The Curtis Yarvin / Peter Thiel “Dark Enlightenment” was overtly anti-democracy and had some dollars behind it, but has been a clown show of an ideology from the start (over 15 years ago) and has only withered more in daylight.

Whether it’s morally right, there’s a wide canyon between proposing an entire alternative political system, and deplatforming people on X or Starlink.

As long as that’s the labor the immigrants are intending to do… Otherwise you get a situation like Canada has where IT professionals from India arrive to find they have few job prospects but still need a place to live.

Well you’re replying to me, so I’ll take a crack at it. The whole purpose of the federal government is to represent the states, and the intention of the electoral colleges is to balance their interests. If the national popular vote was the only thing that mattered, there would be almost no reason for candidates to care about policy issues that uniquely affect states with smaller populations like Alaska.

Good thing the number for California is not correct…

Your math for California is off by a factor of ten. California’s per-capita electoral votes would be 0.00000141025

There’s a minimum representation of votes (3) for statehood. In Alaska’s case there are a large number of natives who are directly affected by policy at the federal level. The state is also very important strategically for defense and energy production.

California electoral votes: 55

Alaska electoral votes: 3

he tried to cozy up to the libertarians and they rejected him for not being very libertarian at all

They basically want a return to monarchy, and yet they self style as ‘libertarian’. Fuck those losers.

You can do something similar with damaged metal threads, instead of toothpicks using copper wire strands. Project Farm has a video on the technique comparing it to other fixes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jknMrFOGMOQ

Also MMT is a failure, and if you think Keynesianism is the path forward after what we all just witnessed, you should be embarrassed

Unspent / uninvested money might as well be on Mars. When the government hands out money, it soaks into physical goods and equities and drives their prices up. This is exactly what has happened over the past five years with “emergency” spending.

Money creation is not value creation

if you want to speedrun a financial collapse through deficit spending

Fuck all these assholes

it puts the Biden on its skin or else it gets the Trump again

Are they even doing debates?

We deserve better

Government would burn a lot of fossil fuels in the effort to save you from the sin of doing it yourself

How is the status quo benefiting anyone? The lines aren’t moving, soldiers and civilians are dying daily.

And yes, you are still a war hawk if you support the status quo of war to continue.

IMO Ukraine should be admitted to NATO after negotiating a peace treaty.

I’d argue they already did and yeah fuck Putin but we should be questioning whether it is morally right to support a stalemate that is killing a whole generation of Ukrainian men. We should absolutely be questioning how it is the American’s responsibility to support that indefinitely with taxes when we are so insanely in debt. How are any of these carve-outs appropriate in an “Immigration” bill?
