Free Markets Good, Socialism Bad

April 19, 2018 by V the K

The below says something I have long thought but never been able to articulate as well as “Mark.”

Probably the closest thing to “Real Capitalism” was what was practiced in Hong Kong between 1947 and 1997; a time when a tiny city-state became one of the most prosperous places in the world and had a tax code smaller than a TGI Friday’s menu.

Chile also became much more prosperous after Pinochet dealt with the Communist there. He left office peacefully, leaving his country and free and prosperous. The same cannot be said of Castro, Chavez, Mao, Mugabe, or any other socialist maximum leader.

Socialism, on the other hand, has led to more murder, deprivation, and poverty for more people than literally any other idea in history.

Let’s Talk About the Weather

March 23, 2018 by V the K

At the start of this past week, a Democrat City Councilman in the capital city of our country speculated that a Jewish conspiracy was manipulating the Earth’s weather in order to control urban areas.  I am not making this up.

D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”

To bookend that, the Democrat Feminist Naomi Wolf (the one who advised Al Gore to wear Earth tones in order to project a more Alpha Male image) blames Chemtrails for controlling the weather over New York City. I am also not making this up.

She also says the evil Nestle Corporation is behind the chemtrails.

When we noted major corporations such as Nestle have been buying up municipal water rights, hedge funds betting on water scarcity — and that cloud seeding redirects (doesn’t create) water — we got a flood of trolls. (Corps can hire troll farms, not just Russian). I say we look.

These same people would say some of us are crazy for wanting smaller, Constitutionally limited, fiscally responsible Government. On a kind of related note, very nearly three out four Americans believe that the Deep State has too much power. This is being characterized as a “Conspiracy Theory.” How is it so? Is it a conspiracy to believe that large bureaucracies, over time, become self-interested and will act primarily in their self-interests? Is it a conspiracy to believe that people who have spent their entire careers working within large bureaucracies become insulated against the world outside those bureaucracies? It is not a conspiracy to believe those things are so, rather it is consistent with human experience and history.

Of course, the Deep State exists. It only became a “Conspiracy Theory” after PDT started talking about it.

Beta Males Have Not Triumphed in Korea

March 9, 2018 by V the K

Yea, I got nothin’. Here’s a scene from Descendants of the Sun some of you might like.

Yoo Si-jin (Song Joong-ki) is pretty much the antithesis of the Soy Boys the Hollywood Reporter was celebrating yesterday. He’s a South Korean Special Forces Captain. He’s confident and self-assured in any situation. He tells a lot of jokes, but never laughs at them. He’s self-possessed. He’s strong. He rescues the Doctor-Lady he loves even though she repeatedly tells him they can’t be together.  He’s sort of a Korean Gary Cooper.

The Porno-American Community Steps Up

February 1, 2018 by V the K

The Philadelphia Police tried smearing light poles with Crisco to keep Eagles fans from climbing them after the big football game. It didn’t work. But then, Pornhub (I don’t need to explain to any of you what Pornhub is, right?) stepped up and offered multiple gallons of water based lubricant. How very civic-minded of them.

Tax Cut Fallout and Tweets du Jour

December 21, 2017 by V the K

I hope at least a handful of Gaypatriot readers, commenters, and lurkers survived “Tax Cut Armageddon.” The carnage has not been too bad in central Ohio, but I understand the casualties in California and New York will be in the tens of millions.

To add to the carnage, Evil Corporations(TM) like Comcast, Wells-Fargo, and AT&T are using the dreadful Republican tax cuts… to pay their employees more money. Can you believe it? Leftists are dismissing this as a PR stunt. They never dismiss a company announcement of a pro-LGBT policy (which costs companies nothing) as a PR stunt.

But I guess those $1,000 bonuses amount to less than half of the $2,500 people have saved because of Obamacare… oh, wait… Obamacare actually made health care even more expensive. My bad.

