Tucker Carlson had an interesting take on power He basically argues that once people’s basic needs are met, the drive for “more” often turns into a desire for control over other people not just money anymore. His point is that everyone has that impulse to some degree, but the... show more

President Trump just gave an answer that will go down in the history books when Peter Doocy asked why assassination attempts keep happening to him. “We’ve changed this country and there are lot of people that are not happy about that.” TRUMP: “Well, you know, I’ve studied assassinations and I must tell you, the most impactful people...” “The people that do the most...you take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln...the people that have gone through this...the people to do the most...the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after.” “They don’t go after the ones that don’t do much because they like it that way.” “And when you look at the people that have either...whether it was an attempt or a successful attempt, and they’re very impactful people just take a look at the names there.” “And I hate to say I’m honored by that but I’ve done a lot.” “We’ve taken this country and we were a laughingstock years and now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world.” “We’ve changed this country and there are lot of people that are not happy about that.”

AOC: Mr. Bezos’s newspaper was not happy that I discussed abuses of market power and scale. And I think there are quite a lot of billionaires—I mean, there aren’t a lot of billionaires in an absolute sense, but the proportion of billionaires upset with my comments is quite high. And I think that, to a working person and to working people, “earn” means something: the calluses on your hands, the aches in your joints, the way that we earn our way through school, through our first job. And I think that we are in an emperor-with-no-clothes moment when it comes to the American economy and our democracy. The Virginia redistricting maps were just overturned this morning by judges that are largely financed by a movement of billionaires. And American inequality is at an absolute peak. We have to ask ourselves if this is how we want to live as a society—if we want 3,400 people to be prioritized over well more than 300 million. And when we question the legitimacy of that power structure, the people at the top are going to be very mad. And the little hobby newspapers that they’ve bought—which they love to say are making the quality of everything better. Jeff Bezos purchased the The Washington Post. He laid off some of the highly qualified journalists that made it an American institution so that he could turn it into a mouthpiece that launders his personal agenda and opinions. And he is using it because, for a lot of folks, it’s not enough to be powerful—they have to be loved. And he then uses this mouthpiece to take aim at politicians who want to question the deeply unequal and unjust distribution of power in America. They want to continue to undercut, threaten, and punish those who say: democracy belongs at the ballot box—economic power, political power—and that power should belong to the people of this country, not the very few.

Most people choose belonging over accuracy. The desire to fit in overpowers the desire for truth. "A lot of the time, people will tell you, “Don’t care what other people think about you,” but we all care what other people think—often for very good reason, which is that if people think well of you, it benefits you in life. It puts you in a good position; you are rewarded for it. It helps you accomplish things. It makes you safer. It just feels good. Belonging is a critical part of being human. However, especially in the modern world, the desire to belong can often run counter to the desire to understand or be accurate. If you have to choose between “I could believe this thing and be ostracized or criticized or outcast from my community” or “I could believe this other thing, which may not be that accurate, but it will get me praised and rewarded and accepted by my community,” a lot of the time, the desire to belong overpowers the desire to understand."

.Keith Rabois on the most important lesson he learned from Peter Thiel: You can’t hire anybody over 30. “Peter might not say it exactly the same way today, but basically, what he was trying to say is this: by the time you’re 30, everyone on the planet knows how to assess you pretty accurately. There are enough data points on your resume—back then, it was your resume, and today, it’s your LinkedIn profile—so that everybody can come to a consensus view about your abilities. But if you come to a consensus view about everybody’s abilities, guess what? Google is going to spend a lot of money on that person. Or OpenAI is going to spend a lot of money on that person. Or Meta is going to spend a lot of money on that person. And, when you’re a startup, you can’t outspend large companies that are very profitable or have infinite money like OpenAI. You need to be much more disciplined, much more frugal, and you may not even want to hire these people. The people who are motivated by that much compensation may not even be the right builders. I took that advice with me literally from November 2000, and I’ve been trying to apply it for 24 years now.”

Musk suggested that his life could be at risk when he said that he needs to beef up his security. This is because “people who are taking advantage of the government” are going to get “upset” when he and Trump start slashing costs. “If I had full power to take action, I would balance the budget immediately,” Musk said, adding that the government urgently needs to stop spending more than it brings in. “A lot of people who are taking advantage of the government are going to be upset about that, and I’d probably need a lot of security. But it’s got to be done. And if it’s not done, we’ll just go bankrupt.”

Gov. Spanberger: "In his farewell address, George Washington warned us about the possibility of 'cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men' rising to power. But he also encouraged us, all Americans, to unite in a common cause to move this nation forward. That is our charge once more, and that is what we are seeing across the country. It is deeply American and patriotic to do so, and it is how we ensure that the state of our union remains strong, not just this year, but for the next 250 years as well. Because we, the people, have the power to make change, the power to stand up for what is right, the power to demand more of our nation."

