Unfortunately, I completely agree that the United States of America is rapidly descending into all-out conflict between left and right. The Luigi left, Kirk killers, anti-Tesla terrorists, and Altman attackers are already in shoot-on-sight mode against conservatives, libertarians, and technologists. The right isn’t there yet; they’re called reactionaries because they only react, so they’re always one cycle behind. Thus, the left has already started shooting while the right is still “only” mirroring the lawfare of last decade’s left. But anyone can see how incandescently angry the American right is getting, so one can expect them to mirror leftist tactics eventually, just as J6 followed BLM. A problem then arises. You see, when communists and nationalists duke it out, technologists tend to be hated by both sides…and tend to leave. That’s what happened in Europe. In the early 1900s, Europe was the undisputed center of science. But then the far left rose to power in Russia, and in response arose a far right in Germany, and then those two psychotic factions blew each other up and took much of Europe with them. The result was that scientists with options left. Shown below is the graph of Nobel prizes. Science used to be centered in Europe when America was still a relative backwater…renowned for cranking out widgets but not much else. Then, as Europe tore itself apart, the smart scientists (and capitalists) simply left for America. Many had no choice; you just couldn’t be a Russian capitalist in the Soviet Union or a Jewish scientist in Nazi Germany, no matter how many years your family might have been in the country. Passionate protestations of ideological loyalty and everlasting patriotism didn’t matter. At best the enemy classes and races were unbanked and denaturalized; at worst they were simply killed. And arguably, all of that — the communism, the nationalism, the wars — all of that arose from the disruption wrought by the Industrial Revolution. We might anticipate similar levels of disruption from the Information Revolution. If so, if America is torn between Democrats and Republicans, or Wokes and MAGAs, or whatever factions succeed them, it’s just not going to be a good place for technological progress. Instead, progress will decentralize to other locations around the world, as it did before.

@RandPaul Ohhhhhh 😳

Next week I’m holding a hearing with a whistleblower who will testify publicly about the COVID coverup. Mark your calendars: Wednesday, May 13 at 10am. The truth is coming.

@RandPaul @zerohedge Ridiculous

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history. He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough. RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

@aimeeterese *someone hes attracted to enough that he wants to make his girlfriend

If a guy likes you he dates you. A “situationship” just means he’s fucking you until something better comes along because you’re easy and willing. You fucking idiot.

@nikitabier 😳

Crypto has had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it.

@_The_Prophet__ Hes hated in Ireland by most people. You are making assumptions here about things you don’t know enough about and you know it

⚡️This government is done. The timeline is the only question. The €505 million package was the government’s best move and it was irrelevant within hours. That tells you something fundamental about where the energy is. The money was calibrated to end a fuel protest. But by Sunday evening this isn’t a fuel protest anymore. McGregor calling for dissolution of the Dáil, Sinn Fein tabling no confidence, a national strike called for Monday morning. Three simultaneous vectors aimed at the same target. The government is trying to put out a fire that has already moved to a different building. “Dáil 34 WILL BE DISSOLVED.” He named the parliament by number. That’s a political objective stated plainly by someone with more reach than every Irish media outlet combined. The government has no counter to this. They can’t outspend it because the demands have moved past money. They can’t discredit him because he’s more popular than any of them. They can’t ignore him because the entire country is reading it. The real thing nobody wants to say: the liberal democratic model of governance assumes that the people who run the physical economy will always keep running it regardless of what policies get imposed on them. Ireland just proved that assumption wrong in six days. The administrative class governs at the pleasure of the productive class, not the other way around. That truth has been obscured for decades by complexity, by financialization, by the comfortable distance between policy and consequence. The Iran war closed that distance overnight. Diesel went up 70% and suddenly the relationship between the people who make decisions and the people who drive trucks became very simple and very clear. What happens tomorrow depends on turnout. If shops actually close and streets actually fill, Martin is governing a country that has already moved on without him. The no confidence vote becomes a formality. Not because the numbers flip but because the legitimacy is already gone. You can’t govern people who have stopped consenting to be governed by you. That’s what Ireland looks like right now.

@jakeshieldsajj Oh stop with the free healthcare lol. The state of their healthcare is a joke

I’m in Vietnam a “communist” country and they are clearly on an upward swing It’s clean safe beautiful, zero homeless, free healthcare and little crime Their GDP is growing 4 times faster than in America Now I'm not a communist but this isn’t the horror we were told

@JPunts97 Meta ban easily. Hard to get an X account banned

@GLynchRacing 8th Cheltenham 🫶

It’s a been brilliant week as always but it’s heartbreaking to say that Envoi Allen has passed away. He collapsed on the way back in from his final run. He was a fantastic racehorse who was a friend to thousands over the past 6 or so seasons. That’s very sad.

@RoadCheltenham 🫶

💔 Heartbreaking news following the conclusion of the Cheltenham Gold Cup as ENVOI ALLEN is sadly no longer with us. The word 'legend' is thrown around a fair bit but he certainly fell into that category for me - especially at Down Royal and Cheltenham.

@RacingTV Noooooo

ITV Racing are reporting that Envoi Allen has collapsed on the horsewalk & the screens are up. Our fingers are firmly crossed that he is OK. We will keep you updated 🤞

@RoadCheltenham @WillieMullinsNH Turners?

✅ The @WillieMullinsNH intern saw the tweet and gave the heads up - MIGHTY PARK in.

@zerohedge @FBI @FBIDirectorKash Lol

Dear @FBI and @FBIDirectorKash there is a Logitech cloud server that has recordings from cameras on Epstein's island (installer Jermaine Ruan now works for the USVI Bureau of Corrections), the kind that Epstein couldn't destroy. Not to do your job, but can you subpoena it?

Pam Bondi, the Epstein files, “aliens are real”… and what’s that other guy’s name again?

@RoKhanna @ShawnRyan762 @RepThomasMassie MORE OF THIS

.@ShawnRyan762 cuts through all the lies and DOJ's efforts to smear @RepThomasMassie & me. He is a stand up guy who has the backs of anyone willing to expose pedophiles and take on the Epstein class. Must watch.

@ShawnRyan762 @ShawnRyanShow More more more of this

@StuartAkister @IrishNHTips By about a million times.

@IrishNHTips Is it a lot easier to pay companies to ban folk on Facebook and instagram than it is on here?

And so it continues... hmm I wonder who could be behind this 🤔

@IrishNHTips @quarterfirst4 So easy to get an Instagram account suspended. Then fuck all you can really fo to get it back. Horror stories on reddit of people losing their IG with 1000s of followers. Peoples businesses gone overnight and not even told why.

The pettiness of PSA continues as my Instagram account has been suspended through my association with a friend of the spaces. Never once posted anything related to that person's substack or otherwise on my Instagram. @quarterfirst4 also a victim the pettiness
