You Must Suffer
People learn things in different ways. The smart take in information, and use it to visualize future scenarios. Their imagination enables them to avoid painful situations, and to squeeze the most out of what life has to offer. The ability to do this is actually what separates us from the apes. Others, need to hit their head against a wall several times, and learn from experiencing pain. It’s very clear now, the people of England are unwilling to understand exactly how the country is going in the wrong direction and how we could correct this course, so pain must be the teacher.
What a sad sight. I think the music choice “Things will only get better” sums up how a lot of people feel though. We’ve hit some kind of rock bottom. Surely things will get better soon? No. You little fuckers are going to vote in the Labour party. This is a classic case of: “hmm, what’s the cure for big government? More big government.”
The cure is so obvious its infuriating. We’ve tried this shitty socialist experiment all over the world, at pretty much every point in time, in multiple different countries in the last 200 years and beyond. YET SOME OF YOU STILL DON’T SEE. It doesn’t work. Every time a country tilts towards bigger government, with more regulations and more centralized planning with less competition, things get worse. When they shift towards freedom, things get better.
Voting in the Labour party represents an acceleration of this trend in the wrong direction.
The solution will be destroying the size of government. Slashing regulations on almost everything, burning state schools to the ground, blowing up the NHS, openly laughing at people who suggest things like subsidies, price caps or minimum wages are a good idea. We are so far away from culturally being ready for this though. Most people will probably read this and think I’ve lost the plot. I don’t care. I want to prime you, so that when we vote in the Labour party, and things do get worse. You’ll be quicker to start to look at the ideas I’m talking about in a new light.
Commodities
Something which might surprise you is that the last 15 years has been the most perfect environment for the UK to thrive. We don’t produce any commodities and commodity prices were cheap. Meaning we were free to add value further down the supply chain.
Yet after 15 years of these perfect conditions, as you’ve probably noticed, things aren’t going too well. Inflation (even the heavily manipulated so its smaller number, number) has been steadily outpacing wage growth. Putting you on the wrong side of a compounding interest equation in which you and your children's future earnings potential are eroded. The NHS is crumbling, nurses aren’t getting paid enough, kids are leaving schools with lower literacy and numeracy levels. Yet no one considers a state run healthcare and schooling system is the cause of all this. We still treasure these national shit-stains as if they’re something worth celebrating.
My Prescription
The foundations of what produces wealth is setting the human spirit free. The respect of private property and the ability to trade it voluntarily, under a legal system which treats everyone equally. You should feel a deep glowing in your soul when such things are spoken of.
What concerns me is just how bad things had to get in Argentina for them to realize this, and elect a government with these ideas at their core (watch them considerably outperform the UK in the coming years, maybe then you’ll see). They used to be one of the richest countries in the world 100 years ago, and now they’re somewhere very far down the list. This all started in 1950 when they elected the socialist leader Peron, for another 70 years they continued voting for similar idiots. Things had to get so bad that now 57.4% of the population are living in poverty for them to finally see. I don’t know how much the people of England will need to suffer in order for them to finally realize. If Argentina is anything to go by, we need a sustained period of stagnation, poverty and hunger.
I’ve had enough.
Good luck, you bunch of Apes.
Please read some of these books and study history, we don’t have to go through this:
* I wrote this 1 month ago when Labour was absolutely killing it. It’s been encouraging to see growing support for the Reform party. It means the UK population is less naive than I thought as this is at least directionally right. Sadly Reform is still a fraction of the change required to make our nation great, the biggest problem being that they are still controlled opposition.
