Five minutes of hate news

Other people being accepting towards collectivism is something that ends up limiting my own personal freedoms. For instance, the right to own a firearm in the US. If enough people decide that owning firearms is a social ill, or a public health issue, and they voluntarily surrender their right to the nanny state, then that impacts my ability to own firearms even if I want it, personally, for myself.

In other words, it is in my interest to promote individualistic beliefs.
I'm not some sort of hyper-individualist, but god damn I agree with these points. I think people should be allowed to be as individualistic as they want. That means firearms, personal freedoms, as long as they aren't harming anybody they should go wild.

You can't even collect fucking rainwater in many places in the West. Fuck that. Everything I want to do is illegal and that is gay.

Our regulators overregulate what private individuals do on our own land, and they underregulate what giant corporations do on theirs. The reason is simple; oligarchs pay for the privileges that they want for themselves, while curtailing the rights of everyone outside the oligarch class. Modern-day liberals think that government is a check on corporate power. It manifestly is not. Regulatory capture and revolving-door hires have seen to that.

When you talk about regulatory capture and revolving-door hires, most people's eyes just sort of glaze over like they don't know what you're talking about, and their brainwashing kicks in.

I'll give you a couple examples. One is Carmen Segarra talking about her experiences as a Fed regulator:


The job right from the start seems to have been different from what she had imagined: In meetings, Fed employees would defer to the Goldman people; if one of the Goldman people said something revealing or even alarming, the other Fed employees in the meeting would either ignore or downplay it. For instance, in one meeting a Goldman employee expressed the view that "once clients are wealthy enough certain consumer laws don't apply to them." After that meeting, Segarra turned to a fellow Fed regulator and said how surprised she was by that statement -- to which the regulator replied, "You didn't hear that."

I'll never forget this paragraph. It has been stuck in my head for years at this point. "Once you're rich enough, the law literally doesn't apply to you." Now tell us something we don't know.

Another example is Google's revolving door with government back in the day.


  • 53 revolving door moves between Google and the White House. Those involved 22 former White House officials who left the administration to work for Google, and 31 Google executives (or from Google's main outside firms) who joined the White House, or were appointed to federal advisory boards.
  • 28 revolving door moves between Google and government positions involving national security, intelligence or the Department of Defense. Seven former national security and intelligence officials and 18 Pentagon officials moved to Google; while three Google executives moved to DoD.
  • 23 revolving door moves between Google and the State Department during the Obama administration. Eighteen former State Department officials joined Google, while five Google officials took up senior posts at the State Department.
I remember showing these stats to people on SB back in the day and they just categorically rejected the very idea that Alphabet and the gubmint were awarding cozy sinecures to each other's people during the Obama administration. Their programming wouldn't allow for them to accept this, because surely, government is a check on the power of big business.

Nonsense. Our government is run by PACs, by crooked billionaire fauxlanthropists, and by kickbacks, cronyism, and revolving-door ass-pats. Any regulation that does happen usually happens to those too poor and isolated to defend themselves from it.

I have never actually understood the logic behind the ban on collecting rainwater.

In theory it's to prevent everyone from completely fucking over the water tables and irreversibly screwing over the ecology of our nations.

In practice, its to stop people from leaving the reservation to have their own lives how they see fit.
 
As long as you know you need to filter and clean the rain water, they can't really stop you
 

Sen. Schumer ADMITS he's running a political INTIMIDATION CAMPAIGN against Republicans in NY


Pfft, what a rude person.
Imagine how hypocritical it'd be if he was from a people who had political violence forced on them in one of the most well known events in history, a tiny ethno-religious minority that would be unlikely enough to be in politics let alone suggesting political intimidation on opponents. Imagine, that'd be crazy. You'd have to be completely tone-deaf and borderline psychopathic.

Back before the worst summer camp ever we used to be able to kick people out of the community for this kind of shit.
 


I know about a dozen people who would have shot the guy no questions asked. lefties be getting real crazy guys.


Smart money is that the progressives are going to go off their nut and get us into a civil war.

If that happens well right now the right has all of the military power so....yeah its going to see them removed from power for a decade at least.
 
I wonder if the masked man is going to have a surprised Pikachu face when he is denied the right to fly by plane for that stunt? They have his plate number how hard is it to find out who he is?
Not difficult at all, if an investigation actually happens.

But as he's clearly a leftoid hit-beast, the loony lefties will do everything in their power to prevent an investigation from ever occurring.

Yeah letting the left get all of the insitutions was a big fucking mistake and we are clearly paying for it. Its going to take a long time to undo that kind of damage.
