Bukele weighing in on the thread from X: The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward. I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress. When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment. Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks. They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around. Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits? The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

From @ UlrichFY on X: This video is a true waking nightmare for the degrowth ecologist. A robot that tracks pathogens and pests at night using ultraviolet light, without a gram of chemical products, isn't just a gadget... It's enough to make the entire ecologist theology collapse. Here, it's the entrepreneur and the market that offer a truly effective solution to environmental challenges. No constraints, no going back, and no renunciation. The entrepreneur solves the problem by creating abundance where we were promised scarcity. The role of progress has always been that: to produce abundance from natural scarcity, with human ingenuity as the ultimate means. One question remains: if technology truly solves the problems that ecologism claims to fight, why does ecologism hate it so much? Simply because what it wants isn't a preserved nature—it's an administered society, one it would control. Like all other constructivist, socialist, and collectivist ideologies, what truly matters to the ecologist isn't solving the challenges of their time; it's ruling over the people of their time. The hero will always be the entrepreneur, never the one who hates him.

Based Chuck suffers no fools. $100B in debt balloons to $800B when you just subsidize borrowers. Now over a third in default.

One thing a lot of people miss in the #privacy discussion is how kids are MORE exposed. They have a MUCH longer tail of paper trails they leave and what's worse is they don't fully understand the consequences of the surveillance and their choices.

One of the best things about the internet is it democratized being funny with memes and banger posts Not everyone can hold it together to do a punchline but a lot of very funny creative meme-smiths out there.

Brivael Le Pogam on X: Everyone thinks that the free world won in 1989, with the fall of the Berlin Wall. That's false. And that's exactly why the world is on fire today. What fell on November 9, 1989, was a machine. A planned economy, a military empire, a concrete wall. What didn't fall was the idea. The idea that the world is divided between oppressors and oppressed. The idea that there is a final equality to be achieved, by any means necessary. The idea that everything that exists (the family, the nation, merit, inheritance) is a structure of domination to be torn down. That idea wasn't in the building when the building collapsed. We need to rewind the timeline, because everything is in the timeline: Economic communism had a fatal flaw: it was refutable. It promised abundance, it produced famines. It promised emancipation, it produced barbed wire. Budapest 1956, Prague 1968, The Gulag Archipelago published in Paris in 1973, the boat people of 1979: every decade, reality sent its refutation. The boat people were a floating refutation, visible from the beaches. So the ideology did what every threatened organism does: it mutated. The mutation has a name, and I've traced its genealogy here: French Theory. Foucault shifted the war from the terrain of facts, where communism lost every time, to the terrain of knowledge itself. If there is no truth, if there are only power relations disguised as knowledge, then no famine, no wall, no gulag can refute anything anymore. French Theory didn't bury Marxism. It made it irrefutable. And the mutation has dates. All prior to 1989. 1934: The Frankfurt School, chased from Germany, sets up at Columbia. The critique of the economy becomes a critique of culture. 1964-1965: Marcuse, German exile turned American professor, replaces the failing proletariat with a new revolutionary subject (minorities, students, outcasts) and writes in black and white that tolerance must be granted to left-wing movements and denied to those on the right. October 1966: The landing has a precise date. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Derrida, Barthes, Lacan present French thought to American campuses. 1967: Rudi Dutschke launches the slogan, the long march through the institutions. 1968: Street revolutions fail everywhere. No matter. The revolution will no longer pass through the streets; it will pass through the classroom. 1975-1985: Yale, Berkeley, Columbia absorb the theory, which becomes the operating system of the humanities. 1987: Allan Bloom publishes The Closing of the American Mind to sound the alarm. A million copies sold. The university calls him a reactionary and moves on. America had its Aron, and it did the same thing to him that we did to ours. Then comes November 9, 1989. The Wall falls. The West celebrates. Fukuyama had declared the end of History the previous summer, even before the fall. We dismantle the missiles, cash in on the peace dividends, declare the match over. We celebrated our victory over an empty address. The ideology had moved out twenty years earlier. We won against the tanks and lost against the chairs. Meanwhile, the other communist empire read the situation the opposite way. Beijing had crushed Tiananmen in blood five months before Berlin. Grim, but clear-sighted on one point: China knew the war was ideological. It chose: abandon Marxist economics, keep control of the narrative. The West did exactly the opposite: it kept the market and absorbed the ideology. Thirty-five years later, look at who's building power plants and who's toppling its statues. You want proof that it's the same software? Make the correspondence table. The class struggle has become the identity struggle. The kulaks have become the privileged. Maoist self-criticism has become privilege checking. The political commissars have become DEI officers. The samizdat has become the shadowbanned account. The nomenklatura left Moscow for Davos and Brussels. And paradise is no longer called the classless society: it's called equity, equality of outcomes. Exactly what I described here a few weeks ago. People will say: there is no Gulag. That's true. That's even the entire genius of version 2.0. Hard communism had to break bodies because it didn't hold minds. Soft communism holds minds: it just has to break careers. No camps, just HR departments. No Moscow Trials, just public apologies. No Siberia, just social death. Ask the Eastern Bloc émigrés settled in the West what they feel when they walk through an American university in 2026. They recognize the smell. And that's why the world is on fire. A civilization spent thirty-five years teaching its own children that it was the problem. Result: it no longer knows how to defend its borders, pass on its heritage, or even name its enemies. When the president of Harvard, before Congress, responds that condemning a call for genocide "depends on the context," you see the software running in production. And the predators from outside read that weakness like an open book: Moscow probes, Beijing waits, Islamism advances in the streets of our capitals. The external fire is only the consequence of internal disarmament. You only burn well the houses that have emptied themselves of their defenders. The Wall didn't fall. It moved. It no longer separates East from West: it now runs through the inside of every Western institution, between those who build and those who deconstruct. The first Cold War was won with missiles and GDP. The second will be won with schools, free media, and AI models. Whoever writes the values into the machines will write the next 1989. This time, let's not mistake the victory. To work.
