@thekevinjon These posts are just false. Ukrainian extremists smashed my brother’s mouth in the center of Warsaw. Warsaw may be safer than the average country in EU, but not super safe. There are also people who stole my own AirPods under the cameras in the bank branch in the city center too.
Two people applying equal effort can experience radically different outcomes because one environment compounds their effort while the other absorbs it.
ChatGPT correcting me, saying that the text is perfect, except one important point: hyphen should be replaced with an em-dash. Thanks to @OpenAI for this valuable correction. I can't 🤣
@BlockheadQQ Far behind, better trajectory. My metric is agency: can my effort matter or it's all hopeless? The game is rigged here too, but effort still counts. And you feel accepted here, not scapegoated.
We’ve arrived: 100% tax. Basic income for food. Total surveillance.
Masses: fed, monitored, caged. Zoo prisoners.
Political class: exempt.
It’s not the future. It’s over.
No escape from this Alcatraz.

@BlockheadQQ Still holds. Argentina trails the EU, but its trajectory is better. Not an all-in bet, but a great hedge. Dubai wins on many metrics, just not mine right now. Perfect timing.
JD Vance on the housing crisis: "In some ways, Joe, the game is rigged."
JD Vance tells Rogan about an engineer out-earning 90% of her generation who sees literally what her parents had as unachievable.
He gives an example of Oceanside, San Diego once full of enlisted Marines' kids where every house is now north of a million dollars.
His warning to Republicans: "Socialism is the alternative" if the dream stays out of reach.
The housing crisis has reached the point where working harder than most of your generation no longer buys what one enlisted salary used to. Whichever party offers a credible way back owns the priced-out generation.
Correct. Effort does not matter anymore. Work hard -> get punished. Do nothing -> get helped. You work -> they print money. Then you pay tax to them again. Then if you are unlucky your money in a bank -> gets frozen. You did no wrong. The system was rigged before you were born.
JD Vance says Republicans helped create the conditions that fueled the rise of socialism in America.
He warns that unless Republicans recognize this, America will elect a socialist president in the future.
“Does the socialism thing scare me? Yes.”
“Is it the wrong solution? Yes.”
“Socialism is the alternative if we don’t have a pathway to give people a sense that the system is not rigged and that the American dream is attainable.”
“We ran the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, becoming a services and finance economy, and allowing Wall Street to buy every asset of modern life.”
“What has that done?”
“It’s created a generation of kids who are attracted to socialism.”
Make the world unstable: impose sanctions, start wars, raise tariffs, build walls, and support people killing each other behind them.
Make the world stable: and charge 20% of everyone’s wealth per year: issue USD and print away its value.
Repeat. Profit.
Unplanned Childlessness is the dominant trend of our times.
A huge new UN survey concluded that 72% of women and 80% of men aged 35-39 without kids still want them – and that tendency is global.
“From my own research, most won’t get the chance – and many people who no longer dream of having a family actually once did.” — @StephenJShaw

The EU’s 'age verification' app forces everyone onto Android or iOS. To 'protect' children they don’t have.
1984, twice.
You’re definitely NOT a slave to bureaucrats.
