Thomas Sowell: "I really think that our society is doomed. Our higher educational institutions have become increasingly intolerant of opposing viewpoints.

Charles Kirk was murdered by a person who claimed he was a 'fascist', not knowing that he himself was behaving like a fascist when he pulled the trigger."

Very smart, and perceptive man. This is the lefts plan in motion. An ignorant society is a society that can be controlled.

He’s right, people really don’t understand how bad the education system is right now. Some know about big city public schools and how bad that is but even at private schools kids are learning nothing.

Parents need to talk to their children and teach them the way the world works. Otherwise all they have is the lens of the teacher.

That’s all you can do. I’d advise talking to them about having a plan to move out of the country as well.

The really sad but not too shocking, has been the response to his killing. I think this is reflective of Thomas Sowell view.

When W refused to brand militant Radical Islam & instead called it 'terrah', I felt something was off.

A Bernie Sanders supporter shot up a ballpark of Republicans, and there was virtually zero push back against him or The Left. Get along- Go along , after all.

And we keep seeing it. Trump with this '8647' crap, Charlie Kirk, the so called leaders of the GOP are fuktard cowards. Straight up.

In the natural I agree with him. Too many uneducated and easily manipulated dummies in the country who fall hook, line, and sinker for the various false narratives which are pushed every day by the corrupt system, including the corrupt corporate media.


BUT, I'm always hopeful that God has plans to both heal and restore America.

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. That he has not yet received the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a crime.

Kirk was shot for fighting back.

If I wear my Charlie shirt people act like shite to me that other wise would not.

It is just like that. Just like the hats, they like to attack you because the hat.

These folks are only taught recognition of taught hated visuals.

The same folks that prescribe to unity .....

I am all for unity. That is not what they are striving for.

I honestly hope most of you have your SHTF plans in motion already.

Thomas Sowell used to be a Marxist democrat.

He only changed his mind after seeing the reality of what really happens first hand and his own economic research.

Maybe there will be an eventual awakening among others similar to what he had. But I think that requires a level of honesty that is rare, so I also don't have much hope.

I agree with him, have done my best to completely decouple from the mainstream and its preferred narrative, and have been preparing accordingly since 2020.

Maybe nothing happens and a collapse doesn't occur and all my efforts and preparation will be for naught. Cool, I hope so. But if and when it all goes south, I won't be amongst the 95% of the US population that are unprepared and completely reliant upon a system that is literally engineered to fail.

When society cares more for the murdering mom, and nothing the murdered kids.

Or George Floyd more than Derick Chavin..

We got serious problems.

That’s cuts right to the heart of the matter. The left is largely driven by that and they do not see how destructive it is to society. Or they simply do not care as long as they acquire power…



That call to action really set things off and emboldened the truly radical left to take over the Democratic Party. They ceased being the party of Kennedy or Clinton where we could find some common ground on occasion. The Revolution launched with Obama’s ascent. Radicals were now officially in charge.

There's a famous book but carries a lot of weight that almost all empires have a 250-year lifespan.

Even most empires that supposedly lasted longer still had these 250 year cycles in them.

Humanity seems incapable of sustaining prosperity. People very quickly forget what it took to create that prosperity and immediately destroy it.
