Liberals want everything to be a reeking pile of mediocrity so we are all equal, and solely depend on the government. I just don't agree. Excellence shouldn't be shunned, it should be celebrated.
Like a wise person once said, the problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money. Â
I mean we live in a free society. You can always donate YOUR money. The problem is YOU want to decide what to do what MY money. Â

There is no such thing as "your money" except what society decides is reasonable for you to claim. At some point we decided it was okay for certain people to, through the threat of violence, confiscate common natural resources for their own personal benefit. Through a similar fashion, the proletariat can decide to reclaim said resources, when it realizes the elites aren't handling that extreme privilege responsibly. We are approaching that tipping point, hence we are seeing the oligarchs using more and more desperate means to hold on to power, through things like Project 2025, DOGE, Palentir and military in the US streets. As well as building doomsday bunkers for themselves.
A reeking pile of mediocrity is the state of the west right now my friend, and that is probably putting it mildly. And we only have one economic system to blame for that.

Nonsense. It is my money in my accounts with my name attached to it. It is my work that provide said money.
And the West is mediocrity? I'll bear that in mind when the entire world uses Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft... every day, all day. The US is flatly leading world-wide innovation. The US doesn't have 8 out of the top 10 companies because reasons.
When Nvidia is worth more than UK, France and Germany stock markets... yeah, the west is falling behind, lol. Please.
The only countries with national stock markets worth more than Nvidia as of Thursday were India, Japan, China, and, of course, the U.S.
.... yep, we need a change, the US is falling behind the world!!
