BUILD THE SWITCH Ok. I see the “just flip the switch” thing a lot now from the right. But while I’m sympathetic to the desire for law and order, and agree that is a direction worth pursuing, there’s an illusion that should be addressed. Leftists think you can get money without working for it. Just flip the switch on the money printer. Just flip the switch to tax the rich. But in reality, resources are scarce. Rightists often similarly think you can get political power without working for it. Just flip the switch to throw the criminals in jail. But in reality, votes (or political supporters in general) are scarce just like resources are. So the hard part is the invisible part of building that political base. Why were those criminal gangs on the streets of El Salvador? Because they had a drug dealer business model, and because Western leftists were paid by NGOs to support them. They were actually politically powerful. Thus, what was needed to disrupt them? A better political business model, one that actually generated more political support than the legacy model. The Internet was critical for this, as it allowed Bukele to build an audience with social media, align with Western centrists, conservatives, and libertarians via Bitcoin, recruit tech companies to El Salvador, and directly rebut anarchy-spreading Western leftist NGOs through a channel they couldn’t censor. There’s way more to it than that, but the point is: there was no switch that Bukele inherited to flip, anymore than Elon inherited the switch to launch a SpaceX rocket. Bukele essentially had to build a new state from scratch, via the Internet. A new state that was loyal to the people of El Salvador rather than the criminal gangs. This was nontrivial. He had to build the switch.

What's interesting about Bukele's rule is that it's all so obvious. You can just flip the switch and make your country powerful, be beloved by the people, get rich, etc. That this is not widely regarded as something worth striving for shows a deep sickness in Western politics.

Labour are taking the mick now. "Pride in Place" funding will now be rationed on the basis of "community cohesion" Only their inner-city clients will get funding.

The reality is only remigration can save our people. If you believe that demographics are destiny. If you believe that the British people need a home. Then shutting the borders won’t stop this. It’s too late. We must remigrate millions. It’s either that or we lose everything.

Doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the medical regulator for malpractice. It's totally insane that the NHS is prioritising overseas doctors over our most talented medical graduates. It's a terrible deal for doctors and patients alike.

🚨MUSLIM LABOUR MP CAUGHT ON CAMERA “WE MUST GROW AND TAKEOVER THE WHOLE UK” 🎥 ☪️ Shocking Video Reveals Bloc Voting Strategy To Dominate Birmingham, West Midlands And Britain, As Labour Panders To Massive Muslim Vote For Power Labour MP Iqbal Mohamed, who has Pakistani heritage, openly calls for Muslims to grow and takeover the UK through political bloc voting. “We must grow and takeover, not just parts of Birmingham, but the whole of Birmingham, the whole of the West Midlands, the whole of the UK.” In the clip he urges the community to stick together as a powerful voting bloc so they can stand up to the government and force their demands to be met. This is exactly why Labour keeps pandering to these groups. They need and rely on that huge concentrated Muslim vote to hold on to power in key seats. They’re not even hiding the strategy anymore.
