"Wokeness" is taking a side in the culture war. It's the side that seeks to replace the western world's dignity culture with a victim culture. skeptic.com/reading_room/h…

@centrist_dan @SquatchCapital @MetamateDaz YOU still need to work the homestead and when your skills fall short somewhere you will need to engage with someone else and their labor through some form of trade because they might not want to just GIVE you their stuff

You’re born onto a planet you never asked to exist on… and society immediately hits you with: “Okay, now go earn the right to eat, sleep, rest, and have shelter.” Like… zoom out for a second. We’re floating on a rock in infinite space and we created a game where you have to spend most of your life working just to not starve or freeze to death. The whole concept is actually insane when you think about it.

I REALLY need to take the temperature of people. Hypothetical: You’re at a conference. Magazines are on a table as free literature. Angry woman comes along, takes a whole stack. She’s told not to. She throws them away. Man in response slaps her across the face. Is that ok?

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

How Americans aged 25-35 spend their free time, 1920-2026. A shift toward ever more leisure and solitude. The most underrated change is the loss of time spent “doing nothing” (i.e. introspecting). shorturl.at/aIA6y

@StephenMcLbrtrn @ClarksonsFarm1 When you buy a house, you are buying an exclusive right to it in law. That is the very definition of "wanting it". If you don't want that legal protection, that's fine - you don't own the house.

@StephenMcLbrtrn @ClarksonsFarm1 So people can choose not to pay for state protection if they don't want it. So when a slave raiding party comes and takes them away, the state stands idle because they didn't pay for protection?

If socialists could start building the means of production instead of seizing it, that would be great.

@StephenMcLbrtrn An amount proportional to the value of your assets the state protects. So if you own a £500k home, the tax at 2% would be £10k per annum. The value of yourself as a person is harder to determine. For wage slaves income could be considered a proxy for value.

Genuine question: How much in actual £’s should everyone pay in taxes to be considered “fair”? I want real figures, not vague percentages. It’s only fair is everyone contributes the same.

Muslims and their political allies in Britain are absolutely hooked and triggered by the massive rally held by British patriots in London. These brave British patriots are being viciously smeared by the media and evil politicians as “far right” simply because they refuse to give up their national identity, culture, and values. They will not surrender Britain to the globalist agenda of mass Islamic immigration and open borders deliberately designed to erase everything that makes Britain British. This is not “far right” extremism. This is basic survival. While Muslims demand more rights, benefits, and space to impose their supremacist ideology, British patriots are simply saying: enough. They want their country back. They want their culture, laws, and way of life protected! Share if you stand with them!

@HazelAppleyard You wouldn’t. You’d have over $1 trillion every 12 years. Even if you are auto investing in stocks, crypto, etc. it would become almost impossible to manage.

THIS IS HOW THE STATE CONTROLS YOU. AN EXAMPLE. In the world’s highest taxed country - Denmark - we pay up to half of our salary to the state. Both laws were passed under Social Democrat governments. Mette Frederiksen’s governments. The same Prime Minister who talks about freedom and family values - while systematically undermining both. In return, the state promises to take care of us. Look after us. Protect us. But it forgets to tell us that the price of that care is control. Let’s take two examples. Both passed by the same state. Both wrapped in the word equality. Parental leave - 2022. On March 3rd, 2022, the Danish Parliament passed a new parental leave law. The background was an EU directive. From August 2nd, 2022, 11 weeks of parental leave are earmarked for the mother - and 11 weeks for the father. They cannot be transferred. If the father doesn’t use his weeks - the family loses them. I spoke yesterday with a young woman in our building. She had one week of her maternity leave left. She was still breastfeeding. She could barely comprehend that it was over. That next week she would have to return to work - hand her breastfeeding baby to her husband - because the state had decided that was what was right for her family. Not because she wanted to. Not because her child was ready. Not because her body was done. But because the state said so. Conscription - 2025. On July 1st, 2025, yet another law came into effect. From now on, women are subject to full conscription on the same terms as men. The justification? Equality. Because we all know that men and women are completely biologically and physically identical. Built for exactly the same things. 🤡 So if you have a daughter - she can look forward to, when she turns 18 - being called up for Armed Forces Day. Drawing a lottery number. And potentially serving 11 months of military service. And risking being sent to war. Not because she chose it. But because the state decided it. And now comes the argument I often hear. Yes, but when the state pays you - it can also decide. Can it? We live in the world’s highest taxed country. We pay up to 50% of our income in tax. Our entire lives. These are not the state’s money it gives us. These are our own money we get back - in a form the state has decided is appropriate. The right answer is not to accept control as the price for the money. The right answer is to lower taxes - and give families the freedom and the money to decide over their own lives. Freedom is not a privilege the state grants you. It is something you are born with. And which the state slowly - gradually - decision by decision - law by law - takes from you. ❤️‍🔥✝️🪽

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX. @BSAT_Properties

🇬🇷 As a Greek woman, I cannot stay silent… I owe this to my Ancestors ! ❌️ BOYCOTT Nolan’s "The Odyssey" that has completely altered Homer’s epic ❌ Helen of Troy , the most beautiful woman in the world , was described by Homer with golden blonde hair, dazzling white skin and divine European beauty that launched a thousand ships. She was a Greek woman, not Sub-Saharan African. This is not representation. This is erasure of Greek and European history and identity. Imagine the global outrage if they made: "Wagadu: The White Panthers"... Double standards and pure disrespect! ❌️ BOYCOTT Nolan’s Odyssey ❌ #BoycottNolansOdyssey #HelenOfTroy #HomersOdyssey #GreekMythology #HistoricalAccuracy #CulturalErasure

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.
