When I criticize Kamala, NPCs assume I’m pro-Trump.

When I criticize Trump, NPCs assume I’m pro-Kamala.

The NPC mind cannot fathom that someone can be critical of *both* parties.

There is no red.

There is no blue.

There is the State.

And there is you.

I keep pushing back on two types of NPCs:

1) The right-leaning type of NPC that thinks all the inflation occurred because of the Biden Administration. Price inflation comes with a lag from money-printing, which began under Trump and continued under Biden, but materialized under Biden. That's why I was writing about upcoming inflation in 2020 and continued doing so in 2021 and thereafter.

2) The left-leaning type of NPC that thinks "price gouging corporations" are causing the inflation and that price controls are an answer. A casual reading of history would refute this, any easy check on public SEC filings would demonstrate this, etc. So it's like, "no, the grocery store with 1.4% net profit margins is not the cause of your food price woes, madam."

It's not so much that I get annoyed by people not knowing things. There's a million things I don't know. What I do find mildly frustrating is when people are so confidentially sure of a position that they have almost zero knowledge in.

No clearer sign of an NPC than that 😂

>> What I do find mildly frustrating is when people are so confidentially sure of a position that they have almost zero knowledge in.

Dunning-Kruger at its finest

The curious mind is conscious of what it does not know, admits its shortcomings, and seeks the truth.

The NPC mind just Dunning-Krugers its way through life convinced of its own correctness.

Sounds correct

NPC: would rather be "right" than find the truth

🎯

Type 1 at least has a grasp of the concept of “money printing”.

IMO Type 2 is more challenging to educate as politicians and financial illiterates happily feed their incorrect cause of general inflation.

The struggle is real

I’ve seen both but the ratio seems to be 1 to 5

Also, Trump’s import tariffs are highly inflationary as well as retarded.

I don't always pretend to know something about something that I know nothing at all. but when I do, I know it all.

welcome to the human race

they've been printing 7% more money for decades

productivity growth typically is 5%

7% - 5% is 2%, the targeted rate of inflation but really it should be negative 5%, which works just fine in the software or computer industry

Unfortunately I find this to be true with most people I know. They take a stance on a subject and stick to it even though you can tell they know nothing about what they are talking about and keep repeating the same sensational lies MSM keeps feeding them. People refuse to take even a little bit of time to research the things they think they know.

Read a book a long time ago called “People of the Lie” wherein the author M. Scott Peck defines evil as “ militant ignorance.”

So true

Then there is Yeats ... "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity" (The Second Coming - 1920) ... or

Bertrand Russell "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt" (Stupidity Rules - 1933) ....

If only both sides could see the common enemy

💯

It’s like they’d bet their lives on it. Do I laugh or cry?!

“It's not so much that I get annoyed by people not knowing things. There's a million things I don't know. What I do find mildly frustrating is when people are so confidentially sure of a position that they have almost zero knowledge in.”

Aptly said. I sometimes struggle with my own internally held positions and wonder how anyone can be so god damned sure of themselves when it’s clear they haven’t really put in the work to understand the nuances of a concept

Amen.

Understanding that will make you free. 🫡

Exactly

We criticize Trump because he’s retarded and weird.

So true & never forget, everything the state says is a lie & everything the state has it has stolen

No lie that phrase you say remains one of the meaningful takeaways of my time on this platform. It isn’t a lie. I had to Google what NPC meant though. I was like “non party conformist?” Close 🤗

Wow, I’m honored 🙏

Facts friend! 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

You are worse than a commie nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u

I'm not a,statist but we need more state and less govt

There is no spoon

For whom are you voting? It’s nearly a binary decision. Most people (90%) are not undecided voters. They want know if you are friend or foe and if they should attack you or even agree with you. What if you scare off the undecided voter from the best option?

I would vote for a pro-TND and pro-TPD party

i vote orange

If the thesis in the Sovereign Individual come true – and I believe they will – all this politick will look like burning red heads because they're witches.

People (sadly bitcoiners too) have been dragged into this dialectical intellectual retardation that marxists are: "if you're not pro-us, you're against us", "if you hold capital, you are oppressing the workers".

100%

It's also quite possible to be critical of the state and be an NPC

It's called being a libertarian.

Choose team orange, and vote by running a node.

They’re the same.

Sure but not voting is voting for the side that has the media's hand in everything AKA democrats at the moment and they are deadset heading for chokepoint 2.0 while Trump just hired Howard Lutnik who is an extremely smart pro-Bitcoin individual. The choice is extremely obvious if you are a Bitcoiner American.

maybe youshould make clear that you believe in Walkerism and you are pro Walker

Oh, Sage. Tell us more.

I assume NPCs are NGMI 🥹

Must be domestic terrorism

im 14 and this is deep

I am in the exact same boat but I won’t let either side not hear how they are inefficient!

They are all shit

Don't be ridiculous. The TV says that there's a good team and a bad team. If you're not on one, you're obviously on the other.

Duh.
