Ludwig von Mises built the intellectual case against central planning so thoroughly that his critics never actually refuted it. They ignored it, mocked it, then watched the Soviet Union collapse in 1991, confirming every word.
His 1920 paper on socialist calculation cut to the bone: without private property and genuine price signals, planners fly blind. Prices carry information no committee can replicate. Kill the market, kill the signal, and you get Soviet bread lines and Venezuelan grocery shelves stripped bare.
Mises lived this. He fled Vienna in 1940 with the Nazis closing in, arrived in New York nearly broke, and rebuilt his career at NYU largely without a paid faculty position. The establishment academia of his era dismissed him because he made their Keynesian comfort too expensive to keep.
Human Action, published in 1949, remains the most comprehensive defense of individual liberty and market order ever written. You live inside an economy shaped by bad ideas Mises systematically destroyed, but nobody told you.

This is why I said you want your VPS ports all closed
Then only let it be accessible inside your Tailscale for SSH and via a Cloudflare Tunnel to receive web traffic
Any Linux box can be taken over with just a single TCP port exposed to the internet now
A stop gap is disabling MPTCP on your VPS now but even better is not having any public ports exposed!

Eu tinha 15 anos quando o Lula foi eleito pela primeira vez.
Hoje eu tenho 39.
Ele continua lá.
Eu cresci ouvindo que o Brasil ia dar certo. Que a fome ia acabar, que a indústria ia voltar, que o filho do pobre ia virar doutor.
O que eu vi foi outra coisa.
Vi a mediocridade virar projeto econômico.
Vi a corrupção virar método de governo.
Vi a indústria virar saudade.
E vi o assistencialismo virar certidão de nascimento.
Bolsa Família era pra ser porta de entrada. Virou sala de espera eterna. 3 milhões de famílias em 2003. 21 milhões hoje. Geração inteira que nasceu, cresceu e já tem filho no mesmo cadastro.
E o pior: nos ensinaram que isso é sucesso.
Não é o Bolsonaro o problema. Já foi o Serra. Já foi o Alckmin. Já foi o Aécio. Daqui a pouco inventam outro monstro. Porque enquanto tiver um vilão pra odiar, ninguém precisa explicar por que depois de 24 anos, 5 mandatos e trilhões em impostos, o Brasil continua produzindo soja e importando máquina.
Eu não sou anti-pobre. Eu sou filho de pobre que estudou, trabalhou, pagou imposto e se recusa a achar normal ser medíocre.
Minha geração não perdeu porque não tentou. Perdeu porque foi governada por quem lucra com a nossa estagnação.
Eu tenho 39 anos. Não tenho mais 15 pra acreditar em salvador da pátria.
Eu quero um país que produza. Não um país que distribui miséria e chama de justiça social.

You may have heard about Brazil, Flavio Bolsonaro, and Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who ordered his passport seized minutes after he lost the runoff. On Wednesday, Flavio landed in Miami.
What you probably don't know is that this story didn't start this week. Not even this year. We spoke at length with Brazilians to reconstruct what happened to their country.
What we found: a tax audit that reached two justices' homes. An inquiry the Court opened to police its own critics. A banned social network. A banker whose parties, investigators say, flew in women from Europe for politicians, and who texted Alexandre de Moraes on the day of his arrest. 🧵

Só há duas possibilidades de explicação para isso:
1. Tivemos a maior fraude da história das eleições no Brasil. Os votos que migrariam para Flávio foram jogados para Lula dentro da urna: você apertava 22 e um algoritmo transformava 70% desses votos em 13 (o que faria o boletim de urna bater com os dados do TSE).
2. A campanha de Lula no segundo turno foi a mais bem-sucedida da história da humanidade, ao mesmo tempo em que foi também silenciosa, a ponto de nenhum instituto de pesquisa, nem a campanha de Flávio, nem mesmo a própria campanha de Lula terem sido capazes de captar a anomalia estatística dessa migração de votos sem precedentes.
It is now getting us software engineers, is it not?

I understood this by intuition, seeing it in graphs is amazing. I wonder how Milei would compare against Argentina previous regime.

Vamos ser simples: é um ultraje que qualquer um no Brasil esteja sendo investigado e/ou preso enquanto Alexandre de Moraes não está nem investigado, quanto mais preso. Como no Brasil ninguém leva nada a sério, ele está inclusive mandando prender gente.
As instituições brasileiras não têm autoridade para nada. Discutir Flávio, Lula, Miller Tomaz, Lulinha ou qualquer outra coisa antes de Moraes é ofender a inteligência do povo brasileiro.
Quando o Estado não segue a lei, não tem mais lei.
Tem gente falando que o Flávio Bolsonaro é criminoso. Saibam que é contra a lei tirar passaporte de quem ainda é só investigado. Dezenas de políticos de esquerda fugiram da ditadura de direita nos anos 70. Agora a perseguição do Flávio só é mais uma prova de início de ditadura.
For those who decided to invent some bizarre new authoritarian law-and-order rule today to justify Moraes' ban on Bolsonaro leaving the country -- that if you're under investigation (without even being charged), it's normal to have your passport seized -- please note:
Lula's son is engulfed in several major financial scandals and investigations relating to lobbyist corruption. His passport has never been seized or cancelled. In fact, he left Brazil to go live in extreme luxury in Spain (in the same neighborhood where several of the world's highest-paid soccer players live), where nobody can explain the source of what appears to be his great wealth.
Countless rich and powerful people in Brazil, including Lula's allies, are under investigation yet freely leave the country when they want: jetting off to Dubai, France, wherever. Truly bizarre how some on the left start fabricating extremist police powers when it suits them.

