Americans are being forced to integrate with illegal foreigners en masse against our collective will, violating our private property, aka our nation. A majority has agreed to remove these unwanted f...

When the southern border was more porous Mexican workers would come seasonally, work the agricultural jobs most Americans still don’t want to work and go home with a bundle of green backs for their family. After Vietnam one of the generals who was feeling like shit for having had his ass handed to him, applied for the job of border management and amped everything up. This forced many Mexicans to choose to stay when they successfully crossed the border rather than gambling on not being able to get back. Sometimes the outcome you hope for doesn’t quite work out.

Is Zohran Mamdani the reincarnation of Henry George?
Because it feels like NYC just elected the guy who might finish the revolution George died trying to start.

🗽🔥



A young, African-born, Muslim mayor with no machine backing.
Winning in New York City, the capital of rent extraction.
Talking openly about rent freezes, free transit, public essentials.
Owing nothing to the real estate class.

@ScottSantens @_HenryGeorge @HousingTW



This is exactly the political DNA needed for the first real Land Value Tax uprising in a century.
If NYC captures even a fraction of land value for the public, the dominoes fall globally.

@henrygeorgeorg @ProgressandPov @StrongTowns



You can feel it:
Bitcoin as neutral reserve.
UBI as safety net.
LVT as fairness engine.
Young voters done with scarcity politics.

@LynAldenContact @Gladstein @AndrewYang



Henry George ran for NYC mayor twice.
He was about to win the second time when he died.
History didn’t repeat — it paused.

Is Mamdani the one to un-pause it?

And if we truly separated “church and state” or “money and culture”. If we weren’t bleeding 50% of the value of the fiat money in which we store the energy we spent to earn it over every couple of decades we could lean more into a healthy culture…our culture is primarily “how do we survive our diseased monetary system.” After that who had energy for art or sport or people?

The simple volume of information does not allow the average, even the above average, individual to have fully formed ideas, if we are not continuously/continually? developing our position we are dangerously entrenched in the doctrines of others.
