👉Predstavljajte si lačnega človeka. 👉Daš mu kruh. Hvaležen je. Naslednji dan mu ga daš ponovno. In naslednji dan spet. 👉Čez čas kruha ne dojema več kot pomoč, ampak kot nekaj samoumevnega. V psihologiji je to povezano s pojavom, imenovanim hedonistična adaptacija oziroma "baseline trap". 👉Potem mu nekdo pove, da bo ta kruh morda izgubil. 👉Nenadoma ga postane strah. In tisti, ki mu obljubi, da bo kruh obdržal, postane njegov zaščitnik. 👉To je odpor do izgube ("loss aversion"). Dokazan psihološki pojav, zaradi katerega se ljudje pogosto močneje odzovemo na grožnjo izgube kot na možnost enakovrednega dobička. 👉In prav na tem mehanizmu lahko temelji politična manipulacija. 👉Ko levičarska politika gradi svojo podporo na opozorilih, da bodo ljudje brez nje izgubili socialne pravice, dodatke in druge ugodnosti, ne ponuja več samo varnosti. Uporablja tudi strah pred izgubo. 👉Človeka, ki se boji izgubiti kruh, je lažje prepričati z obljubo zaščite kot z obljubo novih priložnosti. ❗Zato je treba politiko presojati po tem, ali ljudem omogoča, da postanejo samostojnejši, ali pa jih ohranja v položaju, ko je njihov obstoj odvisen od odločitev oblasti.❗ 🎯Največja vrednost socialne politike ni v tem, koliko ljudi prejema pomoč, ampak koliko ljudem omogoči, da je ne potrebujejo več. 🎯

Louis Vuitton je imel v 2025 dobička kar 11 mrd EUR. Zakaj Robert Golob kupuje izdelke od tujih podjetij, ki prodajajo po previsokih cenah in kujejo neupravičene dobičke, medtem ko je kot Predsednik Vlade domača podjetja omejeval pri cenah in preprečeval takšne dobičke?
"Jaz res ne vem, kaj bi meni nižji davki koristili. Razen, da bi imel več denarja na računu in bi ga zapravljal mogoče za večje neumnosti."

The point of no return by Richard von Mises is worth reading: "A state becomes almost unreformable when the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (state employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies, grants, or transfer payments, etc.). As soon as those who net benefit from or are supported by the state outnumber those who do not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes out of self-interest for the preservation or expansion of state services." Does this sound familiar? Some European countries, France, Belgium, Finland are already way beyond that point, closely followed by Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy. It works for a while, as long as markets buy more sovereign debt at reasonable interest rates. The party ends when they stop though. For France, they stopped this month, Belgium will be next. The longer the socialist illusion persists, the more painful the inevitable cuts and adjustments will be. It’s pure arithmetic. Good luck Europe, good luck Euro. Buckle up, it won’t be pretty.

Hitler was a far left socialist. Literally in the name of his party!
It's been months that I keep saying Hitler was far left. Every time, thousands of clowns show up in my replies to give me history lessons. So I made a video to answer all these low IQ takes at once. Topic closed. Next.

Denmark spent decades building nearly 5,000 wind turbines Together, they produced 21.6 TWh in the last 12 months One nuclear plant in Sweden made 23.3 TWh Oh, and nuclear runs 24/7 — wind doesn’t There's one big reason Denmark has some of the most expensive electricity in the world transparency.entsoe.eu/gener… api.energidataservice.dk/dat… eia.gov/electricity/monthly/… iaea.org/publications/16059
Fun fact: Sweden has four nuclear reactors that have each generated more electricity than all Danish wind turbines ever. Forsmark 3 and Oskarshamn 3 started in 1985, the year Denmark banned nuclear. Both still ahead of Denmark’s entire wind fleet.

DESGARRADOR 💔 Wiam, de tan solo 13 años, fue obligada a casarse con Mohammed, de 29. Entre lágrimas, cuenta su pesadilla diaria. Debe esperarlo lista cada noche. No puede decir “no” a NINGUNA demanda. Si se niega, la golpean. El resto… es demasiado atroz para escribirlo. 💔

Zapomnite si, največje žrtve socializma so na koncu vedno v srednjem sloju. Bogati pobegnejo, čeprav so (nekateri) prej to politiko hipokritsko podpirali, revnim nimajo kaj vzet, ostane srednji sloj, ki pogosto težko zbeži.

Meloni announces a new decree and 4 new measures to combat violent riots and looting. She says that people of foreign background constitute half of the 330 people arrested and detained so far. The new measures include prison sentences of up to 5 years and fines of €20,000 for participating in violent protests. Under the new decree: - Rioters acting in groups of 5 or more face tougher penalties, particularly if they conceal their faces or injure someone. - Parents will be held financially responsible for damage caused by their underage children. - Preventive detention powers will be extended to minors. - An additional 500 soldiers will be deployed to Milan until the end of the year. - Juvenile courts and detention facilities will receive additional resources. Meloni said hundreds of teenagers, many mobilized through social media, had joined Antifa extremists in the streets to vandalize property, loot stores and film themselves committing crimes.

Milei já eliminou 77 mil vagas no funcionalismo público. Agora, anuncia um novo pacote com mais 20 mil demissões. Esse é o modelo que Flávio Bolsonaro quer trazer para o Brasil.

Giorgia Meloni just passed new measures that will end the “student protests” really fast. If you take part in a violent demonstration, you face up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to €20,000. The sentence is harsher if faces are covered or people are injured. Parents are now financially liable for the damage and vandalism their underage children cause. Police can detain 14–17 year olds who pose a danger, even without a prior crime. She also deployed 500 army troops to Milan alongside police to protect the city through the end of the year. This is great. Now she just needs to mass deport them all!

Odkar je najboljši manager ever zrihtal plače v javnem sektorju, ima ta v povprečju za 500 eur višje plače kot zasebni. Če vzamemo samo sektor država, je razlika že 600 eur. 1. Kdo pri zdravi pameti bo šel delat v zasebni sektor? 2. Kaj se je spremenilo na bolje odkar so se plače v javnem sektorju zvišale? Manj čakanja na zdravstvene storitve? Manj čakanja v sodnih postopkih? Manj čakanja na gradbeno dovoljenje? Kakovostnejše šolstvo?
