Welcome to the first day of 2025. Think for yourself. Lead yourself. Be ungovernable.
This is your reminder that he's a filthy socialist in favor of UBI. He wants to improve the machine of tyranny—not eliminate it. He may be a force for good in some areas, but he's not a proponent of freedom.

Bro I studied philosophy at university. Marx wasn't just a terrible philosopher in economics, he was literally the dumbest motherfucker ever considered a philosopher by anybody in every other branch of philosophy as well. I have read that trash, thanks.
"Piers Morgan is the Jerry Springer Show for contemporary politics. When I see people I know on the show, I lose respect for them. I think it's trashy. I think it's a sellout for a spot of attention." yeah... pretty much... Censored, with Piers Springer
gah. The argument from linguistic overload fallacy is everywhere. I even did it on accident today with this super great sounding "argument". In response to saying taxation is the price we pay for civilized society, to which I confidently snapped back, "The two are contradictory.…
There are no scenarios in which 0% tax is or should be considered the extreme. There are those that would agree 100% is extreme but that simultaneously 0% is as well. No, no it is not. 0% tax IS THE DEFAULT Starting position of every man and woman. To argue that any tax should…

Implicit loyalty is the natural response to virtue. Explicit loyalty is an anti-virtue, a red flag, a manipulation. If someone deserves their connection with you by proving themselves honest, trustworthy, and dependable over time, you'll tend to support that person in return…
Before you spend $400 on a pro level headset from @SteelSeries you need to understand that they stop selling important replacement parts for them shortly after they move on to a new model. Dont expect to be able to use them after a few years when you need new ear pads. Probably…
11 years ago today, Eric Garner (the gentle giant) was choked to death by NYPD for selling individual cigarettes. No officer was ever convicted and the only person punished was the man who recorded it. #JusticeForEricGarner
Stop opposing pedophile blackmail rings you’re hurting Trumps chance at a 3rd term where he’ll end the Russia Ukraine War on day 1 then abolish the Deep State!
The Dems are trying to use the Epstein Files to stop Trump. Let’s not be dumb enough to help them.
The goal is not truth, liberty, honesty, or justice—the goal is obtaining power—all the words are only in service to it.
Lying detaches me and those that believe my lies from reality. It distorts everyone's values away from those that will be most efficacious in the world. It provides a thin unreliable veneer over whomever I truly am, allowing me to get away with being a worse person, rather than…
If you’re an atheist, what reason do you have to not lie?
