Comparing Economic Penis Sizes for Socialists
Though I've largely given up on trying to convince people about the realities of economics with reason, evidence, empiricism, and logic, for my own personal sake I like to check in on various countries to see which economic models are working. And today I decided I'd check in on the left's favorite exception to the "Socialism Kills Nearly Everything" rule - the Scandinavian model.
To be honest, I was expecting their average economic growth to be slightly better than the US. This was in part because of our pathetic economic growth rate (which does not beat population growth) and Norway's oil (which would not only pull up their average, but is also the single most convenient fact about Scandinavian socialism leftists purposely ignore). But I was surprised to see the left's favorite economic children not even being able to beat the US's already pathetic economic growth:
It should be noted (and the left is already tripping over their organic coffees to point this out) that Sweden is the only country to average a growth rate above 2% (perhaps rape is good for economic growth after all). But that exception considered, the Scandinavian model looks pretty, well, horrible. They're only averaging around a 1% economic growth rate, a rate that is not going to help maintain/realize their socialist utopias, and only 60% their evil capitalist US counterpart.
But before we start breaking out American flags, chanting "USA," smugly assuming this is a point for capitalism, you have to step back and realize...
1. The US is NOT a capitalist nation, but is by all measures a mixed economy model like our Scandinavian counterparts and
2. The above economic growth rates, even Sweden's, still suck.
In short, we're doing a "who's got the biggest economic dick contest" amongst the smallest-dicked economies in the world - socialist ones.
Any visit to the OECD will show there are countries who are much more capitalist than the US and it's socialist sisters. You will also find out these countries have economic growth rates averaging around 4%, 5% even 9%, doubling, tripling, even quintupling the left's lazy economic growth. Russia, China, South Korea, the Baltics, even Mexico, all posting economic growth rates the United States used to.
I've done a much more thorough economic analysis of this, and this development is nothing new or shocking. Lazy people who live and parasite off of a dwindling productive class will result in slowing, and inevitably, contracting economic growth. The government by it's nature doesn't produce anything of value, and as more and more people view it as a source of income, or even employment, any country that pursues this economic policy will end. This isn't opinion, this isn't biased "right wing talk," it's merely pointing out simple economic realities.
Of course, the real problem the West has is not economic, but psychological. We've raised three full generations who are so ignorant and stupid, they actually think they have a right to do whatever they want and food, clothing, and shelter will magically fall out of the sky.
And it will for a time.
But understand this economic "manna from the heavens" is simply other people's work and production being forcefully redistributed by the government. And once the parasitic class out-consumes the productive ability of the productive class, that spigot will be turned off.
And then the real fun begins!
Enjoy the decline!

Why Donald Trump is Doomed to Fail
I had just finished a nerd-econo-blogger-podcaster conference in Cincinnati. It was a great time full of booze, poker, philosophy, economics, and all the stuff that makes for the rare addictive fix intelligent people crave. And while there was general consensus among this meeting of the minds, there was one issue where I was the odd man out.
Hope.
Hope for what?
Hope for the future of America, specifically through Donald Trump.
The reason I was in the single-person minority was because my colleagues genuinely believed that not only is there a chance America can be saved from a Soviet-esque 75 year nightmare, but Donald Trump is going to win the election. They would talk about "what needs to be done" or would start off sentences with "we need to do XXX" as if this Titanic was salvageable. Some even made the (rightful) argument that America, freedom, and liberty were the most noble of causes worth fighting for no matter what the odds.
I was certainly on their side and took no issue as to what "should be" in this world, but where I differed with the consensus was in the realm of practicality. I just don't live in "Shoulda Land."
Ergo, given their majority opinion is likely a good proxy for fellow libertarian, conservative, and freedom-lovers' opinions, I wanted to make the argument why I believe Donald Trump not only will fail, but is doomed to fail. And the reasons are two.
First, despite all of The Don's charisma and refreshingly blunt talk, one has to remember the re-election of Barack Obama. A veritable socialist who FAILED MISERABLY to get the economy moving again, I was convinced any self-respecting American would vote his incompetent ass out of office. Leftist or not, minority or not, male or female, people would realize he not only failed to live up to (unrealistic) expectations, but only worsened the long term financial stability of the US. You throw in Obamacare and I truly thought American would wake the f*ck up and vote him out.
They did not.
And what that taught me was that not only can a conservative never win the presidency ever again with 15% (and increasing) of our population being minorities (who tribalistically vote for socialism), but too high a percent of the population (including whites) are wedded to a socialist ideology to such a zealous level their emotions have totally eclipsed any intelligent thinking they're capable off.
The second, and iron-clad reason The Don is not the second coming of Ronald Reagan, is a variable I'm shockingly surprised nobody has brought up or thought of before.
Congress.
Perhaps it's because I remember the Jesse Ventura administration, but the executive branch does not stand alone. This isn't a monarchy, it's a democracy. And the executive branch (gubernatorial or presidential) has to deal with a legislature. And the legislature, BOTH republican and democrats hate Trump.
This is the real reason any discussion about "President Trump," let alone the "saving of America" is moot and a waste of time. I'm sure people are very excited to see the first non-politician get nominated for a major political party's presidential ticket. And as I drive further south past the Mason Dixon line, it becomes increasingly more apparent. But even if he does get elected...
So what?
You think congress is going to work with him to actually improve things? I, sadly, predict this will go down very much like a Jesse Ventura administration and nothing long term, fundamental, nor genuinely hopeful will come of it.
The truth is minorities are too brainwashed, people are too stupid, and congress is too corrupt to "get the government the WWII generation deserves." And while I know there may be some hope, perhaps wishful thinking, in the end you not only have to financially and physically prepare yourself for a decline with silver, guns, and overseas investments, you need to prepare yourself mentally for what's about to come.
Alas, I suggest you learn to enjoy the decline.

