In 2026 ‘socialists’ don’t want central planning or to seize the means of production. (They don’t want real socialism.)
What they want is $175k a year NGO sinecures and welfare entitlements that used to be restricted to the underclass.
Do you think a 7th year ‘sociology PhD student’ wants to manage industrial production?
Lol, no, these people are too retarded and lazy and even if they weren’t they’re so entitled it’s their expectation that all this work will just magically be done by others.
It’s important to understand what their actual project is: they’re not trying to renegotiate important matters of political economy - what they want is public funding of semi-affluent urban living that’s out of reach for them.
A lot of the ‘socialist’ set pieces and theater kid ideological performance art are in service of obscuring the premise and true objectives of their political project which would humiliating to have to openly articulate. So, you have this pastiche of ‘socialism’ which, while malevolent and overflowing with ill intent, is more marketing and nostalgia than anything relating to the 20th century economic and political project that goes by the same name.
The communist doesn’t think to increase the quality of the grid. The communist demands that you decrease the quality of your life.
They make you ration the things that every other American gets to enjoy. Every single time.
Everyone should be terrified that many Democrats are openly embracing a broken and economically illiterate ideology that destroyed countless countries and led to the death of over 100 million people in the 20th century.
Rousseau: Man is born free but everywhere is in chains.
Marx: Man is born free but everywhere jobs.
Feminists: Woman is born free but everywhere men.
CRT: POC are born free (like Rousseau said) but everywhere wipipo.
Queer: Queers are born free but everywhere normality.
USAID: The data show that dismantling USAID did not result in ANY increase in African mortality much less the four million Democrats claim Elon Musk is responsible for killing. It was all a lie. In fact, the UNAIDS/SAMRC data show that mortality declined after.

David is aware that his old client, Barack Obama, actually spied on his democratically elected successor and was involved in a dubious operation to falsely claim he treasonously colluded with a hostile foreign power, yes? That plot unraveling has barely been covered!
Yes and there is nothing wrong with that.
“People much more talented than myself add oversized benefits to the nation, while another million people similar in capacity to myself will just increase the labor pool in which I must compete” is a perfectly rational opinion.
They're not freezing your rent, they're freezing your housing providers' income, while their expenses keep increasing.
The point isn't to make your housing affordable, it's to make providing housing financially inviable, so government(s) can seize the unmanageable properties.
Our lack of financial literacy is going to destroy us.

From time to time, I go back to this NBC News report of a wealthy single childless white liberal female college professor in Boston named Lisa who takes in a Haitian refugee couple. She treats the woman as her personal chef and the husband as her handyman.
Lisa gets to live out her secret fantasy of experiencing what the Antebellum South was like. There are many white women like Lisa with their very own slaves.
This is why they’re so mad about today’s SCOTUS decision.
How did liberals ever earn the reputation that they were a curious or intellectual people.
I have never in my life seen a group so devoid of intellectual curiosity than these people. Not once when their preconceived notions are challenged do they sit down and try to understand where the challenge comes from.
It's not simply that JPMorgan, a legacy corporation with the highest standards, hired an obese Latina who should have been collecting welfare (or garbage) to be their DEI executive and paid her ~300k a year for the privilege, only to be forced to fire her later when they were humiliated by a viral video
It's that women like this are everywhere. They are administrators, judges, heads of state. They running western society. You have to understand this in order to understand anything else.
It's pretty obvious at this point that being right-wing boils down to observing reality and stating it plainly
Leftism is the denial of reality in service of delusional utopian fantasies, peak retardation, and degeneracy
At this point the right wing is saying "let's jail criminals and deport illegals and only let citizens vote" which are 3 of the most basic, non-controversial things a nation can do and the left wing is saying "absolutely not" and the entire political divide goes from there.
In the span of 24 hours, a federal judge ruled that a governor can’t be investigated for helping illegal aliens stealing taxpayer money evade the law.
Then a foreign-born judge named Sparkle ruled the government can’t verify whether those same illegal aliens are voting illegally.
Then another judge ruled taxpayers must buy illegal aliens and their anchor babies all the junk food they can cram into their shopping carts.
That happened. In that order.
We can either have a country or out-of-control judges, but we can’t have both.
Cannot make this up, either.
@nytimes opinion has had four recent pieces about fatherhood and masculinity, with six authors:
Three women
A trans "man"
Two childless men
Not one father. The cultural elite contempt for dads runs so deep we don't even get to speak for ourselves.
161 years ago, Republican President Abraham Lincoln and a Republican Congress freed the slaves from the Democrat Party that fought tooth and nail to keep them in chains.
Democrats started the Civil War to preserve slavery. Democrats founded the KKK. Democrats passed Jim Crow laws. Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
Today if you are celebrating Juneteenth, don’t forget to thank Republicans!

And for the record. Those morons still hanging onto the 2020 steal, “60 courts dismissed the cases” canard — the intellectual crutch of people who’ve never actually read a single one of those rulings.
Let me dismantle this for the slow kids in the back.
