Can we all agree that violent revolutions are generally a serious hardship for the average person who just wants to get on with their life, it mattering little if it’s a leftist or right-wing revolution?

The revolutionaries—in words recently heard from President Musk and his wingman Donald Trump—convince themselves that average citizens not onl…[Read more]

I think the Kibbutz is a great idea. Many Irish people worked on one for the summer back in the 70’s and 80’s. I have never met anyone who had a bad experience there.

I am sick of hearing from ignorant lefties who think that social media educates them and that their ill-informed opinions are of equal value to freethinkers who study the facts…[Read more]

Enco, i was not thinking of the communist rev. in China. Could be any place. But your take is a gross oversimplification. I oppose doctinaire thinking. Unfortunately we see the overwhelming numbers married to their ideology and incapable of analyzing their betrothed. Regurgitation of political rhetoric is the outer limit for the masses.…[Read more]

Reg,

…and the idea for a sovereign wealth fund is not a very good one…

This is a terrible Universal Basic Income idea of Trump’s. Alaska already has a form of this, where State citizens get a share of oil revenues. It doesn’t change the fact that everything there is more expensive than in the contiguous 48 States due to having to ship eve…[Read more]

Reg,

Who needs the stupid FDA anyway! I am going to chill out tomorrow with a lucky dip of compound meds from “Hims and Hers”.

Indeed. They are the biggest barrier to the drug repurposing we were discussing earlier. If the FDA wasn’t put on a leash, AIDS patients couldn’t use Thalidomide in their therapy.

If the label is accurate and all ris…[Read more]

Jakedelafort,

I am not in any way endorsing communism. Only saying that there are phases in which fledgling nations in exigent circumstances are or may be better served by a dalliance with capitalism than say a fucking ruthless dictator. Imposing from without and having no regard for the people who live there is cold, ice cold. And yes…

“I’ll never understand the christian logic of hating Jews because they turned hay-zeus over for execution. Let’s set asides the lack of evidence of any of this, beyond accounts written in Koine Greek by cultists 40 years later. Did they not require a human sacrifice to be “saved”? They should be thanking the Jews for delivering god to himself…[Read more]
