Cartoon capitalism: A fat man, smoking a cigar, hoarding wealth while workers sweat.
Real world capitalism: An entrepreneur, working crazy hours, risking her own money, to provide goods or services others want, while investing profits back into her business.
Being fat isn’t your fault.
Getting pregnant as a teen isn’t your fault.
Flunking out of high school isn’t your fault.
Having STDs isn’t your fault.
But having an ancestor half a millennium ago whose feudal lord owned a slave, that’s totally on you.
Those who want Elon Musk to run for President are under the misconception that working as a politician is more important than working as an entrepreneur and industrialist.
Musk is creating more value by his work now than he ever could as a mere politician.
That moment when you’re a working-class communist millionaire but you have to wait for the maid to finish making your bed so you can continue to Imagine no possessions.
Putin waited until the West was weakly led, low on patriotism and manhood, with a media obsessed over domestic trivialities, and politicians with a penchant for waging war on their own citizens.
Perfect timing.
Social Justice Warriors are not working class heroes. They are bourgeois arts graduates with no aptitude for science or business, who feel bitter at the large disparity between their high self-evaluation and their low prospects.
We’ve confused actors with heroes, currency with wealth, diplomas with intelligence, propaganda with news, indoctrination with education, demands with rights, tyrants with leaders, conformity with diversity, and slander with debate.
It’s a fake world.
Ladies, if he:
- never works
- scrounges off his rich friends
- want to be “a writer”
- makes you do his housework
- forces you to have sex
- gets you pregnant
- throws you out of the house
He’s not your man. He’s Karl Marx.
In 1979 John Cleese makes an entire film mocking the life of Christ.
The Left: “Hurahhhhh for free speech!”
In 2019 John Cleese makes a single, short tweet about London that challenges multicultural orthodoxy.
The Left: “Boooooo, censor him!”
Tax isn’t just 40% of your money.
That’s 40% of your time, your effort, your skills, your knowledge, your imagination, your willpower, ambitions, your hope, your plans, your creativity, your experience, your life force.
Taxation is 40% of you.
Isn’t it weird how the solution to both a virus and climate change is the same i.e. handing over your wealth and liberty to global governments at an unprecedented scale?
What. A. Coincidence.
Wokeism makes women ugly, men weak, children confused, businesses broke, entertainers boring, schools dumb, scientists cowardly, activists rich, journalists unbelievable, and politicians interchangeable.
Lessons I’ve learned from Brexit:
1/ The mainstream parties are all the same.
2/ The establishment rules, not the people.
3/ An EU empire is not a conspiracy theory.
4/ Politicians believe they rule without a mandate.
5/ Voting is a waste of time.
Venezuela isn’t *real* socialism.
@MrAndyNgo
isn’t a *real* journalist.
Black conservatives aren’t *real* blacks.
Jihadists aren’t *real* Muslims.
Trump isn’t a *real* president.
But a man in a dress with gender identity disorder, that’s a *real* women.
Never mind ‘mansplaining’, what about the problem of wokesplaining?
It’s when white, middle class, champagne socialists tell black people and other minorities how they are *really* oppressed and victimised when these minorities feel no such thing.
Capitalism is a system for adults because it promotes independence, resilience and responsibility.
Socialism is a system for kidults because it promotes dependence, obedience to authority and actions without consequences.
Our top story - Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has urged anyone who hears family members or neighbours claiming Ireland is turning into a police state, to report them immediately to the Gardaí.
Why do we need a Government?
“People are bad.”
And who will run the Government?
“People.”
And who will stop those people from being bad?
“Laws.”
And who will create and enforce those laws?
“People.”
Come back when you’ve thought this through.
@OrgPhysics
Imagine a world is ruled by those with expertise in a very narrow area of a narrow field in a single subject, who imagine this gives them expertise in everything.
@JohnathanPerk
Then why not just say “Women are women”?
Oh, that’s right, you can’t, because the “trans” part means they’re something other than women.
Your statement is self-referentially incoherent.
@lorraine_luv1
(1) It tastes nice. (2) There’s plenty of it. (3) My teeth show I was born to eat it. (4) It’s a human tradition. (5) It doesn’t need justification. (6) It’s not illegal. (7) Vegetarian food is boring. (8) Mind your own business.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Give a socialist a fish and he’ll make it a human right, vote for himself, point a gun at you and demand that you produce more fish, while taxing your rod and confiscating 40% of your bait.
Weather has become “the climate”.
The EU has become “Europe”.
Society has become “the State”.
Taxes have become “investment”.
Diverse opinions have become “hate”.
National Socialists have become “far right”.
Reds have become “green”.
Mind your language
Every wildlife show on TV is now a sermon about climate change.
Every soap opera is now a sermon for woke causes.
Every comedy show now is a sermon for Leftist politics.
Every news channel now is overt propaganda without even a fig leaf of objectivity.
Under capitalism, the rich get richer and the poor get richer.
Under socialism, the rich get poorer and the poor get poorer.
Under crony capitalism, corporatism and protectionism, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day.
Elect a man to fish for you, and all of a sudden fishing becomes some mystical function that only a few elite in society can perform, at great expense to the rest of it.
2 + 2 = 5
Morbidly obese women = beautiful
A loving, hard working family = privilege
Managing your own money = greed
A castrated, mentally ill man = woman
Appropriating stuff you never owned = redistribution
Whatever you feel like = rights
The woke only oppose Hitler for his racism, not for his authoritarianism, his totalitarianism, his mass surveillance, his censorship, or his socialism.
In other words, the woke agree with Hitler more than they disagree with him.
Nazis are fascists; not all fascists are Nazis.
Fascism is a theory about the State, not about racial superiority.
Fascism is the primacy of the State over business, banking, broadcasting, education, charity, healthcare & public discourse.
Sound familiar?
The sight of white leftists calling
#ClarenceThomas
a “house n*gg*r” precisely because he won’t follow their orders and conform to their stereotypes is irony on a level that would make even Socrates, Cervantes and Shakespeare blush.