Never-Trumper Bill “Thurston Howell IV” Kristol says that for corporations to be handing out raises and bonuses in the wake of tax cut passage is “creepy.”  His dream of instituting a blood aristocracy is deferred once again.

Anyway, the Democrats have now latched onto the talking point that the tax cuts for most people “won’t amount to much.” And, indeed, to the bottom two income quintiles who already pay nothing in income taxes, they naturally won’t be getting to keep as much of their own money as giant corporations who have billions annually confiscated. The difference being, large corporations are in a much better position to add employees and build factories than people in the bottom two income quintiles.  Not to mention, the “won’t amount to much” talking point just shows how out of touch the Democrats are with people who could use an extra $100 a month or so.

By sheer coincidence, the Washington Post’s editorial opinion on the Tax Reform Plan aligns to Democrat Party talking points with the precision of a Swiss Watch.

And then there’s this idiot Boston Globe columnist thinks people should happily surrender more money to the Government, because the Government will use it more “efficiently.” 

That governments spend money more efficiently than you do is literally the reason we have governments

Wasn’t Boston where they had that ‘Big Dig’ thingie that cost four times as much as initially budgeted and was finished ten years behind schedule? Is that his idea of Government “efficiency?” Was it “efficient” when the Government spent $800,000 to study how African men wash their pee-pees, or $400,000 to study Argentinian gay bars? $22 Million so that Harry Reid’s billionaire buddy can study UFOs?

And finally there’s this from a parody account, but I think sums up the feelings of the Democrat base.

Someone please explain how Trump’s stupid tax cut bill helps people like me that don’t want a job. #TheResistance

Philosophy

December 9, 2017 by V the K

Here’s the funny thing. No matter what we do, liberals are always going to call us the most horrible things conceivable. So why would you ever, ever, allow what they call you to influence your actions and keep you from acting in your own best interest? – Kurt Schlichter

Here’s Some Things

November 4, 2017 by V the K

  1. Buzzfeed opinionist opines that in light of the terror attack in NYC last week, we should ban automobiles. (Also, she says a friend of hers died when struck by a car. It gave her sadfeels, so cars should be banned.) This is a lot like gun control; a terrorist illegal used something as a weapon to kill innocent people, so all of the law-abiding people who have never used their cars as murder weapons should be denied the freedom to own them. Not to mention, the same truck that probably had been rented hundreds of times before by people who did not use it to kill people. Which suggests that it isn’t trucks that should be banned.
  2. Modern architecture is aggressively hideous. And it’s hideous for the same reasons progressive Government is aggressively authoritarian and Progressive social mores are aggressively obnoxious. As with all things progressive, an inbred and deeply incestuous group of people who fancy themselves “elites” express their contempt for all thing good and decent by replacing them with hideous dysfunctional forms. Modern progressive architects hate beauty, they consider it bourgeois. So, instead of the grand edifices of the past, they are designing and building lumps of crap that all normal people hate, and then handing out awards to each other for breaking down social norms.
  3. The Government is stepping into the practice of medicine and doing what Government usually does when it sticks its jackboots into areas it has no business being in. Under a law passed in 2015, Government will now financially reward some doctors and penalize others according to a set of metrics known as Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). One metric will be the percentages of patients that get better after treatment. In order to game the system, some doctors are refusing to treat seriously ill patients because they will penalized if the patients don’t get better. There is also this.

“The cost category, formerly known as Resource Use, is beyond worrisome. The sample grade chart itself shows that physicians who spend the most on their patients get 0 to 2 points while those that spend the least get 8 to 10 points. In other words, doctors get more money for withholding care and resources from patients and are penalized for delivering care.”

Were it up to me, Government would just keep its greedy hands out of health care entirely; let doctors and patients make decision without intervening layers of bureaucrats. But then, I’m a crazed radical, don’tcha know.

And Finally, 4. Here’s a black guy calling out some white Antifags, who respond by calling him an Uncle Tom.
