Nothing is ever about our safety. This country and the world only changes when we eliminate The CIA. “It’ll take someone willing to be assassinated”
“—Shut the f*ck up. You're not protecting us, actually”
“You open the southern border to anyone who wants come. You're not checking IDs. You're not doing any kind of biometrics. You're not even screening for COVID. So clearly, you don't care about my safety.
Stop telling me you do. You don't. You're a criminal. Stop this, charade. You don't care about my safety.
So using my safety as a pretext for spying me, it's not gonna fly because I'm not that stupid. I may be kind of stupid, I'm not that stupid. No. You're doing this for one simple reason because this is what organizations do. They protect themselves.
They exist for their own benefit. All human organizations from the church bake sale committee to the Department of Justice, they all are the same. They're an organism just like any other, and an organism's main goal is to survive and reproduce to get bigger. And you just see this throughout the federal bureaucracy, which just so happens that the largest human organization in history is the federal government of the United States. And so all of this stuff benefits its it accrues to its own power.
That's why, like, let's say you believed every quote piece of science or scientific claim about global climate change. You would not reach the same policy conclusions. You'd be like, well, the first thing we need is ban private air travel because obviously that doesn't make any sense. And then the second thing we need to do is, you know, whatever. You'd you'd look at it rationally for a scientific if if you bought the premise, which I don't, but if you did, you would.
That no. You go through every climate, quote, climate demand. Not one of them disempowers large organizations, whether it's NGOs or the government of the United States. Not one of them. They all make the government more powerful, and they all make you less powerful.
So that's when you know it's not really about the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. It's about making them more powerful and disempowering you. And it's not about who runs those agencies. The bigger the agency, the more effective it will be in doing what all human organizations do, which is protect themselves and increase their power. It's like that it's fundamental.
I guess that's what I'm saying. It's not about, oh, elect Trump. It'll change. No. It'll only change when, like, we're just eliminating the CIA, and we're gonna have, like, a small intel gathering service that feeds the president relevant information so we can make informed foreign policy decisions, but we're not gonna we're not gonna, like, overturn elections in other countries in the name of democracy because that's insane.
If we believe in democracy, then we're gonna let people vote for their own leaders because we believe in democracy as a principle. Right? Right. Like, you just get rid of all this shit because it's not helping us. Us.
It's only hurting us. And, um, it would take someone, uh, you know, who'd be willing to be assassinated to do anything like that. And so as as you're choosing your leaders, ask yourself, does this person mean it enough to die? And that's the same question you would ask about your own dad. Does he love me enough to die for me?
About your own husband, does he love me enough to protect me from a home home invader at risk to himself? Like, the the basic prerequisite for leadership is love of the people you lead and the willingness to die for them. And if you don't have that, you shouldn't be leading, period. It's true in the military, it's true in business, it's true in your home, and it's true in the government. And so no president will fix this unless he's like literally willing to die for it.
And short of that, it can't be fixed.”
wow pretty awesome!!
