Capitalist firms, left to their own devices, have the "obligation to serve the interests" of their customers--or they go out of business. The state, left to its own devices, has no such direct check on its activities--& often fools voters that it IS serving them, when it isn't.

Behold, the tweet that ended it all. There has never been a self-debunking this spectacular, this glorious.

The core argument of critical race theory is quite literally that any bad thing Blacks or other minorities do is white people's fault. The core argument of later-wave feminism is quite literally that any bad thing women do is men's fault.
I can point you to chapter and verse here, if you want - i.e., Kendi (2020: 12).
These are stupid and untenable ideologies.

"300,000 years in which we've had societies with no poverty" @JohnRad15, only true if the hunter-gather "societies" of 300,000 years ago that had to scavenge for food had a different official statistical definition of "poverty" than we do today!

Colonialism was, in fact, often a good thing.
BUT, it's worth noting that *Zimbabwe* is so often used to argue for "inevitable post-colonial collapse into barbarism" because it would...really make no sense to use Botswana, Singapore, Jamaica, Egypt, Bermuda/Bahamas/Barbados, Hong Kong, Kenya, India, Indonesia, etc - or ftm the United States.
Those are all just sort of countries now.

Government ruined healthcare.
Government ruined college.
Government ruined housing.
Stop expecting government to solve the problems they created in the first place.

Thomas Sowell: A gov't agency has 2 tasks: building statues of Benedict Arnold & providing life-saving medications to children. If this agency's budget were cut, it would cut the life-saving medications for children. Cutting the program people care about creates public outrage & pressure on legislators to restore the budget, while cutting the useless program would just show that the agency can do without the money.

Mass grave of Christians in Africa.
Muslims did this. Islam did this.

Dave Smith, not funny and really, really stupid. @KonstantinKisin spitting the most simple fact about WWII. Dave is so dumb but arrogant.

Libertarians are not fighting the left hard enough. The right wants to make your avocados more expensive. The left wants you dead.
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered.
I told her I’d pray for her.
This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.

Czechoslovakia, 1945: the Nazis are gone, the war’s over, people are dancing in the streets. For a few years it actually feels like freedom.
Didn’t last. By 1948 the Communist Party, backed by Moscow, staged a coup and took the whole country. Then came 40+ years of one-party rule: secret police, show trials, censorship, closed borders, empty store shelves.
It took until November 1989, the Velvet Revolution, students leading the way, for the country to actually be free again.
