People are incredibly naive. They’ll eagerly accept anything labeled "free" without questioning its cost. A free market, by definition, allows individuals to establish businesses according to their will and abilities—and abilities are everything. These include intellect, social connections, experience, capital, and even temperament.
A man with no capital but relentless drive will outperform any weak-willed heir sitting on a fortune.
Yet, in this so-called "free market," men with IQs of 140+, equipped with every predisposition for dominance, are forced to compete in the same league as those who struggle to make ends meet. And when the latter inevitably lose, they turn to Big Mommy—the government—pleading for intervention, demanding that the productive and intelligent be handicapped for the sake of the "poor and oppressed."
Here’s the harsh truth: Taking care of the poor and oppressed has never been a national priority. It never will be because those who contribute nothing will always be net negative.
People don’t actually want "free markets" or "democracy." What they really want is a high standard of living—but that’s not the same thing. When foreigners cry, “We want democracy!” what they mean is “We want Western wealth!” The problem? The average foreigner is not as productive as an average German. They don’t produce at the same level, they don’t operate under the same paradigm, and they certainly don’t have the same work ethic.
Germans didn’t stumble into greatness by accident. Swedes didn’t win a "high-trust, wealthy society" in a lottery. They built it.
People love to claim they’re "ruled by tyrants." Yet, in this so-called "tyranny," you can indulge in behaviors that would’ve gotten you executed a century ago.
Is there an elite running the world? Of course. There always will be. Someone has to be at the top. That’s how hierarchy works.
But here’s the kicker:
If these so-called "tyrants" were truly as ruthless as you claim, they could erase us all overnight. Instead, they maintain a system that coddles the weak and rewards mediocrity.
Is it unjust? Absolutely. I have no interest in giving away my pie to those too lazy or incompetent to earn their own. But that’s the reality.
The marketplace has evolved. Our needs, desires, and opportunities have shifted. Yet most people remain mentally stuck in the era they grew up in.
My own relatives insisted on "traditional" methods of cultivating land, refusing to adapt to modern, commercialized agriculture. And guess what? It didn’t work.
You must constantly evolve in every aspect of life. Otherwise, you become obsolete.
It’s nothing personal. Just business.
A woman on the Titanic, first-class, once remarked how miraculous it was to eat fresh strawberries in early April. That was astonishing in 1912.
Yet, here I am, in Central Europe, buying strawberries in February like it’s nothing.
The world has changed. But have you?
Let’s say you overthrow the current elite. Who replaces them?
Twitter schizos? Or the engineers, bankers, and strategists who quietly played along while you ranted online?
