“The original idea of postwar American conservatism and of the ‘Reagan Revolution’ was not simply to take over the American mega-state but to begin dismantling it; not for conservatives to lodge themselves in the institutional woodwork of the federal bureaucracy but to start reducing its size, its costs, its personnel, and its powers. That goal involved deregulation of the economy and restoration of authority and independence to states and localities, but also a diminution of the powers of the presidency and the augmentation of the powers of the Congress as the representative of local and state communities, the expression of the deliberate sense of the American people. Not only has that goal not been achieved, but now appears a body of ideas that supports a shift in the goal itself, the beginnings of a theoretical justification on ostensibly conservative grounds of the mega-state and of the centralized power of the presidency as its core. In recapitulating the liberal defense of the ‘imperial presidency,’ conservatives may soon find themselves metamorphosing into something they never wanted to be.”

No, Powell Is Not “Keeping Interest Rates High”
Power & Market - Ryan McMaken
There really is no reasoning with Trump fanboys when it comes to the reality of his policies. They will spin anything and everything to portray Trump‘s blatant anti-freedom and anti-market policies as secret crypto-libertarianism. It’s all 1000-D chess, you see.

And to be clear, I’m not sharing this as a jab against Roman Catholics right now, and I shared the excerpts from the Lutheran Confessions because Lutherans were contradicting them.

I’d say there’s a choice to improve or continue, but given the nature of the problem, framing it as a choice is ill-fitting. Since everything is vibes and impulses and reaction, this trajectory will continue until something rips it apart or another thing overtakes it (or both). It’ll take a while for this to bear out, but ceding the field of consistently believing in something will have consequences that can’t be wished away when they hit. Until then, it’ll be a continual cycle of narratives and truths shifting like sand, while every spoken sentence condenses into two meanings: “approve” or “disapprove”.

Tariffs Did Not Make America Great and Won’t Make America Great Again
Mises Wire - Joshua Mawhorter
Trump has even dubbed himself “a Tariff Man.” This is nothing new, however, his frequent claims regarding the US economy during the Gilded Age need scrutiny.

This is actually a perfect demonstration happening in front of our eyes right now of why “conservatism” is bad

🍀👨💻⚠️ — Over the past hours, many netizens have erroneously shared this image, claiming to be the "numbers of posts of 4Chan's /pol/ per flag"
However this is a Manipulated image/data.
The screenshot is from 4plebs.org, an unofficial website that tracks and archives 4chan posts, unrelated to the forum per se directly, much less to the recent breach
4plebs.org stopped tracking country statistics in 2021.
Per the final archive of the country statistics webpage in December 2020, Israel only had a total of 936363 posts:

Since a bunch of people of varying quality are talking about the state of the right, it’s probably a good idea to revisit this and understand trajectories.
It’s almost undeniable that the right’s memes and ideas are worse than they were a few years ago. Most people with platforms who haven’t abandoned ship or switched sides mostly rely on feelings. They think, say, and act on what just feels right. Barely anyone reads anymore. One position taken on one given week is liable to totally change the next week depending on who is on other side or depending on what needs to be true for whatever the narrative will be later. Others seem to believe things because at that time they want that belief to be true, regardless of whether it’s actually true.

There’s a contradiction between:
1. Believing that tariffs are right-wing
2. Because the imports are made with slave labor

President Trump‘s threat to withhold $9 billion from Harvard University is being framed in the legacy media and academia as a threat to Harvard‘s academic freedom. But there is a pertinent question no pundits are even asking: Why are taxpayers being forced to give Harvard $9 billion?

It’s way past time to move past vibes-based and aesthetics-based judgments being the main driver of beliefs and thus being the lens of interpreting the world.

Don’t Like Tariffs on Food? Just Make Do with Less, You Glutton.
Power & Market - Ryan McMaken
In February of 2023, as price inflation soared above six percent, and only a few months earlier hit a forty-year high, a columnist at the Wall Street Journal presented a solution for rising food prices: just skip breakfast!

The State of Israel restricts Christian access to holy sites
Palestinian Christians are denied the basic right to travel and visit sites owned by Christians long before the State of Israel ever existed.

I looked for mentions of "immigration" in Douglas Murray's new book On Democracies and Death Cults
It's mentioned once to praise philosemitic second generation immigrants like Rishi Sunak, and once to talk about the unfairness of Jewish immigrants being questioned by immigration authorities before entering Britain
