This is my only public feed. I use Bluesky because it is simple and built for the public side of things. That does not mean I agree with the general vibe here. But the technology fits my needs.
Any nation that remains poor, corrupt, and chaotic for generations reflects systemic cultural, moral, and institutional failure among the population itself. Such a population is weak, unfit, and nowhere near capable of sustaining a functioning society.
A nation’s overall development, its wealth, order, innovation, and governance, reflects the collective mindset, discipline, and productivity of its people.
Mass immigration, both legal and illegal, on the other hand, will depress wages, strain infrastructure, and dilute long-term social cohesion. A country exists to serve its people first, not to become a labor market free for all.
When there’s a skills gap, the first step should be training citizens, incentivizing apprenticeships, and partnering with industries to align education with real workforce needs. It strengthens the domestic economy, raises productivity, and preserves national identity.
Survival of the fittest, not survival of the first.
Life is worth living. Life is worth fighting for. It doesn’t matter how much trouble you’re in. Never give up. Fight. Fight. Fight. And WIN. The world is for winners only.
Dynamics is the new way to run a business.
The Manhattan business model is dead.
If a company builds an in-house problem solving or strategy division led by experienced entrepreneurs, it gets people who’ve actually built and failed, not just analyzed case studies. That kind of team focuses on results, not reports.
Corporate consulting firms make money by diagnosing problems that justify more consulting hours. They create dependency rather than building internal capability. Their advice is detached from the reality of actually building or operating a business.
The old school corporate model with layers of internal bureaucracy, endless meetings, and outside consultants like McKinsey kills innovation. Even companies with massive cash reserves eventually fail if their leadership listens to consultants instead of builders.
Real businesses should have competence built in.
If a company needs another to tell it how to run its business, it shouldn’t be in business. And if your business is telling others how to run theirs, neither should you.
Legacy automakers’ biggest mistake is trying to mimic something they’re not prepared for. That’s why they’re falling behind. The real culprit is government overreach, especially the EU with its ridiculous regulations and forced push.
Entrepreneurs are the engine of progress. We’re the ones who see opportunities where others see obstacles, who turn ideas into real impact. We take responsibility, embrace risk, and push the economy forward, not by waiting for someone else to act, but by acting ourselves.
I’ve to earn my money, unlike those who work for the government.
Government is a structural scam. An institution with zero accountability. Every government employee is a deadbeat loser. No matter how poorly these good for nothing sacks of trash perform, they keep their jobs & paychecks. Failure is ignored, corruption is rampant, and inefficiency is normalized.
Tyranny of the majority, aka mob rule. Some people call it democracy.
I don’t care about ‘democracy’; I care about societal functionality.
Confidence replaces anxiety because you trust your ability or judgment. Nervousness usually comes from doubt or uncertainty.
Nature rewards strength, not need.
Olympics will ban trans from all women’s events. Finally, some common sense, and science wins again, as always.
Be a narcissist, there is nothing wrong with it, unlike what weak, pathetic betas say.
Forcing everything to mix, whether species in nature or cultures and systems in human society, can disrupt natural balances and reduce overall resilience. In ecosystems, invasive species or artificial interventions collapse established networks.
I’m a libertarian as well as a pragmatist.
