Louis Philippe II embraced the French Revolution completely. He renounced his title, changed his name to “Philippe Égalité,” and voted to execute his own cousin, the king.

The Revolution executed him anyway.

Revolutionary systems do not stabilize. They radicalize.

@benshapiro China would LOVE to see our government have controlling stakes - and that is what Bernie is talking about. It is not about ownership, but control.

@elonmusk The British Government lost the right to rule when it went public that it knew for decades that Pakastani grooming gangs were prostituting thousands of underage British girls, and that it put not looking Islamaphobic ahead of protecting those girls.

They let it continue.

Gerrymandering is not the disease. It is a symptom.

The real issue is legitimacy. Both parties increasingly believe the other side is too dangerous to govern, so process gives way to power.

That is how republics crack.

Most abortion arguments are built around euphemism.

We use phrases like pro-choice, pro-life, women’s health, and reproductive rights to avoid what we are really debating: under what conditions is the intentional ending of a developing human life justified?

The moral framework already exists.
We call it justifiable homicide.

The Law of Moses isn’t brutal. It’s misunderstood.
People confuse moral law with civil and ceremonial law—then use that confusion to attack Biblical morality.
Now we’re making the same mistake at the national level.
A man can turn the other cheek.
A nation cannot.
When governments adopt personal morality as policy, they don’t become compassionate—they become weak.
That weakness invites chaos, aggression, and collapse.
Europe is already showing us how this ends.

Let me make not a counter argument, but an agreeing counter point.

We think of taxation too much in terms of fairness and too little in terms of return on investment. Giving someone with nothing money is not an investment so much as an allowance.

If you want to invest in people you have to do so in ways that actually better their lives, such as in educating them, and even here the private sector, when allowed, beats the public sector.

I don't want you to pay more in taxes. I want you to open a Musk Academy that helps teach the next generation of entrepreneurs, and if I were a bureaucrat I would offer tax incentives for you to do so.

@PatriciaHeaton That's great advice.

@PaperbagPatriot @udreams30 If people knew how bad the graft is, we'd have another revolution, but both sides accuse the other and then tolerate it from their side because they believe the other side does it too.

@udreams30 Thank you for sharing!

Free markets work, but nobody controls them. Those who seek control thus hate free markets, and make an unholy alliance with those who hate responsibility to destroy them.

Evil does not promise ruin. It promises 'free.' Ruin is simply the result.

Socialists always blame free nations for the failings of socialist ones, as if the purpose of a free people is to support enslaved ones. That argument is absurd on its face, but only if you use logic. It is easier to argue from emotion, comparing functional systems to utopian visions no actual system can achieve in order to tear functional systems down.

Understand that labor is the biggest piece of the 'means of prodiction,' such that in a truly socialist system, the government does not serve the people.

It owns them.

And that is the point.

@ImJustDebi @udreams30 They don't finance Hamas OR Qatar. That's Anti-Semitic dribble.

[Wallace Garneau @wgarneau]

@ImJustDebi @udreams30 Israel does not target civilians or civilian areas, but Hamas uses civilians as shields, making it impossible to fight them without civilian casualties.

[Wallace Garneau @wgarneau]

@ImJustDebi @udreams30 That's a good question. Iran bombed them before they allowed us to use their airspace. Also, Iran is focusing on civilian targets.

[Wallace Garneau @wgarneau]

@ImJustDebi @udreams30 Iran is currently bombing its neighboring countries.

[Wallace Garneau @wgarneau]

@udreams30 Thank you

Everyone knows the system is broken. Almost nobody understands why.

Meet Jamie.

She knows the system is wasteful. She knows it’s abused. She gets benefits she is not qualified for.

Why?

Because she gets the benefit and someone else pays the cost.

Scale that across millions and you don’t get reform. You get collapse.

This may be my most important podcast episode in some time. This war is not a mistake. It is a necessity.

Join me on an important episode of Cutting Through the Chaos.
