Rabimo vladavino prava, kar pomeni:
* kristalno jasna pravila
* za preprečevanje in kompenzacijo škode.
Ne pa vladavine "pravic", privilegijev, rent, birokratov, mnenj in presoj, prelaganja odgovornosti in kupovanja glasov.
Socialna država je obsojena na propad.
Ko se enkrat dovoli politikom, da delijo javni denar posameznikom in drugim parcialnim interesom, postane "več razdeljevanja!" edina zmagovita politična strategija.
Vsi bi radi nekaj v zameno za nič. In potem bi vsi še več. In potem ...
Če ne bi bili manipulatorji, bi lahko o Sparu poročali tudi tako:
Prihodki: 1260 mio EUR
Plače za 5414 zaposlenih: 169 mio EUR
Od tega si država vzame: 63 mio EUR
Dividende lastniku: 10 mio EUR
Zaposlenim in državi gre torej 17x več, kot gre lastniku.
Trgovcem gre dobro, delavcem manj ...
Znižanje DDV na Hrvaškem leta 2022 ni prineslo nižjih cen hrane, ampak je koristilo trgovcem. Slovenski interventni zakon ima enako težavo.

Se da shekati demokratične sisteme in institucije, npr. Evropsko unijo?
»Hekanje Homo sapiensa« je koncept, po katerem lahko umetna inteligenca in biotehnologija z analizo zadostne količine osebnih in bioloških podatkov razumeta, napovedujeta in usmerjata človekove odločitve bolje, kot ljudje razumejo sami sebe. Že spletni nakupi, odzivanje na novice na družbenih omrežjih in referendumske kampanje kažejo, koliko je možnosti za vplivanje na naše odločitve.
Kaj pa demokratični sistemi in institucije, ki so jih zastavili predstavniki vrste Homo sapiens za ustvarjanje prostora za izmenjavo mnenj, doseganje dogovorov in odločanje o skupnih stvareh? Je lažje shekati posameznika ali institucije?
Nobena ureditev kljub obrambnim in imunskim sistemom ni nedotakljiva. Tudi demokratične varovalke lahko postanejo manj učinkovite, če ne sledijo medijski in drugi tehnologiji, ki je bistveno napredovala od časov prvih tiskanih časopisov.
"Mehanizem je brutalno eleganten. "Inštituti" prispevajo »strokovno znanje«. Nevladne organizacije ustvarjajo »zahteve civilne družbe«. Nevladne organizacije s pravnega področja vlagajo tožbe na sodiščih. Financirani mediji oblikujejo povzemajo in širiji "zgodbo". Odločevalci, pogosto v mehurčkih in odrezani od prebivalstva, z vseh strani slišijo isto sporočilo in tako verjamejo, da si ljudje želijo prav to.
In najbolj noro pri vsem tem: institucije ta krog financirajo kar same s financiranjem nevladnih organizacij, da bi pri njih samih lobirale v podporo lastnim predlogom zakonodaji. Institucija, ali proračun če hočete, plačuje »civilni družbi«, da od nje zahteva tisto, kar je tako ali tako že hotela storiti."
Zveni znano, kajne?

