Pourquoi le socialisme ne marche pas, expliqué pour un enfant de 10 ans. T'es dans une classe de 30 élèves. Un élève bosse comme un fou et a 18 de moyenne. Un autre fait rien et a 4. Le prof décide que c'est injuste et donne à tout le monde la moyenne de la classe : 11. Celui qui avait 18 arrête de bosser. Pourquoi se fatiguer si ça change rien ? Celui qui avait 4 continue de rien faire. Pourquoi bosser si on te donne 11 gratuitement ? L'année suivante la moyenne de la classe est à 7. Puis 5. Puis 3. Le prof ne comprend pas. Il pense que le problème c'est que les élèves ne sont pas assez solidaires. Alors il met en place des punitions pour ceux qui ne font pas assez d'efforts. Il surveille tout le monde. Il décide qui étudie quoi. Il interdit de changer de classe. C'est exactement ce qui s'est passé. À chaque fois. Dans chaque pays. Sans exception. URSS, Chine, Cuba, Venezuela, Corée du Nord, Cambodge, Éthiopie, Allemagne de l'Est. 40 tentatives. Même résultat. À chaque fois. Le socialisme punit ceux qui produisent et récompense ceux qui ne produisent pas. Tout le monde finit par ne plus produire. Et quand plus personne ne produit, le gouvernement utilise la force pour obliger les gens à travailler. C'est pas un accident. C'est le design.

Il y a une phrase que j'adore : "Je suis communiste avec ma famille, socialiste avec mes amis, libéral avec mon pays, et capitaliste avec le reste du monde." Cette phrase est brillante parce qu'elle résume l'erreur numéro un que font les gens quand ils réfléchissent aux systèmes économiques : appliquer ce qui marche à petite échelle à grande échelle sans comprendre que la complexité des systèmes change tout. Le communisme avec ta famille ça marche. Tu partages tout, tu ne comptes pas, chacun donne selon ses capacités et reçoit selon ses besoins. Et ça fonctionne. Parce que tu es 4 ou 5 personnes, que tu connais tout le monde intimement, que la confiance est totale, que la tricherie est impossible à cacher, et que l'amour remplace les incitations économiques. Le socialisme avec tes amis ça marche aussi. Un groupe de 20-30 personnes. Tu partages les restos, tu aides un pote à déménager, tu files un coup de main sans compter. La réciprocité est naturelle parce que tu connais chaque personne et que ta réputation est en jeu. Mais dès que tu passes à l'échelle d'un pays, 68 millions de personnes, tout s'effondre. Pourquoi ? Parce que la complexité des systèmes est non linéaire. S'organiser à 5 c'est trivial. S'organiser à 50 c'est difficile. S'organiser à 50 millions c'est un problème d'une complexité fondamentalement différente. C'est pas juste "plus dur". C'est qualitativement un autre problème. À grande échelle, tu ne connais plus les gens. La confiance disparaît. La tricherie devient invisible. Les passagers clandestins prolifèrent. L'information nécessaire pour coordonner 68 millions de personnes dépasse la capacité de n'importe quel planificateur central. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises (1920) et de l'information dispersée de Hayek (1945). Un cerveau central ne peut pas traiter l'information que des millions de prix de marché transmettent en temps réel. C'est exactement pour ça que le communisme produit des familles heureuses et des pays morts. Le modèle ne scale pas. Pas parce que les gens sont méchants. Parce que la complexité des systèmes rend la coordination centralisée impossible au-delà d'un certain seuil. Et c'est l'erreur de jugement fondamentale que font la plupart des gens qui adhèrent aux thèses marxistes. Ils prennent leur expérience du partage en famille ou entre amis, un modèle qui marche à 5-20 personnes, et ils l'extrapolent à 68 millions de personnes en ignorant complètement l'émergence de la complexité. "Si ça marche chez moi, ça devrait marcher pour le pays." Non. La physique des systèmes complexes dit exactement le contraire. Le marché libre c'est le seul système qui scale. Parce qu'il ne dépend pas de la confiance personnelle, ni de la bonne volonté, ni d'un planificateur omniscient. Il dépend de prix qui transmettent l'information, d'incitations qui alignent les comportements, et de la concurrence qui corrige les erreurs. C'est un système conçu pour fonctionner avec des inconnus, à n'importe quelle échelle. Sois communiste avec ta famille. Socialiste avec tes amis. Et libéral avec tout le reste. Parce que la taille du système détermine le modèle qui fonctionne. Pas tes bonnes intentions.

This Easter, we remember: Israel obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon. A sacred site that stood for over 2,000 years, now in ruins. This is a war crime. This is a crime against history.

