<p>In political comments, it seems everybody has their own definition of Left & Right, which leaves Center a no-man's-land. This confusion arises because the words have become accusations rather than descriptive terms. However, with the radicalization of The Left, and its tight association with Social Justice & Identity Politics, a clearer distinction has arisen: liberty, personal au...

<p>Reviewing your opportunities is always a good bet:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Losers will always try to reverse the scales against the winners.</p> </li> <li> <p>Modern feudalism is just feudalism without the starvation.</p> </li> <li> <p>Everyone's a slave; it's simply a matter of definition.</p> </li> <li> &...

<p>One thing everyone can do, even the most incompetent, is buy a lottery ticket. In America, wealth is so admired that it makes no difference where it comes from: earned, inherited, stolen, and especially lottery winnings. Everyone is both glad & envious when they hear someone wins the lottery because it proves that they too may also win the lottery someday; so people buy lottery ticket...

<p>10% of the population, that's people with an IQ lower than 86, are incurable incompetents who will fail spectacularly if left to their own devices. They can’t even enlist in the military because they require too much oversight. Most incompetent people don’t graduate from High School, and many of the ones that do, shouldn’t have. Plus, a lot of people get incompetent as they get older. The...

<p>Ambition is the spark of business but capability & commitment are close seconds; and all three are supercharged by testosterone. This explains why almost all scions of business are male because it's all about the status & power, from which comes the attention of females, propagating a line of human beings with ambition, capability & commitment, who eventually walked on the moo...

<p>Capitalism rides the coat-tails of Free Markets, but markets don't require Capitalism. Capitalism is using money to make money but Markets use productivity to make money; the former is imaginary, the latter is real. Because Capitalism is a made up game, it's easy to exploit the rules. If you were explaining Capitalism to a child, it would go something like this: “Imagine you have money; t...

<p>Another of the core Protestant Work Ethic values that is deteriorating is the idea of taking your best opportunities, which has been replaced with the egocentric idea of pursing your passion. This is one of the manifestations of selfish liberty, the egalitarian kind without responsibility, where individuals are trying for maximum happiness, as judged by themselves. Unfortunately, almost e...

<p>Why are Western societies so lucky? If you examine the history of America, for example, its establishment and expansion was just one lucky incident after another; it couldn't have been planned. There was no grand strategy fashioned by the Founding Fathers; they were simply the right people in the right place at the right time; in short, they were lucky. Societies are lucky because the peo...

<p>Everybody's a slave: conscientiousness is the yoke, and personal attachments are the chains; obligations are just as binding as cold iron. There are all kinds of slavery: you're a slave to your family, a slave to your job, and certainly a slave to your responsibilities. It's not just metaphorical, there are also tangible measurements of slavery: how big is your Student Loan debt? How many...

<p>Conservative Americans dismiss the threat of modern feudalism as an idea from Medieval times, not applicable in an era of personal liberty. But in a very real way, average people now are just as much vassals, and the elites are more than lords, than anytime in history. It's not a slavery situation, even in the past there was a veneer of commoners being paid in some way; low-wage jobs are...

<p>Politics will always be the losers against the winners. The winners want to maintain the status quo because they already have control, and whatever sophistry the losers use as justification for overturning the established order can be ignored because they simply want control. In a democracy, as long as the numbers aren't too lopsided, the status quo will continue because it takes a lot mo...

<p>The concept of racism definitely needs review:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Stereotypes are racist but so is everything else.</p> </li> <li> <p>Intersectionality is the idea that some people are owed based on past grievances.</p> </li> <li> <p>Your Intersectionality Score determines your place in the grievance hierarchy based on...

<p>The quest for diversity has jumped the shark; colleges and businesses have started hiring Vice Presidents of Diversity. What are these people to do in such a high-level job? The result is frightening: now as part of the job application process, the three things an applicant must include are a resume, Applicant letter, and a mandatory Diversity Oath. The Oath isn’t just a check box or sign...