ELON: WE MUST PUT AN END TO THE TYRANNY OF THE BUREAUCRACY “In order for us to be a true democracy, a functioning democracy, the government must be responsive to the people. That's literally what democracy means. However, when you have a vast unelected bureaucracy that is not answerable to the public, and if the elected officials, the President, the people in Congress and the Senate, if they don't have the power to affect the bureaucracy — and it's actually extremely difficult to affect the bureaucracy — then you do not have rule of the people. Then, you do not have democracy, but you have rule of the bureau — bureaucracy. And this is obviously wrong. It is unconstitutional, and it is imperative, therefore, that we return power to the people of the country and not have tyranny of the bureaucracy, which we most definitely have had to a degree that is absurd. It's not just that there's an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government, but it is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.” Source: DOGE update on 𝕏 Spaces, February 2025

Nick Fuentes gives his take on “breakaway civilizations,” arguing that you can’t simply opt out of centralized power. He uses the Russian Revolution as an example of what happens when you try. “You may not take an interest in politics, but politics takes an interest in you. You may think you’re too good for the city or we lost the city…but the city is where the power is…people that want power over America are gonna go there.” “You can’t just pick up Bikini Bottom and take it somewhere else. They’ll just drive to where you are and kill you. As a matter of fact, they won’t even need to drive, they have drones.” “They will kill you, just like they killed the kulaks.” “Escapism is a form of denial.” “Don’t kid yourself, going and starting a breakaway settlement is a form of power struggle. It’s just one that doesn’t have a very good chance of succeeding.”

Twitch Streamer Asmongold argues the current power dynamic narrative in the Sykkuno allegations. "And also this entire idea of a power dynamic, this is just another way that people are removing accountability from themselves." To which I agree, when people look at allegations, the quick, easy generic argument to make is that there is a power dynamic, while also further diminishing any other argumentation. People in the past few years have made this argument frequently, that it has diminished the true meaning of what is actually a power dynamic.

Donald J. #Trump targets #PopeLeo XIV—and in doing so, reveals a deeper unease. When political power turns against a moral voice, it is often because it cannot contain it. Trump does not argue with Leo; he implores him to return to a language he can control. But the Pope speaks another language, one that cannot be reduced to the grammar of force, security, or national interest. In this sense, the attack is a declaration of impotence. Unable to absorb that voice, power tries to delegitimize it. Yet in doing so, it implicitly acknowledges its weight. If Leo were irrelevant, he would not deserve a word. Instead, he is invoked, named, opposed—a sign that his words matter. This is where the Church’s moral force emerges. Not as a counter-power, but as a space in which power is judged by a standard it does not control. Leo does not respond on the terrain of polemics, and for that very reason remains beyond its grasp. He is free. And that freedom—unarmed and disarming—is perhaps what most unsettles. And, at the same time, what matters most.

I’m seeing posts on here about how people in LA will be fine; That everyone is here is rich. But that is not the case. Most people here live pay check to pay check, and struggle to put food on the table. It will take years for us to rebuild.

☝️“In one of the US laws that explicitly mentions Russia, the stated goal is to "democratize" the Russian Federation. Can you imagine us setting a goal in our own domestic legislation to "democratize" the United States? You know, that is at least impolite. But in principle, we could do it, and there are reasons for that. Everyone is well aware that twice in US history, a president has come to power who was elected by a majority of electors but had a minority of voters behind him. Is that democratic? No. Democracy is the power of the people, the power of the majority. How is it possible that a person is elected to the highest office in the state by a minority of voters? There is such a problem in the US Constitution. But we are not demanding that you change your Constitution, are we?” - President Putin.

"The worst kind of bioweapon wouldn't kill a lot of people, it would disable a lot of people and kill people slowly over time. You wouldn't want it to just start killing, because if that were to happen you would very quickly identify those people who had been exposed and who were dying and who were at risk of spreading it and you would create an extremely strict lockdown to keep them in place and not let them spread it to the rest of the population, whereas with a very slow death blow that takes years to play out and also disables a lot of people, that can destroy an economy and kill people over the long run, so it might take a couple of years, 5 years, 10 years it might take more."

But none of that happened. 🫤You'd think the debate about whether he's losing power would be over now. But in fact, people who believe he has lost power and those who believe he hasn’t are still not convinced by the same facts or outcomes. ⁉️Why is that? (Surprisingly, Trump Donald J.

There is no way that ethnic tensions could be as pronounced as they currently are without a lot of deep sin going into the generation of those tensions. But ethnic tensions are not the result of a white person waking up one day and thinking he needs to start despising people who are darker than he is. Neither is it the result of black people suddenly lurching into a policy of violence and mayhem. There are two errors to avoid when it comes to the kind of repentance that is needed in an hour like ours. One is to approach the whole thing in a simplistic spirit, calling for people to repent of all their behavior, but only starting at the precise moment the rioting started. But repentance is also needed for all the decisions and policies that led to the conditions that made the rioting seem like a reasonable way out. It isn’t, but why do people come to believe that? The second mistake is that of starting at the wrong end—this happens when we start by confessing the sins of the other guy. That gets us nowhere, and just perpetuates the conflict. You can confess other people’s sins all day long and your joy will not come back.

Trump is a cult leader — one that will not be easily replaced. But that doesn't mean that the GOP will lose power once he is gone. There is the very real consideration that, in order to cling to the power Trump cultivated for them, we will see a much more nakedly fascist system take his place.

JD Vance on Iran: The coalition that made Donald Trump the president of the United States and JD Vance the vice president of the United States—people have to remember this—it was Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan. It was also Mark Levin. It was also a lot of people like John Podhoretz who want a more aggressive foreign policy... I'm never going to say that John Podhoretz is not welcome in the Republican Party. He is, but just as he's disappointed right now, sometimes other people are going to be disappointed at other times. Source: Megyn Kelly
