    These lines from Atlas Shrugged go particularly hard these days.

    Meanwhile in real life, Israel has returned territory to Egypt (1979) & Jordan (1994) when they made peace, which is vastly LARGER than Israel's current size.

    ‘Man, capitalism is so materialistic and, like, soulless’. Meanwhile for the first time in history you have access to every book, opera, or film ever made, one click away (and most of them for free); for the first time in history, you, a non-aristocrat, can have free time to

    Worth remembering: the people behind the camera, the people forcing the hostage to dig his grave, are the main source of information for the majority of news we've been getting from Gaza, and for the view most people have for the conflict.

    From whom did J.K. Rowling ‘extract wealth’? Her customers? They got so much value out of her books. Her editors/publisher/contractors? They made crazy money from their collaboration. Same applies to anyone who produces and creates lots of value.

    A hard pill to swallow was that many on the Left aren't motivated by sympathy for the poor, but envy & hatred for the well-off. The tweet, the replies to it, and a look at the hashtag 'submarine', reveal a lot.

    If the super-rich can spend £250,000 on vanity jaunts 2.4 miles beneath the ocean then they're not being taxed enough.

    Milei is the exception to a basic rule of history: that politics is downstream from culture. Yet he’s winning as a one-man-show revolution in a most hostile culture for liberty. In the country that for a century tried every bad idea. Charisma, will, and aura for the ages. 🇦🇷

    It’s official: With +90% of votes already counted, Milei’s party La Libertad Avanza has been the most voted party nationwide. Deputies: 40.84% of votes. LLA won 64 Deputies. (In the photo, LLA-s color is purple). MASSIVE win for Milei! 🇦🇷

    This has less Yom Kippur and more 9/11 vibes. In Yom Kippur Arabs had a goal: recapturing Sinai and Golan. Today is pure nihilism; Hamas knows there’s zero to be gained. This is about killing for the sake of it, towards no goal. See how gleefully they post the lynched bodies

    Milei makes, clumsily, the MORAL case for freedom, and the world pays attention. Meanwhile all these years the freedom movement has mostly produced graphs, policy papers, utilitarian arguments, GDP projections... And no one cared. No one will go to the barricades for GDP.

    The ‘every death in the war is on Zelensky’ is the MAGA equivalent of the leftist psychos who were posting paraglide memes after October 7.

    We don’t support you. Show some respect next time. You are an ungrateful petulant child who is responsible for 1 million dead.
