The more I think of it, the more I'm convinced central banking, debt-based fiat currency, and the power to print money from thin air to give it to insiders and the electorate at will has created this crazy world. 🧵👇

@StefanMolyneux Purple! Purple! Purple! Purple!Purple! Purple!

How many minds have you changed on X using reason and evidence?

@StefanMolyneux You guys are lit on X. No issues here.

@StefanMolyneux You're a brave man, Stef! My makeup comes from Home Depot!

@TheAliceSmith Communists categorize money into 'not property' unlike your liver or kidney. Given that government declares what money is via fiat, it's easy for communists to see government money as government owned. We both know in a voluntary society no one would accept fiat as money.

Communists make a distinction between private property and personal property. Private property is what the people own under capitalism. Personal property is what the state permits you to use under Communism.

@TheAliceSmith It wouldn't be if government schools taught your great-great-great-grandfather's book.

Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire hasn’t taken anything away from your slice of the pie. Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire has expanded the total size of the pie. This really shouldn’t be difficult to grasp.

Of course it's not.

@Heccles94 You wouldn't know how. You'd turn it into a 300 baud modem.

I’d buy X and turn it back into Twitter

@PositivFuturist Did you start a @gofundme for homelessness, publish the page, persuade everyone to donate to this worthy and noble cause? It's about 100 keystrokes and a couple of clicks away.

Elon could literally solve homelessness tomorrow. All he needs to do is sell his stake in the companies he created from the ground up, crashing the price and evaporating his wealth as well as the savings and pensions of workers globally.. handing the control of these companies over to short term profit interests and preventing any long term vision from being enacted.. THEN take whatever money that remains which will be nowhere near 1tn and give it to homeless charities who have never solved homelessness anywhere on earth because they’re financially incentivised to do the opposite. Bam - homelessness solved. The reason he doesn’t do any of this is because he’s evil.

I’m so angry that Elon Musk forced me to give him money for stuff I didn’t want, didn’t ask for, and don’t agree with, that doesn’t work. And by “Elon Musk” I mean the government.

@AntiTrumpCanada 😂😂

Fun Fact: 100% of trillionaires are Nazi motherfuckers.

@SaltasticTakes +1 for the PAF pickup reference.

@rationalposts The only way to go. Those last forever just like 1950s pickups

Elon built electric cars, helped with free speech,brought internet to everyone, is helping people to overcome handicaps, and built rockets to the stars. I won’t buy a Tesla, I might get Starlink, hopefully will never need Neurolink, and won’t live to see Mars. Socialists want us on buses, censored, equally handicapped, and in mud huts.

@CTVNews You couldn't just wish him a happy birthday, then lick your government bailout money quietly afterwords?

Trump turns 80 with a showstopping spectacle of cage fights at the White House. But big issues loom ctvnews.ca/world/article/…

@SaltasticTakes Nah, still on rotary phone.

@rationalposts You missing out on Tesla Still on blackberry btw?

This headline brought to you by media taxpayer bailout money.

How the Left understands wealth.

The demographic that consumes and believes media, answers polls, responds to surveys, and vote in droves:

@rationalposts I think the "left" and the "right" exist on the extreme perimeters. Most people are then forced to choose between this false Binary. The extreme ends capture the majority. x.com/i/status/19868…

Left vs. Right is a small spectrum of debate that we have been squeezed into. Every country in the world can be viewed as a tax farm run via different handbooks. The trick is to implement a methodology where you can maximize the resources you skim off your tax cattle without causing them to despair and reduce resource production. The Tax Farm of North Korea has an Authoritarian manual where they require many farm hands to keep the tax cattle in control. The Tax Farm of Canada reduces the number of farm hands they need by getting the tax cattle to bicker and stampede against each other over the choice of their next set of Tax Farmers. Sometimes we call this 'democracy' as the tax cattle foolishly believe they are free and not free-range. As an evil ruler, I can't make chickens lay more eggs. I'd much rather own humans that own chicken farms and scare the farmers into giving more of the eggs their chickens produce. Sometimes we call this procedure 'taxation'. The extreme ends is a voluntary society where we have governance without governments and totalitarianism government on the other. By whatever names they call themselves.

I'm watching the false dichotomy of Capitalism vs Socialism being illustrated succinctly by the responses to this news. People are truly trapped between these conceptual parameters. The so called left want Musk to be punished and forced to distribute his accumulated wealth. The so called right, celebrate this, and say everyone should simply work harder. The ole pull yourself up by your bootstraps argument. In this economy. 😬 What's ironic for me, is the fact that the people who are naive enough to believe the elitist class is pushing Socialism are probably naive enough to believe we presently live under Capitalism. We are debt ridden wage slaves under a usurious neofeudalist system. We don't have to stifle productivity or get rid of free enterprise to change this. In Canada: 42-43% of your average families income goes to taxes, according to the Fraser Institute. 25% of all taxable revenue goes to service our national debt. There is a private banking oligarchy who has a virtual monopoly on the creation of credit. They inform our policies and control our political class. They maintain their dominance by keeping us divided and in a perpetual state of scarcity. The left-vs-right slave dialectic is the primary mechanism they utilize to manipulate our behavior. Our main adversary is International finance. Everything else is a distraction. We require transformational monetary reform to escape this tyranny. Nothing else will suffice.

I like reading posts that are free from ad-hominem, produce evidence to back assertions and not filled with empty derision.
