It's always funny seeing socialists say they "follow the science."

Because when Stalin decided DNA was right-wing propaganda, they shot every scientist who disagreed. The story of how ideology murdered genetics—and millions of people. 🧵 Picture this: You're a brilliant geneticist in 1930s Soviet Union.

You've spent years studying how traits pass from parents to offspring.

Your research could help feed millions. But there's a problem. Your science contradicts the party line.

Stalin's solution? Kill the science by killing the scientists.

Your professor talks about inflation, housing costs, and wage stagnation like they're mysterious natural forces.

But there's one date they never mention—the day everything changed: August 15, 1971.

That's when Nixon broke the money system. 🧵 Your wallet has been paying for Nixon's decision ever since.

Fifty years of "temporary" monetary policy have systematically transferred wealth from savers to asset owners, from workers to Wall Street, from your generation to the political class.

This isn't economics—it's organized theft.

"Sweden is proof socialism works!"

Your professor loves this story. Politicians too. But there's one problem: Sweden got rich BEFORE it tried socialism.

And when they actually tried it, everything fell apart. 🧵 Every campus economics debate ends the same way.

Someone drops the Sweden card: "High taxes, big welfare—and they're rich and happy!"

This myth has become the ultimate trump card against free market arguments. But what if the entire foundation of this story is backwards?

School feels like a prison? That's not a bug. That's a feature.

The modern education system wasn't created to enlighten minds—it was designed to break them into compliance. 🧵 Think back to high school.

Did you ever feel trapped in a machine with its own purposes, completely disconnected from what you wanted to learn?

That feeling reveals something fundamental: you weren't imagining the prison-like atmosphere. It was engineered that way.

Most parents tried to ban their kids from watching South Park.

But while you were laughing at Cartman's schemes, something else was happening: you were getting a political education.

Here are 7 lessons that show South Park will make you understand politics better than any civics class. 🧵 South Park created a generation who distrust both parties, spot BS instantly, and think for themselves.

They disguised brutal political truths as crude humor—and it worked better than any textbook.

Many people think legal immigration to the US works like this: apply, wait in line, get approved.

The reality? 99.4% of would-be immigrants have NO legal pathway to enter America.

Here's how the "wall of paper" makes legal immigration nearly impossible: 🧵 Immigration law in the US doesn't just have bureaucracy—it has prohibition.

Think of it like drug prohibition. There may be a few exceptions, but in practice, it's forbidden for almost everyone.

In 1958, Mao promised to turn China into an "industrial and egalitarian powerhouse."

Instead, he created one of history's deadliest famines.

15-45 million people starved to death because of socialist central planning.

Here's how utopian promises became mass murder: 🧵 The Great Leap Forward had noble goals:

→ Transform China from agrarian to industrial

→ Create equality through collective ownership

→ Achieve rapid economic progress

Sound familiar? It's the same promise every socialist makes.

Today is George Orwell's birthday.

He wasn't a capitalist, but he wrote the two most powerful anti-totalitarian novels in history.

Animal Farm and 1984 are more relevant today than when he wrote them.

Here's why his warnings matter now more than ever: 🧵 Even though Orwell supported democratic socialism, he understood something crucial:

Power corrupts—regardless of ideology.

His books express the spirit of rejecting oppression, whether it comes from the left or right.

The Korean War wasn't a geopolitical accident.

It was the direct result of an authoritarian decision: communists boycotted UN-supervised elections, crushed opposition, then launched a military offensive to seize power by force.

The history is clear—but rarely told honestly. 🧵 While the UN promoted free elections on the peninsula, Kim Il-sung's regime: → Closed its borders → Banned observers
→ Declared itself the legitimate government

No ballots, no democracy—only a personality cult backed by Soviet tanks.

Socialists promise "equality" will solve everything.

But equal misery is still misery.

Still, they've convinced millions that being equally poor is better than being unequally prosperous.

How did we fall for this? 🧵 Let's look at what "equality" really means in practice.

France and Myanmar have identical income inequality levels according to the World Bank.

But: France = wealthy, developed Myanmar = 40% live below the poverty line

Clearly, "equal" doesn't always mean "better."

Ayn Rand predicted in the 1960s everything happening now.

