@Vega9000 @mapolonio_rb Já percebi que isto é 75% da conta dela. Bons textos, convincentes, persuasivos, mas nem uma clue sobre o que é que tratam.

Final da A1 início da 2 circular encontra-se debaixo de água. Saída da 2 circular para o Campo Grande sentido Sul, igual. Túneis da Av República parcialmente inundados. O de Entrecampos com destroços de automóvel. Não vi Polícia, nem bombeiros. Primeiras chuvas em Lisboa. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Recently I told you there are two kinds of people in this system: cynics and believers.

Ursula von der Leyen, I put her with the believers. And that's exactly why you need to understand how the machine works.

Because cynics are very rare. Soros, I put him in that category: he knows exactly what he's doing, and he has never hidden it.

He read Popper, he has a theory of change, and he understood early on something the right still hasn't figured out: you don't change a society by winning an election. You change it by funding, for thirty years, the people who will write the reports, train the lawyers, and advise whoever wins the elections.

$24 billion spent by Open Society since its creation. More than 50,000 grants. In 2015, he wrote in plain text that the EU must accept at least a million asylum seekers a year, and mobilize NGOs, churches and businesses to take them in.

All of it is public. That's the most impressive part.

Here's how the system got hacked, in three steps.

Step one: selection.

Nobody recruits idiots. No need. The money does the selecting on its own.

A grant never goes to the person who doubts. It goes to the person who already believes. Repeat that over thirty years and tens of thousands of grants, and you get an entire ecosystem where the free thinker was filtered out at the door. He wasn't fired. He just never got funded.

What's left: people who are sincere, credentialed, conformist, and whose paycheck depends on the cause.

Step two: funding manufactures conviction.

Try explaining something to someone whose paycheck depends on not getting it.

The NGO produces a report. The report gets cited by an expert. The expert testifies before the Commission. The Commission turns it into a directive. And the NGO guy ends up in a cabinet, then goes back to a foundation.

Everyone knows each other, cites each other, funds each other. It's an echo chamber with a budget.

Step three: emotion.

You never debate results. You debate intentions.

One photo beats a thousand statistics. Every objection backed by numbers becomes a moral failing. And when reality contradicts the narrative, the dissonance always gets resolved the same way:

"It's a necessary evil."
"It's collateral damage."
"The real problem is elsewhere."
Immigration is never a problem. The problem is your perception.
The result: the system doesn't produce corrupt people. It produces NPCs. People reciting a script while convinced they wrote it themselves.

Ursula doesn't need to be bought. She has spent her entire career in an environment where every expert, every report, every "civil society" group tells her the same thing. She is convinced she's on the side of good. And that's what makes her immune to facts.

And the best part of the story: Soros isn't even the system's biggest funder anymore.

You are.

Between 2021 and 2023, €7.4 billion in EU funds went to more than 12,000 NGOs. The European Court of Auditors itself says it can't get a reliable picture of who gets what.

The hack worked so well that the machine now runs on your taxes.

This is not a conspiracy. A conspiracy hides. Here, the amounts are public, the op-eds are public, the recipients are public.

It's an incentive system. And you don't fight an incentive system by insulting the believers. You fight it by cutting off the tap and demanding total transparency: who funds whom, to say what.

As long as it stays opaque, they'll keep shipping believers at scale.

@romanhelmetguy I dont think andrew yang is that important

[Pedro @ultravioletpet]

@soleio @Object_Zero_ I would say that with the demographic explosion absolute suffering has increased, not diminished.

@Object_Zero_ My precise point being: we already know how to produce abundantly. What we really lack is wisdom. It s a philosophical thing. Nevermind. I really understand and apreciate your original tweet

[Pedro @ultravioletpet]

@Object_Zero_ Yes, I know, I'm taking a devils advocate stance here, but things are not that smooth.

Take a look at this pic here.
There has never been so much slaves in all of History. The suffering is real.

[Pedro @ultravioletpet]

@Object_Zero_ Demographics. I dont think that having 8 on its way to 10B people on the planet is a great progress. A great deal of them try desperately to run away to wealthier countries and do that in unbelievable conditions. I'm just saying. No one s really happy, right?

[Pedro @ultravioletpet]

@Object_Zero_ The world is awash with material goods and richess. Our well being as a species doesnt need more of that. What we need is to figure out liberty and justice for all.

[Pedro @ultravioletpet]

@Object_Zero_ Yes I get your point and I mostly agree. But on the other hand just look at the world, see the unthinkable progress mankind has made in the last century or so, and still there has never been so much discontent, frustration and so on.