Kiwi Farms user breaks down 'Izzat', the Indian subcontinent's cultural honor system. It effectively explains every single trope about Indian behavior: they all participate in an invisible clout-chasing game that involves screwing over everyone as much as possible. Worth the read
Socializem je dober za socialistično elito, vsi ostali pa živimo slabše, ker jih spuščamo na oblast, ki jo potem zlorabljajo v svojo korist in našo škodo.
Še posebej pa živijo slabše tisti bolj pri dnu, o dobrobiti katerih je omenjena elita najbolj glasna.
V PR so pač zelo dobri.
AI bo vse prisilil, da začnejo kiber varnost jemati resno.
Res resno.
Kar je dobro.
Razen, če nas bo ubilo, preden nas ojača.
So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.
V svoj zagovor blekneš par besed, kot so "neenakost", "patriarhat" ali "palestina", pa kar naenkrat magično nisi več ti kriv, da kradeš, uničuješ ali še kaj hujšega.
Ker vidim, da jih ni malo, ki iz naše perspektive opravičujejo in upravičujejo vandalizem, ki ga gledamo po tujih mestih - kako bo kraja, uničevanje trgovin in javne infrastrukture s škodo, ki se ocenjuje na več 100 milijonov EUR pomagala pri zmanjšanju neenakosti?
Kako bodo s temi dejanji prizadeti krivci za neenakost in izkoriščanje, četudi dejansko obstajajo med delodajalci in politiki?
Vsak, ki je v tem protestih nekaj ukradel ali uničil, je to seveda sam sebi nekako opravičil - in se s tem še bolj oddaljil od vrednot, ki gradijo skupnost, kjer vsak nekaj prispeva; z znanjem in z delom.
To ni pot k blaginji za vse.

How the birthrate crisis will devastate the world economy in 4 maps
One of the clearest measures of economic power and sophistication is manufacturing. Making advanced products requires very high levels of competence and large companies of full of highly skilled people doing difficult jobs well.
@arctotherium42 created a series of cartograms - where the size of each country is proportional to the value of its manufacturing output in different categories. Look at steel, machine tools and semiconductors, the very things that build our modern, technological world. East Asia dominates these manufacturing categories with Europe and the US also having a share. The rest of the world produces very little of any of these.
Compare this against births around the world. The countries responsible for making the things our world depends on constitute a small and shrinking share of global births. The countries with most of global births, meanwhile, generally lack the capacity to produce these things that are foundational in our global economy.
Manufacturing drives much of the rest of the economy. Modern agriculture, energy production, travel, communications and more all rest of the foundation of sophisticated products. The fertility collapse of the countries that make most advanced goods, if not reversed, will be catastrophic for the world economy.

Nouvelle étude invalidant l'idée que la pauvreté cause la criminalité:
Une expérience finlandaise avec des versements mensuels inconditionnels à des personnes pauvres a montré que ces paiements n’ont aucun effet sur la perpétration de crimes ni sur la victimisation.

Leftists demonize every source of wealth, to disarm it so it can be plundered.
That is their defining feature.
They have identified AI as a source of wealth.

Jaz sem anti zapravljanju denarja Slovencev. Ne vem, kako je to tak težek koncept.
Če se oblast po levičarsko samo zlorablja za to, da se Slovence ropa v korist prisklednikov, lenob in priseljencev, pa to gotovo ne pripomore k ohranjanju slovenske skupnosti, ampak nasprotno.

As it turns out, the friend-enemy distinction in politics will absolutely cook your brains eventually and prevent you from even understanding what a real existential enemy looks like. By believing that "capitalism" is their existential enemy and oppressor, they have arrived here.
Če posplošimo, je deal, ki ga levičar ponuja: jaz bom govoril* to, kar ti hočeš slišati, ti pa mi boš dal politično podporo, da bom lahko na oblasti. Če ne pa crkni. No, crkneš lahko zaradi mene v vsakem primeru, le ne nasprotuj moji oblasti.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM OF FEMINISM
The fundamental problem of feminism, female suffrage, state provision of incentives to divorce, alimony, child support; of taxable income on females to fund state expansion, and degradation of the university to favor female instinct and intuition, is the destruction of the family as the reconciliation of interestes between the sexes, the intergenerational production of population, group strategy, tradition, values, and world model, is summarized in the end of the western and natural law family as prior to the state, and the state as the servant of families - families who must reconcile sex difference in instinct intuition and incentive into a common interest.
The average man interprets this as 'women marry the state to prey upon men via the state. This is effectively true, but it's too narrow a measure of consequences.
Every time women hold political power, states and civilizations die. We are dying, and women did it.
I don't like knowing this. I'm a product of my generation. But if I must testify to the cause of our failure - that's half of it. The destruction of aristocracy by the first world war and it's replacement with bureaucracy via the managerial state is the other.