<p>Wokeness was made popular by Black Lives Matter during the last decade. It's supposed to be applied to Whites who acknowledge their racist guilt and wallow in self-loathing because of it. It's not a quest for knowledge or redemption; Whites don't get points for consciousness of their wokeness; in fact, their very mention of how woke they are is deemed cultural appropriation. The idea is t...

<p>It's tough to tell the difference between White Supremacists, White Separatists & White Nationalists because all 3 terms have been demonized by conflating them so no one wants to admit they can tell. The White Supremacist label evokes another time, one modern sensibilities can't quite grasp because clearly, Whites are not on the top of the intelligence scale. It's particularly difficu...

<p>The word "Nazi" has entered the realm of Oral Illusions as a way to control a narrative. I've never met a Nazi of any kind. When Antifa doxxed a couple supposedly Neo-Nazis near where I live, I emailed them to see if they would join my political forum, and tell me what it was they are thinking? But they never responded after multiple attempts, so I don't know how real that was;...

<p>In the 1960s, America decided it was going to “fix” its race problem. It got a lot of news coverage, and incessantly talked about in politics, even getting some serious Civil Rights legislation passed in 1957, 1960, 1964, 1965, and 1968; and it went right to the big gun: indoctrination. Starting young, the first day of kindergarten perhaps, school kids began being taught that all people s...

<p>Reparations is the proposed solution to correct past injustices in the pantheon of all things must be made equal. The concept of Reparations violates the liberal doctrine that sons are not responsible for the sins of their fathers, but egalitarianism is decidedly not liberal; in fact, it's illiberal. It's quite disorienting to hear advocating of reverse-slavery because we are so habituate...

<p>The All Things R Racist category now includes the concepts of “on time” and “time efficiency.” Apparently, the very idea that a person should use their time wisely and productively is a creation of Whites. According to diversity training guidelines, expecting people from other cultures to show up on time is racist, and chastising them for being late is oppressive. In fact, the claim goes...

<p>With the new definition of racism, one Martin Luther King wouldn't even recognize, where only white people can be racist; it turns out things can be racist too. The list is long but here are some examples: Credit scores, Car insurance, Crime statistics, Halloween costumes, Disney movies, White chefs who make burritos, Milk, Tanning, Math, Science, Proper English grammar, Patriotism, Makeu...

<p>The traditional definition of racism was someone who judged other people, not from the content of their character, but by the color of their skin. This concept may sound familiar; it's a twist of Martin Luther King's famous quote, and was the definition of racism up until this millennium. American law requires both action & intent for something to be criminal, and assumes we cannot re...

<p>Intersectionality, the new face of egalitarianism, purports to be analytical, and has a simple test to “calculate your oppression, gain social justice for the marginalized, fight oppression, and make America great.” It consists of 13 sliders labeled: white, straight, male, cisgender, rich, young, able-bodied, English first language, born in USA, higher education, Christian, Muslim & J...

<p>The fundamental ideological split in politics, any politics, anywhere, is the winners vs. losers of the status quo; it's a simple fact that half the population will benefit from taking from the other half. Few people want to state it as blatantly as that because it warns those from who the taking will occur, so instead, language is distorted and conclusions are assumed; the biggest one be...

<p>Jews are smart; Mexicans work hard; Asians persevere. Stereotypes are good more often than they aren't, and the impression only lasts for the first minute anyway, then the person underneath comes through. Preconceptions are how the human brain works; an oak tree is an icon in your head; you know it will lose its leaves in the winter without waiting for it to happen. How could we, as human...

<p>What things in the business environment need review?</p> <ol> <li> <p>Modern Monetary Theory is a non-modern theory that money is imaginary.</p> </li> <li> <p>The Money Supply can't be measured because it’s unlimited.</p> </li> <li> <p>There hasn't been much devaluation of the dollar because the alternative currencies...
