Correcting Idiocy

 https://x.com/bskimike22802/status/2052034214933995865?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

 "Dear Senator Hickenlooper, I want to make sure I understand what just happened here. A man worth an estimated THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS -- who paid a 13% effective federal tax rate in 2012, used conservation easements as a tax shelter until the IRS said "nice try" and made him write a $52,486 check to settle it -- who takes campaign money from lobbyists in securities, real estate, and finance -- just posted "Trump picks the rich. Every. Single. Time." I mean. Okay. Sure. Let's start with where your framing falls apart, which is immediately. The Senate passed that bill 89-10, yes. The White House DID support its core direction -- limiting institutional investors from buying up existing single-family homes. What Trump is objecting to NOW is ONE specific provision: a mandate forcing large build-to-rent developers to sell properties after seven years. One provision. In a massive bill. A policy disagreement on implementation -- the kind that happens in legislation every single day. You turned that into "TRUMP PICKS THE RICH EVERY SINGLE TIME." That is weapons-grade stupid. Or it is deliberate. Pick one. Neither reflects well. Now. About this "Tax the Rich" routine from a man sitting on a $30 million net worth. I keep seeing these Democrats chant "Tax the Rich" while they ARE the rich -- not only knowing the loopholes, but writing them into law and filing accordingly. I do not want to hear a single word about the wealthy until you lead by example: standard deduction only, zero itemized write-offs, and pay DOUBLE whatever the IRS says you owe. Until that glorious day, Senator, you are as useful on this subject as a cordless extension cord. And if the rich are truly so catastrophically evil they deserve their own tweet every other week -- I have a modest proposal. Put the iPhone down. Tim Cook is worth a couple billion. Walk away from your house; wealthy financiers built the lending market that made its construction possible. That tailored suit? Textile executives. The medication in your cabinet? Big Pharma -- the very corporations you campaign against between fundraisers -- ran the clinical trials standing between "that disease kills you" and "that disease is now treatable." The internet you used to post this very tweet? Built on the backs of obscenely wealthy tech founders and private capital. Go ahead. Boycott the rich. I'll wait right here. Now. Who actually broke the housing market? Not landlords. GOVERNMENT broke the housing market. A hundred years of it, actually. 82% of residential land in the San Francisco Bay Area is zoned single-family only. Duplexes? Illegal. Triplexes? Illegal. A starter home a working family could genuinely afford? Banned -- not metaphorically, LITERALLY BANNED -- by minimum lot size rules that ensure the land costs more than a modest house can absorb. Environmental review laws -- reasonable in principle, weaponized in practice -- became litigation tools for wealthy NIMBY homeowners determined that affordable housing should be someone else's neighborhood problem. Parking minimums add $10,000 to $50,000 per unit before a single wall goes up. Permitting timelines in some jurisdictions stretch into years. The median age of a first-time homebuyer is now 40. In 1950 it was 25. THAT is Quinn's Law Number One at full throttle -- liberalism always produces the EXACT OPPOSITE of its stated intent. Your party spent a century making affordable homes illegal to build, and is now at the podium demanding credit for caring about the people it priced out. The families locked out of homeownership right now? Young. Working class. Lower-income buyers who will never build the generational wealth that homeownership creates -- not because of evil landlords, but because of zoning laws, environmental litigation, and regulatory cost stacks that your ideological coalition actively championed for DECADES. And now you want to be the hero. Senator -- which of these is true? You did not read the actual bill and are just running on spite-autopilot. OR you read it and the distinction between "objecting to one provision" and "siding with corporate landlords" was simply outside the cognitive bandwidth currently available to you. OR -- the one that should concern your constituents most -- you understood perfectly and decided they did not need to know the difference. Three options. All embarrassing. Only one requires an apology. But what do I know -- I am only a science teacher who spent time actually reading housing policy and discovered that the government does not fix problems it manufactured by doing more of what manufactured them."

Capitalism Again

 https://x.com/brivael/status/2052311280564748501?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

 

