"What do I owe society?", asked the guy in the green.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Unfortunately, Le Pen is not sufficiently right wing to resolve this. Denaturalization, deportation, and detention is necessary.

Okay but that's exactly what's happened here.
Joe Biden allows unfettered illegal immigration
Next President is elected by majority to stop it.
President tries to stop it
Far left interferes. Calls him Hitler. Organized protests.
Media portrays it that way.
What part of my statement here is not true?

The plan: scare & harass conservatives from participating in politics and government. Run you out of the public square. And re-open the gates to unfettered, anti-Western mass migration. That’s their plan.

They're like Nick Shirley except they harass the normal, mundane, and powerless law-abiding citizens.
Yes. Growing up in the 90s, everyone did their own lawn work. The elderly hired me or the neighborhood kids to mow for them. All push mowers.
Today, on my street, I'm one of very few who use a push mower. Most hire it out or have a riding lawnmower. And leaf blowers being glore.

Crazy to think that 25 years ago this was done to show just how insane the Muslim world was, and today this kind of thing could actually happen unironically.

Should we simply default on the debt, wiping it off our books and starting fresh?
Here are some side effects of defaulting: Banking crisis, federal government credit rating collapse, higher interest rates and borrowing costs, end of dollar as dominant currency, capital flight, stock and bond market crashes, economic depression and global contagion, hyperinflation, spending cuts to social security and defense and other essential programs resulting from inability to borrow, social and political unrest, trade wars and retaliatory measures, geopolitical shifts and war, and reduced investment in the US economy as a result of lower confidence.

Zohran Mamdani's father:
“America is the root of all evil in the world, and it was the inspiration for the Nazis. Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln.”
The majority likely view it as harm to the woman or fetus. If you mean the academics, they're more heavily on miscarriage being a tort.
While Exodus 21 is closest to dealing directly with fetuses, Dan is leaning on it too heavily to say the Bible views fetuses as just property.

NGOs have claimed that El Salvador's crackdown isn't worth it because a few hundred gangsters have died while in prison.
However, the crackdown has averted far more homicides than criminals have died in prison as a result, so this argument doesn't hold water.
My latest article is about El Salvador.
The country has become safe--I've rigorously documented that and shown that every objection falls flat--but will that lead to growth?
Will El Salvador become rich?
