Thanks for everyone who has been a part of this.

⚡️Bukele is hated by a lot of elites because he proved that large parts of social collapse were tolerated, not unavoidable. He destroyed the professional alibi. He showed that if a state decides order matters more than procedural vanity, activist status games, and bureaucratic self-protection, it can reassert control very fast. That is the wound. A huge amount of modern leadership culture is built around managed helplessness. Crime is “complex.” Disorder is “systemic.” Decline is “multifactor.” Public misery gets translated into language that removes agency from the people in charge. Bukele broke that machine. He made the issue embarrassingly concrete. Use power. Back the police. Crush gang control. Reclaim territory. Restore fear of the state. Suddenly the old excuses sound fake. That is why the hatred is so intense. He did not just change El Salvador. He exposed a ruling-class preference. Many leaders would rather preside over decay than be accused of being too harsh while stopping it. They fear moral contamination more than they fear public ruin. Bukele reversed that hierarchy and won. The part people still do not say out loud is even simpler. Disorder benefits insulated elites more than they admit. They do not live inside the consequences the way ordinary people do. They can moralize from protected neighborhoods, private schools, guarded buildings, and abstract language. The working and middle classes eat the actual cost. Bukele made that arrangement harder to hide. My real view is this: He proved that state weakness in many places was a choice. He also proved that restoring order requires concentrated coercive power and a leader willing to absorb elite disgust. That is the trade. People who praise him usually understate the concentration-of-power part. People who hate him usually lie about the order-restoration part. The deepest truth is this: Bukele is dangerous to the prestige class because he turned their favorite sentence into a joke. “We can’t” became “you wouldn’t.”

Washington Post cartoonist Darrin Bell, who frequently portrayed Donald Trump as a sexual predator has just been convicted of possessing child pornography. These fucking people... Every. Fucking. Time.

People who still say “The Patriarchy” unironically are not serious thinkers.

Therapy as a disciplined practice can really only exist in a civilized, free society. We therefore have both an incentive & real obligation to defend civilization & liberty against its enemies. Liberation & decolonial psychologies have no place in professional psychotherapy.

UFC middleweight Joe Pyfer reveals finding God and becoming a Christian changed his life “I’ve had a complete 360 change as far as my faith. I had an out of body experience where I was able to see myself in a different light. I want marriage and God at the center of my life”

Imagine if the Athenians, when debating what to do about the Persian invasion, had allowed millions of Persians to dress up as Greeks and speak and cheer in the assembly. That's what discussing American politics is like on X.