" If you're a good-faith leftist and you're reading this thread, read what's next carefully. You might become a liberal in five minutes. The sentence is beautiful because it perfectly sums up the fundamental economic error of the left: "a system that wants to concentrate all the wealth in the hands of a few." This sentence assumes that wealth is a fixed pie. A finite quantity. If someone takes more, others necessarily have less. If Bezos is rich, it's necessarily because he stole from the poor. That's false. It's the most false thing you can believe in economics. And that's where all the error comes from. Wealth isn't a pie to be shared. It is created. A baker who produces bread doesn't take anything from anyone. He adds bread to the world. Before him: no bread. After him: bread. The world is richer, he is richer, his customers are more satisfied. No one lost. Everyone gained. That's the difference between a market exchange (positive-sum game: both parties win, or they wouldn't exchange) and theft (zero-sum game: what one gains, the other loses). Capitalism is based on exchange. Communism, on forced redistribution, therefore on theft. Now the numbers. Because this isn't an opinion, it's historical arithmetic. In 1820, 94% of humanity lived in poverty, 84% in extreme poverty (less than a dollar a day). Today, global extreme poverty has fallen to about 9%. This is the most extraordinary data point in human history. In 200 years, we've gone from 9 out of 10 people in absolute misery to fewer than 1 out of 10. In just the last 35 years, 117,000 people escape extreme poverty every day. Every day. Since 1990. That's more than 1.5 billion people in total. That's the equivalent of 25 times the French population lifted out of absolute misery in one generation. What caused that? Not humanitarian aid. Not NGOs. Not the state. Economic growth. Therefore capitalism. Therefore market exchange that creates wealth where there was none. The two countries that contributed the most to this miracle are China and India. Both were communist or socialist. Both were among the poorest countries in the world. Both decided in the 1970s-80s to shift toward a market economy. Result: 800 million Chinese and several hundred million Indians lifted out of poverty in 40 years. Communism kept those countries in misery. Capitalism got them out. That's a fact. Not an opinion. So reality exactly reverses your sentence. Capitalism doesn't concentrate wealth in the hands of a few. It creates so much of it, everywhere, that even the poorest become less poor. Bezos is rich, AND the average Bangladeshi eats better today than an 18th-century king. Both are true at the same time. That's what you need to understand. Communism, on the other hand, doesn't create wealth. It redistributes what already exists, until there's none left at all. That's why it always ends up producing generalized poverty. Not by accident. Mechanically. When you break the system that creates wealth, all that's left is to share the misery. Yesterday's prosperous Venezuela is today a country where people eat dogs. Cuba after 65 years of socialism has a per capita GDP lower than that of neighboring Dominican Republic. North Korea at night is a black hole on satellite images next to a lit-up South Korea. That's not a detail. It's empirical proof repeated a hundred times. So if you really want to help the poor, you need to want more capitalism, not less. More free exchange. More entrepreneurship. More private property. More market. Not out of love for the rich, but out of compassion for the poor. It's the only system that sustainably lifts them out of misery. You can verify all the data above. World Bank, Our World in Data, Maddison Project. None of it is disputed. It's just that they've been hidden from you, because they destroy the narrative you were sold in school, at university, in the media. Now you know. The question is no longer "what do you believe." It's "what are you going to do with what you now know." Welcome."

 "Fantastic. Gorsuch is (unwittingly) making my argument re Islam for me. If we’re truly to be a creedal nation, and we should be, then we must deny citizenship to any who cannot live by these words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” Outlawing Sharia isn’t enough. We must outlaw Islam and deny it the respectability and protection afforded it as a religion. It’s an ideology that, when practiced seriously, is fundamentally opposed not only to these sentiments in The Declaration of Independence, but to the entire Bill of Rights and the Constitution itself. To let waves of Muslims into this country is like the Hobbits letting Orcs into the Shire because they swore they were now vegetarians."

Another "Learing Center" and a "Muslims Only" event. What could possibly go wrong. 

 

The obvious answer is to require that Muslims agree to forswear allegiance to any aspect of Islam that conflicts with US law or founding "creeds", but we know that Muslims have permission to lie about this sort of thing which is kind of sowing the seeds of their own destruction.

