Jeremiah is my name.
Expanding the govt to fight undeclared wars on the other side of the planet is not constitutional, nor capitalists, nor promotes liberty.
Commies have trouble with definitions
I’ve dedicated my entire politically aware life for 40+ years to promote Liberty, US Constitutional Liberty, Conservative, Capitalist and Christianity so that this guy can call me a commie or “trotskyits” Because he believes (idiotically) that’s what I am (even though I’ve fought socialism, communism and Islamist supremacy for decades) and that it’s what “neocon” means - which it isn’t.
I’m sure more anonymous trolls will take the opportunity to make veiled threats or call me a “traitor” for pointing out how stupid and useless their shifting definitions are.
Things that Marx got right.
In the end, our time and attention is the only scarce resource.
If there is no scarcity there is no need for money.
And Marxist cant build anything. They have to depend on capitalists to build.jt for them.

Wait until you get to the point and realize that all of this is just a part of the human cycle.
There is no separation of capitalism and bureaucracy.
Only the rise of one as the other falls over and over and over.
Capitalism is perhaps the most misunderstood economic system in history, largely because it is routinely blamed for the consequences of violating its own principles.
Capitalism means private property, individual rights, voluntary trade, and a government limited to protecting those rights. It is a system in which individuals are free to produce, compete, trade, and prosper without requiring political permission or favoritism.
Cronyism, by contrast, means government granting economic privileges through subsidies, bailouts, tariffs, regulations designed to protect favored businesses, and other forms of political favoritism.
Socialism, communism, fascism, theocracy, absolute monarchy, feudalism, mercantilism, corporatism, and cronyism differ in their doctrines, methods, and objectives. Yet all have permitted political authority or privileged groups to override individual economic freedom.
The fundamental distinction is between voluntary exchange and political coercion.
Under capitalism, economic success depends on creating value that others voluntarily choose to purchase. Under cronyism, political influence can substitute for earning that success through trade.
This brings us to the mixed economy, where elements of capitalism coexist with government intervention, redistribution, regulation, and political favoritism.
When intervention produces unintended consequences, critics routinely attribute those failures to capitalism simply because they occurred in an economy containing private businesses and markets.
That is a fundamental error of causation.
The existence of private businesses does not make every government policy capitalist. Nor does the existence of wealthy businessmen make political favoritism a product of free markets.
A businessman who earns a fortune through voluntary trade and one who obtains privileges through political coercion are operating on fundamentally different principles.
Pure laissez-faire capitalism has never been fully implemented. Yet to the extent economic freedom has existed, it has demonstrated its extraordinary capacity to create wealth, increase productivity, encourage innovation, and raise living standards.
And here lies the great irony.
The remaining economic freedom continues to generate much of the wealth that makes government intervention and redistribution possible, while helping cushion society against their destructive consequences.
Critics then demand further intervention to remedy problems caused or aggravated by previous interventions, perpetuating a cycle in which political power expands while capitalism receives the blame.
Before blaming capitalism for any economic problem, establish whether that problem arose from voluntary exchange or the coercive exercise of political power.
You cannot reasonably condemn a system for the consequences of violating its principles while ignoring the benefits produced when those principles are respected.
No. They dont know the difference btwn complicated and complex.
Guys who are really successful at engineering or science tend to have slightly crackpot theories about history, anthropology, and social dynamics.
Why?
It's not because they are stupid. Anything but. They are consistently the smartest dudes in most rooms.
But they tend to assume that stuff that doesn't require math must be easy, so they often don't really think things all the way through. They just have an idea, it sounds good, it explains all the facts that they are thinking about right now, so out the mouth it comes.
They don't really treat that idea like they would a turbine blade that has to be tested to see if it can withstand serious rotational load.
If states of a civilization were like life cycles, they would have a characteristic time frames. We can characterize a human as a toddler or as elderly, not only because they have characteristic behaviors and abilities, but because they happen at a characteristic time. Humans are toddlers at 1-2ish. Humans are elderly after about 70.
Civilizations, while they do generally decay and collapse, don't do so on any particular timeframe. Some last a thousand years, some last two generations.
No, the only thing this has in common with aging is *eventual decline*.
So why do societies decline? It's not because they become tired and develop joint pain and inflammation. It's not because their cells can only undergo mitosis a certain number of times before building up DNA replication errors.
It's because they have strategies for doing the things societies need to do, and these either fail to adapt to changing conditions, or some social change sabotages them.
The reason eventual decline is, or at least appears, inevitable, is that anything which can happen eventually will happen, and sabotaging yourself, as a civilization, is extremely easy to do. If people never got old or sick, they would still die eventually from accidents or homicide. And that's how societies die, too.
Why this is important is that you never have to accept the end as inevitable. Unlike old age, which we yet lack the technology to defeat, fuckups are at least theoretically avoidable, even if we, personally, might not actually end up being able to stem the tide of stupid.
You have to fight.
We don't take the time to learn or even name wars properly.
The differences in the types of wars are like that of murder and self defense.
Sure, they're both killing but the reason why is very different.
We didn't have a revolutionary war, nor did we have a civil war.
We had two wars of succession.
The first one, the winners, fought for independence. Their founding document was the Declaration of Independence.
This document was the structural order of the country.
My favorite excuse from communists is when they say it's not their fault they just needed the correct people.
It's also the same excuse people that blame the 19th amendment for all the problems in the world.

If this doesn't make you think, nothing will.
Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

I feel really bad for Texas today honestly I do.... but the Mississippian in me is laughing hysterically. For 20 plus years I had to hear tons of shit talk from Texans about how superior Texas is to everyone else in the U.S. Guess what yall are fixing to be Oregon 2.0

If these politicians and PACs really wanted to make some money, they would create a coffee table book filled with the most hilarious/angry replies they get in response to their automated texts.
Working is not voluntary. You have to interact with the world to have food, water, and shelter. It wasn't an employer that made that deal.
It was nature.
This is the most basic of concepts that the left never seems to understand.
Honestly it's not their job to understand it.
Weird coincidence that this was reported 3 days before a plane nose dived into a Walmart parking lot 4 miles away.
🇺🇸 Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence is now protected by SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES.
And they're not taking any chances.
The U.S. military has positioned Avenger air defense systems on a floating barge beside the property, with additional units stationed near Air Force One's parking area at Palm Beach airport.
Each Humvee-mounted system can fire heat-seeking STINGER missiles at drones, helicopters and low-flying aircraft.
The Secret Service says threats against Trump are rising, while federal records show more than 160 airspace violations around Palm Beach since October 2025.
A presidential residence now has its own missile defenses, and Washington is considering making its restricted airspace PERMANENT.
