🔥Victor Davis Hanson Nails the Truth about Mexico: “Mexico is an enemy of the United States, and I say that for four reasons: 1. It exports illegal aliens deliberately to this country who go on federal, state, and local support so they can free up $65 billion in remittances to prop up that corrupt government that won’t help its people who are indigenous in southern Mexico. While it calls us racist!” 2. “It allows China to send cheap, below the cost of production material, steel, aluminum, plastics—and then it assembles these appliances and cars so that China can get around the tariffs.” 3. “It allows China to send unprocessed fentanyl, there would be no other purpose but to kill Americans. And these cartels, that have infiltrated entire states in Mexico, but also the federal government, and then they reprocess the fentanyl to look like Valium, to look like Seconal, to look like Benzedrine, and they kill, until recently, 100,000. Trump brought it down to 60,000 with a wall and toll.” 4. “They’re a big supporter of Cuba, and they broadcast at the UN anti-American boilerplate. And yet our economy through remittances and an open border has propped that corrupt government up for years. And then we have this other Orwellian situation where we have literally millions of illegal aliens who leave Mexico and they can’t find prosperity, they’re afraid, and they have no freedom really, and they come up here and they acquire all three, and they protest against our ICE, they wave Mexican flags at sporting events…”

@brivael. You are totally on target. The most damning part wasn’t the slogan itself, damning as it was. It was that an official WEF video could say, out loud, “You'll own nothing and you'll be happy,” and the civilized world mostly shrugged and looked the other way. They sold it as utopia. I never read it that way. I was appalled the very first time I saw it…stunned that anyone could try to pawn this off as anything but what it was: an ignorant, evil attempt from a managerial class that holds ordinary human life in total contempt. No interest in the quality of that life. No interest in raising intelligence or character of the people, only in securing permanent control. Ownership transferred upward. Privacy erased. Dependency engineered. You call the project coherent. I see it as the project that once flew a red flag, and still does, whether they fly it or not. Marx wanted the state to abolish private property. These people want the platform, the subscription, the digital ID, and the central-bank currency to do it. Power is the point. The outcome is identical: a population that owns nothing, facing a caste that owns everything and meters out usage. Communism without the aesthetics. Evil, any way you look at it. That is what brought me to this platform when it was still Twitter. The realization that large parts of the West had not merely lost their sense of humanity, they had lost the ability to recognize evil when it spoke in soft, progressive tones. Free people do not voluntarily surrender the right to own what they choose, to keep private what is private, or to think without permission. Yet here we were, being told that surrender was the right thing to do. How did anyone buy into that? They used Covid as the accelerant. They never should have gotten away with it. The same class that published the 2030 agenda used the crisis to install digital identity rails, speech controls, capital controls, and a new moral vocabulary that made resistance look selfish, but only to the extremely naive. DEl was one of the weapons. Look at Cambridge and Jason Arday. Credentials manufactured, standards quietly lowered. An entire generation taught that competence is secondary to the correct identity narrative. That is not inclusion. That is the deliberate production of dependency and the thinning of the capable. How did it get this far? Evil rarely announces itself with horns. It arrives as the WEF’s 2030 agenda and “equity” policy. The same spirit is now electoral. Mamdani in New York treating private property as a resource to be harvested from the productive. El-Sayed in Michigan promising free healthcare, the classic offer that creates dependency, and concentrates power in the hands of those who promise it. They still recite the line about the road to serfdom being paved with good intentions. It was obvious from the start that their intentions were never good. The pattern is too consistent, the contempt for ordinary ownership and ordinary competence too obvious. You are right that the first two parts of the formula, own nothing, be surveilled, are being built in plain sight. The third part, “and be happy,” is the one we are still free to refuse. We refuse it. And we fight it. Loudly. With everything we have. Like David against Goliath: good must prevail over evil, and light over darkness.