Maybe Anabaptists Aren't Always As Portrayed

 "The Anabaptist Kingdom of Münster stands as history's most vivid demonstration that collectivism breeds tyranny and starvation centuries before Marx penned a single word about class struggle. In 1534, radical Anabaptist preachers seized control of this German city and immediately declared their "New Jerusalem" built on complete communal ownership. Private property vanished overnight. The new regime confiscated all money and demanded citizens pool every resource for the collective good. Sound familiar? The self-proclaimed "Tailor-King" Jan van Leiden ruled this proto-socialist paradise with absolute authority, enforcing his vision of equality through systematic terror. Dissenters faced immediate execution. The state mandated polygamy as official policy while abolishing individual economic choice entirely. When you destroy price signals and property rights, you destroy the coordination mechanism that feeds cities. Münster's collectivist experiment delivered exactly what economic theory predicts: rapid collapse into famine and chaos. Within months, residents ate rats and boiled leather to survive. Reports of cannibalism emerged as the egalitarian dream transformed into a living nightmare. The most predictable element? Elite hypocrisy. While ordinary citizens starved in their enforced equality, van Leiden and his inner circle lived in luxury, enjoying the finest food and accommodations the collective could provide. Centralized power inevitably corrupts those who wield it. The economic logic remains bulletproof: without private property, individuals lose incentive to produce efficiently. Without market prices, planners cannot calculate resource allocation. Without voluntary exchange, coercion becomes the only tool for organizing complex society. Münster's rulers discovered these iron laws the hard way. The starving city collapsed from within as its communist economy proved incapable of sustaining basic human life. When Catholic armies finally retook Münster in 1535, they found a wasteland of economic destruction and human misery. The victors tortured the surviving Anabaptist leaders and displayed their bodies in iron cages hung from the city's main church. Those cages remained there for centuries as a warning about utopian schemes that promise equality but deliver only death. Modern advocates of wealth redistribution and collective ownership prefer to ignore Münster's lessons. They insist their version of centralized control will somehow escape the economic laws that doomed every previous attempt. But human nature and market forces operate independently of ideological wishes. The Anabaptist experiment reveals the fatal flaw in all collectivist thinking: the assumption that abolishing property rights creates abundance rather than scarcity. In reality, property rights exist because they solve the fundamental problem of resource allocation in a world of competing needs and limited goods. Münster's collapse took just sixteen months to complete. The city's descent from Protestant reform to communist tyranny to economic wasteland offers a perfect case study in how quickly good intentions can destroy functioning societies when they ignore basic economic principles. You can find those iron cages in Münster today, still hanging from St. Lambert's Church after nearly five centuries. They serve as permanent reminders that collectivism's promises always end the same way: in starvation, tyranny, and death."

" @RepJeffries

Oh, look. A snollygoster with a Twitter account and delusions of adequacy. The Virginia Supreme Court did NOT "overturn the will of 3 million voters." The Court ruled -- 4 to 3 -- that YOUR legislature violated Article XII, Section 1 of Virginia's OWN constitution in the PROCESS it used to put that amendment on the ballot. The process was broken. Broken BY YOUR SIDE. Procedural violations have consequences. That is not disenfranchisement. That is called THE RULE OF LAW. I know. Revolutionary concept. Now let us discuss what that amendment was actually engineered to accomplish -- because I would explain it further, but I left my crayons at home. Your party wanted to redraw Virginia's congressional map from 6-5 Democrat... to 10-1 Democrat. In a state that votes approximately 50-50. The existing maps -- the ones confirmed to remain in place -- were drawn by a BIPARTISAN commission in 2021 with YOUR party at the table. Now those same bipartisan maps are "Jim Crow." If you stand close enough to that argument, you can hear the ocean. Jim Crow. Let us linger here for a moment. Was there not a single person on your staff with the spine to tap you on the shoulder and say, "Sir, perhaps WE should not be the ones invoking Jim Crow"? The DEMOCRAT Party. The party that wrote Jim Crow. Filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 75 CALENDAR DAYS. Gave us Senator Robert Byrd -- a KKK recruiter personally eulogized as the "conscience of the Senate" by your Democrat colleagues. Every piece of racial oppression stitched into American law has a Democrat's signature at the bottom. Every. Single. One. And YOU want to lecture people about Jim Crow attacks on Black representation while your party was engineering Black voters into window dressing for a 10-to-1 map they were supposed to be grateful for. You are the reason God created the middle finger. Quinn's Law Number 22 says liberals love democracy -- right up until it does not go their way. Quinn's Law Number 26 says liberals love the courts -- right up until the ruling stings. Watch both fire at once in a single post from a man who was clearly hiding behind the door when God handed out brains. The Virginia Supreme Court is the FINAL word on Virginia constitutional matters. That ruling stands. Those bipartisan 2021 maps stand. The only thing that does not stand is your party's attempt to confiscate a purple state's congressional delegation through a procedurally invalid ballot maneuver -- and then call anyone who noticed a racist. Next you are going to tell me that the party which seceded from the Union to protect slavery, invented the KKK, authored Jim Crow, spent a century blocking Black political power, and JUST tried to manufacture a 10-to-1 map in a state split evenly down the middle is, somehow, the true defender of Black representation in America. ...you already did. In the same post. Eats soup with a fork AND writes legislation with the same level of coordination. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and produce a more coherent argument than whatever you just published,

@RepJeffries

. That is not a low bar. You went under it anyway. But what do I know -- I am only a science teacher who actually read the Virginia Constitution AND the Court opinion, while you apparently could not pour water out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel AND your staff read them aloud."
