Vivek Ramaswamy was trying to close a deal, so he went to do some relationship building over dinner at an investor’s house. As dinner ended, the investor’s son came downstairs to greet the visitors, and he turned out to be a high school senior who was applying to Harvard. By the most remarkable coincidence, Vivek Ramaswamy is a Harvard grad, so the kid asked for some advice on getting in.
The irreparable harm to our culture was financed by our own unwitting investments in Vanguard, Fidelity, BlackRock, et al. ESG is a pitiful smokescreen for communism and the ultimate control of the elites (cue to low-IQ “Global Leader” Jacinda Ardern, her horse face grin and hilarious virtue signaling, along with pretty boy vapid Trudeau who has an even lower IQ). If we could just radically work together to figure out the financial piece- the rest would fall into place. Sadly (or maybe not) I’ve lost all my woke friends one by one on the altar of NPR and their woke college kids screaming woke commands at them from their basements.
"The most subversive thing in America is a long memory," (Not sure who first said it, but so true!)
The Dems are already acting as if they were not the tyrants and "branch managers" of lockdowns, respiratory obstruction and forced injections of heart poison. I hope the electorate remembers. I for one will never forget the Dems casual embrace of fascism, while pretending to be the opposite, and I can never vote D again.
"If they did, would you let them?" No. I think it's fair to say we've heard a lot of talk about "accountability" since . . . oh, probably the end of the George W. Bush administration. But we've never seen much of any.
Memories are short. Thank God for screenshots, amirite?
No way I’m ever pretending the last 2 years didn’t happen. I want justice for what was done to those of us who’d didn’t comply with all things Covidstan.
The problem is that it doesn’t matter that the support for the “current thing” is shallow and insincere. It matters that it seems that there are fewer and fewer Americans who are willing to assert their right to contest the “current thing.” The forces arrayed against individuals - the bureaucracy, media, social media, woke corporations - are enormous. Can America as it was envisioned exist in this context?
The Woke army is a Jihad. They have a common belief system equivalent to a religion. A complex and self-reinforcing belief system that explains All to those who Believe. Anyone outside that system is at least kaffir, unbelievers who may be deceived and manipulated, or worse yet simply unenlightened evil to be destroyed. They are a closed social order and if you are outside, you are game.
This is absolutely not American. American is plural, inclusive, disperate. Consensus, not unilateral. Popular, not Regime. The current Regime is not us. We have no representation. The R and D names slung about on MSM have very little meaning. The uniparty Regime is an inch away from crushing We the People.
Whither one minor current thing -- “toxic masculinity”? Relegated to the back of the closet like a white suit at the end of disco once the fad passed, never to be seen in public again. There was no money in it.
All these sorts of putrid eruptions are like a bubble of stinky gas breaching the surface of the swamp. They cause a foul stench for a few minutes and then dissipate, without a trace, in the slightest breeze. They but hint, albeit accurately, at the rot and decay that is their source.
I am grateful to Vivek Ramaswamy for creating Strive Mutual Funds. It now has 2: DRLL (energy) and STRV (Strive corporate). I was able to put a small amount into DRLL and proud of it. It's spitting into the wind but it's my shot against ESG.
It's easier to swim with the tide and we see that with this corporate groupthink. The ghouls, losers and bot accounts on Twitter have convinced the corporate world the majority opinion is on the side of WOKE. It's not. However, the political leadership is and that's the frightening part.
Yes.Withdraw your labor from the cult. Then, when your spirit has returned to balance, move them & take the piss out of them, without a grain of malice, to keep them on the path of humility. Don't forget, if nature wants to give them forgiveness then let them find the path their themselves & experience that on nature's time schedule, not theirs.
I'm afraid this argument can be (uncharitably?) read as an admonition to turn the other cheek. That doesn't really work with psychopaths. You run out of cheek longs before they stop hitting you.
What if wokeness is literally like a cancer. Because it hunkers down and hides, do you just go on as if nothing is there? Leftism/totalitarianism is a poison, unfortunately attractive to many people, that must be eradicated when and wherever it shows its face.
I think you may be correct. Fighting is a young persons first instinct, but the longer one lives the more one notices that the vast majority of people in this world are either stupid or evil or both. So then one eventually comes to the conclusion that fighting is simply banging your head against a 20 foot thick concrete wall. It doesn’t do much of anything to help, but it really hurts your noggin. If you wait, hopefully what goes around will eventually come around. But I DO understand your anger and anxiety.
There are things: systems, projects, etc. Some are created as camouflage, like corporate DIE and ESG programs. Some are created for ostensibly good reasons: Child Protective Services, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, etc. Some may be created for the deliberate exercise of some evil, e.g., greed: genital mutilation of minors at various university hospitals all over the country.
However, all of these things, once set up, are manipulable by bad actors for their own ends. An insurance company that doesn't want to pay for a kid's mitochondrial disorder medication tips off CPS that the kid is a victim of "medical child abuse," and the kid is taken from his parents for months or maybe forever. Somebody who wants a promotion, but doesn't deserve it, narcs on a co-worker for having once laughed at a non-PC joke on his own personal time. Drug companies create a kajillion vaccination products and get them near-mandated by their friends in government, while facing zero liability.
Things that may have been created for "fake" reasons have a way of becoming very real. They can't be ignored; they have to be fought.
pretending it never happened does not work for me.

Vote so damn hard they cannot steal it again!

Pretend in order to get clear of it. Then strike in all sorts of invisible but significant ways.
I’m sure Sun Tzu says it more eloquently.
Life is war. And vice versa.
Never stop fighting.
