MODERATOR: Are Taiwan in the South China Sea national security issues for the United States?

DARLINE GRAHAM: I’m just going to be honest here, I’m not that informed on National Security so….

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

True

You know what the difference between Republicans and Democrats are when it comes to crazies?

Republicans reject them, Democrats elect them.

Fishback: loser.
Bilzerian: loser.
Massie: loser.

Mamdani: winner.
El-Sayed: winner.
AOC: winner.

@LargeMcGroyper There were 5 contenders in FL-6, and four significant ones, just like in the gubernatorial election. The people are simply more moved by people who look and think and act and talk like them. Mediocre people love mediocrity.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

Dan Bilzerian received a significantly larger share of the vote than James Fishback.
The low-IQ anti-Semite far outperformed the high-IQ anti-Semite.
This is not a good thing.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer I thought he spent 500,000 dollars, but even this points to a problem. If even one tenth of his 180,000 voters gave him 100 dollars each, he would have 1.8 million dollars. But he didn't really have adequate grassroots donor networks.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@ASaneDemocrat Firstly, I never believed that Fishback would win.
Secondly, I'm not praising him at all. That was a lamentable performance.

A Tale of Two Groypers:

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@jiveturkey1024 He received nearly 200,000 votes, from voters who are largely not loyal to the GOP, but would begrudgingly vote for Donalds if Fishback endorsed him. If Fishback deprived Donalds of that, he could sway tens of thousands of votes. He doesn't need to be attractive to Democrats.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

Okay, Fishback lost, but he still managed to pick off 10 percent of the vote. If he mobilizes those people to vote for David Jolly in the general, he could possibly flip the election.
At the very least, I seriously hope he's not foolish enough to endorse Byron.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer I'm not saying that. I'm saying that what Stalin did was good but there are still ways to improve, and the improvement methods are obvious because of the more optimized labor hours of the present day. Stalin did what he had to.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

Fishback's performance is unfathomably bad.

This makes it clearer than ever that the only vehicle to success is through the left.
The right is more committed to free markets than the left is to globalism.
The left will embrace socialism in one country before the right will.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer That's true that they weren't paid adequately. They needed to produce far more than they were well equipped to do. This isn't a problem today, as work production per hour is many times higher due to modern technology.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer Then that which is created over domestic consumption is directed towards public works, exported, stored, etc. Stalin did this in some capacity, but set unreasonably high quotas.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer It's true that the Soviet Union's quota system was probably not the best way to structure it. More effective would be the state hiring the labor, paying the workers for their labor and transportation, and selling it for the exact cost it took to make.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer Stalin had to nationalize agriculture precisely because the "private public partnership" doesn't really work. But it's because the public sector pays higher wages, not because it's less efficient, so workers prefer it. So Stalin collectivized agriculture and the problem was solve

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer The idea of the command economy is that bureaucratic misallocation is dwarfed by the surplus misallocation of the market economy. A command economy will always make some mistakes and misallocate some things, but the elimination of surplus saves more than misallocation wastes.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer Again, the poor infrastructure didn't start until well after Stalin. The infrastructure rapidly deteriorated under Kruschev and Brezhnev, and they didn't bother fixing it. Stalin managed everything extremely well.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@meme_vet00 Fishback lost because he didn't run a traditional right wing free market campaign, but instead ran on intervention in the market, which the free market voters rejected.
How is this hard to understand?

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer The 2 main famines occurred due to collectivization of agriculture (1930s) and WW2 (1940s). After the post war famine subsided, the Soviet Union was extremely successful for some time. And the 1930s Holodomor likely stopped Hitler from starving out the Soviets altogether.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer The Soviet Union was a net exporter of grain under Stalin, and even under Kruschev. There were bread lines during the War, but they didn't come around again until 1970's, and I think that's due to mismanagement from Kruschev and Brezhnev.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer For instance, in the Manhattan Project, it was entirely sponsored by the state. No private industry. The Apollo program was entirely state sponsored. Whenever private enterprises pursue big projects, they wind up being bailed out by the state.

[Wagnerius Rex @WagneriusRex]

@AFschopenhauer I don't think that's necessarily true, considering that Stalin did it, allowing him to successfully win World War 2. Most people have the idea that capitalism is generally more conducive to building and innovating, but I don't think the record really shows that.
