview.
Maybe give up the news business if you just want to lie about crime.

We are breaking historic records in economic growth. Even our worst quarter outperformed the historical average of the last 100 years of socialist catastrophe.
LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!

@frankwrighter @paulpowlesland This is the most infuriating story. It perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with our modern society.
Criminalising nature restoration is an amazing practice for an environmental protection agency.

🚨

9 months until the NSW election (13 March 2027).

Polling out today suggests this election is competitive.

We can make the Minns Government the first since 1930 to be a one term government.

Key point is this: the left have trained their voters of the critical importance of preferencing other parties on the left. Right-wingers are far less likely to preference ... and if we keep doing that, we will have long term Labor Governments.

NSW is the only state where preferencing is optional ... so the number one factor in this coming NSW election is whether right of centre voters give their vote maximum power by preferencing five to six parties on the right?

Reparations now

[Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 @ezralevant]

Muslims kidnapped the entire village of Baltimore, Ireland, and took every man, woman, child and baby to Algiers to be sold as slaves.

The men were put to work and castrated, the women were used as rape slaves.

Leftists keep telling me to blame billionaires but it wasn't Gina Rinehart who broke into my car and stole my wallet and it wasn't Elon who broke into my cousin's house and held him at knife point in his own room at midnight.

The problem is not the top 1% - the problem is the bottom 1%. We have a violent and unhinged criminal class - there are 500 people in Sydney, 500 people in Melbourne and 500 people in Brisbane who are responsible for 90% of violent crime in each city and we could just simply smash them tomorrow.