Same water. Same tank. But the one on the right has oysters. A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day. Oyster reefs in the Chesapeake Bay once filtered the entire Bay, 19 trillion gallons, in under a week. Today, with less than 1% of the original oyster population remaining, it takes over a year. We ate them. We dredged their reefs. We dumped nitrogen into their water until the algae blooms choked what was left. And now we build billion dollar water treatment plants to do what oysters did for free. The Billion Oyster Project is working to restore oyster reefs in New York Harbor. Restored reefs in Maryland's Harris Creek can now filter the entire creek in under 10 days and remove nitrogen equivalent to 20,000 bags of fertilizer every year. Nature had this figured out. We just have to restore the oysters and get out of the way.

On bashing the French and the British…a kind “Go pound sand” to the Fox News crowd who seems to have found their new talking point…so a quick note right here… that in my old world, both countries have been with us time and again. Actual professionals who have been in conflict-not DC creatures who were press secretaries like Ari-know the real deal. For example -the French military provided critical assistance to US SOF during a deadly ambush in Niger in 2017. Saved lives. In extremis. Huge appreciation from the US IC and SOF world. We know when friends come thru. Overall French CT efforts in Africa-who had the lead over us for many years- also helped save US lives. And don’t forget 90 French military were KIA in Afghanistan. That’s a pretty solid ally, when we were in a pinch. Next-US and British forces and intel r tied at the hip, but let’s focus in Afghanistan and Iraq. With 600 plus British KIA in both conflicts. 600 plus. This is all real sacrifice. British intel also on daily basis helps us wrap up terrorist networks, stop proliferation of WMD, better u detest and Russia, Iran, N Korea, and China, so many other massive value added they provide. A superb ally. Essential even. Finally, as Jonah notes, Trump is totally responsible for poisoning the alliance. European reluctance to assist is largely because Trump is so toxic it is politically impossible for other democracies-whose citizens loathe Trump to the core-to do anything other than give us the finger. So all said, as a former ntl security professional who got my hands dirty in our global escapades alongside these allies, I say thank u to them. Particularly!! the British and the French. Have a lovely day.

"America is an unstoppable warrior nation" Examples of the wars America won: >War of 1812. Washington DC burned, called it a draw. >Spanish American War. Beat a collapsing empire, then spent years failing to pacify the Philippines. >World War I. Entered late into a deadlocked trench war and tipped the balance. >World War II. Entered late again, opportunistically raced the Soviets to Berlin, took credit for Soviet victory. Easily crushed the overextended Japanese who were already bleeding out against the Chinese. >Korean War. Fought to a stalemate and froze the border where it started. >Vietnam War. Overwhelming firepower, still lost. >Gulf War. The one clean, decisive victory everyone jerks off to. Still no regime change. >War in Afghanistan. Longest war in U.S. history, ended where it began. Taliban in control. >Iraq War. Finally got regime change, only to hand influence to Iran.

The Epstein files.... Epstein while murdering children said "They're like shrimp... you throw away the head, keep the body." The worst Epstein file i have ever read.

A French journalist in Iran confirms Trump and Israel bombed: • 8 pharmaceutical factories — including a cancer medication facility • 60 pharmacies • Hospitals • One of the oldest medical research institutions in the region These aren’t military targets They’re lifelines

As French bashing is at its best today (again), with a lot of completely made up quotes, in particular, the false statement of US Gen Schwarzkopf ("Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion…"), HERE is what Schwarzkopf said about French Army in 1991

@saitama_5992 non, c'est normal et devrait être la norme dans tous les pays.

I'd like to ask people overseas: Is it strange for Japanese people to advocate for "Japanese First"? Is it wrong to ask your own government to prioritize its own citizens?

The bombing of the biggest bridge in Iran that Trump was bragging about today was a “double tap” strike & the second strike occurred while emergency responders were assisting the wounded. Targeting rescue workers and civilians is a war crime. The US and Israel are the terrorists.

Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes. $1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity. One hour before the announcement. Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time. They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades. Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium. The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened. This is not the first time. It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves. But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it. Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind. These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world. I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here. This isn't politics anymore. This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

🚨 let me tell you why France is the only thing that matters in this headline.. Russia and China blocking a UN resolution to authorize military force against Iran.. nobody is surprised.. that's been the script for 20 years.. but France.. France is America's oldest ally.. they bankrolled the American Revolution.. they gave America the Statue of Liberty.. they are a founding NATO member.. and they just sided with Russia and China.. this happened once before.. February 14, 2003.. France's Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin stood at the UN Security Council and told America it would veto any authorization for the Iraq War.. the chamber applauded.. breaking a protocol that had never been broken before.. France called military force "not justified.." America went in anyway.. 20 years.. $2 trillion.. 4,400 soldiers dead.. and when the dust settled Iran had more influence in Iraq than America did.. France was right.. tonight France called military action in the Strait unrealistic and blocked the resolution again.. the last time France said no in that chamber, history proved them right.. America went in anyway.. and we all know how that ended.
