Why Socialism Doesn't Work, Explained for a 10-Year-Old. You're in a class of 30 students. One kid works like crazy and gets an 18 average. Another does nothing and gets a 4. The teacher decides it's unfair and gives everyone the class average: 11. The one who had 18 stops working. Why bother if it changes nothing? The one who had 4 keeps doing nothing. Why work if you're handed 11 for free? The next year the class average is 7. Then 5. Then 3. The teacher doesn't get it. He thinks the problem is that the students aren't supportive enough of each other. So he starts punishing those who don't put in enough effort. He monitors everyone. He decides who studies what. He bans switching classes. That's exactly what happened. Every time. In every country. No exceptions. USSR, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, East Germany. 40 attempts. Same result. Every time. Socialism punishes those who produce and rewards those who don't. Everyone ends up producing nothing. And when no one's producing anymore, the government uses force to make people work. It's not an accident. It's the design. - @BrivaelFr

Crumlin Rail Halt📍 Ulsterbus depot beside it. Most of the town within a 15 min walk. Could this also become a Park & Ride hub? The potential is already there. #openknockmore #belfastcircleline

Do unionists in N Ireland acknowledge that Britain used terrorism in Ireland to keep down the population + the forming of the UVF was also terrorism, being against acts of UK Parliament? 🤔 Like where did the resistance actually come from if British rule was all sunshine?

@NornEye Britain used starvation, exile, penal laws, military courts, execution, conducted paramilitaries, used cruel and unusual torture. Usually documented by the British themselves. Likewise India. All documented and written in journals.

@mmago75645 Some do but my post has obviously come up because multiple unionist leaders have been speaking about the Easter Rising and Ireland being founded by terrorists.

Howard Lutnick said he cut off Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. But Justice Department records show that years later—after Epstein’s sex crime conviction—Lutnick entered a business deal with him and maintained contact into the 2010s. …eintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/records-show…

@Choyaa13 @irish_news Cost of living and housing arguably short term or generational issue. Irish unity is a long term aspiration and I think the polls down south and electorate are definitely moving more to pro-unity left.

#Israel’s latest genocide is against the Shias of #Lebanon. Why Is the World Silent? Lebanon’s Christians are being told to get rid of any displaced Shias hiding in their homes or villages. Haven’t we seen this story before, and know how it ends? zeteo.com/p/israel-lates…
