Adam Smith knew that a free market cannot exist without rules, laws, & an authority to enforce them. Markets need institutions strong enough to protect contracts, prevent fraud, & stop abuses of power; with no guardrails, “free markets” become little more than freedom for the powerful to dominate.

Paxton's buddy, a child rapist, raped a child for 3 fucking years, from the time the child was aged 8 until 11. And Paxton thinks 60 days in the country club prison for rich GOP Texans was sufficient penalty for raping a child for three years? Come on Texas, kick the Paxton trash to the curb in Nov.

If they actually cared about crime, they would take care of their citizens instead of deliberately manufacturing the conditions for crime to arise anyway. People are just trying to survive, and the owning class is aware that they are manufacturing scarcity to keep the capital machine running.

Responding to this quote from Thiel, Weinstein confirms that it’s a kind of litmus test. He quotes Thiel as saying—“we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.”

Thiel is explicitly making this claim: Good is better than evil, but evil is better than incompetence—as defined by him. This is exactly the species of propaganda used by the worst dictators in history. “At least the trains run on time”

Thiel says he admires Goethe’s Faust because even though Faust did a deal with the devil at least he got something done. What Thiel elides in this description are the victims. In order to embark on his grand engineering project Faust and his new partner Mephistopheles have to murder people.