Brazilian authorities and media are trying to find out where Flavio Bolsonaro is.
Brazil's notorious authoritarian Judge Alexandre de Moraes -- before the votes were counted -- already had an order prepared to seize Bolsonaro's passports and bar him from leaving the country even though **he's been charged with no crime** (there are various pending financial investigations). Moraes signed the order barring Bolsonaro from leaving Brazil SEVEN MINUTES after Lula was declared the winner on Sunday night.
A media outlet in Argentina this morning reported that Bolsonaro entered Argentina to fly to the US. His friends and allies deny this, but Flavio could easily just appear in Brazil or even by video and has not done so. Argentina is being sketchy, evasive and somewhat uncooperative with Brazil's federal police (Lula and Milei are obviously not allies).
Whatever else is true, it is not exactly a sign of a healthy, normal or functioning democracy when the candidate who narrowly loses a presidential race -- and concedes defeat -- is suddenly barred from leaving the country by a Supreme Court Judge now globally notorious for censoring, imprisoning and otherwise persecuting his critics and opponents of Lula's government. It is also worth noting that Bolsonaro's party dominates the Senate, having run on a vow to impeach Moraes, and this is seen by many as a kind of leverage/hostage ploy by Moraes to cling to power.

Este vídeo também explica em parte o que ocorreu na eleição de ontem. O vídeo é do ano 2000 e o ator do filme morreu dois anos depois.

It looks like Brazil is finding out:
You can vote your way into communism, but you can't vote your way out.

DITO ISSO, fica novamente os parabéns para o craque do jogo, o articulador de tudo isso, o arquiteto do desastre: bolsonaro pai. que podia ter botado tarcisio ou qualquer outro que venceria com folga lula, mas preferiu botar o filho, e o filho mais vagabundo deles, pq colocou a própria anistia acima do país.

Maybe important to repost this now that everyone is getting hacked
If you have a VPS, I recommend you to get if off the public internet and into a Tailscale network and Cloudflare Tunnel ASAP
It doesn't matter you have SSH key login, this is about exploits and vulnerabilities AI is finding
There's 2 ways into a VPS:
- via your site/app (like the PHP exploit of this week with a file upload hack)
- via your server (like hacking into SSH or some open port)
The site/app side you put on a Cloudflare Tunnel and then with the default Free Plan it has WAF security enabled by default and they jump on new security exploits fast, it means that the only way to reach your website is via the Cloudflare Tunnel, your server does not respond to port 80 or 443 anymore
The server side you put on a Tailscale network which is like your own private network that nobody can access but your own devices (like your laptop, your phone and your VPS) kinda like a VPN
Then you switch off ANY regular access to your VPS on the firewall, in my case I use Hetzner and you create a new firewall then empty it and that blocks everything (test it)
How do Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnel get in then? They don't. They go outbound. They make a tunnel to outside which sends and receives
Now you've reduced your attack vector to Tailscale and your Cloudflare Tunnel, much safer, not perfect btw, but nothing is
When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP
That way nobody can get in
I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS
So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in
Why?
A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it
You want to only have it accessible to you
And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts
Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web
I won't say I instantly agree with this video. But it is a piece that makes me think about it. Makes me want to fact-check it. It is for sure an interesting and intriguing watch.

Gosto muito dessa palestra do Ciro pq ele conta os bastidores do que o Lula fez contra ele durante 25 anos.
Sei que os Lulistas não irão gostar NENHUM POUCO desse vídeo pq desconstrói o Lula até pra OSSO.
Não vejo a hora dele falar sobre o 2 turno dessa eleição.

De cada R$ 100 que o Brasil produz, R$ 61 passam pelo Estado e sobram R$ 39 na mão de quem produziu.
Rothbard nunca aceitou o PIB como medida de prosperidade, porque a conta soma o gasto do governo como se fosse produto. Ele propôs o PPR (Private Product Remaining), que tira do PIB 2 coisas - o produto do próprio governo, que ninguém compra voluntariamente, e a depredação, que é o maior valor entre o que o governo gasta e o que arrecada, porque o que ele gasta além da receita sai do mesmo setor privado via dívida.
Apliquei ao Brasil de 2005 a 2025. No papel o país cresceu muito - o PIB per capita foi de R$ 11,7 mil pra R$ 59,7 mil, +410% em 20 anos. Descontada a inflação, o crescimento real foi de 32%, e tudo isso aconteceu até 2013. De 2013 pra cá foram 4% em 12 anos.
O PPR per capita, que é o que sobra depois do Estado, era R$ 26,5 mil em 2013 e hoje é R$ 23,5 mil, queda de 11%. É o mesmo valor de 2008, ou seja, quem produz no Brasil está há 17 anos no mesmo lugar, enquanto a fatia do Estado subiu de 55% pra 61% do PIB. 🔥
O PIB per capita subiu 410% e o PPR per capita voltou pra 2008. 🤡
