@CreativeDeduct Western government refuse to believe that capitalism works despite evidence slapping them across the face.

In the aftermath of WW2, Hong Kong was a bombed-out British colony of 600,000 refugees, with no natural resources and a per capita income lower than many African nations. But by the 1980s it had become one of the richest places on earth. The man most responsible was John Cowperthwaite, Financial Secretary from 1961 to 1971. Cowperthwaite refused to plan the economy. He cut taxes to a flat 15 %, scrapped tariffs and subsidies, rejected industrial policy, and even stopped collecting detailed economic statistics - lest civil servants use the numbers to meddle. “I did very little”, he said. “All I did was to try to prevent some of the things that might have been done.” Government spending stayed below 15 % of GDP. Markets, not ministers, decided what to produce. The result was explosive growth: poverty collapsed, skyscrapers rose, and Hong Kong’s income overtook Britain’s. Today, most Western governments still strangle their economies with taxes and regulations, ignoring the lesson Hong Kong proved: the surest path to prosperity is to get out of the way.

@sciencegirl Our nature.

What is stopping humanity from living peacefully together?

@wcdispatch Trump put himself in a tough spot. If he attacks in a major way, the media will call him a war criminal 24/7. If he doesn't attack, he'll be called senile and crazy for talking nonsense.

Imagine how upset they’re going to be when President Trump doesn’t end civilization. They’ll be calling him Taco again by end of next week.

@JeremyDBoreing Ok, but what is his plan then?

Donald Trump has been a national politician for a decade. Anyone still reacting to the guy’s negotiating tactics and hyperbole with this sort of hysteria ten years in should be disqualified from political commentary. If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one. When he doesn’t, this crew will admit nothing and find some other comment to be scandalized by.

@theDevFiend @EricLDaugh Getting rid of useless bureaucracy is a win.

@EricLDaugh Celebrating job losses like this is wild. Imagine thinking unemployment is a win just because it fits your narrative.

🚨 WOW! The federal government just HEMORRHAGED jobs, down -18K in March 2026 and now the lowest in 60 YEARS Hundreds of thousands of federal jobs, gone. I voted for this! 👏🏻 Purge the deep state, purge the bureaucracy

@EricLDaugh Not fast enough. Now we're adding trillions to the deficit with a new wat.

@AuronMacintyre Trump seems to be flailing. In his typical style he's trying to manufacture a preferred reality, but that's not likely to work here. The Iranian regime knows that it's fighting for its life. They can't just quit as they would be dangling on trees in short order.

@WhiteHouse @NASA Great CGI!

@bl4k_k4t @RapidResponse47 Field a better candidate then...

@RapidResponse47 if we had an ounce of bravery the Iranians have we wouldn't have reelected a rapist coup attempter if there's justice in the world the war crimes and genocidal statements of intent would not go unpunished i hope God laughs at you before closing the gates of heaven on your face

@RealHickory This is a failure on X's part that various old algorithms are still running.

There's a lot of algorithm hell going on, lol

@MrsCharmCarm @libsoftiktok That 'left' doesn't exist anymore. I was on the left 15 years ago when the Democrats were still sane. That has all been replaced by neo-marxist extremism.

@libsoftiktok You’re Jewish. If it wasn’t for the left, you wouldn’t be an American citizen. In the late 18 & early 1900’s, the conservative wing of the Anglo American power structure didn’t want your kind here. The liberal wing did. And this is how you repay them?

The kind and tolerant left want me dead

@libsoftiktok These people don't get banned? I got suspended for a week because I said it's up to a person's choice whether to s* themselves. Nothing against the ToS. Didn't matter. Couldn't get an appeal reviewed. Downgraded my premium to basic as a response to X's non-response.

@reddit_lies I have no problem with that. I don't hire leftists.

@elonmusk I was on X when it was a leftist hovel. Got banned for saying that men can't get pregnant. Allegedly this fact constituted 'hate speech'. Joined again around the time Elon was taking over. The left fled this space as soon as it allowed free speech.

Thank goodness 😂

@Fish_Flakes546 @C_3C_3 The point is that you can say whatever you want...

@C_3C_3 You say this like twitter isn’t one of the largest sources of misinformation 😭😭😭

The Left never got over Elon buying X. That wasn’t supposed to happen. The Left’s ideas are so bad and damaging they need total control of information. When Elon bought X they lost that control. People started seeing truth. This is catastrophic for the Left. Simple.

@goddek Unfortunately Trump is obliging.

Shut the fuck up, Shlomo.

@libsoftiktok 100% of teachers are non white in Somalia. Why not go there?

This woman is complaining that teachers in Ireland are too White, accuses them of being racist, and thinks they need to be more "diverse."

@lucyjaynewhite1 This is absolutely insane. Muslims vote 100% for Muslim candidates. Democracy where people vote on policy is an alien concept for them.

Just look at the rate of acceleration of ethnic ‘minority’ MPs in the House of Commons. From 4 ethnic ‘minority’ MPs in 1987, to 90 in 2024. This was caused by DEI schemes within political parties, e.g. David Cameron’s ‘A-list’ scheme, as well as sectarian voting blocs. We want to be represented by our own people with British interests only. We do not want diversity and we do not want to be ‘represented’ by those with foreign, alien interests. Repealing the British Nationality Acts of 1948 and 1981, as well as the Representation of the People Act 1983, will prevent and reverse this.

@allenanalysis Biden literally did nothing. Trump is definitely working even if you don't like what he's doing. 1 <> 2

You can't make this up.

@Rothmus No, Jumanji, stealing a wallet does not make you Japanese.