A Lesson About Race for the Video Game Industry: Mafia 3 & Originality
The number of instances where a white comic book hero was turned black, a Mary Jane turned Latino, or a male movie hero turned female is too high to count. It is merely the empirical reality of a wider trend among Hollywood, Disney/Marvel, and (in a more general sense) corporate America to appeal to a wider audience and virtue signal to an increasingly brainwashed leftist society. To any intellectually honest person it's both testament to the fact these people have ran out of creativity, and the true racism they hold against minorities in that they think minorities don't deserve their own original superheroes.
Which is why I was flabbergasted when I saw the trailer for Mafia 3.
Mafia 3 is PRECISELY what America needs, what minorities deserve, and what video game players expect.
Originality.
Though the third in a series of three, Mafia 3 focuses on a black hero who must build his own gang to stave off the Italian mob. It takes place in the late 60's when Motown and black culture was very prominent (if not defining) in America, it allows all video game players a chance to escape into a different world they may be too young to remember (or even be around for), and it delivers a true, ORIGINAL black hero that all races can cheer for.
So I just have to ask:
WTF gives Hollywood and Silicon Valley? Did you finally get your heads out of your asses and deliver a game that wasn't sermoning, lecturing, or driving some ulterior political motive? Did you actually start to think maybe, just maybe blacks deserved their own heroes? Did one of you actually take the time to sit down and think of a new idea that hadn't been done before? Or was it just 2K and the rest of you are still the bandwagoning race pimps who are still fresh out of ideas?
Because let me explain to you how this is going to go down. If more and more movies, games, comic books, and other media are launched with original minority and female heroes (and villains) blacks, hispanics, Asians, women, not to mention whites are going to start demanding (GASP!!!!) MORE ORIGINAL HEROES! And that's particularly threatening to you because that will require what you're just plain out of:
Originality.
What's worse for you is that in due time minorities and women will realize PRECISELY what you're doing: merely co-opting Whitey-Mc-Male-Male characters and putting black face on them (or vag). Which is not only insulting, but nothing more than passing on "hand-me-down" clothes to your less-liked children.
I know talentless hacks and posers like you have no creativity, ability, innovation, or originality within you. But you better get some, otherwise you will be outed for the condescending racists you truly are.

Black Baby Boomers Hurting Black Youth
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you want to talk about
REAL Uncle Toms?
REAL Oreos?
REAL Traitors to the race?
How about the scumbag charlatans charging young black youth an arm and a leg for tuition for a completely WORTHLESS degree such as African American Studies?
Shoot, show me a group of white people that get young black kids to
1. borrow $100,000
2. Give it to them in return for
3. Nothing, while
4. Crippling those kids' futures for the rest of their lives.
It's good to see hyphenated-American studies are being shut down due to low enrollment. It should also be noted they should be shut down because they're bad for the minorities that "earn" those degrees.
