‘There is a vital distinction between ‘religious indoctrination’ and civilizational continuity. Every civilization must transmit the principles upon which it rests; if it fails to do so, it ceases to reproduce itself. In high-stakes terms, this is a matter of national security. The reproduction of Constitutive Knowledge is the civic infrastructure that keeps a republic standing. The subversion of the modern era, led by the ‘Social Reconstructivists’, has been to redefine the transmission of these foundations as ‘indoctrination’. Meanwhile, these same actors move to transmit a different, rival set of principles under the guise of ‘neutrality’. This serves a specific end; the dismantling of national sovereignty in favour of a globalist architecture. If a republic abandons the educational function necessary for its own continuity, it has effectively signed its own death warrant.’ (Jones) open.substack.com/pub/thepalmerw…

This, & Bending the Twig are both must-reads. Must. They will open your eyes. I want everyone, including people who don’t have kids to read them because they explain so much of what we are seeing, & it’s all been going on for much, much longer than just this youngest generation. We are all impacted by what’s been happening in education.

Why does every social issue seem to be reframed as a struggle between oppressors and the oppressed? It's no coincidence. It's the product of a philosophical method that has shaped the left for more than two centuries: the dialectic. It originated with Georg Wilhelm Friedrich

@CalFreiburger It’s incomprehensible to me.

Economics 101: Vacancy and rents move in opposite directions. When homes are scarce, prices soar. New York is the proof, a 1.4% vacancy rate, the lowest since 1968, and ~$4,000 rents. Nationally, vacancy runs ~7% and rents are about half. The cure is supply. Austin built 120,000 homes, and rents FELL. A rent freeze builds nothing. Worse, it deepens the shortage. Cap rents and owners stop investing, stop maintaining, stop building. Units get warehoused, converted, or left to rot. Fewer apartments reach the market, vacancy tightens further, and the crisis grows. A landmark Stanford study found San Francisco’s rent control cut rental supply 15% and pushed market rents UP. If @ZohranKMamdani and New York’s socialists understood economics, they’d get it: you don’t end a shortage by freezing prices. You end it by building. Build, baby, build.

@JDHaltigan A worldview that is an inversion of reality is inevitably going to have an impact on mental health.

Eric Hoffer, it's how the cookie seems to crumble

1/ A new fight over AI data centers is testing whether America still wants to build. @realhumansfirst is right to raise questions about energy, water, property rights, transparency, and who pays. But the answer is not fear-driven government control. It is abundance with accountability.

Stupid is as stupid does...

Do not fall for this clown, America. He's done nothing to fix what ails California and would 100 percent squander anything gained from new taxes. Don't fall for it

It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract. 10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed.  The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code

Socialism depends on people having a short memory and little historical knowledge. That’s whey every revolution insists on starting from Year One all over again.

“We need to inoculate our children against the seductive idea of victimhood.” I didn’t think I could be a bigger fan of @Miss_Snuffy but I was wrong. Powerful speech! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

White people are terrified of being seen as racist. If white guilt permeates the online world and our schools, then our adults will feel guilty too. This helps neither whites nor ethnics. My ARC speech:

We have to keep speaking out, even when it feels futile, or we’re shouted down or dismissed. Most people want to be good people, but they are being mislead. We can’t abandon or give up on them. Even if people have accepted evil ideas, or even done evil, hurtful things, it’s not impossible to bring them back to reality. Decades after the Chinese cultural revolution, former Red Guards apologized for the evil they had committed while they had been completely convinced of the righteousness of their actions. They were deceived, but some of them later realized this, & admitted it. They came back to reality. As long as we continue to speak the truth, to encourage one another, & create a place for people to come to, it’s not too late.

Good people with good motives—who believe lies—do evil things.

Ludwig von Mises, Hayek’s early mentor, wrote one of the most brutal takedowns of socialism ever: “The champions of socialism ... call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.”

This is for you good folks claiming that you are poor because someone else is a billionaire. The number of people in extreme poverty (< $1.90/day) is down, but the number of billionaires is way up. It's the miracle of capitalism, and it's NEVER happened under socialism. w.

@McWhiteywhite1 @PowerOwn45 Not all older folks do the wiser part.

This is what parents need to understand when Queer Theory is being interjected & mainlined into their children’s education. Queer Theory is not about acceptance, or compassion, or inclusion. It’s political & ideological indoctrination; grooming into accepting a radical, revolutionary worldview where the opposition is the Western Tradition, liberalism, & the individual (& all that follows from that; the free market, private property, pluralism, freedom of speech & conscience, etc.). “Queer” does not mean gay. It’s a political & ideological identity that rejects reality & facilitates violent revolution.

This is true because while gayness is a sexual orientation, Queerness is a political posture signaling loyalty to the omnicause and animus toward Western civilization
