How Usury Breaks Capitalism: A Thread

Imagine a simple economy with $100 total in circulation.

But there’s a catch: all the money is created by bank loans at 3% interest.

Every dollar exists because someone borrowed it.

(1/25) That means the total debt is $100, but the total owed is $103.

Where will the extra $3 come from?

It doesn’t exist. The economy only contains $100.

Young people can't read third-person omniscient view point novels. Here's why. 🧵

Young readers struggle with third person omniscient, and publishers see it clearly. A voice that knows too much, moves too freely, and speaks with judgment feels alien. Readers call it confusing or even arrogant. But the root cause is deeper.

A woman gets caught calling a black child the n-word after he tried to grab her purse. What happens next?

The Right raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for her in 72 hours.

This is not a win. This is a disaster. Let’s talk about why the Meme Right portends disaster.

🧵👇 This is meme-coin politics.

A single viral moment. A wave of outrage. Then a dopamine-fueled cash dump to “own the libs.”

Meanwhile, real heroes, the ones saving kids from mutilation or rotting in federal prison from Jan 6, get ignored.

This is not strategy. It’s emotional addiction.

Conservative women will never move the country to the Right.

An illustrative story.

🧵 I was asked to speak at a women’s Republican club in Dallas.

The “solutions” at the end of James Lidsey’s “Cynical Theories” already failed once.

Classical liberalism was the soil in which postmodernism grew. It’s neutral presuppositions are indistinguishable from postmodernism’s.

You cannot reason your way out of a revolution. 🧵

(1) Liberalism refuses to name enemies or wield power against them. Without naming its enemies, liberalism can’t even use its vaunted rationality against enemies, much less power.

You’ve been lied to about slavery.

White Christians were enslaved by African Muslims in staggering numbers.

It was more brutal than American slavery. Few survived.

This is the history they buried,
but “White Slaves, African Masters” exposes it. Most Americans are taught only one kind of slavery. But White Slaves, African Masters reveals a far more brutal system: the Islamic enslavement of white Christians in North Africa. Few survived it.

Predictive programming is a propaganda technique that takes advantage of the mental state required to read fiction or watch movies.

Here’s how it works.

When reading or watching fiction, you are in s suggestible mental state. It’s very similar to the suggestibility obtained in hypnosis.

Under capitalism man exploits man.

Under socialism it’s just the opposite.

Liberal democracy and communism have remarkably similar goals and methods. Communism Utopia: men contribute according to their abilies and receive according to their needs.

Liberal Democracy Utopia: men sell according to their abilities and buy according to their needs.

If you want to become fit for what is to come, body building is not it. Gym fitness will not cut it.

Ignore looks-based fitness regimes.

Look to actual fighting forces to understand what performance -oriented fitness is needed.

I’m proud to say that I led this movement. I’m proud to say many Texas helped, especially @MillerForTexas, @BryanforHD2, and Sen. Bob Hall. They are still leading the charge in the government.

nytimes.com/2022/03/11/us/… I’m ashamed to report that Texas under Gov. Gregg Abbot and Speaker @DadePhelan, blocked all attempts to make castration of children a child abuse offense.

This childless woman runs a lobbying firm. She promoted policies that ripped fathers from the lives of millions of children. Her aim is to weaponize male sexuality into an income stream for single mothers. Her policies lost millions of votes for conservative policies in Texas.

Single women, especially single mothers, vote overwhelmingly for left-wing policies. Amy Bresnan’s lobbying firm has pushed policies that take resources from conservative fathers, and give them to left-wing single mothers.

Single women are mostly responsible for the leftward jolt in American politics.

What should be done about that?

buff.ly/3JafmiD Women's suffrage moved the country to the left. No other model can explain the leftward tilt of American politics. See this study by John Lott.

The sad "Justices" Blacklock and Young corrupted a Texas Supreme Court opinion with their personal biases against fathers. These men should protect parent's rights but attacked me for "refusing to see either of his children in over a year despite abundant opportunities to do so." The "Justices" failed to mention that the court only allowed me supervised visitation on the condition that I affirm that my son is a girl. I was not allowed to change my son out of a dress. I refused to abuse my son. The "Justices" don't get that.
