Just a reminder that Charlie Kirk was right in the middle in terms of age for these "kids" and said all the same things they do in public. He was probably in a similar group chat himself.

Bet he was real a pain the neck. I'm sure he never stuck his neck out for anyone!

Mudsill theory

The proposition that there must be, and always has been, a lower class or underclass for the upper classes and the rest of society to rest upon.

I'm listening to an audiobook of How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America

It's both extremely interesting and extremely frustrating to hear about the history of conservativism in America, and the obsession with natural heirarchies. Which itself requires the creation of man made hierarchies within the out-group to continue. The heirarchies that serve to protect and keep the in-group elevated above all others bc it's "God's will" that they rule over and control those not chosen by God (i.e. literally everyone else) Which itself, is a bullshit idea that predates America. That idea was what people came here to escape, but they just reinvented the same bullshit wheel.

It's insane that same propaganda Peter Thiel has managed to spread in 2025 was being spread by American oligarchs hundreds of years ago.

"Equality is incompatible with freedom." Then in very fine print: Freedom for you means freedom to labor under me (tee-hee 😉).

Don't think about it too much. Don't question why TF God would ever look at somebody like Peter Thiel's worthless ass and say, "Pete, you've never created anything on your own. You're not really talented at anything other than using the wealth you were born into to manipulate people. Overall you're kind of scum of the earth. So, I've decided that you're in charge."

It's just the natural order of things. And anytime the natural order seems to be shifting, it's God's will for the man made hierarchies within the out-group to fight and die in wars protecting the in-group. Rinse. Repeat.

The circular logic is so fucking dumb, and it relies on the same recycled narrative over and over. Whether its getting a new spin as Technocracy or the butterfly revolution, it's been the same fucking bullshit. And people keep falling for it. You (the majority of society) can't comprehend what is best for society (yourselves), and simply want short term gratification. If you were allowed equality, you would only attempt to take the wealth and resources of your betters (somehow Peter Thiel).

Always projection every time.

It's so fucking repetitive and predictable.