Campus extremists. Environmental policies advocating human poverty. Race as a criterion for everything. Hatred of success.

This isn't a description of 2025. It's what she warned about 60 years ago. 🧵 In The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution (1971), Rand collected essays from the 1960s describing a disturbing trend:

Students solving political disputes through brute force instead of logic, reason, and persuasion.

Sound familiar?

Authoritarians never say “we’re taking away your freedom.”

They say:

→ “We’re protecting democracy.”
→ “We’re ensuring your safety.”
→ “We’re fighting disinformation.”

Do you fall for it? 🧵 It’s all about the language game.

They didn’t say the Berlin wall was to stop people from escaping socialism…

They called it the “Anti-Fascist Barrier.”

Progressive movements literally only exist because of free speech protections.

Now they're cheering for censorship.

They're about to destroy the very thing that created them.

Isn't this the definition of irony? 🧵 Every major progressive win in America started as "dangerous" speech that authorities tried to silence. [1] [2]

Your campus militants skip this history lesson. Probably because they don't know it.

Let's check the receipts:

Everything bad you've heard about nuclear energy is a myth.

Nuclear is safer than wind. Cleaner than solar. More reliable than both.

Yet environmentalists hate it more than coal🧵. If you believe we're facing climate doom, nuclear energy is literally our best shot to avoid it.

But decades of fear-mongering have turned the safest energy source into the most hated.

Time to bust some myths:

“I support liberty more than you"

Liberty isn't a cult. Stop treating it like one.

Here's why dogmatic libertarians are becoming liberty's worst enemy 🧵 These days, it's like a race to see who can be the most "libertarian/classical liberal."

Grounded in dogmatism, they act like there's only one way to justify liberty, one way to support it, or one way to advance it.

They're more like Marxists than liberty-lovers.

Communist parties' rule have killed something between 90-150 million people in the last century.

Every single time the same pattern happens: Mass death → Economic collapse → People fleeing → "That wasn't real communism!"

Isn't it? So let's check the receipts 🧵 The Soviet Experiment: "Workers' paradise," they said.

Stalin's policies killed around 20 million people through purges, famines, and labor camps. [1]

The Holodomor alone starved 3-7 million Ukrainians in just two years. [1]

But hey, at least everyone was equally miserable, right?

Don't shame Milton Friedman: Stop being terrible at selling liberty.

Here's a 4-step guide to actually persuading people instead of just arguing with them 🧵 Classical liberals often get frustrated that their ideas aren't popular.

While statist ideologies offer utopian promises, liberals find themselves with the demanding role of conveying reality.

Let's face it: this contrast is a difficult pill to swallow.

Your history teacher lied to you.

Stalin didn't fight fascism—he tried to JOIN the Axis and divide the world with Hitler.

Here's what really happened 🧵 Many know about the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact.

Modern socialists claim it was just to "delay the war."

What they won't tell you: While the free world fought fascism, Stalin was actively trying to join the Axis.

Your professor won't tell you this:

The West didn't just practice slavery—it's the civilization that ENDED slavery worldwide.

Here's the history they're hiding from you 🧵 Slavery existed everywhere for thousands of years.

As Thomas Sowell wrote: "It was a worldwide institution, entrenched on every inhabited continent, subjugating people of every color, language, and religion."

When a few people on a tiny island began to battle against it, no one believed they could win.

Rent control: "welfare for the rich"?

What if this "compassionate" policy is actually a wealth transfer from young, poor, and minority renters to older, established, mostly white tenants?

The data is brutal 🧵 Here's what they don't tell you about rent control.

A paper in the Journal of Urban Economics found who actually lives in rent-controlled apartments in NYC:

Mostly older, middle-class white tenants in nice neighborhoods.

Meanwhile, young people and minorities pay sky-high market rates.

If you think Milei is radical, wait until you see the "national conservatives" he was up against.

They destroyed one of the world's richest countries in 80 years.

Here's how Argentina went from prosperity to poverty—and back again 🧵 This isn't ancient history.

It's a real-time case study of what happens when trade policies are set by rhetoric instead of facts.

And every student needs to understand this before they graduate into an economy shaped by similar talking points.
