He is 100% correct. That is the basis for Judeo-Christian/Western Civilization: individual sovereignty and, inextricably linked to it, individual responsibility. It’s true globalists may be kneeling on our necks, but we still have the means to do some good in the world.
Life is the opposite of “fair”. We do our best to make it better for everyone.
I have a highly intelligent liberal friend who was operating under the assumption that Trump supporters are a bunch of big corporation supporting Capitalists.
I pointed out how most of those big corporations are Globalist actors working on behalf of the Deep State, and that we oppose them even more than the liberals, because we actually speak out and boycott them.
He wanted to debate browbeat me into his way of thinking, so I shared some of my sources, including research by Polly St. George and lectures by Milton Friedman & Thomas Sowell. Still waiting to hear back from him with his explanation for supporting the "Biden Administration".
Either begrudgingly red-pilled or too deep in it to see the light. Not sure which.
He oversimplified it, but I guarantee the truth will come out in the future. Touchy subject but I'll leave you with a hint. First off, communism killed way more people than Hitler. Now just figure out where communism came from. Check all the sources you can on this information because the people who created communism control most of the information in the world.
The earliest depictions we have of Egyptian kings portray the motif of prostrate foreigners as a symbol of Egyptian supremacy over the rest of mankind.
Says who?
Ask any Muslim who is the superior religion on the planet, or that one day sharia will rule everyone. It's called Dar es Salaam
The Jinnō Shōtōki provided a Shinto view of history stressing the divine nature of Japan and its spiritual supremacy over China and India.
I read Intellectuals And Race, which was hard to follow, (had to read some passages a couple times), but was VERY enlightening, and also Black Rednecks And White Liberals. Both were honest appraisals, IMHO, of history. Of special note was the damage done to races/society by war, and by science that is only beginning to come in to it's full power. Misguided or, as yet misinformed science, if you will.
Intellectuals and Race is the most thorough, easy to understand telling of the Democrat/Liberal history of racism from Eugenics through the current day. Must read if you want to understand where movements like BLM come from.
I read Basic Economics and I've watched many interviews and lectures. He's a national(worldwide) treasure and should have statues erected to celebrate his achievements.
Also Wealth, Poverty and Politics. When I read this book I felt like the world suddenly started to make sense. It was like the missing piece of the puzzle. Now I live in perpetual frustration with people assuming authority they haven't earned, making decisions whose consequences they don't understand...

His economics text has been used a lot in college. It's really good, easy to understand compared to most.
… or for others believing it.
Really, this is one of the most trenchant, pithy, accurate quotes ever.

Either way, great red-pilling work Pede!
Thank you!
Bravo!
One of the greatest minds of our time. The world will be a lesser place when he goes.
Thomas Sowell changed my life and I'm very fortunate to come across his material at the age of 20.
He oversimplified it, but I guarantee the truth will come out in the future. Touchy subject but I'll leave you with a hint. First off, communism killed way more people than Hitler. Now just figure out where communism came from. Check all the sources you can on this information because the people who created communism control most of the information in the world.
communism is socialism is national socialism. it's all the same.
Nope but I'm not going to discuss it only cuz I don't have time.
AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
They got their ideas from somewhere...hmmmm....I wonder where. I wonder what group started the idea of racial supremacy...hmmmm.
Oh do the Egyptians have a document or holy book highlighting their racial supremacy?
I'd love to see it.
So no documents or holy books for me to read?
Says who?
WAYYYYY too recent.
I love listening to Sowell speak but I don’t think I’ve read any from him

Millions will again.

What a wise and brilliant man.
So simple and true.
I read Basic Economics and I've watched many interviews and lectures. He's a national(worldwide) treasure and should have statues erected to celebrate his achievements.
His books are well over my head, but I love these statements.
Try The Vision of the Anointed. A collection of essays. He repeats his thoughts in many books so you can't miss some gems in any of them.
Also Wealth, Poverty and Politics. When I read this book I felt like the world suddenly started to make sense. It was like the missing piece of the puzzle.

May I recommend, Discrimination and Disparities. Digestible and on point. Was a Limbaugh recommended reading.
Thanks! I tried his Black Rednecks and White Liberals and it shows how much smarter he is than I. I may try it again when my dad is finished.
This could apply to us.
